Prlaoaer Corrects a Mbqnotatloa as to a Pistol He Carried and the Cause of His Removal. The removal of Ed. Utley from the second to the third floor of the Cum berland county jail last Friday upon the strength of a reported remark that he made to the effect that he could get out when he wanted to in spite of doors and locks, seems to have created a rumpus in Fayetteville, Inasmuch aa the third floor of the Cumberland jail is understood to be set aside for colored yisoaejsrThe--gayettBTina CShsffrati Of 'yesterday afternoon in ita account Of the proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners, which met in the morning, says: -' Col. O. W. Broadfoot, Hon. J. G. Shaw and H. McD. Robinson, Esq., appeared before the Board and protest ed against the removal of their client, E. L. Utley, to a cell in the cage on the third floor of the jail, and quoted section 783 of the Code to show that white prisoners should not be placed in the same compartments as colored. After some discussion the Board re solved itself into a committee of the whole and visited the jail for the pur pose of designating the various de partments as required by law. Upon their return from the jail the Board passed the following resolution: "That the prisoners on second floor, confined in jail, will be located as follows: White male prisoners in the two cells in northeaat part of the jail; while female prisoners, if any, to be confined In the southeast part of the jail ; when not used for white female prisoners, the same can be used for colored. The third floor of the jail is to be used for the confinement of male colored prisoners, but in case the female cells on the second floor are oc cupied, the colored females are to be confined on the third floor." After the action of the County Com missioners in setting apart the second floor of the jail for white and the third floor for colored prisoners. Sheriff Marsh ordered the removal of Utley from the third floor, or caged cells, where he was placed Saturday afternoon, to his old cell on .the second floor. He will be temporarily placed tn a cell adjoining this for a day or two, however, while mechanics are en gaged in making the cell for his occu pancy more fcecure. ' The Observer publishes a card from Utley as follows: "I ask that you correct two misquo tations. First: You stated that I said to an Observer reporter "I gave Mr. McGirt a pistol I had." I would say that I have not yet admitted to an Observer reporter, or anyone else, that I had a pistol. . Secon: You say that I was placed in the csge because I declared that I could get out in spite of doora and locks. What I did say 'was that "at the time I escaped I would not have been much hindered if every door in the jail was locked," or words to that effect; and thia was said in exonera tion; of Mr. Pate. This does not im ply that I am now prepared to break out at a moment's notice, even if I de sired to, which I do not. After this statement was made, Sheriff Marsh agreed to allow me to stay in my cell on the second floor until Monday, and afterwards changed his mind, for an entirely different reason, I believe, and which 1 shall not undertake to ex plain.

ASKS TIME TO CONSIDER. Executive Committee of First Baptist Church Bronght Great Pressore to Bear Upon Bio Snnday Klght. A. C. U Clerks Petltioa Contrary to the opinion heretofore of many persona who had- every rea son to know, it now seems that there ia a possibility that the First Baptist church of Wilmington will be able to retain Dr. Black well as ita pastor. , ' At an Executive Com mitteetrneeUofi; of the congregation Sunday night, after the regular church - services which were largely attended, strong Dr. Blaekwell to remain. ile wae urged to withdraw the resignation tendered on Thursday night and ' the great and increasing work accomplish ed and being accomplished by him here was called forcibly to his atten tion. The unity of the church and his popularity with the young people of the city, irrespective of denomina tion, were urged as reasons why he should consent not to leave. A pe tition signed by ,164 Atlantic Coast Line clerks asking that he remain in the city was presented to him at the meeting. Dr. Blaekwell was visibly affected by that manifestation of ' the high esteem in i which he is held by those young men. Finally, after discussing the situa tion very thoroughly, Dr. Blaekwell consented to think over the matter of the withdrawal of his resignation and he said he would give the committee an answer before the next Sunday. In the meantime a strong committee from tbe Wilmington church will more than likely go to Norfolk and meet the committee from the First church of that city with a view of securing their withdrawal of the call. It will be ex plained to the Norfolk committee that Dr. Blaekwell has cemented the church 'membership here into such unison that it would be most unfortu nate, should he be taken way. It was expected that final action upon Dr. Black well's resignation would be taken at the regular congre gational meeting of the church last night, but such waa not the ease. The Executive Committee reported the re sult of Sunday night's conference and tbe ray of hope held out in Dr. Black well's promise to reconsider was most joyfully received by the congre. gallon. In making up his decision to leave Wilmington, a money consideration could not actuate Dr. Blaekwell aa tbe church here pays $1,800 salary, while the Norfolk church would pay only $3,000 and the increased cost of living in the latter city would more than make up the difference in favor of Wilmington. It is sincerely hoped that Dr. Blaekwell can feel that it is his duty to remain here. Reaewiof Old Acqaalataacea. Mr. and Mra. George G. Barker, of Wilmington, Del., and Mra. E. G. Barker, of Woburn, Mass., arrived In the city yesterday and will spend a few days here. They visited Wrighta viile and Ocean View In the after noon.
