for the appointment Of a commissioner to

Governor Bedle warmly opposed the
motion claiming that although the law
provided that two commissioners could
make report, there was nothing which
authorized two to constitute q Board
The commission was like struck jury

He claimed that the ect referred to by

ex- Governor declared, they had fallen
short OF their design. He also claimed
that the law was retrospective.

NO PARK BONDS YET.
Judge Knapp Gives MIR. Bruggemann An
other Chance to Show Why.

Judge Knapp GiVes mr. BrusRemann An
other Chance to show Why.
Judges Dixon and Knapp, as branch
of the Supreme Court, sat in Chancery
Chambers this morning. and listened to
the argument in the application of the
Park Commissioners for mandamus to
compel Director-at-Large Bruggemann
was brief, and Mr.. Gilbert Collins
opened it in behalf of Mr.. Brugge-
mann. He read the act under which the
Park Commissioners were appointed and
claimed that the section which set forth
that on the petition of 200 citizens stating
that parks were needed in the city, COM
missioners should be appointed by the
power to the 200 citizens, placing as it did
in their hands the power to decide
whether there should be parks.
He also claimed that the law provided
that the parks should be located in
thickly settled parts OF the city. whereas
the Commissioners had located them in
the suburbs.
The Commissioners have asked the
Board of Freeholde-s to issue 81, 100. .000
bonds, and TO place the proceeds IN the
hands Of treasurer who is only under
$4,000 bonds. The money would remain
idle for some time
At this point Judge Knapp interrupted
Mr. Collins to ask e1-Judge Garretson
what he had TO say to being given an
alternative mandamus. Mr.. Garretsou
replied by saying that he wished to i'm
press upon the Court the necessity OF dis
posing of this matter speedily. He laid
before the Court the present status OF
affairs. He told how the Board OF Free
holders had advertised the bonds for sale
and how the State Treasurer had been
awarded s4O0, 900 worth of the securities
and had offered che money to the County
Collector.
The Court and the counsel held a con-
sultation and IL was agreed to issue au
alternative mandamus returnaDle May 25.
This mandamus leaves Mr.. Bruggemann
the alternative of signing the bonds or
showing to the Supreme Court at Trenton
some good reason for not doing So II
Mr.. Bruggemann persists in his refusal to
sign. the matter will be argued before the
Supreme Court some time IN June.

MISS GALLAGHER's HAIR.
1t Captivates Edward Burke and Brings
Him to the Police Court.

Jennie Gallagher. about twenty years
old, who lives In st. Paul's avenue has
beautiful auburn hair which led Edward
Burke, who is 0 bartender at Central and
Laidlaw avenues, to fall desperately in
love with Jennie.
Edwards wooing was so ardent that
Jennie could not Withstand his amorous
pleadings and now she looks with trepid-
alton on the probable results. A short
time ago she became possessed with a
desire for orange blossoms, but Burke
would not listen to her pleadings.
Last Tuesday they had an argument
about it and Burke gave her two little
love taps in the side with his foot. For
this he was arrested, and is now under
bail for the Grand Jury This morning he
was before Justice Davis on Miss
Gailagher's complaint for breach of
promise of marriage. He denied his
guilt and was held.

praised the cooking highly.
From four o'clock in the afternoon
until dusk steady stream OF visitors
kept pouring into the exhibit A great
many school children were in the crowd

evening the inclement weather did not
have q perceptible effect on the attend
ance.
A great many ladies came, and Hobok-
ems popular Mayor, Edward X. Stanton,
visited the Institute, and was escorted
about the hall. Several members OF the
Board of Education were also present.

The novel spectacle Of lawyers fighting
each other for the spoils was pre-
sented in Judge Knapp's court this
morning. Some time ago Lawyer
Hood OF Newark obtained a judg-
ment against Brewer Kraemer of
Union Hill for the Tradesmen's Bank of
Philadelphia. The bank was not satis-
fed with its attorneys and soughtto have
Mr. Besson of Hoboken substituted in his
place. Mr.. Besson asked Judge Knapp
to make the substitution this morning.
Mr.. Hood opposed the motion and said
he would object until he had been paid
his fees which the bank disputed. He
was represented By Roger NJ. Foster OF
New York. Judge Knapp referred the
matter to Washington b. Williams.

HAVEN'r HELD THEIR OWN.

