Trouble About the Color Line.

Theresa w. b. King, colored girl,
was refused admission to p lbli C school
No. ., of Brooklyn, and directed to at
tend colored school, No. 1. She applied
for writ of mandamus to compel Prin.
cipal Gallagher to admit her to No. &.
Chief Justice Nelson, of the City Court
of Brooklyn, refused the writ. The
general term of the City Court affirmed
that decision. Yesterday the Court of
Appeals affirmed the lower Courts.
Two points were argued-that the ex-
clusion was in violation of the Four
teenth Amendment 70 the Constitution
of the United States, and that it was
opposed to the Civil Rights act of New
York State. For the defence it was
claimed that equal facilities for the edu-
cation of the child were afforded in the
colored schools, and consequently there
was no discrimination against her.
In the Junction school district, near
Rosedale, Wyandotte county, Missouri,
there has been dissatisfaction over the
admission of two children Of Sterrett
Hawyer, a coloIed man. On Saturday
evening u pr Y IF ,evsn nan visited

take an oath that he would remove his
children from the school. The house
of the chief school director, Frank Hal.
singer, was then visited. hut he fired a
pistol at the men and they retreated,
after exchanging a number of shots.
On Monday niglt four young men were
arrested on suspicion of complicit Y in
the affair.

A Mysterious A flair.

About one year ago Frank Leonard,
left this city to work in Philadelphia;
leaving his wife with child, that was
at that time about one year of age, with
her father, ex.policeman Sherry. For
the first year of their marriage he had
been steady and industrious, but like
many other young men he had kept too
much company, and contracted intem-
perate habits. This it is supposed was
the principal cause Of his leaving his
wife and child In the manner he did,
and he never wrote to her after his de.
parture.
Last evening she received word that
he had left Philadelphia on the 9th Of
September on a vessel bound for South
America, and that when the vessel
reached the Breakwater he aud two
others were missing. AS 1t Is said the
whole party were intoxicated, it is sup.
posed they fell overheard and were
drowned.

A Mile I'm 2.l0.

CHICAGO, October 9..-The great
event Of the day at the Driving Park
WAS the beating Of all previous trotting
and pacing records by the Young PAGER
Johnston. The horse got warmed up
In 2.22%, and on second trial paced,
without break or skip, In exactly 2.1O,
thereby making the fastest harness re-
cord ever known. This remarkable
feat evoked the widest enthusiasm
among the spectators at the track, and
particularly among the horsemen who
had their watches on him. The horse
made fine start, and did his first
quarter In 32As. without skip. The
half-mile post was passed In 1.03H and
the three quarter pole in 1856. His
driver, then, as though knowing how
close he was to the best time, touched
the young animal with the whip. The
effect was noticeable to every close OBJ
server and while the PAGER showed an
accelerating and straining movement
he maintained remarkable steadiness
and passed under the wire with tre-
mendous swing, but moving as evenly
m q locomotive. Horsemen claimed
for him 2.0924, which was the time one
Of the judges credited him with but in
order TO be sure, the even figures were

The Top O. The Morning.

There was but a small audience at the
Opera House last evening to witness
John Il. Ward in the drama entitled

is not by any means an Irish drama,

impression were disappointed. Mr..

and brought down the house. Little

actress that ever appeared in this city,

would have reflected credit on an older
person. Mary Davenport performed
her twin characters in q first class man.

emotions of sorrow and despair In the

Ward is % very pleasing actress, and

were as good az the average, and taken
altogether were deserving of much
