A sensation entirely new to this section was sprung here to-day in labor circles. A street fair and trades display will be held here, commencing Monday with a street parade in which the trades unions were to participate. To-day the unions announced that they would take no part in the parade because the parade committees of the Fair declined to allow the colored trades unions a place in the line. The Streets Fair people and the unions appointed committees to confer and try to arrange matters, but without result. The white union men take the position that the white unions have contracts with reference to wage scales, etc., with those composed of colored people and that they would not deal with an organization that was not responsible and respectable, that as regularly organized trades union the colored union is entitled to place in the parade and that the refusal of the Fair Committee to give the colored people a place is disrespectful to organized labor rather than to the colored people.

Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18991014&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Social Change Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Those who have visited the Cave of the Winds at Niagara falls will remember how parties of tourists after donning the rubber coats and hoods resembled a meeting of some awful secret society organized for the purpose of crime. To identify a friend while in the cave requires the closest scrutiny of the features. Men and women look very much alikes here and frequently ludicrous mistakes occur which are embarrassing to those concerned, but heartily enjoyed by the spectators. Two young men recently visited this celebrated place and to one of them befell this experience. In order to not become separated they held onto each others shoulders on entering the cave and were for a moment blinded and confused, by the clouds of mist and roar of water. They moved slowly along the wooden walk and encountered another party of three or four sight seers. Another heavy gust of wind and mist blinded them, and during the excitement one of the two companions threw his arms, as he supposed, around the neck of his friend in mock terror. When the mist cleared away somewhat, there in the dusk was a surprised young woman who had been the recipient of the hug. But she made no protest.

The man who sits down in a chair on which the baby has spread molasses has cause for anger. But the unfortunate individual who goes into a public restaurant for the purpose of satisfying the inner man and sits down in a chair on which a placid feline lies snoozing has good reason for allowing both anger and surprise to take possession of him. This is, says the Chicago Daily News, what one citizen of Chicago did yesterday, much to the amusement of other guests of the “eating house.” A black cat who had been up all night and was just trying to get a little noonday beauty sleep in a chair was rudely awakened by about 200 pounds of human anatomy sitting upon her. She gave a wild discordant shriek of regret and sunk her claws into the man. She hung on for life and screamed as loud as she could. She was frightened, so was the man to whom she was closely attached. When the big man felt the presence of the kitty he gave a sonorous bellow and made a grab for the cat. He also started for the door. He was separated from the cat by the help of a few waiters and customers.

Ordered From a Pullman Sleeping Car. HE REFUSED TO OBEY THE DEMAND. Many Threats, But He is Not Molested. We left Richmond by way of the superb Seaboard Air Line of which the capable Mr. L. S. Allen is General Passenger Agent. A few moments later we were well on our way to Jacksonville, Florida. We did not notice any of the discrimination of which so much has been written until we reached Atlanta. On the Pullman sleeper we met Mr. C. E. Johnson of Washington, who, as porter gave satisfaction to the patrons. Later we found the veteran divine and race advocate, Bishop H. M. Turner, D. D. He was glad to see us and proceeded to a discussion of the great questions affecting the race. Seated in his study, with the broad expanse of adjoining lots, all belonging to the A.M.F. Church was the distinguished advocate of emigration. A few moments later, Col. W. A. Pledger arrived with a carriage at whose hands we were favored with a most pleasurable drive. THE CONDUCTOR’S DEMAND. The porter, Mr. C. A. Ward, made down our bed. As we sat there, a tall stern-looking conductor entered and called out, “Tickets.” We complied with his request, when he blurted out, “Don’t you know that it is against the laws of Georgia for you to ride in a car with white people?” We replied, “I am an inter-state passenger and am not subject to the local restrictions in Georgia.” The conductor said: “Well, you better go in the other car if you do not want trouble. You will certainly have trouble if you stay in here, and it will be at your own risk.” We made no reply. Shortly afterwards, the Pullman conductor took our tickets and checked them up and in a few moments we went to bed, expecting every minute to be in the trouble of which he had spoken and determined to resist the attempts of lawless parties to deprive us of our rights as an inter-state passenger. From that time onward, we slept as peacefully as though we were resting upon the soil of old Virginia.

There is the color-line with a vengeance.

Two strange white men, one of whom was armed with three pistols, a Winchester rifle and a dirk, visited Morgan Warren’s home near Georgetown, Ga., Monday afternoon, Aug. 28th. They began to denounce southern lynchings, and abused the virtue of southern white women. They refused to leave when ordered away. Warren went to Georgetown and secured assistance to effect their arrest. As the posse returned one of the men arose from ambush and presented his rifle, when he was fired on and instantly killed.

It seems that the Republican managers secured the appointment of three democratic physicians as pension examiners although a colored Republican was an applicant. It is stated that no colored men are employed in the Federal offices there, and that Democrats hold many of the best places there. This is in the keeping with the President’s policy of pacification, superinduced by a desire to secure senatorial votes in support of his Philippine policy. It is enough to make the Angel Gabriel kick much less the earthly colored men of Mississippi. The meeting also criticized the President’s attitude with reference to lynching in the South and called upon the colored Republicans of the North to join with them in defeating him at the polls next year unless he changes his policy. Gov. Candler of Georgia was commended for his recent attitude in dealing with lynch. This is independence with a vengeance. It seems that the colored folks mean business. If the Republican leaders insist upon abandoning the principles of the party, the colored voters will insist upon abandoning them.

Smith, in the Queens County Supreme Court, has denied the application of Mrs. Cisco, a colored woman, for a writ of peremptory mandamus to compel the School Board of Queens to admit all children, irrespective of color, to the public schools of that borough. Attempted to Send Them. Mrs. Cisco testified that she attempted to send her children, who are Negroes, to the Brenton-Avenue School, in Jamaica, but they had been denied admittance by the principal, who ordered her to take the children to the separate school for colored children. In addition, Mrs. Cisco swore that she had made other similar attempts at other public schools with the same result. The woman claimed that the studier in the colored school were not far enough advanced for her children. She was twice arrested for the violation of the school law for not sending her children to school, and each time was acquitted. Judge Smith in his decision says: “The Court of Appeals decided that under the provisions of the common school act of 1884, authorizing the establishment of separate schools for the education of the colored race, the school authorities have the power when, in their opinion, the interests of education will be prompted thereby, to establish schools for the exclusive use of colored children, and when such schools are established and provided with equal facilities for education, to exclude colored children from the school provided for white children. “There is no claim upon the part of the relator that the statute had ever been expressly repealed by implication cannot be seriously entertained.

Borneman (white) proprietor of the Newport News Bakery ran off with George Waddell, a brown-skin colored man who had formerly been employed by her husband. Discharged Him. It seems that Mr. Borneman discharged Waddell, and this brought matters to a focus. She decided to leave him and in company with her colored paramour go north. Close observers have noticed the intimacy existing between Waddell and Mrs. Borneman for some time. Mr. Borneman is said to have followed his erring wife as far as Baltimore, but only caught sight of her at a distance. It is thought that they went to Philadelphia. The madame took with her all of her jewelry and a considerable sum of money. The Two Little Ones. She left behind her here two small children, one of which is a baby. The husband took the matter philosophically and proceeded to employ a lawyer to institute a suit for a divorce. He will have no trouble to obtain it. The town has been considerably stirred up over the affair and the woman is more roundly abused than is the colored man. White Men Wrathy.
