HoLD-UP OF ROBINSON.

Blame Edwards, negro well known 70
the police of this city, having been guilty
of many petit larcenies and having
served one term for an attempted mold
IN. was arrested yesterday by Detective
Hall and locked in the First Police Sta
ton, charged with being suspicious
character.
Detective Hall thinks he is implicated in
the hold-up of Mr.. A. w. Robinson, on
Madison street, last Monday night, and
will make his charges when the man is
brought to court.
Edwards is only II years of age, but his
career since he was small boy has been
checkered He made his first appear
ance in the criminal world several years
ago, when he was arrested by Sergeant
Werner having been caught in the act
of stealing fixtures from soda fountains.
He was convicted and sentenced to nine
ty days.
Some months ago he completed a term
of one year on the charge of holding
up a man. Upon gaining his freedom, he
left the city, but returned recently. and
the police think he is mixed up in this
late attempt.
Mr.. Robinson finds that he is more pain
fully hurt than he first thought. AS a
result of the encounter he is sore, and his
injured hand is giving him some trouble.
It is swollen, and the pain has extended
to the arm. He is out, but suffers much
inconvenience from the injuries.

PROPOSE TO FIGHT HARD.
Rejection of Vote of Edgar Poe Lee
Made the Occasion of Proceedings

The memorandum of a suit for 5000
against the registration board of Jackson
Ward, filed in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday afternoon by James H.
Hayes, a negro lawyer, is but the begin
ming OF an organized effort of the colored
people to have the new Constitution of
Virginia passed upon by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Hayes brings the suit for a coiored man
named Edgar Poe Lee.
Hayes said last night that when the
proper time comes q negro organization,
known as the Negro Industrial Associa-
ton of Virginia which has representation
in every city. town. and county in the
State, will have to plead their cause the
very best legal talent that can be OBJ
tanned. Already some of the leading con-
stitutional lawyers in the country have
been consulted and joan S. Wise, of New
York. has, it is said, been sent certified
check in four figures, more than $i,00e,
as a .retainer's fee.
The man Lee served in the United
States army fighting in the Indian wars
on the western frontier, and was, it is
claimed. SO entitled to vote. He made his
application before j. II. Bradley. John y.
Haley, and JOnrl MCEnednS, VINO are
being sued. but by them was turned down.
The fight will be based on the opinion
handed down by Judge McKenna in the
New Orleans case of Williams VS.. the
Commonwealt of Mississippi, which opln-
ion was adapted from the words of
Justice Matthews, of San Francisco in
the famous case OF Yick Wo against Hop
kins. In this latter case it was charged
that there was unjust discrimination
against the Chinaman in the right to run
a laundry. The words of Justice McKen-
ma are as follows:
Though the law itself be fair on its
face, and impartial in appearance, yet If
it is applied and administered by public
authority with an evil eye and an unequal
hand, so as practically to make unjust
and Illegal discrimination between per-
sons in similar circumstances, material
to their rights, the denial of equal justice
is still within the prohibition of the Con-
stitution."
Hayes says that while the Virginia Con-
stitution on It's face is fair and impartial.
yet the negroes. through their attorneys,
will attempt to prove the Constitution
was made with rank discrimination as
/: made the registration judges the arbi-
trary judges of who shall exercise the
right of franchise and that the negro vote
was practically eliminated while the igno-
rant white man retains his vote.
