FIRST lin CROW KICK

The wife of Vernon Myers, colored,
of Pittsburg, Pa, was fined $3.50 by
Justice Eckstesn Tor violating the i'm
Gov law on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, near Plane No 4 when she
created quite scene.
Myers and his family are from Pitts
burg Pa, and have been visiting
relatives in this county. Thursday
boarded train at Evansville, having
tickets to Mt Airy, and took seats
in one of the coaches researved tor
white people. The conductor directed
them to move to the car for colored
passengers. Myers was willing to 60
but his wife objected.
When the conductor attempted to
use force she hit HIM in the face with
her fist and then drawing hatpin
from her hat attempted to stick him.
Finally TIE family was put OFT the
train at Plane No.
At the hearing the woman made
the plea that as she came from Penn
sylyania, where there was no such
things as Jim Crow cars, she was I'M
aware of the rule and aresisted the
conductor attempt to remove her
from the car for white passengers, be
cause she thought it unwarranted.
Justice Eckenstein stated that had it
not been for the fact that the punish
me mt would fall upon her husband,
who had shown peaceful disposition
and desire to avoid trouble, he
would have made the fine heavier.
AS it was he said. it seemed to take

JUDGE PARKER,s STRENGTH.

JUDGE PARKER'S STRENGTH.
Democrats 10 all parts Of this State
share the Worlds confidence that
"Judge Parker will carry New York
by a rousing majority"
Mr.. Roosevelt has never been
great vote getter" in this' city or
State. When he ran for Mayor in
1886 he got only 60,435 votes, while
Erhardt received 10, 900 10 1888 and
Einstein 9S. 900 in 1892, as straight
Repu blican candidates.
When Mr.. Roosevelt ran for q ov-
ernor ia 1898 even the glamour Of his
Cuban war record enab led him to
beat Mr.. Croker's Van Wyck No by
only II, 296 plurality. Two years before
Mr.. Mckinley had carried the state by
268, 900. In 1S94-beforS the Bryan
bllght-Governor Morton carried the
State by $4,000 and the Republican
candidate for Secretary Of State was
elected by 80, 900 in 1895.
Mr. Roosevelts course as President
has not strengthened him in his own
State. On the contrary it has weak
ened him. Neither Plat nor Odell
likes him. Conservative business men
distrust him. The independent voters
have been disappointed and disgusted
at his cultivated alliances with ne
most notorious spolsmen of his party
Lou Payn being the latest
Judge Parker has the confidence and
esteem of his party and the respect of
independent voters. He was elected TO
tt Supreme Court by the unanimous
vote of both parties, and carried the
State for Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals by $1,000 the year the great
landslide to Mckinley.
The Democratic party Is united and
enthusiastic for its candidate for Pres
ident. The masterful manner in
which with few simple, strong, hon
est words he brought order out Of
chaos at St. Louis and reunited and
revivfied the party, has opened tho
way to another Tilden and Clevela nd
campaign.
New Jersey aud Connecticut have
the fixed habit OF voting with New
York in Presidential elections. The
Democratic leaders IN those States are
confident that they will do it this wear.
The nomination of ex-senator Davis
for Vice President removes any doubt
that may have existed as to West Viz
ginia and Mary land, and with the
South solid the carrying of any one of
the debatable Western States will send
Judge Pa rker to the White House.
1t will encourage the Democrats of
the whole Union to learn that Judg e

all his heart and mind-that he will be
the leader as well "a the Can didate.
