CHARLESTON. March IA negro boy
named Charles Northrop was sent 70 JAN
to-day Tor attempting to assault a little
white girl. The details Of the atair Will
not bear publication. As matter OF fact
the negroes OF Charleston are becoming
very outrageous. and unless the law VIII
undertake TO DO some hanging very soon
there will probably be some extra judicial
executions. Scarcely a Gay passes but
one or more cases OF outrageous brutal
ity are reported. The offenders are
generally half-groWn negro men,
to assault white children whenever they
can do so without fear Of beng captured.
On sunday afternoon ! saw two half
grow a HegrOes rush up 70 the rear plat
form OF street car on which several
white children were standing and knock
two OF the children down wiki the clubs
they mad in their hands. The assault was
committed while the car was in motion,
and seemed to have been done in mean
spirit OF WantOnness. Before the car
could be stopped they had disappeared.
A white man named Isaac Jones fell
from a third floor window IN the Planter
hotel last night and was instantly killed.
de was intoxicated at the time Of the &C
cident
Since the recent successful strikes Of
the street car drivers and conductors
North and West, there is some talk OF a
strike here. There are two city railway
companies, whose tracks cover about 20
miles Of street, and who employ about 200
drivers. The men get $40 per week, and
work about is hours a day. There IS
some talk Of strike for 81 per day Of II
hours, but it is very doubtful if any such
movement would succeed, as the city is
filed with unemployed men who would
readily take the places OF the strikers.
