RIOT AMONG CoLoRED GIRLS
There was revolt of the inmates of
the Reform School for colored girls in
Washington yesterday afternoon about
6 o'clock, which resulted in serious in
jury to Matron Marshall. The girls,
thirty-eight in number, all colored,
were in the play ground and in line for
supper when the inatron, for some in
fraction of the rules, ordered two of
the girls to go to their rooms. When
they refused she attempted to enforce
the order, when they all rushed at her
with sticks and clothespoles. The en-
gineer, Waterman, gardener and super
intendent were summoned and tried
to quell the disturbance, but they were
beaten off with poles and clubs, while
other girls threw dishes and all sorts
of missiles at them.
A teacher named Burroughs tele.
phoned for the police. Sergeant Hess
and Officer Hartman responded. The
superintendent arrived about that time
and the girls quieted down. When
the policemen arrived the girls were
lined up and sent to their rooms, but
they kept up their noise until after
midnight.

Rev. DIR. Gibson Suspected,

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The po-
lice are investigating rumors connect
ing Rev. DR.. Gibson with the murders
in the Emanuel Baptist church. Dur
ing the past few days some sensational
stories have reached the police, which
implicate the pastor. 1t is known
that the defense will attempt to show
that Gibson murdered the unfortunate
girls. nurant, while declaring his in
nocence, has frequently said that the
pastor knew more of the terrible
crimes than he cared to tell. DR.. Glib
son stoutly maintains his innocence.

THE NEGRO girls in the so-called
''reformatory" school at Washington,
rose in revolt yesterday against the
officers of that institution, two OF whom
they attacked viciously and injured
severely. As the most apparent effect
of this institution upon its negro in
mates is to graduate them in vice and
crime, why the people of the whole
country should be taxed for its support
is what they, at least, can not tell.

THERE are large slate mines near the
banks of the Potomac, q short distance
below this city, on the Virginia side OF
the river, that once were worked. The
recent rise in the price of slate should
be sufficient to stimulate some body to
put them in operation again. The ex-
pense would not be heavy, but, if the
slate be good for roofing, the profits, at
the present price, would be highly re-
munerative.

AS DEAR experience has proved that
negro free schools do more real harm
than good to those who attend them,
the idea that only the taxes collected
from negroes should be expended in the
support of such schools is neither new
nor bad one. The white people of
Virginia are entirely too poor now to
be taxed for any but the most urgent
and necessary purposes, aud the benef-
cent effects of which must be apparent
to all from whom taxes are exacted.

WHEN THE German tariff bill was
under discussion the protectionists lift
Ell up their voices ard prophesied that
the necessary result OF the passage OF
that bill would bea still further reduc-
ton in the wages of the labor employ
ed in the protected industries. But that
they are false prophets, as they always
have been, is proved by the fact that
slnce the passage of the bill referred to
wages in almost every one of the most
protected industries have advanced con-
siderably, some as much as twenty-five
per cent.

FIRE IN A FACToRY

w. c. McDonald's extensi,.
tobacco factory in Montreal, Que.
was partially destroyed by fr,
yesterday evening. The loss will
reach half a million, on which
there is 70 insurance There was not
fire escape on the outside, nor any a.
planes on the inside OF the buildir,
for the fighting of fire. Even the
windows were guarded by heavy iroa
screens, presumably to prevent theft.
The fire started at p. NJ. in the dry.
ing room, and for while smoulderei
Then suddenly the flames burst out
and a panic ensued. There We're nine
hundred employees in the building, and
half of this number were women and
girls. The shrieks of the women, as
they beat against the iron screens,
praying the crowd to do something to
save them, was most heartrending. A;
the flames burst out, three fremen wtle
on the roof, and for fully twenty
minutes their lives were despaired Of,
until finally ladders were found
to bring them down. They were
badly burned. The girls were nearl!
all on the fourth floor, and frantic with
fear. With much trouble, one Of the
iron lattices was knocked oil, when one
of the girls jumped and was almost
shattered to pieces when she reached
the roof ofan adjoining warehouse. Ia
similar manner the others followed to
the number of thirty. The ambulance;
were kept busy carrying the womea
and girls to the hospitals, and some
were driven in cabs to their homes. 50
far, one is known to be dead aud sey.
eral others are believed to be in tha
ruins.
From inquiries at the hospitals al 81
late hour last night, concerning the
condition of the girls injured by jump
ing from the windows of the burning
building, it was learned that but little
hope is entertained for the recovery al
at least five.
The first girl to make the terrible 4
leap from the fourth floor to the wsit
house roof was Marie Gagnon, who We |
picked up in an insensible coniiti0s
with her back broken. She cannot liut
many hours.

Most all the so.called independent
newspapers invariably criticize the
President adversely, not for good and
sufficient reasons, as some true blue
democratic newspapers occasionally do,
but whenever they suppose the popu'
lar whim of the North is with them.
That they do 80 is not at all surprising,
as it is according to their nature, but it
renders more noticeable the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland, ever since he first be-
came President, has always striven to
win the praises of the independents, I"
at the cost of the censure of the men
whose work secured his election.

Friday EVENING, APRIL DC, rs :.

TIE RESULT of the democratic pn-
mary here yesterday was the renomi-
nation of nearly all the present city
officers who were candidates. AS they
have performed their duties we'll and
faithfully in the past,there is every rea-
son to suppose they will do so in the
future. The present excellent Mayor
was not a candidate. For that Office
Mr.. John G.. Beckham, one of the most
respected, and deservedly so, residents
of the city, was nominated, and, if elect
ed, as he ought to, and doubtless will
be, that he will do honor to himself
and reflect it upon the city is conceded
by everyone who knows him. His con-
testant received fiattering vote, and
is doubtless glad that his fellow citizens
were able to find man better able, in
their opinion, to discharge the duties OF
the Office than himself. Having
gone TO the trouble and expense o.
nominating ticket, the least thing the
democrats can do, with credit to them
selves. is to secure its election.

COMING TINS WAY.
The Pittsburgh ANA Lake Erie Coming
Up the River.

The Monongahela division of
the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie rail
road will be extended. Despite
the very recent official denials of
the report that any extension
was contemplated, the line will
be carried from Bellerveron. the
present terminus, to Fayette
City.
A meeting was held in Pitts
burg yesterday afternoon at the
company's general offices, where
the representatives OF the up the
river interests met the railroad
officials to complete, the preliml-
naries and clinch the project.
The people of Belleveron and
Fayette City have pushed the
undertaking along all winter, as
stated yesterday, and last week
representative of the company
visited that section and made a
thorough canvass of the situa
ton.
The people along the line gave
satisfactory assurance of their
cooperation and promised that
no obstacles would be thrown in
the way.
This step means great proba-
bility that Morgantown will have
three lines of'road before a great
while. -Morgantown Post.
