A Foul Murder.

ST.. Louis, Nov. IA special to
the Post,Dispatch from Waco, Tex,
says: "News has reached here of an
extraordinary outrage at Temple,
twenty miles south of this place. A
colored woman named Wilson was
confined in the callaboose for carry.
ing concealed weapons. Before day
light yesterday man mysteriously
entered her cell. A brief scuffla,
followed by shots, was heard by the
guards, who rushed to the cell and
found the woman dead. The muir
derer made his escape.

Little Rock, Ark.

Herald Mansion.
The colored people are making
extraordinary advancements, not
only in the political field, but educa-
tionally, industriousIy and otherwise.
In fact nearly three fourths of all the
trade in the city is kept up by the
colored population. There are on
an average at this time Of the year
from 500 to 400 farmers trading
daily with the white merchants.
Saturdays are the busiest day. Not
less than 700 or 800 of our people
spend from three to four hundred
dollars every Saturday. During the
past week we noticed the number of
colored persons attending the public
amusements owned by the whites,
such as operas, theatres and Ministries,
to be at least 600. Yet they say we
do not contribute enough to public
amusements 10 demand the respect
that are due to their patrons. The
time is not far distant when the
colored population Of this city and
elsewhere will be solicited by special
invitation to attend places where
dollars and cents are required.

and Edward Kelly, majority inspec-
tor, of the polls in the 10th division,
of the Fifth Ward, at the recent cleo
lion, charged with having interfered
with the supervisor of election, Ed
ward B. Gallon, were yesterday ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Edmunds. 1t was con-
tended on behalf of the prosecution
that the defendants had refused to
permit Gallon to examine the ballots.
On the other hand it was argued that
the supervisor had no authority to
examine any ballots other than those
cast for Congressman. The question
being a mooted one, the Commissioner
dismissed the case

Facts About National Banks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14,-The charters
Of 721 national banks. with an aggregate
capital OF over s189, 600, 900, will expire
during the year 1885. This is more than
one.third of the entire number of ma
tional banks now in existence. From in
formation already received by the Comp
troller of the Currency it Is expected
that large majority Of these banks will
continue their existence, either by extend
ing their charters or by recognizing
under other titles. There are at present
more national banks in existence with a
larger aggregate capital than there ever
were before. The capital invested in ma
tional banks was increased about $40,
900, 600 during the year ending Septem'
Der 30, 1884.

THE INDUSTRIAL FAIR.

From Richmond Wing, October %, 1854.
As previously announced the col
ored peoples Industrial Fair opened
Monday and was attended during
Monday and yesterday by about 600
persons, many of whom were white,
and all were pleased with the splen-
did show made under great disad-
vantages On account of time. The
exposition is in old Trinity church,
now a hall, which has been tastetully
arranged and decorated, and almost
every department of industry is rep
resented, from the finest drawing and
needle work to the manufacture of
pottery and grinding of plaster.
On the lower floor is an exhibition

middle-aged Virginian will be de-
lighted with, and the pickles made
by some ones good old many" re-
mind one of auld lang syne when
such things were surreptitiously
taken by the youth of the land
from the filled closet more than
twenty-five years ago. The old col
ored ladies who do this work are
in the building quietly answering
questions to their methods of "bread
raising and picking, while not far
away are a number of colored per
sons manufacturing tobacco and
singing the old songs of the factory.
On the middle floor are many spe-
cimens Of the finest needle work
blended with art, some brilliantly
illuminated crazy quilts, drawings,
paintings, wood work (!ncluding
locomotive), to say nothing of the
display from the Hampton Normal
school, which is varied in character.
At night there is music and singing
from the stage.
The price of admission is only
twenty five cents, and the manage
ment deserves the kindest considera-
ton for their care in explaining
everything. Let the white people
in the city be sure to visit the hall.

dress, opened the Fair Monday

ton in regard to the Importation Of old
rags from European ports -.
eve, the undersigned, recognizing the
fact that there is great danger of the in
PRODUCTION of Asiatic cholera into the
United States through the medium of old
rags imported into the country and COM
ing from European ports, do hereby re.
spectfully suggest and urge upon you the
necessity for immediate and decisive &C
ton in reference thereto. We arc
prompted thus to appeal to you because
of the recent removal of restrictions on
the importation of old rags, and it is our
firm belief that this threatened danger
can only be averted by the most thorough
and systematic disinfecting of all old rags
coming from any and all European ports. !"

subject of cholera Immediately upon
its receipt DR.. Alfred Ludlow Carroll,
secretary and executive officer of the
State Board Of Health, issued the follow
ing: Local health officers and Boards
of Health are hereby apprised that the
rapid advance Of cholera in Europe
threatens the invasion of this country,
which may occur at any moment, andare
notified that the State Board of Health
expects rtrict performance of the duties
imposed upon them by law" He con-
tinues, enumerating their duties, and con.
cludes: "These duties are not dscre-
tionary with local boards Of health. The
law is mandatory, and evasion or neglect
will not be tolerated in the face of danger
which menaces a community. EXper-
fence has shown. that cholera poison does
not extend where no filth favors its null
tiplicalion, and that the only way to cor
rect its march is to remove all sources of
pollution ofsoil, air or water. In excre-
mental communications especially lies the
greatest risk, and all such conditions must
be at once removed.

Rev. j. B. Reeve, d. d., HOS
-Rodman street, thinks the principles
OF the republican party the best
around which the interests of the
American people have concentrated
or can concentrate, but this party
has not stood by the colored voter in
the political struggles of the past
eight years, As to the future, the
democratic party cannot continue
any respectable length of time upon
the principles of its past record. To
hold the reins Of government for any
considerable time the democratic
party must be more liberal, more
philanthropic and more correct than
the republican party; hence it cannot
either absolutely ignor nor crush the
negro. The republican party will
improve in quality by the lessons in
the case and by force of moral supe-
riority again relegate the democracy
to the rear in few years if it per-
sist in its old ways,
4. G. Howard, NJ. D., sos S. 10th
street, had not really conceded the
election to Cleveland, but in the
event it was conceded, believed that,
though the animus of thessold demo-
cratic life would be exercised against
the negro for time; if the democracy
remained in power long, it must do
so upon better principles than it has
ever yet evinCed.
Mr.. L. j. Bowers, the celebrated
tenor singer and poet, was found at
the same place. Mr.. Bowers be-
lieves that the republican party has
been remiss in its duties toward the
colored man, and that the republican
ADMINISTRATION UUguU IonS Iago ~
have seen to it that the solid South
was not sustained nor permitted at
the expense of dccency in respect to
political and moral principles; that the
duty Of the government now is to
see to it that the republican ticket be
not sacrificed to the fraudulent solid
South. He thinks the future of the
negro under democratic rule would
be very serious indeed.
DR.. 7. G. Steward thinks if the
Republican party has lost the cleo.
ton, it is but provideutiaI retribu-
ton for their indifference and pusil-
lanimity in dealing with the negro
vote in the Solid South and North.
They abandoned the Southern Re
publican vote to the bull-dozers, but
foughtto defend the white Republican
vote. Even now they have more
right to question the vote of Louis
lana and South Carolina than that of
New York, yet the former is con-
ceded and the latter contested. Since
1876 the Republicans have practi-
cally abandoned the men in the
South.
