a result of charges emanating here
in railroad circicles that the Jim
crow" laws of Texas, Arkansas
and Tennessee had been violated,
officials of the cotton belt rail-
road and the Pullman company
will be prosecuted. The wife of
Booker T. Washington, the Negro
educator, alighted from Pullman
car yesterday. 1t is said that she
had been smuggled through from
Paris, Texas, in the drawing room
and it is asserted that as there
were white passengers in the same
car, the "jim crow" laws in three
states were violated. Great secre-
cy was maintained and Mrs. Wash
ington only left the train here
long after it's arrival Her effort
to get taxicab also failed, each
white chauffeur she approached
refusing to carry her.

TRUE
REFORMERS.

Richmond, va, April ia
paper containing the signature of
the leading judges, mayor, post
master, etc., of Richmond, has
been circulated endorsing the True
Reformers, which reads:
We, the undersigned, believe
it is the duty of every citizen of
Richmond to do everything in his
or her power to help save the True
Reformers, because of the untold
good that the organization has
done for the colored people of this
city, state and country. 1t has
taught habits of thrift and self re-
lance and by its influence the
number of paupers have been re
duced thereby. We have conf
dence in the present management
and believe that all contributions
will be properly applied.
Directly after the recent extra
session in February, campaign
was inaugurated to raise by April
Is, $4,000. The clerks in the Of
flee have raised by giving enter
tainments and the white citizens
contributions will reach about
81, 1000 or S., 900. The officials ex-
pect to accomplish this purpose by
April Is.
In an interview with a represen-
tatiye of the press the officials state
that $65, 5,713.72 had been raised
the failure of the bank, by the or
ganization and over $4,000 had
been paid out by death claims. 1t
is evident that large number OF
the membership over the country
have been loyal
The consensus of opinion is that
the organization will rehabitate it
self and will be managed along
sane business lines and placed up
on basis assuring greater success
than ever before.

the table facing me. During the
argument Robinson called me "a
fool, and l replied in kind when
suddenly he sprang to his feet,
rushed to me and struck ma in the
left eye before l could rise from
my chair. AS quickly as I could
get to my feet, grappled with him
striking as best I could to defend
myself, while he as I thought, was
punching me in the stomach and
side. At this junoture we were
separated, wnen learned for the
first time that the big coward had
been stabbing me, while 1 thought
he was fighting like a man, as L
was. l had no idea that he was
going to strike ME, much less at

ial business argument.

w. A. GUNNELL in ST. LOUIS. LATTERS
WOUNDS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS. AT
TACK CLAIMED TO BE UNWARRANTED.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 0.-One
of the most disgraceful affairs that
has occurred among the better class
of Negroes in the City of st. Louis
was the ,murderous assault upon
w. A. Gunncll, Grand Secretary
of the Grand Lodge K. of P. OF
Missouri, by G.. K. Robinson, Sec
retary of the Supreme Lodge K. OF
P. Monday last, about 0:l5 p. m.
The trouble occurred in the office
of Mr.. Gunnell at Pythian Hall,
3137 Pine Street, and was the re-
suit of a dispute over bill for
supplies furnished the Grand
Lodge. 1t is the first disgraceful
act committed by any one on the
premises, which is the headquar-
ters for the K. of P. of Missouri
and contains the offices OF the
Grand Chancellor, Grand Secre-
tary. Treasurer of the Endowment,
and manager of the building.
Grand Chancellor Lloyd was not
in the building at the time. he hav-
ing been assigned to speak at st.
James Church in Elleardsville,
not returning until 1870 p. m.
When seen by an Afro Ameri-
can representative at his home,
Mr.. Gunnell made the following
statement: II made business
engagement to meet Mr.. Robinson
at nv office Monday, April 3rd, at
8 d. M, to assist me in adjusting
the records turned over to me by
him which Re had kept as Score
tary of the Pythian Hall Commits
sion. [ have repeatedly requested
this meeting, for the reason that
the Beneficiary Board now con-
trolls the property, and the men,
bers at the last quarterly meeting
instructed me to get with Mr.
Robinson and go over the records
and adjust some discrepancies as
they could not understand the rec
ords left by Mr.. Robinson. Hav-
ing recently received a bill for sup
,,l;as from Mr.. Robinson covering
items which my records show have
been paid, l thought it good idea
to 90 over this account with MIN
and thus save him a second trip to
nv Office, or myself trip to his
Office.
"When | asked him to explain
why the Grand Lodge should be
charged for items which had been
maid. he became very angry, which
led to the argument, insisting
that I wanted him to explain the
bill. 1 was seated at my desk be-
hind a small table, and Robinson

Charles Dickens love of children is
well illustrated by the following story
told in the London Telegraph: He was
walking in the neighborhood of Gad'3
Hill one day, not long after he ac-
quired his property there, when he
suddenly ran into a little girl wheel
ing dolls perambulator. In an in
slant the tiny vehicle upset, the dolls
being thrown out. The little maid
burst into tears and, much to the
novelists sorrow, refused to be com
forted. Then come home with me, ~
Dickens whispered soothingly, and
We'll see if We can't find some grand
waxen lady in silks and satins for
you" But it is in the sequel that the
best part of the story lies The child
heart was set on making some ta
turn for the kindness, so her parents,
who had not the faintest suspicion of
her friends personality, took her to
town to choose something. Her choice
fell eventually upon a gorgeously
bound book When Dickens the next
day undid the parcel he was surprised
and delighted to see a copy of David
Copperield. Not until many years
later, when they met again in society,
did the little girl learn who the kind
gentleman" was.
