[Hunday Star.]
Yesterday afternoon Mr. George W. Hum
phry, exchange editor of Every Evening ,
opened bids for a dwelling house and
awarded the contracts for bui' ding the same
to Peter U. Furry, the lowest bidder. The
building of the house will be proceeded with
at once, with a view of having it completed
betöre cold weather sets In. It will be
located on the west side of Rodney street
between Second and Third,
commanding a fine view of the city and the
Delaware river, and will be ol brick, 20 feet
6 inches front by 45 feet deep, with a shed
kitchen in the rear, bath room, gas, hot and
cohl water, etc. The main building will be
three stories h gh, the third story being
under a mansard root. A tower, 10
feet in diameter, runs up the front to
a height oi three or four feel above the sum
mit of the roof, bo arranged as to form
roomy bay windows for each story. This
tower will be surmounted by au astronomi
cal observatory, in which the "Judge" will
mount his six and a half-inch Bra«hear re
flecting (elescope. The building will con
tain nine rooms, besides the bath rooir and
shed kitchen. The upper room of the tower
Mr. Humphrey will fit up for his library and
smoking room, au important part of the
furnishing being a divan, upon wbich he
hopes to find time to recline for a few mo
ments occasionally in the laziest of attitudes.
The lot upo«> which the bouse will stand has
a front ol 51 feet on Rodney street, giving
ample room for a good side yard, aud, al
together, the "Judge" expects to be pretty
comfortably fixed when he gets into his new
residence.

THE "BK?» QUARTERLY.
THE COLORED PEOPLES AN
NUAL JUBILEE.
SCENES ALONG FRENCH STREET.
A Large Number of Visitors -How They
Looked and How the Day wan Spent—
The Sendees
"Bless the Lord, they're all here," said an
old colored man in iront of the African
Union M. K. Church yesterday, and it really
looked as though all the dusky inhabitants
of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Muryland and
New Jersey bad congregated on French
street between the creeks. Both sides of the
street were packed with the colored people
who had come to take part in "Big Quar
terly." They had come from every direc
tion, by steamboats and traies, until about
5,000 strangers had arrived. The steamers
Delaware, Edwin Forrest, Major Keybold,
Susie McCall, Wilmington and Felton
brought large crowds from Philadel
phia, Salem, Delaware City, New Castle,
and Chester. The P. W. & B. and Delaware
Western trains both brought large crowds
from various points. Fully two or three
thousand more would have been on band
from lower Delaware and Maryland but the
railroad company refused to run trains on
that road on account of the trouble on the
train two years ago.
Upon the arrival of the trains and boats
the objective point was the little African
Union Church on the west side of French
street below Ninth. All manner oi vehicles
were here to convey there who wished to
ride. The wagons were of various colors,
shapes and conditions. From the fancy
co 1 led omnibus to the old dearborn with
its ouard seals. One attracted considerable
attention, ii was devoid oi springs and the
curtain was t* rn Id several places. On the
sides was chalked the sign "hacks fur the
church." In place of seats were four or five
ropes drawn
The horse looked as if he had
limes and on his right rump bore the brand
"U. S.,"a tell-tale of his age. An old darkey
of about (55 winters was iu charge, and the
team excelled the famous "one-horse shay,"
lor it looked as it would all come apart at one
and the same time, horse, driver wagon
and all.
The scenes on the street were interesting
and in some cases amusing. The dress of
the crowd attracted the most attention. In
a large number of cases both the men and
women were dressed neatly ai d stylishly,
but the. large majority were got. up regard
less. Justice could not be given to the pic
turesque and many colored costumes that
drere worn by some of the dusky damsels.
Among the men more tasLe was displayed,
but some of the older ones wore suits that
would discount a Carneross or a Wilson.
Here ami there could be seen a dusky belle
aud her beau, and their utter disregard ol
of the critical eyes of others was supreme.
Ills attentions to her, his politeness, and hi*
dignity when he met one ot his ordinary ac
quaintances. was calculated to awakeu ad
miration aud wonderment iu the looker-on.
All the day French street was lined with
booths and stands in alleyways and houses,
where uumoers of enterprising colored
women and meu were feeding their hungry
customers, who came iu lively style all day.
At the church the crowd was immense,
ruuniug out to the middle of the street, aud
It was impossible for one to make his way
through. Entering from King street a large
tent about 30 by ÖÜ feet was erected. This
was packed aud exercises were held In both
this aud the church three times during the
day. At intermissions they would form
circles of about 12 or 15 witb oue In the
middle who was generally the new convert.
Here they sung and shouted, rocked from
side to si te, aud clapped their bands in re
gular time. Great l>eads of perspiration
rolled down their laces but they
all seemed incapable of exhaustion.
TTieir Bongs seemed to have an unlimited
number oi verses. They would continue
this way for about an hour, when some
"brother'' would start a prayer and the ex
cltement would become iutense. At
Mine during the day three of these gather
ings in the yard and two iu the church were
in lull blast.
About 3 o'clock the crowds commenced
to go and before 7 the crowd was pretty
well cleaned out.
This peculiar religious event originated in
a small way about 70 yearB ago. At that
time there were no colored churches here,
1 ihe members around the neighbor
hood formed a society without regard to
denomination and called it a Union of
Africans. From this was termed the church
before mentioned, aud at the establishing o!
the church, It w as decided to have four
meetings a year of the congregation. Oue
of these was determined upon as being the
anuual Conference aud fixed for the last
Sunday iu August. At this meeting the
ministers,deacons aud trustees were to meet,
look after the tiuauciai and spirit
ual welfare of the people and
endeavor to secure converts to the
church. This movement grew In popularity
and for the last 15 years Immense crowds
have attended.

