CINCINNATI
A Case of Intolerance Among Col

ored Men.
CINCINNATI, August 10.-The Tabbs
Gross case OF yesterday has created much
talk here to-day. 1t is believed that
Gross was visited by number OF colored
citizens and warned TO leave the city, but
it is also believed that his story IS an ex.
'aggeration. He was resident here sew.
eral years ago and was very obnoxious to
many OF the colored people. 1t is SUP.
posed that the persons who visited him
were personal enemies. All efforts TO
tind out the parties, to-day, have been
iruitless. The colored men Of this city
have called a meeting for tomorrow
night, in behalf Of free speech,
They condemn the acts of what
they call irresponsible persons
IN the vicinity, but no evidence has been
developed that the white men had any.
thing to do in the matter. Gross smoke
in Covington tonight There were but
few colored people present, and the meet.
ing was not disturbed in the least The
police guarded Gross on his return 10 The
Clinton House in Covington. A number
OF police were stationed on the Kentucky
side OF the suspension bridge, with view
OF preventing colored men from going
over from this side. The feeling Of the
masses OF colored men here is one of
modification that the affair should have
occurred. -

railroad earnings in july from which
it appears that the month was seemingly
not quite as favorable for earnings on
several Of the older and more prominent
lines OF railroad as most OF the previous
month OF this year, but the twenty roads
reported show an aggregate increase for
the month Of $4S8,0O9. For the seven
months OF the year now passed, gross
earnings oi the twenty roads are geuer.
ally in excess Of last year, only two roads
in the list show any deprease The Cen!
trail Pacific, Erie and Lake Shore and
Michigon Southern are all conspicuous for
the large amount Of their increase; while
other roads show earnings which are
equally noticeable for the percentage Of
increase above last year, though less in
the gross amount than those Just named.
The total Of twenty roads for the seven
months of 1879 Is $59,7Ss,547, against
$Gi49SS,581 in 1871, an increase Of
