ECHO OF THE HURRICANE.
S-hipwrecked Sailor Found on . Raft
and Nearly Dead

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2.-Captain Bode, Of
the steamship Catania, which arrived to-
day from Daiquiri, Cuba, reports: Aug. 20.
in latitude 30.33, longitude 1888, rescued
from a raft Arthur Necalasas, Of Gothen-
burg, one Of the crew Of the Norwegian
bark Drot, from Pascagoula, Aug. 8 for
Buenos Ayres. He says that on Aug. II.
when off the Florida straits, the Drot got
into the center OF a hurricane. The vessel
was wrecked. The crew consisted of fifteen
men, eight Of whom got into a raft formed
by part OF the deck of the disabled bark.

and the first mate chung TO the other.
Necalasas lost sight of the other portion
of the raft almost Immediately. After drift
ing about five days without food or water
the first mate Jumped overheard and was
drowned Necalasas says hat three steam
ers passed within a mile of the raft, but
did not answer their signals. The Catania

COLOR LINE DRAWN
Colored Children Must Attend sepa-
rate Schools I'm New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-That colored pupils
may be excluded from schools where white
children attend in this State was established
Smith, of the Supreme Court, in the case
of Mrs. Cisco, a wealthy colored woman,
who has been attempting for several months
to compel the Board of Education of
Queensborough to admit her children into a
school at jamaica. Mrs. Cisco brought a
suit for a p~eremptory writ of mandamus to
compel the school authorities of Queens
borough to admit her son Jacob. thirteen
years old, to the schools attended by white
children. Mrs. Cisco admitted that Jamaica
had a school exclusively for colored chill
to send her son to any school in the borough
she chose. The case was stubbornly con-
tested and her motion was denied. without
costs.
Justice Smith rendered an exhaustive
opinion, saying in part: THE Court of APP
peals decided that under the provisions of
the c-ommon-schoo act of 1864, authorizing
the education of the colored race, the au-
thOrities have power, when in their opin-
Ion the interests of education Will be pro-
noted thereby, to establish schools for the
exclusive use of colored children, and, when
such are established and provided with
equal facilities, to exclude colored children
from schools provided for white children.
There is no claim that the statute was ever
repealed. The claim that the statute was
repealed by implication canno be seriously
entertained. The due and orderly admins
tration of law requires that the relief de-
manded by the relator be denied until grant,
ed by the Legislature or until the Court OF
Appeals revises or reverses its former adj
Indication"
