A negro sailor, who said his name

policemen on Saturday evening and
told story to the effect that he had
been beaten and burned and robbed by
"A gang of tramps in the west yard.
Several police officers were sent out and
they arrested two men who gave their
names as Joseph Richardson and John
Clark, whom the negro identified rs
two Of his tormentors. There we're
several others, he said, but they es-
capped.
According to the negro's own story,
no was coming from Baltimore and in
tended to go north to look for work.
When he arrived at the west yard on
Saturday night he saw fire and going
to 1t asked permission from gang Of
men who were sitting around, to be al
lowed to get warm. Instead of answer
ing the colored man, they, caught hold
of him and commenced to beat him.
They tore his clothing aud held him
over the fire. He was in terror all the
time lest he would be burned to death.
The terrified negro finally succeeded
in making his escape, after his cloth
ing was badly torn and his money gone.
The men were arraigned in tho
municipal court on Monday and each
was sentenced to one years imprison
mont and fined 500. Tho negro was
not seriously hurt and he was in good
condition Monday.
The police department procured a
now outfit in place of the unfortunate
negro's dilapidated suit of clothing
which was ruined by the tramps.

Fly Time


The breathless calm OF the mid
summer solstice is come. Cattle seek
the shaded pool, aud birds sleep silent
amid the motlonless leaves. The heat
shimmers across the distant fields
like light on shifted steel, and the
cotton wood gossamers drift aimlessly
or hang suspended in the dense hot
atmosphere like ghosts of dead white
flowers. Red roses pant perfume in
the warm, still Moons. MOcking birds
pour out their souls In melody in the
moonlit mid-nights. The syren song
of the candidate is hushsd. The bum
politician has sunk into innocuous
desuetude, aud even the voice OF the
free silverite is no more heard in the
land. The debtor grows obvious ol
his obligations, aud the local editor
gives up in despair at the universal
somnolence.

THE RISING TIDE OF BETTER TINES.
IN. o. Picayune.l

The Tariff Committee of the New
York Reform Club has been keeping
record of the mills and factories aud
business concerns that have raised the
wages OF their cmplo, ees since Sept.
l, 1894.
The committee has published q list
Of lhese embellishments. with the date
ofthe raise, the percentage Of advance
In wsges aud the number Of employees
affected. The irst entry Il ofa woollen
mill In New York city, on the 4th of
September, 1894, aud the last Is OF an
iron furnace OF Birmingham, Ala, Oh
the 29th OF Juue, 1895.
The advances Of wages are from 10
to 3S per cent, aud the number of en-.
tries Is 1872 firms. OF these, 1853 do
not mention the number of employees !;
but the remainder show a total Of
about $4,000 persons who received
the advance. The committee declares
that the wage advance did not begin
until the passage Of the Wilson bill
and that there were practically no sd.
vances, but thousands Of wage reduc-
tions, during the four years of Nc.
Kinleyism. II is noticeable that the
wage advance occurred first In woollen
mills. This was undoubtedly the re-
suit Of free wool As might have
been expected, the advance next spread
to the other textile industries. Since
then 1t has become more general but
even yet the advances are confined
largely to the protected industries, and
seem to be the result Of free or freer
raw materials aud of less protection,
lower prices and greater consumption,
The evidence Is unmistakable, that
under the influence of tariff reform
and the gradual recovery from the
panic Of 1898, times are growing bet
ter. The Improvement showed first
iu the manufacturing States and sec
tions. The agricultural States and re-
gions Of the South and West arc the
last to feel the improvement, but they
are bound to realize the change ai
soon ss their products come into mar
ket. The time cannot be long new.
