tn EYES AND THUGS.
A Mn Held Up Oh Main Street and
His Pockets RlflGj.
Another Victim Claims to Have
Lost His Roll,
Several Arrested on Suspicion

A man named j. r.. Crouch, was held
up and robbed on Main street about l
o'clock yesterday morning. He had been
in the saloon formerly kept by Capt.
Russell on Broadway near Seventh
street, and on leaving there went up to
Main street and down Main street to
near Gregory's blacksmith shop, where
he was attacked, thrown down on the
sidewalk, and after a struggle was
relieved of what money he had, about
8 800. He noticed two men follow him
out Of the saloon, and was quite certain
that they were the oneB who robbed
him. From the description given
of them. Officers Cusick and O'Brien
Yesterday arrested two fellows, who gave
their names as Tom Howard and Frank
Clifford. Howard was charged with the
robbery and Clifford as an accomplish.
Howard had S5.25 on his person, and the
other had no money. They will have a
hearing to-day. The man who was
robbed ia a farm hand. He did not re.
ceive any serious injury, but his clothing
is badly torn.
MISSED HIS MONEY.
A man named FosB complained Yester-
day that he had been robbed of $40. IL
appears that Saturday night he was in a
condition where he required help to get
to bed, and his son and Mike Kildare,
we'll known to the police, are said to
have put him in his little couch. Foss
on waking found two $50 bills gone from
his pocket. Kildare was taken into Gus.
tody yesterday, and the police are work
ing at the case to see if they can get more
light upon it.
A MIDNIGHT PRowLER.
About l o'clock yesterday morning 7.
M. Pryor, of THE BEE Office, living at
No. 919 Sixth avonue, was aroused from
and heard somebody apparently
working at the kitchen door. lie went
there, and called out "Who is there2"
There was silence for a moment, and in
response to another more sharply put
luery, the prowler replied that he want
ed to find the way to Dale's barn. He
not wait for any great urging to 60,
but quickly skipped out, the marks of
his feet showing that he had taken across
lots in his haste to get "to Dale's barn"
Or somewhere else. Pryor had nj gun
him, but has now arrayed himself
like a walking arsenal, this being the sec
ond visit made to his house. IL another
one comes Pryor will doubtless get that
$50 reward offered by the mayor.

THE RIACHUELO..

The Oregon made 472 miles during one
day of her famous trip from Queenstown
to Sandy Hook last month, or an average
of exactly 10 2-3 miles an hour. The
Dolphin, the dispatch. boat recently
launched by Mr.. Roach, is to have a
speed of only Is knots an hour, and no
intimation is given that either the Chi
cago, the Boston or the Atlanta will
have greater speed. How can our new
steel cruisers act as commerce destroy
ers" when the Atlantic already has a
large feet of steamships which are ex-
pected to make at least II knots an
hour? The Brazilian Government is
building a cruiser which is described as
in many respects the finest man-of-war
in the world. The Riachuelo can steam
III knots an hour, and can carry coal
enough to take her across the Atlantic,
while her cost will not much, if at all,
exceed the $3.50, 900 our Government has
contracted to pay Mr.. Roach for the
Chicago, a cruiser which, as now planned,
cannot cross the Atlantic without coal
ing. The Riachuelo carries guns which,
with her great speed, will probably
make her more feared than any Other
man-of.war aioat. and the verdict of the
people of the United States will be thai
it is folly to build cruisers for our navy
which will have less speed. Our new
steel cruisers should have at least &
speed of 20 knots an hour, which would
be only a trihe more than % statute
miles an hour. The Mary Powell has {
record on the Hudson river Of 100 miles
in four hours, and it is said that sh'
made nearly 80 miles during one hour o
the run. 1t ought not to be difficult t.
build steel cruisers for our navy to g
% knots an hour if a river steamboat car
make that time.

It seems now most likely that this
calamity is one of the first fruits of run.

Newfoundland. In a season Of excep.

ocean area liable to heavy fog extends
from the Newfoundland coast northeast

TuE NEGROES WILL BOLT.

Certain Northern Republican journals
have been very severe in their structures
of Southern Democrats for drawing the
.scolor line." Now the colored Republl'
caus all over the South are drawing the
color line, saying that the carpet-baggers
from the "Norf" must 60. What, the
San Francisco Exchange asks, will the
Post say to the new movement? The
colored brother says that he is not treat
ed with as much consideration by the
average Republican as he is by the
Southern Democrat; they are tired OF
having men hold Office at their expense
who don't recognize them except as
voters. They claim that they can get as
much cheap whisky and as many cheap
cigars from the Democrats as from Re-
publicans on election day, and that this
is all they get. The Republican party
never made any effort to build itself up
with the respectable white element In
the South, but relied upon keeping the
negro solid by abortive attempts to ele'
waiting him socially above the whites and
by appealing to his prejudices. They
tried to force intelligence to submit to
the rule of ignorance. This abnormal
political condition couldn't exist any
longer han supported by white force
Now the negro rises up, and with the
facts and figures to prove it says he has
been made a cats paw Of by dandy car
pet.baggers, and that they can run the
machine without their white brethren.
Thus chickens come home to roost, and
the Post ct id omne genus can now write
editorials on the New Color Line" The
darkey is getting politically cunning, and
savs he wants less tafy and more office
he wants fewer soft words and more hard
cash. He wants social equality from the
Federal ofice.holder. The Republican
party sacrificed the white people OF the
South to catch the negro. What next :?

struck, and the men In two OF the four

protect the mill and laborers. The striking
aborers at Cutler & Savage's asked for q
conference with the firm. The company
was firm In refusing to restore wages, say
ing they would keep the mills shut down
rather than yield. The men then set fire to
Cutters yard, hut the flames were extin-
guished.
Over 100 men advanced on White &
Friants mill. and were met by the pro-
prietors at the head Of their new gang Of
workmen, who swore loyalty TO their em-
ployers. The strikers carried red flag
and were armed with various weapons.
They were cowed and SUNK away before
the determined attitude OF the employees.
but promised TO return and wreak their
vengeance on the mili-owners' property.
Fearing violence, an extra large number OF
deputies were sworn in by the sheriff.

A West Chester special OF Tuesday says :
This morning about O'Clock young man
named John Lackey, living with Frank
Green as farm hand. near this borough,
in West Goshen township, shot himself in
the forehead with revolver. He died
about II O'Clock. lie had been mclan-
choly for several days. On Sunday eve
ming he visited Fannie Diem, chamber
maid at the Eagle Hotel. this borough, to
whom he had been paying attention. He
proposed that their marriage should take
place that evening, but she declined. The
refusal agitated Lackey very much, and
he said that she would regret her decision
before the week was out. Last night the
Green family heard him restlessIy moving
about his room, bu. they hid no suspicion
OF his intentions. The deed was COM
mltted in the yard, and when found the
victim was unconscious. He was about
twenty-fOur years OF age.
