Suing for Her Dover.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Maria Evans,
a negress. 70 years of age, is
fighting for her dover in the
estate of DR.. Henry Laurence ss
his widow. Opposing her suit
are twenty relatives of DR.. Laurence
The amount involved reaches 500 900
aud the widows dover is two-thirds Of
the whole estate. The plaintiff, whose
father was negro and her mother a
mulatto, began life as slave. When
she was seventeen years old young
man named Evans, clerk of an old
Virginia family, fell in love with her,
and seven years afterward he was able
to purchase her and marry her. They
lived in New Orleans just before the
war where they conducted fashinna-
BILE boarding house. In 1865 Evans
died. DR.. Laurence was living with
them and he fell in love with the
widow. She claims there was q COM
mon-law marriage by which both con-
sented to live together as man and wife.
For twenty-five years, she says, she
was a wife to Henry Laurence and
closed his eyes when death finally sep
arated them. The defense to the suit
is that the former slave was not the
wife of DR.. Laurence, but bis servant,
and that no marriage contract existed
between them.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 10. 1896.

THE NEGROES of Boston and their
white leaders met last night and de-
clared that negroes are not more i'm
moral than white people, that they are
not rapists, and that lynching them in
the South is for the purpose of crush
ing the aspirations of the race for i'm
p,ovement. They also invoked the
spirit of Garrison and Phillips to stop
Jyaching, and declared that if it be not
sto oped, the "impetuous spirit of John
Brown, in its onward march, would
haunt them in into action" It seems to
soma Virginians almost incomprehen-
sible that intelligent Northern white
men should entertain any such sentl-
ments as those expressed by the decla-
ratiops referred to. but it ID not 80 to
those who know that on Monday last

n,nt State Office in Virginia, as dem

who would hang negro "for the fun
of seeing him kick" AS the GAZETTE

about the South that prevail in the
North are derived from Southern men
and Southern newspapers.
