CHILDREN KNOCKED DOWN.
A Big Negro Girl Assaults Two Little
Children in Front of Their Home.

A Big Negro Girl Assaults Two Little
Children in Front of Their Home.
negro girl about IA or Is years old
made a most brutal assault yesterday upon
two little children of Mrs. Joseph Hull, re-
siding at 1G0 Harris street, and aged re-
spectively and 9 years. The negro knocked
the little ones down right in front of their
home Mrs. Hull rushed out and seized the
assailant, but was unable to hold her and
there being no policeman about the brute
escaped.
! 1t is getting to be quite frequent occur
renee for large negro boys and girls to as
sault small white children, when they think
1t can be done with safety. A case similar
TO that which occurred yesterday was re-
ported a few weeks ago, when big negro
girl struck a little white child i'm the face
with a stick because the child refused to an
swer question. The remedy for these out
RACES, and for others, such as brickbatting
in the streets, is few detectives in citi-
zens' dress. The arrest and punishment of
one or two such miscreants will tend to stop
these assaults.

DOUGLASS WILL NOT COME.

He Declines the Central Republican
Clubs Invitation TO Visit Savannah.
The colored folks of Savannah are badly
disappointed all around. They made an
earnest effort to get ex-senator Bruce to
come here at the negro Baptist centennial
next June, and he has unequivocally de-
clined the invitation. Then they arranged
to get up big meeting for ex-Minister to
Liberia Taylor to address, and ne went off
without delivering the promised lecture,
and now they have failed to lasso Fred
Douglass, although the distinguished ex-
Recorder of Deeds was in the neighborhood
of Charleston, lis miles away. They are
very deeply disappointed, because they had
intended to have given him an ovation.
The following dispatch received yester-
day in answer to the one published in yes
terday's MORNING NEWS settled the matter
beyond peradventure:
CHARLESTON, 5. c., March 5. 1888.
