THE COLOR LINE I Mixed Schools Condemned Under Se- vere Penalties, New Yong, July 17.—|Special Telegram 0 the Beg.|—A dispatch from Atlanta to the "T'ribune, gives the history and significance oI & measure now before the Georgia legisla- ture, the result of which may be to send the teachers of colored children to the chain gang. This bill provides that no school or other educational institution conducted for the education of colored people shall receive @as a pupil any white person, and that no 8chool or educational institution, conducted for the education of white people, shall re- ceiv8 as a pupll any colored person. A viola- tion of,its provisions is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed 1,000, imprisonment not to exceed six months or work In the chain gang not to exceed twelve months, any or all In the discretion of the court. The reason of the bill is found in the followlug facts: In 1867 the American Mis- sionary assoclation founded the Atlanta uni- versity for the education of colored youth, obtaining all money needed to build and maintain the institution from the north, the total sum since 1567 being over three hundred and fifty $housand dollare, For several years there have been a few white lmplln in this school. These were he children of the professors, and in one in- stance the child of a missionary ot the Amer- fcan Mission association. The presence of these white children was due chiefly to the fact that there was no school in” Atianta where the children could receive as thorough training and discipline, and because the sen- timent of the people aganst ‘“‘nigger teach- " was such that to send children 1o white d have been to subject them to insult. When the republican concress granted school lands to the several states, Georeia ‘received $270,000 in serip, which brings the state $16,000 a year. ‘Thls was at first all given to the st university at Athens, with nearly one-half of its state pulation colored. It took the nation’s gift lor the benelit of the whole state, and put it where the colored people could have no share in it whatever, Somebody discovered that this was clearly a misappropriation ot funds, and the state at once took great credit to itself by appropriating half of the suin for the education of the colored peo- le and giving it to the At- anta university. although the money 18 the gift of the United States, 1t is always spoken of as a state appropriation. Now the state suddenly opens its eyes to the fact that 1n this institation, built and fllx’) orted by the north and receiving only one-third of its cur- rent expenses from the state_of a national ift for education, a few white children are Ing educated, and it is to set the seal of condemnation on any such mixture of schol- ars that a measure worthy of the dark ages has been introduced in the legislation. prriditels Siobtadn British Politics. LoNDON, July 10.—The cabinet met again to-day to discuss the amendments to the land bill offered by the liberal unionists. The election in Basinstoke, dlvision of Hamp- shire, to fill the vacancy caused bi; the eleva- tion to the peerage of G, Sckatter Booth, con- servative, was held to-day. Jeffreys, con- servative, was elected, securing 3,358 votes against 2,426 for the liberal candidate. The conservative vots shows a falling off of 600 and the liberal vote a zain of 100 compared with the election of 1856, ‘The Marquis of Salisbury informed the as- semblage that the differences between the lib- eral-unionists and the government regarding the land bill had been satisfactorily adjusted, concessions having been made which re- moved the chief objections which had beeun entertained by Chamberlain and his friends. ‘The government - had also decided to authorize the land commissloners to re- consider within a certain period the rents of holdings proved to have been effected by the fall in prices of rrud\lm and cattle. The meeting favored the early prorozation of arliament, expediting the passage of the and bill and allotments bill, and the devo- tion of the remainder of the session to the consideration of the supply bill, so that ad- ionmmnn might take place not later than he third week in August. Sir James Fergzuson, parllamentary secre- tary of the foreign office, stated in the house of commons this afternoon that the anestion of the assent of the powers to the election of Prince Ferdinand to the Bulgarian throne would not arise until after the sultan had sanctioned his election, and the sultan’s sanction had not yet been given. Concerning the Anglo-Turkish Efivn_ll-n convention Sir James said no negotiations were proceeding, and it was unlikely that the suspended negotlations would be soon resumed, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, Brit- ish ancInl envoy, not having given Eng- 1and’s ratification, no withdrawal of the rati- fication could take place. ‘The house of commons went formally in a body to the house of lords this afternoon, ‘where the royal assent was given to the Irish crimes act amendment bill, and it was thus made the law of the realm.

LoNDON, July 19.—The speeches at the Carleton club meeting to-day show much frictlon between the government and the unionists. A crisis was narrowly averted. A racurrence of the trouble is probable, there be!m}la strong feeling among the tory rank and file that the government has coneeded too much to the unlonists, The unionist sub-committee held a meeting in the com- mons to-night and anproved the concessions made by the conservative meeting at the Carlton club.

