The Color Line I'M the schools.

PHILADELPHIA, June 11.-In view Of
the recent decision of the Hon. Pearson
Church, in the case of the Commonwealth
against the board of control of the schools
of Meadville, in which he decided that the
fourteenth amendment of the national
constitution must govern school directors
as well as other people, and the fact that
the State Legislature has repealed the act
of 1851, the subject of equality of the
races in the public schools assumes an in
teresting phase.
AS a new law relating to this subject
has also recently been passed, it is ,proba-
BILE that vigorous efforts will soon be made
to abolish the color line in all schools of
this city, and thus to break up to a great
extent the present system of sending col
ored children to schools exclusively devot-
ed to their Instruction.

A BRUTAL NEGRO.
A Terrible Assault Severely Pun


George johnson, the colored man who
excited the Indignation of the inhabitants
of the northern part of the city on the
night of Monday the 9th of June, by the
report of his fiendsh assault upon small
colored hoy, was brought to trial to-day.
The testimony of the victim and num-
Der OF workmen in the neighborhood makes
the story materially as published in the
CRITIC of Tuesday. A little colored boy,
named George Dixon, was playing with
some companions in sand pile in front of
housesat Ninth and M streets, which is
undergoing improvements. George John
son, the defendant, ordered the boys out,
and becoming enraged at their taunts
and replies, rushed across the street
to where the boys were playing, and they
ran as rapidly as possible to escape his re
venge.
johnson succeeded in catching little
Dixon, and, lifting him up as high as he
could, dashed him down upon the brick
pavement. The little boy lay senseless
and motionless, causing johnson to think
he was dead. Johnson's flight and cap
ture late In the evening by the police, as
well as the enraged crowds of people who
gathered In the vicinity, are things to be
remembered. To-day, after hearing all
the testimony, Judge Smell sentenced him
to imprisonment for II months and 90
days, as the law did not permit of an i'm.
prisonment of year under the circum-
stances. ..

The Needed Experiment.

LONDON, June 1.-THE Times of to.
day remarking on the growth of lawless
ness in Ireland says: One experiment
which is most obvious and most certain
to succeed remains untried. If one mob
of Fenians or Land Leaguers, OF
whatever title were just for once not
suffered to have its own way; If Its
appeal to force were met and overcome,
and If the mob were dispersed and forbid
den to reassemble, the consequence might
be happy in the extreme. One victory
of the law would be the signal
for others. The objections to such an ex-
pertinent are obvious, but not conclus i've.
The forcible dispersion of mob in Ire
land would certainly be followed by a
howl of execration from their parliamen-
tary friends and champions. The Irish
press, which is silent over injuries to the
police, would be eloquent in the case we
are now supposing; but the land league
would receive something very like its
death blow, and might itself fall into the
contempt with which the law is treated in
Ireland

What Ought to be Done.

The district attorney of Albany county
ought at once to "impound" In court the
package which is In the Speakers safe on
deposit from Mr.. Bradley, since the money
is the fruit of crime and when properly
condemned can be covered into the treas
ury OF the Overseers of the Poor. 1t is
the district attorneys duty also upon the
public charges OF bribery already made to
subpoena Assemblyman Bradley before a
grand jury or criminal magistrate and
at once begin a prosecution for bribery
without awaiting the action of the legis-
lature. 1t is not often that the district
attorney has to deal with bribery In the
"original PACKAGE" and he should make
the most OF the chance now put in his
way.-N Y. Tribune.

Wreck of n Norwegian Bark

MONTREAL, June 11.-News arrived
here yesterday morning of terrible
wreck on st. Paul Island, in the Gulf of
st. Lawrence, by which the whole crew of
the Norwegian bark Nettie Margrethe,
with the exception of five seamen, were
swept from their vessel and drowned. The
bark was commanded by Captain Freder-
ick Christophersen, of Lorwig, Norway,
and was bound from London to Mirami-
chi, New Brunswick.
She had had a moderately fair passage
and was within a day or two of making
port when she WAS caught in severe gale,
and, to make matters worse, her position
could not well be ascertained, owing to
the dense fog that prevailed On the
morning of the Sd inst. land was sighted
and breakers almost at the same moment,
when, with hardly moments warning,
the ship went crashing against the rocks
at some distance from the light-ship. She
hung there but a short time, during which
the second mate and four of the crew who
were upon the forecastle at the time es-
capped by jumping upon the rocks. Before
the remainder of the crew could escape the
bark slid into deeper water and went to
pieces In very few minutes. Those who
had escaped did what they could to secure
their mates, but 30 furious was the surf
and so dense the fog that they we're pow
erless to do anything. Capt. F. Christie
phersen, Cal Some, first officer; P. Mathe-
sean, ships carpenter; seamen Carl and
Reisen, and Edwards, the cabin boy, were
drowned. The survivors, after some diff
ficulty, made their way to Superintendent
Campbell, of the light house, who treated
them kindly and sent them 20 Sydney
Cape Breton, where they arrived yester-
day. The names of the survivors are not
yet given. -

Matchmaking In Jersey cItv,

Paul Philloche, Ocenti Pattan and Alex
ander Stubenski complained before Judge
Davis,in Jersey City, yesterday, that Chas.
L. Washburne, young lawyer, Robert 8.
Jarnowski and one Zeramba had conspired
to defraud them and had got over $40
from them by false pretenses. All the
men except Washburne are Swedes. The
complanants allege that they were taken
by man who represented himself to be
an officer before Justice Robert Duffy.
There they were told that they had
threatened the life of one Frank Ocske.
Washburne, Jarnowsky and Zeramba in
formed them that If they paid SIS each
they would be released. They handed
over all the money they had, which
amounted to S4l.20, and were allowed to
go. Justice Davis issued warrants for the
arrest of the accused. Justice Duffy, when
questioned last evening with regard to the
affair, said that he could not find the COM
plants on which the men were arrested,
and that no money had been taken from
the men in his presence or hearing.

The "Elevatedo Engineer

There is on each of the lines of elevated
railways in New York city one champion
engineer who is known among his fellows
as the man who can take train into a
station or out of 1t without shaking the
passengers very greatly. Some of the
engineers jerk the passengers heads to-
gether about three times when the train
is started. A very bad engineer has been
known to send man who Is reading
the San over into the lap Of
the man who is reading the World
two seats away, and fairly good
engineer is proud If he only carroms a
mans head on his neighbours head once
at each station. An engineer on the
Third avenue line says that on rainy
morning he has no trouble in starting his
engine. Another says that the engines
are too light for heavy trains. Still an
other says that an engineer who is not
nervous or careless has no excuse for peg
ging away at the throttle as If he were
pumping beer.

Suicide OF an Old Soldier This Alter

The neighborhood of Sixth and o streets

Peter G, Meff, who has been living for a
long time at No. 634 o street northwest,
was found lying dead in his bed, and
with beer bottle, partly full of lauda-
mum, alongside of him. The man was an
old soldier, and living alone, he was sup
posed to have become very lonesome and
dlsconsolate. Becoming tired of life, he
had written numerous letters to his friends
telling them of his intended suicide, which
were lying in the room at the time he
was discovered. The case attracts a great
deal of sympathy and interest, but the
particular or immediate cause of his
death will not be revealed, unless the
Coroner disperses many clouds of doubt
that hang around the latter part and sad
