colored men, has issued an address to the
negro voters Of the North, in which, after
referring to the defeat of the elections bill

ofpower, and each negro in the North is
urged to refuse to vote for any candidate

the negro, free ballot and fair count.
The negroes are urged to organize for

Leading New York Lawyer De-

GETS 4 DIVORCE IN MONTANA,
Then WEEDS . Young widow with Five
Million Dollass-Psrndy Of One
81 the -Four Hundred.

NEW YoRK. March 25.-rSpecial. Mrs.
Clifford Bartlett, who, some years ago,
married one Of the most prominent MEM
bers Of the New York bar, has just been
made cognixant Of the fact that her hus-
band has recently secured divorce from
her In Montana and has left this vicinity
with the pretty young widow Of Christie
pher Meyer, who not long ago became sole
heir to her husbands estate Of s., 600 900.
a few years ago Christopher Meyer was
the head Of the Brunswick bank, of New
Brunswick, n. j. He was man of very
large fortune, the lowest estimate placing
his wealth at $1,000, 600 When Stayner
and Ives formed their notorious 81, 000.-
600 pool. Meyer was induced to put in
$1,50O,0O0, and with the bursting Of the
bubble this entire sum was dissipated.
Meyer died soon afterwards, and his estate,
valued at not less than 5000, GOO, went to
his young wife, whom he had married
not many months before. Litigation en-
sued over the will, and the lawyer selected
to take charge Of the widows affairs was
Clifford Bartlett, brother of Judge Will
lard Bartlett, Of. the New York supreme
court. Bartlett and Mrs. Meyer saw q
great deal Of each other, though no one
doubted the attorneys loyaly to his wife,
who is . beautiful woman, NOV
ing in high society in New York. On a
plea OF business Bartlett went to Montana,
secured divorce, and returned home
without showing any apparent change in
his affections for Mrs. Bartlett. The next
day, however. he left, and shortly after
wards he sent her letter in which he bru-
tally informed her that while in Montana
he had secured divorce from her, and
that he had gone away with Mrs Meyer,
and Mrs. Bartlett would never see him
again. Where they have gone nobody
seems to know, although it is said they are
in Montana.

PHILADELPHrA. March 25-The firm Of
a. Whitney a Sons, carwhecl manufac-
turers, is financially embarrassed. The
arm is composed Of John r. and James S.
Whitney, the surviving sons of the founder.
Rumors of the embarrassment Of the firm
were confirmed by James s. Whitney, who
declined to give any details be-
sond admitting the bare facts.
The carwheel works were founded
by Asa Whitney in 1s43 When the works
were built they were among the finest in
the country and an immense trade was
built up. The founder died in 1874, leav-
Ing an estate valued at 81 .0O0, 900. and the
management of the concern fell to his
three sons, George, John r. and James s.
After the death Of the father it was found
he had left large dowry to his
daughter, who had married Bishop
Howe, of Reading. This dowry was Sc
cured in the mandatory. Two years ago
Il was found that interest on this inherit
pnce had not been regularly paid, and an
Appeal was made to the courts. An order
was made assessing the unpaid interest
and the plant is said to have
been mortgagcd 10 secure its pay
mcnt. George Whitney died in 1855,
leaving an estate valued at $500. 600
John K. Whitney had also retired from
the firm, but at the time of placing the
mortgage he was constrained TO come back
to 1t and is now senior member. Since
then the works have been doing fair
business but have been gradually falling
behind. Last year the rating OF the firm
by commercial agencies was cut down to
between 100000 and $4,000, but their
credit was good for that amount.

WASHINGTON CITY, March o5.-The CEN
sus bureau has in preparation bulletin
giving the population of the South Allan
tic and South Central states and Missouri
and Kansas by races. The total popula-
ton shown in this count is given as 3d.
S75, 259. of which 16, So, 205 are white 1885,
166 colored, and 1O,S8S Chinese, Japs and
Indians. In the states included were
found in 1880 fifteen-sixteenths of the entire
colored population of the United States
For the purpose of ascertaining the per-
centage of increase of colored people the
returns OF these states are adequate. The
abnormal increase Of the colored popula-
ton in what is known as the "black belt"
during the decade ending in 1880 led to
popular belief that the negroes were in
creasing at much larger rate than the
whites.
Facts now ascertained sustain the theory
that the high rate of increase shown in
1880 was apparent, not real, and was due
to imperfect enumeration in the Southern
states in 1870. During that decade the
colored race has not held its own against
the whites. But in three decades, that is,
from 1900 to 1880, during part of which time
the slave trade was in progress, has the col
ored race increased more rapidly than the
whites. Since 1880 the whites have steadily
increased at a more rapid rate than the
colored people. This increase is not af-
fected by emigration. for with the one ex-
ception of Kansas these states received
comparatively few emigrants. In 1880
there were nearly six colored Inhabitants
o ten whites, put this proportion has
been reduced to a trife more than four at
present, or by nearly one-third its
amount.
The deficiencies Of the ninth cen.
sus. says Porter, are apparent.
Several tables are given which show
the movements of the col0fed
element of the population during the last
half-century. There has been no extended
movement of this element since the civil
war. Indeed, with the exception of the
District of Columbia, the border states
appear to have lost rather than gained,
and during the last decade there has
become perceptible q southwark move
ment of the colored element from the
border states into those bordering the
gulf, particularly into Mississippi and
Arkansas. In these states this has re-
suited in producing a more rapid increase
of the colored element than Of the whites.
General Malone and John NJ. Langston
have, it is stated, settled their differences,
and will hereafter work in harmony for
the preservation of the interest of the
Republican party in Virginia.
