Wants 1t Set Aside.

In bill in equity filed Saturday after
neon by Annie NJ. Ackerman against Mar
tha McIntire. the complainant prays that
her conveyance of sublot n, square 992, to
the defendant be set aside.
The complainant, through Attorney Mye1
Cohen, alleges that several years ago she
placed the property in the hands of E. A.
McIntire, brother OF the defendant, to
sell. She claims that McIntire made a fic-
titious sale of the property, whereupon
she sued him.. Pending final decree in
that case, she says. McIntire induced her
last July to deed the property to his sister
the defendant, by certain alleged misr ep-
resentations- She was also induced by him
IN the same way, she says, to make an
affidavit diametrically opposite to what she
had sworn to in her suit against him. She
now repudiates both the deeu and afiiuavI
saying that they were made because
among other things, of her enfeebled physi.
cal and mental health.

Stealing Bicycles.

Four years ago. when John Wise, colored
was arrested for the theft Of bicycle. he
was twenty years old and did not have q
trade. Had he been fortunate enough to
have had trade he might have worked
and bought an iron horse When tried in
court the judge thought he should live at
Albany long enough to learn how to earn
his living. A sentence Of three and one
half years was imposed. but John does not
seem to have proflted by his experience. for
he Is now under arrest for similar thefts
and he told the officers where he had dis
posed of the wheels. He is now CHARGED
with the theft Of two wheels, one the prop
erty of j. T. White. and the other Of g. p
Hooker. One wheel he took apart and sold
the wheels for s., and a cyclometer and
tools for so cents Mr.. julius Emner, an
electrician is charged with having received
one Of the stolen Bicycles and the wheels Of
the other bike. For the bicycle and two
wheels he paid SO. SO it is charged De-
tectives Boyd. Lacy and Boardman have
the case in charge. and Judge Miller will
probably hear the evidence tomorrow.

A CoLoRED pREssMAN.

His Employment mt the Government
Printing Office Causes q Controversy.
The civil service commission has informed
Messrs. M. d. Fenton and the other men,
bers Of the executive board of the Print
ing PIessmen's Union Of this city that
Edward L. Carter, colored pressman at
the government printing office, can not be
deprived of his position for reasons laid be-
fore the commission by the union.
The circumstances of the case, as stated
by members of the Union and shown by the
records in the office of the civil service COM
mission. are that Carter, who then lived in
Bay City. Mich, was the first colored man
to receive tn appointment as pressman n
after the civil service was extended to the
government q printing Office. He entered
upon his duties there March % last, after
rigid examination. in which he received a
very high percentage.
He was assigned to the charge of one Of
the most intricate printing machines In the
office, and it Is said by even some Of those
who are most bitterly opposed to him that
he soon became an expert in running the
press.
Carriers presence in the press room was
objectio nable to some of the other men en-
ployed there. and the matter was brought
to the attention of the Pressmen's Union
They instituted an investigation as to Car
ter's antecedents in the printing business,
and 1t Is said learned that he had served
eignt years In press room-four as an ap-
prentice and four as journeyman. The
executive board, however, wrote a letter
to the civil service commission alleging that
Carter had not complied with the rules of
the Printing Pressmen's Union, as form
ulated by the International typographical
Union, and fntfmated that they would like
to have Carter discharged from his place.
Upon the receipt of the communication
from Messrs. Fenton and others OF the local
union the civil service commission likewise
made an investigation and found that Car
ter had compiled with the civil service law
and also of the ,Pressmen's Union to which
he was permitted to belong when resi-
dent of Bay City, but that he had not been
member of the union of this city because
he could not join on account Of his color.
Thereupon President John r. Proctor Of
the commission informed the executive
board of the union that they would take
no action in the matter
Within the past few weeks Public Printer
Benedict has appointed eight or nine COL
rent of the printing office. each of whom
passed a civil service. examination.
Officials Of the civil service commission
are much pleased at the acticn of Mr..
Benedict in the matter. and in conversation
with Star reporter said that under civil
service rules a much better class of col
ored people have gained entrance into the
departments than was the case when ap-
pointments were only secured through in
fluence.
In letter to the commission, and which
is on file at the office of the latter. Mr..
John M. Langston expressed his great
qualification that so many colored persons
have secured government positions A
calculation made by him showed that in
the District Of Columbia alone the salaries
paid those referred to amounted to several
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars.
