At negro meeting in Washington last
week the subject of the great preponderance
of negro over white crime in that city was
discussed. 1t was stated that though there
was only one white to three colored people
in that city, there were nearly four colored
people to one white convict there. Three
fourths of the time of the Police and Grim
inal Courts are occupied in trying cases of
colored people charged with crime and but
a small proportion of them escape cOnvic-
ton. II must be borne in mind, too, that
in the L. 5. Court there blacks as well as
whites are the jurymen that find these YER
diets. The truth is Washington has an
undue proportion of thriftless, shiftless, do
nothing negro population, and many OF
them steal rather than starve, and commit
crime of darker hue rather than work.
And the younger ones growing up are rich
in lessons that tend to guilt This crowd
ing of the National Capital by colored folks
is a growing evil. \ few who 90 there
from the country prosper, but they are the
exceptions

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
The Floor Of q Crowded Hail Gives
Way,
Precipitating Hundreds Of People . Dis
tance Of Twenty Fect-several Dead
Taken from the Ruins-several
Seriously Wounded.

BKLLEFoNrArSE, o., April 27.-A terrible
accident occurred at Rushsylvania, nine
miles east of here, on the g., G., c. and I.
railway. tonight. A school exhibition
was in progress at Brockerman's Hall, situ-
ated in the second story of brick build
ing. The hall seats about four hundred and
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
Suddenly, without the slightest warn
ing, the floor gave way with fright
full crash. It appeared to sink In
the center funnel shaped, and the
entire audience went down in surging
mass to the ground, distance Of twenty
or twenty-five feet. As is usual on such
occasions, many women and children
were present, and their shrieks as they
were precipitated with the crashing tim.
bers were heartrending. Every public
conveyance in town has been pressed into
service, and physicians and help have
responded to the appeals fol. aid in the
greatest haste. Mrs. Jennie Alexander, Q
daughter of Frank Stewart, Mrs. Wright,
Harvey Selders, justice of the peace, and
one other woman, whose name 1t 10 at
present unable to ascertain, have been
taken out dead, and at least fifty are
wounded, many Of them badly. The fact
that the walls did not fall in proved q
blessing. Many more would have been
killed outright had that occurred.
Quite number of ladies and
children were taken out, some Of
them unhurt, with their clothing torn
completely of them. Later.-As far a.
can be ascertained, the killed are as fol-
lows Rev. ]. E. Alexander's wife, Miss
Stewart and Miss Garwood. Crippled: |:
Harvey selders, both legs broken and one
arm, with other injuries, James johnson,
badly hurt; was taken home insensible.
Mrs. Frank McCulloch, badly hurt.
Mrs. Drumm is supposed to be dying. At
present Mrs. Wait Wright Is not expected
to live. Walker Lewis, one leg broken
Mrs. VIM. Mccullough, badly hurt. A Little
babe Of Mrs. Coombs, badly hurt. Judge
Selders' two children, of Ridgeway, badly
hurt. Many others are hurt, but it will
be impossible to fully tell the result until
morning.

r True BLESSING

TO suffering humanity would fol.
low a discontinuance of the
habit Of using cathartic pills and
compounds and severe diuretics.
They tear down, wear out and de-
stroy. BY arousing tho kidneys
and liver to unnatural activity,
they seem to relieve distress, but
the reliefis only temporary, as the
causes Of physical disorder are not
removed any more 30 than = weary
horse can be refreshed by severe
whipping; he may go a little far
ther, but will eventually drop dead
in his tracks. A remedy that will
strengthen the weak portions, re-
move impurities Of the blood and
general system, and gently stimu.
late the appetite, is what is needed
by the majority Of dyspeptics and
sufferers from sore and clogging
kidneys. Such q remedy is Dr..
ouysott's yellow Dock and sarss-
parilla, an Alternative Of splendid
virtue and unmistakable effect.
Thousands there are who would
now be in their graves, had they
not resorted to q timely use Of this
common sense curative.

Fatal Amusement.

New YoRK, April 27.-In front Of Schles.
singers store are two large arc-lights.
Frederick White, clerk, aged twenty
three, has had habit of tapping lightly
with his hand on one Of the lamps when
ever he came out Of or entered the store.
The store was closed as usual at about ten
o'clock tonight, and a few minutes later
White started for his lodgings. The lamps
were hanging rather lower than was Gus
tomary, and any one standing five feet
high could have reached them. White
foolishly graspcd one Of the wires forming
the loop connecting them, and on the in
slant he uttered cry Of pain. Ho was
powerless to release his hold, however,
and after writhing in agony for apparent
" several seconds he fell dead.
