Justice Edward Mccall, of the Ap-
pellate Division of the New York SUI
preme Court, in a notable decision
handed down Monday, awarding Geo
w. Griffin, a Pullman car porter, ST.
600 damages against Daniel L. Brady,
reversed Judge Dugro's decision OF
last year in the same case, perhaps
the most infamous opinion IN a North
ern court of law during the present
generation. Judge Dugro set aside
the verdict of the jury awarding Grit
fin damages OF $4,000 for false arrest
and Imprisonment as excessive, on the
ground, partly, that he was a cOlored
man and a porter. In the course oi
his opinion the lower court judge de-
clared that a colored man could not
suffer from arrest as does a white
man. This decision at once attracted
attention the country over, and was
the subject of severest censure, d

The Blackville Corporation.

Mr.. J. Lubrie Hill is the author and
composer. 1t is full of fun from be-
ginning to end. Mr.. Hill is the star
character in this burlesque. 1t shows
the ignorance as we'll as the inteili-
gence of the Negro. Mr.. Hill, who
assumes the character of president,
chairman and treasurer, makes him
self one fussy and disagreeable indi-
vidual. His secretary, who comes in
late and leaves before the business is
finished, Mr. Robert Murray, is ludi-
crous. The vast audience was carried
away by the fun that is displayed in
this scene. Here is where Mr. Hill
shows up many parts of the Negro,
and concludes by getting the best of
the white man in his park scheme,
which is sold to the railroad for a
large sum.
The lawyer OF the Corporation is
Mr.. George Price, Jr., who takes the
character of Tom Collins. Tinny
Ray takes the character of Moses
Lewis, drinking member of the Cor
poration. He is too drunk to know
what is going on.
The Corporation, when in session
displays lots of fun, especially Bro
White, Charley Olden, who continu-
ally makes ridiculous motions, and
the most sensible motion that he
made declared the chairman was the
one to adjourn for dinner, especially
after Jasper Jenkins informed the
Corporation what he had for dinner

company on the great ovation that

quite evident that the people OF
Washington will reward merit, and ii
is their wish that Mr.. Hill and his
company will have a successful tour
of the Blackville Corporation.

character of Mrs. Sparks, the preach
er's wife, IS entitled to special men
