AN UGLY CASH
Tn the Throat of Negro Watohman !, the Result of g Quarrel-The-
 Othor Man Escapes.

About 12 o'clock last night in Patton's livery stable, on Second avenue, belw cen Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, Sam Robertson, negro night watchman, re- ceived gash in the right side of his neck that may result in bis death.
 Robertson says that two or three negroes were in the stable discussing the cost of pair of leggings. dispute arose and the argument grew hot.
 Robertson told them that MT. Patton had given him strict orders 10 allow no one to loun ge about the stable at night, so he told the negro loungers that they would have to leave the stable. Jim Clarke, one of the crowd didn't like the idea of being put out and said he wouldn't go. Then Robertson went to call up police headquar- ters when Clarke sashed him in the neck with razor. Then Clarke ran away. Officers Johnson and Oldham heard of the fracas and went 10 the stable, where they found the wounded negro bleeding pro- fussly. He was sent to the police station, where Dr. Parke dressed the wound.
 The negro was not dead at an early hour this morning, but his I, covery is doubtful. - Clarke has not been arrested.

DlSLIKED BY HER NEIGHB0RS
Local Officials on the Trail
and No Guilty Man Will
Escape.

HUDSON, Wis, May 20. - Mayor
Hawkins of New Richmond has been
IN close consultation with District At
torney Helms about very disgraceful
affair which occurred in that city
Thursday night and has aroused the
better element to a high pitch of in
dignation. Near the heart OF New
Richmond, it appears, lives an old
woman named Dunbar, who is 63 years
Of age She is said to have gained the
dislike of some of her neighbors.
Instead of going to the courts to seek
peaceful redress, last Thursday, about
midnight, some 25 men took the law
into their own hands. They raided the
old woman's house, broke in the door,
dragged her out of bed and poured tar
over her entire naked body and then
rolled her in chaf and sawdust. They
then left her, thinking that they had
perpetrated a huge joke, we'll merited;
but the great mass of better citizens
did not look upon it i'll that light and
count it as serious crime, disgraceful
to their city and county. Mayor Hop
kins is hot on the trail of the white
cappars. and says that no guilty man

tacific Cable Line to Be Laid via Fanning

NEW YORK, May 22.-An Ottawa dis
patch says: 1t may be taken rs set
tied fact that the Pacific cable will be,
like its promoters, essentially British.
Under its treaty with the United States
the Hawaiian government IS precluded
from allowing any foreign power to
acquire any portion of Hawaiian terri
tory. the United States having given
an adverse answer to Great Brltaln's
proposition to secure Necker or Bird
island as cabl9 station, the Tanning
island route will therefore be adopted.
The link from Victoria to Tanning
island is 800 miles longer than to
Necker island, but this, it appears, will
not mitigate against the effectiveness OF
the cable. All tenders for construction
of the cable have been given assurances
to this effect. Tanning island is a Brit
ish possession, so that all the landing
places of the cable will be within the
empire.

No Doubt About the Fate Of the Three
Negroes in Florida.

No Doubt About the Fate of the Three
Negroes in Florida.
MADISON, Fla, May 22.-There is no
longer any doubt that Sam Echols, Sim
Crawley and John Brooks, the negroes
who assaulted and murdered Miss
Mamie Armstrong in Lafayette county,
were fiayed and burned. A man who
has Just reached here from Lafayette
county says the belief is general that
the negroes We're tortured to death. He
says that it was evident. that the ne
groes were tied to trees and the skin
stripped from them with knives. Then
wood was heaped about the bleeding
forms and the match applied and the
wretches were soon dead. This man
says that he found some strips Of flesh
about the place, which bears out the
assertion that the negroes were fayed.
Everything is quiet in Lafayette
county, and there is no fear of trouble
between the races. The better class Of
negroes denounce the outrage and muir
der of Miss Armstrong as bitterly as
the whites. Twelve negroes have now
been lynched in six months, and It
would seem that the fate of the last
three should prevent further attacks
upon the white women. Whites have
formed band and are bound to pro-
tect their wives and daughters.

IT'S A TERRIBLE THING.
lsnatiu< DnnueIiy Tai = OF the Income
Tax Decision.

lsuatius Dnnueliy Tai = Of the Income
Tax Decision.
ST. PAUL. May 22.-1gnatius Donelly
was interviewed touching the income
Tax decision. and said:
"The decision is bold attempt to
screen the wealth of the country, and
especially its corporate wealth from
paying its Just share of the expenses OF
the government that protects it. 1t re-
duces the power of taxation Of this
government to the tariff and internal
revenues. And the tariff being imposed
upon the goods used by the whole peo-
pie. falls upon them without much re-
gard to the amount Of their possessions.
A millionaire can invest his great for
tune in United States bonds and not
pay cent to the support of the govern
ment except to the clothes he wears.
The hod carrier, with family OF a
dozen children, may thus pay more tax
under tho tariff than the millionaire.
The Ricl, ade Fnvorites.
"The income tax was an attempt to
equalize things and to maxi man pay
in proportion to his rece., It's over and
above an amount necessary Tor his alb
solute support. This decision says
that this shall not be done. 1t says to
the railroad corporations of this coun'
try, who are collecting through thei1
passenger and freight traffic interest
upon five or six billions of watered
stock, pretended bogus capital, that
the government shall not take a farthine
of this unjust revenue, whIle through
the tariff it pursues the common citizel
with a demand for taxes on his hat, his
coat, his pants, his boots, for the very
materials of which his home is con
structed, and even the coffins i'll which
| be bur.es his dead. 1t is to my mind ;
shocking and terrible thing, and we
will be fortunate if the reversal of thi
decision will not cost US in America a
long and as bloody war as that whicl
it cost to wipe out the Dred Scott de
cision."
