TROuRLE AMONG NEGROES.
A Singing Contest Ends in Row-A
Policeman Assaulted.

1Ollcffnan hr>auiAtus
The negroes had lively time last night
nj the Third-Street Methodist church (cOl-
OTed).
II seems that the Ideals and Independ-
ents. two rival singing clubs, met 10 nave
n musical contest. The former is composed
of the very dark-skln folks, while the men,
bers of the latter are mulattOes.
Not the best of feeling exists between
the organizations, and before the contest
could be decided row seemed imminent.
Mary Paine Walker, who seemed TO be at
the head of the affair. sent 10 the Second
statiOn-hOusc for policeman. and Officer
Foster went ont to the church and arrested
John Toles, who appeared to be creating
disturbance.
Officer Austin and Redford heard Of the
trouble while thoy were on Broad street.
and also went out 20 the church. When
they arrived the negroes were all In the
yard making q great disturbance and hight
ing each other
Officer IIulcher came up from the Third
district and assisted RedfOrd TO arrest Tom
Buford and Charles Roy upon the charge
of fighting and otherwise creating dis
turbance.
Officer Austin went into the crowd to ar
rest Harvey shelton. The man resisted
violently and the policeman was assaulted
with stones from other members OF the
crowd. Shelton was finally taken TO the
station-house and Austin discovered that
he (Austin) had been cut in the SIDE with a
knife. The weapon hsd gone through n
thick overcoat and other clothing. which
prevented ,he wound from being serious
one.
There are three charges against shelton,
as follows: Creating a disturbance on the
street. resisting and assaulting the police,
and cutting and wounding Officer Austin.
When Austin was attacked he fired ms
pistol to frighten the crowd. and it had the
effect of soaring OF some of the belligerent
negroes.
The men arrested will have hearing at
the Police Court this morning.

A few davs after the conference between

held in Mayor Ellyson's Office, at which
Richmond's greatly-depieted car service
was discussed. Colonel " Y. Cutehsw,
CITY Engineer who attended the meeting,
addressed letter to the Mayor, in which
he said
As reouestod In ou~ conferences of Thursday

TIE MAYOR APPROVES.
Mayor Ellvson. in conversation with
Dispatch reporter yesterday afternoon. sald
he approved Of Colonel Cutshaw's sugges-
tions. especially the one about reducing
the hours which tho men have 20 serve,
He thought the company. would really
profit by giving the men more :est and
thereby better fitting them for then hours
of labor. Fresh and rested they would
certainly be much more alert and vlgilant
than they could possibly be WHEEL tired and
rcst-broken
The Mayor ais. thinks the company
would do larger and more profitable busi-
ness with larger and better cars and polte
and attentive conductors.
Before the car-stables were burned some
weeks ago the drivers had TO report ten
minutes before their leaving-time in tho
morning Now all Of them--thOsc whOarc
to drive and those who are not-are cx-
pected 20 answer 10 rOll-call before 6 A. NJ.

of course the full complement of drivers
arc not needed, aud consequently they do
not make full time.

OFFICER, BUT NOT A CITIZEN.
Mr. Cox Naturalized After serving Four
Yes.rs as Constable.

Judge Robert W Hughes had quite an
interesting case before him in chambers
yesterday afternoon. when Mr.. Thomas
K. n. Cox, of Prince Edward county. ac-
companicd by counsel and several friends,
appeared before him and made application
for naturalization papers
Mr.. Cox IS an Engllshman, who went TO
Prince Edward IN 1871 when only sixteen
years Of age Some years age hls father
became citizen Of the United States, but
not until after the son attained his mGjOrl-
ty. Some time after Mr.. Cox's father had
been admitted 10 citizenship the son made
application in the county for his natu-
ralizatiOn papers, but he was informed
that on account Of his fathers having be-
come subject Of this Government 1t was
not necessary for him 10 take any steps in
the matter
Under the circumstances the young Eng
lishman ran for the Office of constable,
without ever having become a legal voter,
was elected, and served for four years.
Recently he was nominated as the Re-
publican candidate for the House Of Dele
gates. and some doubt having arisen in his
own mind as to whether he would be al
lowed to sit if elected. he came TO Rich
mond and consulted Edgar Allan, Esq.
who advised him that. having come here
before he was eighteen, he was entitled to
become q citizen of the United States, but
that he would have 20 take out naturaliZa-
ton papers This he did before Judge
HUGHES
