cHINAmEN YELLED MURDER.
SUDDEN VISITATION OF TWO
WOULD BE-ROBBERS CAUSES
MUCH EXCITEMENT

People living in the vicinity of
Chapel and Holt streets were awaken
ed from their slumbers about o'clock
Sunday morning by the cries of muir
der issuing from n Chinese laundry
near Holt street on Chapel. There
were two Celestials in the place at the
time. and they had just finished their
usual Saturday nights business and
had gone to the rear room of the store
before retiring.
About this time two negroes forced
an entrance through the front door,
whereupon the two Cinnamon set up
yell that would have frightened the
life out of an ordinary man and put
n Russian army to flight in disorder.
The visit of the negroes was, no
doubt for the purpose of robbery. but
the reception accorded them knocked
the idea out of their head. and they
left without securing anything. One
of the negroes struck Il screaming
Chnaman in the mouth before taking
his departure. ~ gentleman living
nearby went to the assistance of the
shirt washers. but the would be-rob-
bers had made their escape.

"One dollar and costs" said the JUS
tice, after the man had pleaded guilty
to the charge OF drunkenness.
The new Justice went through the
docket in business-lille manner, and
the impression he created was most

portend evil to the cell warmers, who
fam would fatten off the food provided
by City Sergeant Lawler.

NEGROES AT THE moRcuE.
GRIEF is ALWAYS PATHETIC TO
SEE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE
POOR

1t was pathetic to see the crowds OF
negroes standing on Avon street, oppo-
site the Morsue, yesterday afternoon.
They soon learned when there was n
corpse recovered. How the news got
to them in distant parts of the city
no one knew, but they soon appear
ed on the opposite side of the street
and awaited with an intensity of
grewsomc expectation that was pitiful,
some intimation that the body was
that of one of their relatives or friends.
The negroes have an exaggerated
idea of the number of men who were
drowned in the collision in the harbor
here on Saturday night. They expect
that their friends are lost. Some of
them know that husbands and broth
erS have not returned home, hence the
morbid and pitiful picturesqueness of
the crowd that stands opposite the
NIorgue expecting that some friends
name will be called as that of the
corpse
Grief is never so pathetic as when
seen among the poor.

is that the Jennie Potter sailed away

without staying to see If there was
any need of aid
The bark left Philadelphia June 25th.
and the wreck occurred three days
later. about So miles northeast of
