A RIOT ON AN ELECTRIC CAR

Early Tuesday Morning.
NEGROES WERE IN THE FIGHT
Three Negroes Shot. Ono OF
Them Fatally.


New York, Dec. 26.--During riot
among AZ negroes, mon and women, on
q trolley cal in Morrisiana, early today,
one man was fatally shot and two per
sons we're dangerously wounded. The
injured are: Dudley Smith, 23 years
old, shot in the left groin, fatally
Edward Lambert, "a years old, shot in
the back and three knife wounds ON
the thigh, and George Torrend, 81
years old, shot in the Jaw. Charles
Trassy, "a years old, who did the
shooting, WIS arrested.
There was cakewalk last night,
which was attended by large crowd
of colored people. Forty-seven of the
participants and spectators, about l
O'Clock this morning, boarded trolley
car bound for Harlem Bridge. There
were no white people on board, except
the conductor and the motorman.
Among the negroes was Lizzie Stewart
of Mount Vernon, who had been
Trassy's partner in the cakewaIk.
Almost Immediately after boarding the
car, the negroes commenced to fight.
The row was stan ted, it is said, by some
of the colored men making disraraging
remarks about the Stewart woman.
Trassy resented these insults and a
clamor Immediately arose, in the midst
of which revolver was fired. The
shot was followed instantly by five
Others. The car was brought to a stop.
The pistol shots had been heard by the
police, but most of the passengers got
out before the officers arrived, and dis
appeared in the neighboring streets,
but Trassy's escape was prevented. and
the pistol with which he did the shoot
ing was secured. Every chamber was
empty. On the floor of the car, lay
the three wounded men. Smith, NOR
tally wounded, struggled with the
policemen when they attempted to lift
him to his feet. He obstinately re-
fused to say who shot him, and Lambert
also declined to identify grassy as the
man who had discharged the pistol.
Torrend, however, pointed to Trassy
and said: "He done it. :" On hearing
this, Trassy admitted having fired the
revolver, but said he did it in self
defense. The Stewart woman bore him
out in this statement, adding that
'tevery coon" in the car had Jumped
on him. Torrend slipped away after
identifying Trassy. and the doctors took
the other two wounded men to hos
pital. They said that Smith would
probably die. A razor had evidently
been used by some one 10 infiict the
wounds on Lamhert's thigh. Each Of
the cuts was a foot long.

Congress May He Asked TO Make Change
IN the Laws.


Representative DAILY Of New Jersey,
says the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph, contemplates introducing into
Congress when that body reassemb.es
after the holidays a bill transferring
the power to license pilots to the local
inspectors of steam vessels who are
organized under the general govern
ment.
Among the local pilots the proposed
measure meets with general ridicule.
To man they say it can never lass,
though they do not hesitate 10 say that
il IT did they would find their ocoupa-
tionH gone. At PRESENT the pilots of
this port have a monopoly Of very
paying business.
The new law would change all this
and would enable tine masters of vessels
entering or leaving Amer lean ports to
navigate their own vessels unaided.
This would drive the rilots out Of busi-
ness. The new law provides, however,
that all captains of ships must pass q
satisfactory examination before United
Statos inspectors
