Of Tammany Hall in New York IS serv,

tbe Negro contingent OF this great Dem

in whose sagacity and organizing talent
Richard Croker had the most lmpiicit
confdence. The new regime OF colored
politicians, taking its cue, perhaps, from
faith to John ]. Bell, and at a recent
meeting invested him (they claim) with

Private George G. Boardman, of
Company /, Twentieth Kansas Regi-
ment, who not long ago returned from
the Philippines, related to me an incl
dent which illustrated how difficult it is
for a colored man to receive fair treat
ment here at hte hands of the officers
who are sworn TO enforce the laws i'm
partially Many people know Thomas
Dodson. 1t will be remembered that
he was brutalIy assaulted by white
man named Kendrick for no apparent
reason. Boardman (white) was an eye
witness to the episode. 1t was plain
case, but it was with difficulty that Ken
bricks arrest could be secured, as there
seemed to be no anxiety on the part of
any official to apprehend the man-and
it was intimated that it was unusual for
4 white man around here to interfere in
behalf of a Negro. Boardman'S manly
reply that Dodson was an American
met with no encore Kendrick being ar
rested, he left only S. collateral, which
lie forfeited by failure to appear in po-
lice court This was deemed insufficient
punishment by Dodson's friends, and
Kendrick was again apprehended. First,
he demanded a jury trial, but finally
asked a court hearing, and was fined $40.
Boardman's account evidences that. a
Negros life is held at low value IN the
district of Columbia.

New York, July 31.-When the

1'issiles that fell on them. They also
gathered up stones and sticks and in
few minutes there was scarcely a
whole pane Of glass on the Grand
street side Of the factory. Then some
enc in the factory turned on a hose
and played it unfortunately all over
the funeral procession. At one time
IS many as five streams were play

trampling over citizens, and the
stronger men trampled women and
children under foot in their efforts to
escape.
The police had in the meantime
taken hand in the trouble and were
clubbing the people right and left.
They were, however, unable to cope
with the crowd and the reserves Of

was imposed by Judge Bailey in the
municipal court Thursday upon twin
boys, IS years of age, who were before
HIM on charge of burglary. The boys
were Robert and John Scott, sons CT
prominent people of this city, and it is
alleged that they have committed
large number of burglaries during the
past summer. Judge Bailey gave them
the option of reform school sentence
or cowhiding, and they chose the
latter. The sentence of the court was
then carried out, a janitor welding the
rawhide. The father of the boys was
once mayor of Superior.
