NEGRO EXCITEMENT IN LOUISVILLE
There were many attempts made on
Saturday in Louisville, KY, by negroes in
various parts of the city to ride in the
ho-ee ee-~, ouueio.s oonsiaerebie excite
ment, and the result was a subject o.
much anxious discussion, AS there is res
son to apprehend serious trouble, uules,
the matter is wisely AID firmly managed
To several Instances negroes were elected
from care, and in one instance a negro
was thrown from car window. In an.
other instance some newsboys attacked an
offending African and were beating him,
when the police interfered, but the boys
mingled with the crowd and escaped. A
crowd gathered on each occasion, threat
ening a riot Moro than once a car was
given up to negroes, and they rode away
exulting, and amid the waving of hand
kerchiefs and applause by spectators OF
their own race.
MURDER OF A MINISTER IN CHURCH.
An Arkansas paper gives the outlines
of a tragedy thus: A few years ago q
minister in Sebastian county, Arkansas,
was compelled publicly to rebuke young
man for misconduct in church. The
young man soon after went to Texas
where he remained until a few weeks
ago, when he returned to Sebastian coun-
ty. Visiting the church, he found the
minister engaged in preaching. After
the minister came down from the pulpit,
the man stepped up to him and inquired
if he was the same one who had rebuked
him on the former occasion On receiv-
ing an affirmative answer, he drew a der
ringer and shot the minister in two
places, killing him instantly. .
