LOUISVILLE.
The Negro Raid on the Street
Cars.
Intense Excite ment - Serious
ApprehensiOns.

Scenes and Incidents of v Yesterday.
LOUISVILLE, May 12.-Many attempts
by negroes of different parts of the city
to-day TO ride in the street cars created
considerable excitement, and is the cub
iect of much anxious discussion. SeTi-
Gus trouble is feared unless the matter is
wisely and firmly managed. In several
cases to-day negroes were forcibly en-
jected from the cars, and in one case a negro
was thrown from the window Of the car.
In another, the newsbOys attacked the
offending African and were beating him
when the police interfered, end the boys
mingled with the crowd and escaped &.
Crowds gathered on every occasion and a
riot was eminent more than once. When
ever car was given up 10 the negroes
they rode on exulting amid the waving of
handkerchiefs and applause of spectators
of their race.
The affair is evidently prearranged aud
has created intense feeling in the com
munity. 1t is suggested that the city
Railroad Companies furnish special cars
foI the negroes as the best way at this
time TO avoid trouble. That course will
probably be taken on most roads.

WHILE the English Lords are putting
hard questions to Gladstone about the
provisions of the Alabama claims treaty,
our Senators in Washington are worried
over its premature publication in the New

committee of investigation. 1t seems
that no English paper, not even the Times,
has had the enterprise to have the treaty
telegraphed from New York. Even

retire all the floating debt in this country,
and thus enable Superintendent Stanton
TO pay off the parties pressing the road
into bankruptcy. A large amount of
stock and bonds were subscribed in this
way to-day. A petition was also circu-
lated and signed by the representatives
of half million of the floating debt, re-
questing the dismissal of the suit in
bankruptcy. The heavy rains of the
week past will delay the completion of

ring was pitched yesterday at Hay Creek,
9 miles from Port Dover, Canada. Two
thousand people attended. Barney Aaron,
Master of Ceremonies; J. Cussick aud
Jerry Donovan, Mace's seconds; Billy
Dwyer and Oney Groghan. Coburn's;
Dick Hollywood, of Indianapolis, referee.
Even on Mace was offered ard Tot taken.
Mace won the choice. Both were in fine
condition, AMI there was not five poundc
difference in their weight Both toed the
scratch at twelve. CObu-n slowly backed
to his corner, Mace not following lar.
This was repeated nine times, C0burn ev-
identity seeking to draw Mace Tito the
corner where his (COburn's) mob gather
ed. These maneuVres for a foul advant-
age occupied an hour aud twelve min
utes, when Judge Wilson aud Edmund
Deeds, Sheriff of Norfolk county, ap
peared with about go militia, armed with
loaded rifles. The Judge read the Riot
Act aud ordered the crowd TO disperse,
which it did. Some thief in the crowd
stole the Judges watch. The sympathy
of the crowd is decidedly with Mace, and
bets were freely offered that Coburn will
never dare TO meet him in the ring, but
they were not taken. The referee has
decided that the fight shall come off
three weeks from to-day at Kansas City,
Missouri.

in The ring yesterday is stigmatized by his
friends even as cowardly. Mace says he
wanted to fight, but dared not go into

make visit to the course pleasant and

for the accommodation of the trainers
and horses. A new impetus has been
given to racing in the Southwest by this
Association, which is manifest by the

number which are already at the course.
Indeed, they have had no races
