| avoid any violation Of the law in his house
made the colored walters employed by him

mers in person. What they called for was
| served them, but some white customers
not liking the presence Of the colored men,
attacked them, and made things lively
with flying glasses, &c. The colOred adj
venturers were obliged to get away as rap
| idly as possible. The broken china and
| glassware was picked up by the atten-

stances. retired to his cashiers desk to
place the fractured crockery to the profit
and loss account. The second case occur
