The ColOred Brother Lionized in Germany
Berlin is less cosmopolitan than almost
any other of the large cities of the world.
It is comparatively seldom that one sees
strange costumes and strange people, as
is daily the case in New York, Paris and
London. 1t is not great while since
the street gamins would follow an Eng
lishman or American, whose dress diff
fered somewhat from the ordinary, and
cry at the top of their voices, Eng
lander!" or "Yankee!" Although that
has changed somewhat in the course of
time, the novelty has not yet worn off.
A colored man clad in respectable gar
ments who appears in Berlin is almost
lionized. There is no race prejudice.
On the contrary, he is the equal of all,
and people speak of the handsome
"brunette" and the frauleins saddle
Pegasus in his honor. s.. +... f..
have seen hundreds of promenaders
stop before the Cafe zur Opera and gaze
for minutes at the colored man who acts
as porter to the establishment. His
presence draws numerous people to the
restaurant who would otherwise pass il
by. The big fellow appreciates his posi-
tion now, has become proud. and shows
his white teeth in smiles of recognition
to many fashionable people in the street.
His wages are high. and, being the only
attraction of his kind in Berlin, he is able
to dictate his terms. In the classical
city of Weimar negro married the
daughter of the court preacher. The
wedding was honored by the presence oi
hisroyal highness Grand Duke Alexander
and all the aristocratic people Of thai
modern Athens. London Letter. -.

An Extraordinary Pension Fraud Case
Reported from Missouri.

An Extraordinary Pension Fraud Case
Reported from Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, May 6.-The principals in an
extraordinary pension fraud case were ar
rested in different parts of the state Friday.
Jacob Little, Union soldier, died in And er
sonville prison, and in 1871 his widow was
awarded pension Of $S6 month. She
married man named Barnes and died
in 1872 Barnes took his wife's
pension papers and came to Pettis county,
Md, where he married a widow named
Rogers. He induced her to impersonate the
deceased Mrs Little, which she. did success
fully and drew the pension. Barnes died in
1877. and the widow took up with man
named Ritz, who was soon in possession Of
the pension story. She wanted to quit draw
ing the money, but Ritt compelled her to
continue the fraud until they separated
about a year ago.
Then she ceased drawing the money and
the government, desiring to know why the
money was not drawn, started an iuvestiga-
ton. After six months hard work the con-
spiracy was uuearthed and Mrs. Barnes was
arrested Friday at Somerset, Ozark county,
and Ritt was taken into custody in this city.

REVIVAL OF SAILING ships.

A revival in the building of fine clipper
ships and very large schooners for fast
sailing appears to be at hand. Shipping
men say that the cheap carrying trade of
the next few years will be by our masted
schooners. There seems to be a general
impression among shipping men that sail
vessels last longer than vessels propelled
by steam, and being less expensive to run,
need but sufficiently fine lines and a pro-
portionate amount of sail to make excel
lent voyages.
Several large schooners Of this class are
now being built by New York merchants
and persons who have capital to invest in
shipping. They are to be fitted with en-
gines run by steam to do much of the
hard work about the decks, and do away
with the necessity of carrying large
crews.
Along South street, with their huge
jibbooms pointing nearly half way across
the street, can be seen at almost any time
a score or more clipper ships that have
made many remarkable voyages. A ship
ping merchant, in speaking of them yes
terday, said:-
"Here are a dozen big ships that have
been sailing for twenty years; yes, and
some of them for thirty years and more.
yet they are today almost as good as the
year they made their first trip around the
Horn. Where is there q steamship that
has been running ten years and can still
make as good q voyage as she made when
one year old. "-COnBneTctaJ Advertiser.

NEGROES UP IN ARMS.
A Big Riot Imminent in an Alabama
Mining Town.

