INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY "L."
Truculent Negro Passengers subdued by q
Friend OF thu ConducfoH.

VFuc1ene Negro Passengers Subdueo by q
j; Friend OF the Conductor.
On the alley ''L"road one evening q
trio of negroes boarded a southbourd
train and proceeded in a way to cap
ture the car they were in. They stood
in the aisle and INSTRUCTED the prog
ress OF people coming and going out
at the different stations and were in
clined to be disputatious and quarrel
some with anybody who ventured to
criticise their conduct. One of them in
particular, the largest of the three,
was especially pugnacious, and finally,
when the conductor ordered them to
take their seats the big fellow threat
ened all sorts of destruction to the
official, and defied him openly to Law
hands on him, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The conductor passed to the next car
and enlisted the services of an acquaint-
ance of his, "bouncer" at one of the
smaller theaters. This worthy weighed
about 240 pounds and was a giant in
strength and size. He walked into the
car where the darl1ies stood, grabbed
the big one, who was at least half foot
shorter than the bouncer, and dragged
him to the door.
AS the car was just then Stacking up
at station the bouncer threw the COL
cred man clear over the gate and on to
the platform without waiting for the
guard to open the gate. The darby
sprswled all over the platform and his
two companions skunk to seats as the
bouncer looked back into the car. The
train went ON, the two remaining 'ster-
rors" keeping very stu.

the other. All he said was: dat sholy

rotary, treasurer and manager for the
past five or six years, by shooting him
through the window from the outside

and patriotic speeches were made
while the committee was out, and
when they came. in the following reso-
lutions were submitted and unani-
mously adopted by four or five hun
dred people of this village and com
munity who were congregated Ell

Whereas, We have heard with deep
sassinate Mr.. W. X Parker, secretary,
treasurer and manager of the Cumber-
lard Mills, on the night of January
IS, 1896, lille IN his Office dscharging
the duties incumbent upon him as
such oiiicaI; and whereas, we consider
such an attempt unproyoked, unac-
countable and without any cause, a
disgrace to civilization, stigma upon
the community in which we live, and
a menace to the peace, safety and dig
nifty of each citizen of our State; now.
therefore. be it
Resolved, 1st, That we denounce the
aforesaid attempt as being unjustifia-
bile and cowardly and the act of mid
night assassin.
Resolved, I'd, That while we, as ope-
ratiyes Of the Cumberland Mills and
citizens of this community, in joint
meeting assembled, deplore the at
tempt Of the aforesaid would-be assas-
sin, we rejoice that the assault was I'M
successful and no serious damage
done, and that we viii use all honor
able means to apprehend the culprit
and bring him to justice.
Resolved, 3D., That since Mr. Parker
became citizen of our town we have
always found him to be a refined, CON
servative and courteous gentleman;
also being "a member of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows and a
knight of Pythias, in good standing;
and believe that he has done the best
he could in every instance and under
all circumstances for the welfare OF
the employees of said Cumberland
Mills, and we. extend to him our sim
cere sympathy and support in this try
ing ordeal of his experience and thank
an all-wise Providence that he has
been spared to his family, his friends
