aged 65, and lived alone, and was
last seen last Friday. Coroner's dep

While confessing to number OF
daring burglaries at Rockaway
Beach, New York, Ralph Sherman, a
tall young man of fine appearance,
has admitted that five years ago he
was the foreign teller for large
banking firm in William street at $5,-
900 year.
Sherman's method Of burglary was
so bold that he was able to commit
many crimes, he had confessed, with
out being detected. His capture was
quite accidental, detective imagin-
ing that he might have information
about a man the police were seeking.
When the detective approached Sher-
man the latter ran and when he was
caught he had jewelry on him from a
number of burglaries. Sherman said
that he had been in the habit OF
watching for cottagers who went into
the surf and that during their abb
sence he boldly walked into their
homes.
Sherman left the bank to establish
a translation bureau, being able to
speak half a dozen languages. He
failed in this and said that then he
took up burglary as profession.

Chester, July 30.-J. E. Sanders,
a merchant on Gadsden street, who Is
ordinarily sober and quiet, while
crazed with liquor, tried to shoot the
wife of neighbor, and was on the
point of committing other misde-
meanors when taken in charge by the
police. He was conveyed to the lock-
up, but when he reached there was in
such condition as to make it unsafe
for him to be kept in that place of
confinement through the night. He
was carried home, where he soon re-
covered, and got on his war paint
again. He was subdued, however,
without further serious results, and
will be tried in the mayors court as
soon as the feeling of the morning

him to appear for trial.

Senator Stone Slaps Negro's Face

Senator Stone Slaps Negro's Face.
Baltimore, July 29.-Angered at
what he considered the persistent in
science Of a negro porter on a Pull
man car, United States Senator Will
liam J. Stone slapped the negro in
the face and was hauled to the Cen
tral police station on the charge OF
assault. The episode happened on a
Pennsylvania railroad train on the
way from Philadelphia to Washing
ton.
The senator had ordered lunch
con, and was provoked because after
all the others in the car had been
served he was still kept waiting 20
minutes before his modest repast was
brought to him. The senator sharp
" reproved the colored man, who be-
came surly and impudent. The sena-
tor tried to ignore the walters re-
marks, but the latter became so Of
fensive that Senator Stone slapped
the negro across the face. The con-
ductor of the train appeared on the
scene about that time, preventing any
further disorder, and when the train
reached this city Senator Stone was
turned over to a special officer, who
conducted him to the Central station.
Brown, the negro, followed and
laid a charge against the senator,
who was permitted the freedom OF
the assembly room until some Of the
higher police authorities could be
reached. Senator Stone argued that
he was immune to arrest unless
charged with felony or treason, but
he was detained until Commissioner
Whettle was reached, who ordered
his release for a hearing tomorrow.
In the interval the senator was
rather i'll at ease. He paced up and
down the assembly room, talking
about habeas corpus proceedings. He
smoked one cigarette after another,
his excitement growing as he learned,
first, that Senator Raynor, for whom
he sent, was out Of town, and then
that Representative Gill was likewise
out of hailing distance. Finally he
thought of ex-senator Wellington,
but Cumberland is several hundred
miles away.
The senator's composure was re-
stored by the time the order for his
release had arrived. He finally joked
about the affair, and as he left the
station house said the porter would
have got it a good deal worse had the
affair happened in Missouri.

Calm Counsel for the Vermonters

The Daily News, published at Bur-
lington, Vermont, where the Tenth
cavalry (negro) is now quartered,
has these words of sound counsel to
offer to it's fellow citizens, who,
strangely, have been inclined to re-
sent the stationing of these negro
troops at Fort Ethan Allen. We
agree fully and completely with our
courageous Burlington contempor-
ary; we have little or no patience
with these people who are guilty of
prejudice against men because of
their color. Hearken to the proper
rebuke administered by the esteemed
Burlington News:
No "Jim Crow" cars are needed in
Vermont. This State is not going to
blot out the theory and its past his
tory of equality at this late day. The
negro troopers will be treated exactly
as well as they deserve by every real
ermonter-setting down nothing to
color, birthright or previous condi-
tion-and giving the same recogni-
ton that we accord to soldiers of
white skin in similar circumstances.
The uniform of our own national gov
ernment ought to settle promptly all
questions of equality. The uniform
will not stay long upon an unworthy
man. The negro soldiers while here
are our protectors, and if they are
ever seriously needed to do that SER
vice we have no doubt that our lives
could be safely placed in their hands.
No good Vermont man, no gentleman,
will insult or offend a negro soldier
because of his color. Our State Is on
trial as well as the negro trooper"
The only queer thing about all this
is, why is it necessary to say these
things--in Vermont? Are these in
alienable New England truths amen
able to argument? Is it necessary to
appeal to the Vermonters to give the
poor "down-trodden black" square
deal? Angels and ministers of abo-
lition defend us-and the black men!
