The WAGNER PALACE CARs.-0n Monday
last, the proprietors of the Wagner palace
cars made change in their management
on the line between St. Adams aud New
York. 1t has been the custom to have the
cars conducted by colored men, but the two
who have been well known on this route
were discharged, and their places filled by
Mr.. Mooney and Frank Newton, who will
hereafter run the cars. Evidently the Wag-
ner folks don't believe in negro equality.
and consequently banker not after the
civil rights bill.