During the past decade the colored race
has not held its own against the whites In
the region where the climate and conditions
are, of those which the country affords, best
suited to its Developments. 1t appears that
in only the three decades from 1890 to 1880,
during part OF which time the slave trade
was in progress, has the colored race in
creased more rapidly than the white. Since
1880 the whites have steadily increased at a
more rapid rate than the colored people
This increase has not been effected by the
aid of immigration. for with the exception
OF Kansas and Missouri, these states have
received comparatively few emigrants,
either from foreign countries or from the
northern states.
The proportion Of the colored inhabitants
to the whites increased somewhat between
1900 and 1880, but since that time it has
steadily diminished. In 1880, when the
proportion was at its maximum, there were
nearly six colored inhabitants to ten white,
but this proportion has been reduced to a
trifie more than four at the present date, or
by nearly one-third of its amount. The de-
iciencies of the ninth census, the report
says, are so apparent in this table that any
reference to them is wholly unnecessary.
The following table gives the present
white and colored population of the several
atatas under consideration.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-03-26
The percentage Of v hite and colored pop
ulation in each Of these states in 1890 and
1880 are given as follows:
MOVEMENT OF THE NEGROES.

Several tables are given which show the
movement of the colored element of tue
population during the last half century. An
inspection of the tables makes it evident,
says the bulletin, that there has been no
extended north ward movement of this ele-
ment since the end of the civil war. In
deed, with the exception Of the District of
Columbia, the border states seem to have
rather lost than gained, and during the last
decade there became q perceptible south
ward movement OF the colored element from
some of the border states into those bor-
derIng ON the gulf, particularly into
they have increased proportionately
to the whites. Let the states under consid-
Grafton be divided into two groups, the first
comprising Delaware, Maryland, the Dis
trict of Columbia. Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and Kansas, and the second South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas.
Now the increase of whites in the first of
these groups from 1880 to 1890 was at the
rate of % per cent, while that of the
colored element was but SIS per cent. In
the second of these groups the
was 31.8 per cent, while that OF
the colored was but 1871 per cent. In the
first group the number Of colored to 100000
whites diminished between 1880 ard 1890
from %, 701 TO 23,088, or 1875 per cent;
while I'm the second group it diminished
from 81, ,456 to 73,61l. or only 9.6 per cent.
There is. therefore, perceotible tendency
to the southwark by the colored people,
which, by no means powerful, has resulted
in drawing a no.able proportion of that
element from the border states, and IN pro-

MILWAUKEE, March 25.-A serious wreck
occurred on the Northwestern road, a.

man was killed. two dangerously hurt, and
three others were more or less injured. A

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Supt. Porter
of the census bureau has in preparation an
important bulletin, giving the population of
the South Atlantic and South Central
states, Missouri and Kansas, by races The
total populations embraced in this count is
given as %, ,S75, 259. of which II, ,s6s, POS were

United States so that for the
purpose of Immediately ascertaining
the percentage of increase OF the colored
population the returns of these states are
adequate, and not likely TO be materially
affected by the returns of other states and
territories where the colored population is
small. The abnormal increase of the COL
ored population in what is known as the
black belt during the decade ending 1880
led to u popular belief that the negroes were

OF ascertaiuing how much Of the increase

how much was due to omissions Of the cen

crease in the growth Of the colored popula-

A CAR WHEEL FIRM HARD UP.

The Business Once Large, but It Has
Fallen OF.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25-The firm Of
A. Whitney & Sons, car wheel manufac-
turers, is financially embarrassed. The
firm is now composed of John r. and
James s. Whitney, surviving sons of the
founder, James s. Whitney. They decline
to give any details OF the matter, beyond
admitting the bare fact. The car wheel
works we're founded by Asa Whitney in
184S. When the works we're built they
were among the finest in the country. An
immense trade was soon built up, and the
works were In hourishing condition. The
founder died, however. about 1874,
leaving an estate estimated at $l,00J,-
900. The management fell to his
three sons, but it was discovered that his
daughter had large dower interest in the
property. The interest on this Inheritance
was not paid, and the works were mort
gagged to secure 1t. Since then the works
have been doing fair business, but have
been gradually falling behind younger es-
tablishments. They have not sold t. the
main railroad lines, but most of their wheels
have gone to small southern roads. Last
year the rating of the firm by commercial
agencies was cut down between 5000, 900 aud
$500, 900, but their credit was good ut that
amount