tue Gazette.— There
was a considerable Increase in the cumber
of deaths, last
drowning, two deaths from diphtheria, two
from typhoid fever and one from malarial
fever. Some cause can be given for the
deaths from the three diseases mentioned,
the question is could they have been pre
vented ?
At present the sewers in our cltv are what
might be termed death-traps Numerous
complainte have been made to this depart
ment of the stench arresting from Shipley
run sewer. Mr. B. Beste, residing on Ninth
street between Jefferson and Mrabop, says
his properity is ruined by the g. ® ., -2-ojn
the sewer. He has petitioned Council but
effect. The danger Is Increased by cess
pools being continually drained Into the
sewer by permission of Couucll
tion of the ordinance. Staulcup run sewer
Is in the stone condition, and the residents
have no redress. The nuisances are being
increased from day to day instead of an ef
fort being made by the authorities to dimin
ish or abate them. The time is not far dis
tant when our people will awake from their
slumbering disinterestedness by being
called upon by our courts to
give those wlioare justly aggrieved, re
lief. But who will bear the res[>onBiblllty
for I he deaths emanating from this neglect ?
The Board oi Health ? No; they are power
less iu this matter of regulating the sewers
in this city. The ordinances are being vio
lated every day, and by whom ? The time
will soon come when more attention will be
given to the sanitary condition of our city.
These nuisances must be abated. Our city
is growing rapidly, and the longer this mat
ter is neglected, the more It will cost when
we are compelled to abate them.
There are other sink holes in our midst,
which contalu the germs of disease, such as
streets that no person or persons own, filthy
alleys on every hand, and the air
polluted with the vile odors
lrom overflowed cesspools, dirty
gutters and stagnant ponds of water
in various parts of our city. The Board of
Health is doing all in its power to give the
people relief, but raauy rebel against its
authority, ami suffer themselves to be
brought before the Municipal Court, as viola
tors of law, and having no regard lor the
authority vested in our Bourd of Health,
whose sole Object is to give our people a
healthy e.iiy, and the comforts ol happy
homes. A Board oi Health in a city with

A THOUSAND MARISES.
GREAT FAMILY RE U Nl ON NEAR
MORTON, PA.
A DISTINGUISHED GATHERING.
George Maris' Descendants Celebrate the
Two Hundredth Anniversary of His
Landing In This Country.
[ Philadelphia Record, Sunday. J
One thousand descendants of George Maris
assembled yesterday in the Maris home
stead to celebrate the 200th anniversary of
the settlement of George Maris at that place.
It is three miles north of Morton, on the
West Chester Railroad, and Is now In the
possession of Mr. Joseph Maris. The house
which the ancestor built has long since
passed away, and on its site is a
quiet, quaint stone structure, two and
a half stories high, which was erected by the
old man's grandson iu 1772. George Marls,
the pioneer, left England In 1683 and settled
iu Chester couuty, and a spring on his farm
gave the name to the village of Springfield,»
mile away.
The grove In which yesterday's reunion
was held is about four acres in extent, near
the old homestead, and here
and every comfort were arranged for the
great assemblage. A large speaker's plat
form, capable of seating 500 people, flauked
one side of the grove, and in front of the
stand a graceful arch, tastefully decorated,
was erected.
A large number of the old family descend
ants arrived before dinner, and hundreds of
the family and invited guests took the noon
day meal in true picnic style. There were
many children in the company.
In the afterno n,wben the throng had been
augmented until 4 1 exceeded a thousand,
everybody repaired to the grand stand,
where the following organization was

A conspicuous feature of the occasion was
a collection of souvenirs of the early mem
bers of the Maris family. In this was an
old chair,which had belonged to the original
George Maris, and was brought from
land. It is
primitive in its general style and workman
ship, there being no nails employed in Its
construction—wooden pins being used.
There was another chair,
Elizabeth J. West, o f this city, which once
did service in the parlor of Caleb Marls,
who was the pioneer Maris in Chester
county. He resided in Williston township,
where he took up his home in 1744.
There were deeds, marriage, certificates,
wedding gowns, etc., in the collection. The
oldest descendant, Eliza Pennington, of
Harveysburg, Ohio, who is98 years old, was
not able to make the trip, but sent her pho
tograph, and also sent a pewter pie plate,
two feet in diameter which had belonged to
a grandson of the pioneer.
