NEGROES IN THE DISTRICT.
They Want tbs Suffrage Restored because
Tiny Charge Discrimination.

At the next session Of congress mon
.tcr petition will be presented by Repre-
sentative Murray Of South Carolina, the
only colore man in either houSe pray
ing for the restoration Of the rights OF
political suffrage in the District OF Co
lumhia. 1t will be signed by u MAORI
ty of the negroes of the District, headed
bv Frederick Douglass and ex-senator
Bruce. This move grows out Of the re
fusal Of the commissioners OF the DIS
,rict to appoint a colored man as one of
the members Of the hoard Of assessors
recently created bv act Of congress- The
colored men had an applicant in the
person of Daniel \. Murray, an assist
ant in the congressional library and
member Of the board of trade. Frederick
Douglass especially interested himself in
behalf Of Mr. Murray, but the board re-
fused to appoint him. The colored peo-
pie made a stubborn fight for the assess
orship and now that that has been de
MED them no Offices are left, and they
propose to memorialize congress for the
restoration of the right of suffrage i'll
the District.
When the suffrage was i'll vogue i'll
the District the negroes were an lmpor-
tant factor in the government, and
part of the patronage was accorded
them. There was "A negro assistant dis
trict attorney, tax registrar and city
marshal, and other lucrative offices
were filled by them. But with abolition
of the right Of suffrage they have been
cut off one by one until the assessorshlp
was the only place filled by negro.
Now even that has been taken away.
Frederick Douglass says that the gov
ernment of the District is an oligarchy,
and it is wonder to him that the peo-
pie have tolerated it as long as they
have Under its present form OF gov
eminent he thinks it impossible for the
So, 900 colored people to get any civil
or political recognition. He says the
trend is now against the negro, but
that a reaction will speedily set in
The sentiments Of Mr.. Douglass are
Endorsed by other prominent colored
citizens of the District, who say that if
they are not successful i'll their move
they will at least let the world know
they feel keenly the discrimination on
account of color i'll the government of
the District. The pastors of all the To-
cal churches are in favor Of the move
ment, and the petitions will be placed
at the several churches from Sunday to

Life In Hoosac Tunnel.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Sept. 10 - The
most horrible railroad disaster known in
this vicinity took place on the Fitchburg

A freight train had stopped to repair an
engine which had broken down, aud at
the same time westbound express train

was allowed to enter the tunnel, contrary
to the rules Of the road, ana In engineer

Is a frog fish: This is the problem
which the officials of the Dominion fish
cry department have recently had to
consider Petitions We're forwarded to
the department from the inhabitants of
Northumberland Ont, praying for a
close season for frogs. a lucrative trade
in the shipment of frogs legs had been
done in that county, but it was discov-
cred that the very time when the frogs
are spawning is one when the greatest
havoc is wrought among them. Posi-
bly, change will be made in the fishery
laws so as to embrace frogs. The officers
say that in their embryotic stage frogs
are certainly fishes, but later on they
take an amphihious character. Hail

A kipllng Story.

This capital story some one tells OF
Kipling as illustrating very clearly the
characteristics Of the vigorous English
boy who was afterward to achieve such
widespread fame by his pen. When a
boy of II, he went on voyage with his
father, who, becoming desperately sea
sick, retired to his berth, leaving young
Rudyard to his own devices. Presently
the poor father heard a tremendous com
motion over his head and down the
companionway dashed the boatswain,
three steps IT time and shouting ex-
citedlv, Mr.. Kipling, your boy has
crawled out on the yardarm, and if he
lets 90 he'll drown sure.
Eyes. = said Mr.. Kipling, falling back
on his pillow with sigh Of relief,
but he won't let 90. .

ENCOURAGING SIGNS.
TSey Relate to the Business Outlook and
Are seen by the Coal liarons.

TeeY Relate TO the Business oHtlook ana
Are seen by the CoaI Iarons.
AT the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday
and at the Hamburg American dock in
Hoboken there was large gathering of
Leisenrings, kemmerers, Wentzes,
Fighters and other "coal barons of tie
Lehigh valley to say goodby to Mr.. E.
b. Loisenring, president of the Lehigh
Coal Navigation company, whose fail
ing health has at length caused him to
lay down the immediate supervision of
his vast business interests and 60 to Eu
rope for recupcration and recreation.
Talking with these coal barons, | was
much interested to find that they are
taking very hopeful view of the bust
ness situation and that quite apart from
the fact that the great anthracite coal
industry in which they are more special
ly interested has had more than its
share of prosperity during the long sea
ron when the bituminoas coal regions
all over the country were bllghted by a
strike of most comprehensive proper
tions.
Mr.. NJ. s. Kemmeror said that the
most encouraging sign to his mind was
the improvement in the iron industry,
"a branch of business closely allied to
coal mining, and the two together hay
ing much to do with the general pros
perity of the country. A day or two ago
came an order from Brazil for the man
ufacture of 60 locomotives, big thing
in itself, since the building of locomo-
tives has been practically suspended for
q long while. AT the Schenectady works
orders from American railroads are
coming in for railroad iron. At Bethle
hem, where little beyond the manufac-
ture of armor plate for the government
has been going on, there is perceptible
activity, and one of the great iron COM
panies has booked more orders within
the last six weeks than in the preceding
six months. M. p. Handy.
