distance from the Florida coast on
the east. They call them John Bull
%niggers." The black nan is poorly
treated here by the southern whites.
They look upon them as inferior In
cveryway. They won't allow the black
children to come to school and mix
with the white children. The law is
all right but public opinion says mo
you black kids cant mix with the
white kids and then they have to
live in a prescribed district of the
town by themselves. The negro is not
even allowed to vote; at least they
know the southern whites don't want
them to vote, consequently they don't
go to the polls. So the negro children
are growing up in ignorance largely.
Shame on the southern whites for
such treatment Of the black race.

ATTEMPT TO DROWN CREW.
Policeman Pulls Gun on Unruly Pris-
oner Who Was Rocking Boat.

Richmond, May S.-While he was
bringing two men and a woman from
the island at the lock near The city
d ok shortly after s o'clock Tuesday
night Policeman Akers, his prisoners
and vestryman Of Christ Episcopal
across the canal had a narrow escape
from being precipitated into the va
ter, and 1t was only after the police
man had pulled his pistol, and with
the serious intention Of shooting, that
the unruly prisoner who was rocking
the boat desisted from his attempt to
drown all the occupants.
Policeman Akers had received 4
cali from the neighborhood Of the
island. His information had told him
that negro man, a white man ard
a white woman had been carousing on
rhe island for three days, with no
other shelter than the spreading bran
ches OF a tree. Obtaining a boat from
Frank Buckley, and with Buckley as
the oarsman, he crossed to the island
and arrested Thomas Cornell, white,
John Hobby. cclcred, and Rosa Tyler,
while. The white m.n and the women
were badly battered about the face.
Cornell an dthe negro iougnt for the
,woman's favor, and Cornell is said to
have struck the woman in the eye al
ter The negro had beat him. Eight en-
pity pint whisky bottles were found
near the party.
On the trip across the canal Con-
nell tried to tip over the boat. Buckley
hit him over the head with paddle,
but this did not cause him to deSist.
He pleaded with the negro to aid him
in upsetting the craft. Then Police
man Akers pulled his pistol, and, level
ing it at Connell's head, told him he
would kill him if he made another SIM
liar attempt.

A PERILOUS PREDICAMENT.
Workman Holds by Hands High in
Air When Scaffold Rope Fails.

Richmond, May S.-Dangling from a
rope on which they had only hand
holds, John Smith and Elijah Brown,
colored, hung suspended from the
eleventh story of the new Murphy
Hotel, in full sight Of horror-stricken
people on Broad street, few morn
ings ago. They were arranging a
scaffold on which several brick masonS
were to work when man on the
ground who had hold of one of the
ropes let loose and made the horizontal
flooring of the scaffold assume a per-
pendicular position.
Within few inches Of the heads
of H. A Green and Joseph Kirliie, two
white men who were working on a
scaffold at the second story, the boards
which had been laid across the ladder,
forming the undermost portion OF the
scaTold, came Gathering down and
struck the roof over the covered walk
on Broad street With a noise that could
be heard for several blocks.
For fully fifteen minutes the two
men swung on the verge of eternity.
Then workmen, who had obtained q
hook, drew the dangling ladder and
rope to the eleventh story window,
and the laborers were once more safe.
Smith was clinging to one Of the
blocks of the scaffolding rigging,
while Brown had death grip on one
of the rungs Of the ladder.