A Big Riot Imminent in an Alabama
Mining Town..
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. %, 1SS9.-There
is serious trouble brewing at Pratt Mines
a mining town six miles from here.
Deputy Sheriff Maxwell killed a negro
there last night, and the negroes tried to
lynch him. The particulars Of the killing
cannot be learned.
The white population wired the Sheriff
for assistance IN protecting the prison,
and a posse was sent there last night. A
train has just arrived from Pratt Mines.
1t was crowded with ONE and chill
dren, who were fleeing from home for
fear of an assault. The wires have been
cut between this city and Pratt Mines,
and the conductor of the train reports
that several hundred armed negroes are
assembled at Slope No. 90.
The people are petitioning that officers
be sent out to protect the prisoners. The
conductor says the negroes do not hest
tate to make open threats. .
A telephone message from the Pratt
mines at ten O'Clock last night announced
that a riot was in progress there, and help
was needed at once. Before particulars
could be obtained the telephone wire was
cut. The Sheriff at once ordered out the
local military companies, n Went out
with a strong posse in addition 10 the
troops.
One message states that 300 armed
negroes are burning the town and attack
ing the whites. Sheriff Smith ordered
out the volunteer military company,
which was drilling in the armory, and
fifteen minutes later it was on the scene
of the trouble. A volunteer posse of citl-
zens armed with repeating rifles went
out with the military.

makers sliced their opportunity for a
good time. In the intervals between
dances there were songs and piano solos.
Miss Maude Dugan sang prettily, and
Mr.. Drew and Miss Marguerite Hen
nesseY were the pianists.

THE ROSE AVENUE SEWER.
1t May Yet Be Built as the Property
Owners Would Have 1t.

1t May Yet Be Built as the Property
Owners Would Have 1t.
In reference to the article which ap-
peared in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS of yes
terday concerning the dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by the property along
Rose venue at being refused a choice
between a pipe and a brick sewer, one of
the members of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners told me today that
the Board was not to blame.
An original petition was pre-
scented by said property owners to
the old Board praying for a pipe sewer.
The contract was awarded. Since then
the Rose avenue property have
decided they would prefer a brick sewer.
and have petitioned the new Board to
have the contract changed. The matter
was referred to Corporation Counsel Ed
wards, who decided that in order to ac-
comp1ish this an entirely new petition
must be presented by the Rose avenue
property owners, otherwise there
might be some flaw in the con-
tract which would vitiate the
assessment should any one see fit to kick.
1t is not the intention of the Board to dis
regard the wishes of the property owners,
and as the work upon the sewers in that
section has not yet reached the avenue IN
question there may yet be time to make
the desired change without risking a flaw
in the CONTRACT.

JENNIE WAS TOO LIBERAL.
Ia Loaded Her FalthIess Lover With
Razors and Other Gifts.

She Loaded Her FaIthIess Lover With
Raxors and Other Gifts.
Frederick S~teenburger, of No. III New
ark avenue, was before Justice Weed this
morning at the instance of Jennie Bush,
Of No. 1875 Summit avenue.
Frederick and Jennie lived near each
other in Germany and came to this coun-
try about the same time.
Jennie secured employment in a physi-
clans family on the Heights and saved
up quite a sum of money while Frederick
drifted about from place to place.
He soon discovered where Jennie lived,
ana, seeking her, began to make fierce
love to her. He is a fine, distinguished
looking individual and Jennie recipro-
Gated his pretended passion with all the
ardor of her young nature.
She gave him various present, among
(which was q razor and shaving cup, and
1t is to the razor that her superstitious
mind attributes all her woe.
Frederick proposed to her and was &C
cepted. He was then out OF work, he
said, but expected soon to obtain employ
ment, and would make her the happiest
little woman in the world.
In the meantime could Jennie let her
Frederick have q little money to tide over
q temporary embarrassment. Jennie GER
tainly could, and handed up $50 of her
hard earned savings.
Then again Frederick on one occasion
admired a gold watch chain which Jennie
wore and for which she paid $45, and she
let Frederick wear ii.
Soon afterwards Frederick's love cooled,
and finally it became apparent to Jennie
that she was deserted maiden. She then
ascertained that Frederick had pawned
the chain for SIS, and the RAZOR and shaw
ing cup for forty. five cents.
This was more than her love could bear.
and she called upon Justice Weed. Fred
erick will have an examination in a few
days.
