A complaint lodged with the re corder and chief of police, asking the er forced discontinuance of the public er.Urtainments and dances given in the various colored halls of Brooklyn ty colored people, caused the issu ance of warrents for Ed McGee and Johrf Ross, both colored. The charge which both men faced yesterday morning Is that of running a disorder ly house, a public nuisance. ' A large crowd of negroes manifested their interest In the proceedings by their prsence at the trial. McGee was represented by Mr. Thaddeus Aj Adams and John ROss by Mr. E. R. Preston. J. T. Sautters, the, city's only colored lawyer, appeared for the prosecution. Thls fact In connection with other related ones, caused an amusing mixup which may result in the cessation of litigation.--The move-i ment backing the petition was started among the colored ministers and others of high standing in colored circles. Investigation, however,1 de veloped the fact that the hall in which the dances and gatherings are held la the property of the colored lodge of Odd Fellows and Good Samaritans, It was when the re-eordereallzedhatrit-would-ber-ft hard matter to a:et evidence against the Individual giving dances and rul ed that the board of directors of the organizations which owned the build ings were - primarily responsi ble 'and should be . prosecut ed that the fun , came High up on the rolls of the directors appear the names not. only pf the attorney who was conducting the prosecution. but of many of the prominent coiorea citizens and ministers who had Insti gated the litigation. This . discovery disqualified Sanders from appearing and caused some consternation. Among the trustees are Dave Smith, Oscar Crane, Dave Frazler, H. A. Kirk, Joseph Hunter and C. S. Smith. These names and, others were taken down. 1 ' Such evidence as was introduced went to show that twice a week meet ings are held in these halls, which are on Secondhand Boundary-streets; The attendants were loud, boisterous and profane and the best of the color ed citizens of that neighborhood In terested themselves to see that -the meetings meet with abolition.

The word was hardly riven before Queen nailed his man and held him like a vice. Mr. Johnston ordered Queen to carry Southall Into a cell where he was locked in.

Southall butted the iron again. "Another time." said Mr. Johnston. "It will do you good." Southall butted one more time like a goat and then fell over and slaved possum.
