TROUBLE AT KNOXVILLE.
Civil Rights Enforced by a
Mob.
Two Hundred Negroes Surround
Ladies' Car and Insist
ON Admission.
Knoxville Tribune, 80.

Yesterday evening before the 4:47
train came in, about 200 negro men
congregated at the car shed. In a
short time, the people knew their
purpose since they asserted that they
intended to teach the railrod authori-
ties lesson about negroes riding in a
first class car.
In a few minutes toe train rolled
under the shed and this mob gathered
around the door. 1t was with some
difficulty that Conductor Bell kept
them aside until the passengers got off
the train. One negro man and two
women rushed and got in the ladies
car and as soon as possible Conductor
Bell closed and locked the door. By
that time half dozen negro men
mounted the platform, backed up by
this compact mob, and demanded en-.
trance OF that the door be opened.
Conductor Moore, with Policemen
Kinzell and Davis, arrived about this
time and attempted to make them
either take another car or leave the
platform.
The crowd, with unearthly yells
and at the top of their voices, told
these men to stand their ground and
they would back them. These officers
succeeded, with great deal of diff
ficulty, in putting some Of the men off
the platform.
The crowd was too large for so few
men to control, and Major Huger was
sent for. He arrived in few minutes
and at first the crowd gave way, He
seized one OF the negroes aud told him
to take the other car or get off the
platform or he would put him of.
This the fellow refused to do and he
was showed into the other car door,
but soon came out, All this time
these men were agged On by the
crowd which had gathered around as
close as possible.
Policeman Kinzell put his hand on
his pistol as if to draw it, and for a
few seconds the crowd scattered, but
came back with more seeming intent
than before. One negro man asked
Major Hugor to let him in, since his
sister was in that ear, and his request
was granted.
Major Huger gave instructions for
them not TO allow one certain negro in
that car, and the train moved of with
him standing on the platform, swear
ing that he would get in, but had not
at latest intelligence. The crowd
which stood around had come there,
as they stated, to see this done, and
gave yell when the car started, say
ing that they had gained victory.
Something similar to this occurred
last Wednesday evening, when some
negroes stood on the platform until
the door was opened for some white
ladies to enter the car, and the negroes
rushed In.

EDITOR AGE-DEAR SIR 1T is well
known that the people of this place had
very fierce controversy, n little more
than II year ago, in regard to the APP
pointment Of postmaster at this place,
the contestants being M. L. Wilkins
and r. II. Kingsley. 1t is also well
known that certain man in this place
espoused the cause of Mr.. Wilkins
with a good deal of zeal, so much so
that he wrote letter to representative
Tyler urging the appointment of Mr..
Wilkins. 1t is also well known that
this very consistent man cat his own
words, and as many said at the time
sold himself, body and soul, for the
priceless boon of promise to be made
u candidate for town representative at
the next election. 1t is now under
stood that this mans name is to be put
forward and the freemen of this town
asked to give him their votes as re-
ward for his treachery. | hardly think
the man can be elected this fall, for
we have many ADLER and better men.
His support in this part of the town
would be very small indeed-many say
they would sooner vote for tax dodg-
err than him.

friends how they would like to be rep
resented in the legislature by this man