Maggie Lovlitts Arrested in This Oity ‘By the Bheriff From Obadron. ATTACKED WITH A KNIFE. Two Italians A It a Man For Nip- ping a Peanut—Wanted For Oriminal Libel-The City Council, Arrested Kor An Old Crime, For a few wecks past Sherift Monnell, of Chadron, Dawes county, has been in in the city quietly on the scent of the principals ot a murder committed in that region over a year ago. Asa trophy of his visit he took buck with him yester- | day Maggie Lovlitts, the alleged female accomplice of the murderer Thompson, Miss Lovlitts was employed as a waiter in a restaurant here, and the arrest was made so quietly that none were aware of her reasons for quitting the place. Thompson has been seen once in Couneil Bluffs since Sheriff Monnell's arrival here, but as nothing has been seen of him since it is thought that he has taken alarm and is either secreted or has fled for safer quarters. The victim of the murder was formerly a citizen of Chadron, who had moved into the Niobrara valley in_the southern hart of the same county. He lived alone in a cabin for several months and it was known that he had considerable money. One a neighbor happened into his lonely cabin and was shocked to find the dead body of the owner festering with decay. The bullet holes in the body and the disordered state of the cabin teld only too plainly of the final desperate struggle between the murderers and their victim. The rummaged condition of the place and the failure to lind any of the murdered man’s valuables gave a clew to the mercenary motives that prompted the murder. The crime createda groat deal of excitement in Dawes and the sur- rounding counties, and if the murderers could have been cap- tured it was freely admitted that Judge Lynch was the only suitable mag- istrate before whom such n heinous deed should be tried. About this time it was noticed that Thompson and Miss Lovlitts, who had been on the most intimate terms, had suddenly disappeared. Sus- picions were immediately fastened upon them as the perpetrators of the crime, Subsequent developments confirmed these suspicions, and the matter was placed 1 the hands of the proper of- ficers. The officers have pushed the in- vestigation with the greatest caution and vigilance, but have been continually foiled in all their attempts to dis- cover the whereabouts of the guilty pair, until within the last few weeks, when & clue was discovered which by skiliful handhing resulted in the capture of Thompson's accomplice, Miss Lovlitts, as above stated. The crafty Thompson, however, has defied the vigilance and craftiness of the offi- cers, and Sheriff Monnell has tempor- arily returned to Chadron. STABBED FOR A PEANUT. An Iltalian Thrusts a Dagger Into Jacob Darr. Yesterday afternoon as Jacob Darr, an expressman, was passing by the fruit stand on the corner of Thirteenth and Harney streets, he plucked a peanut from the stand and passed on. This en- raged the proprietors, Louis Farlin and Louis Roman, and armed with a hatchet and dagger respectively, they started in pursuit of Darr. Some words passed be- tween the three which resulted in Farlin stabbing Darr in the thigh. The patrol wagon was sent for and both persons were carried to the police station. Dr. Ralph, the city physician, was sum- moned, and upon probing the wound found it reached clear to the bone, and may cause Darr considerable trouble be- fore it is healed. The wound was vrop- erly dressed and Darr was taken to his home. Meanwhile Roman, Farlin's partner, was notified by the police to close updis stand, and he, too, was ar- rested and lodged with his murderous partner in the city prison. The affair created considerable excitement, and among the large crowd that gathered on the scene were a number of Itahans. One of these began disputing with a policeman concerning the assault, and becoming detiant and noisy, he too, was hurried off to join his fellow countrymen behind the bars. CRIMINAL LIBEL. A Rerald Man to Be Arrested on That Charge. A warrant was issued yesterday after- noon for the arrest of J. C. King, of the Herald, on a charge of criminal libel pre- ferred by Isaac Brown. King is sup- posed to be the man who wrote the highly sensational and poorly substantiated ar- ticle which appeared several mornings ago und which accused Brown of being the head of an organized gang of thieves. By an understanding the warrant was held uatil to-day when King will appear with his bonds- men and dispose of the preliminaries An effort was made last might by W ham N. King, an advertising man on the World, and the complainant to have the warrant served on the grounds that King was going to jump the city. As it was believed to be prompted from per- sounal feeling and the police felt assured that King could be found at any time, the paper was not served. It was be- lieved to be rrompwd by a desire to have King locked up over night. Several other suits will doubtless follow Brown's against the Herald, occasioned by the lack of discrimination between news and nonsense which caused the sensational article, > SEPTEMBER'S GALA WEEK. Such Will be the One in Which the Omaha Fair is to be Held. The coming session of the Omaha Fair and Exposition association, which com- mences September 6 and continues to the 10th inclusive, Secretary McShane says will surpass anything of the kind ever held in the state of Nebraska. He and his corps of clerks are kept well oc- cupied these days answering correspond- ence from all varts of this and the sur- rounding states, and the interest in the great autumnal show seems to be more widespread and general than the man- agement even dared hope for. The ex- bibits in agriculture will be of an ex- traordinary character, while the stock departments will be filled as they never were before. The speed ring, which is always paramount to all other features, will be extremely attractive. There are already fifty entries for the different classes, embracing the best known horses of the whole west. The entries in the colt stakes, which are always of the most conspicuous interest to local horse breeders, far exceed those of any former years; in fact, more than double them. It should not be forgotten, either, that during the same week of the fair the soldiers and sailors of Nebraska, will hold their an- nual reunion here, which will go far to- ward enhancing the pleasureable excite- ment of the ocoasion. The soldiers and sailors will hold their gathering on beau- tiful and picturesque grounds,but a quar- ter of & mile from the fair fihoundl 80 visitors can kill two birds w! [y n(n(lo stone, by taking in both greatshows each di ay. Xu far as the fair is ‘concerned, it can- not fail of being a 'great success—appli- cations for space are coming in numer- ously every day, and the number of ex- hibitors will be three-fold greater than ever before. However, the merchants, business-men, maunfacturers and slm':- men of Omaha should manifest the heartiest appreciationiof this mammoth enterprise, and lend éfery assistance in the way of exhibiting their goods and decorating their places of business dur. ing the fair. With the combined aid of these, the exposition , will indeed be a glittering success. - Buildings on the grounds are all being cleaned up, re- paired and put in first-class shape, and there is no doubt that every detail will be in readiness for one of the grandest fairs and expositions of the day. Council Proceedings. T'he city council met 1n regular session last night. The meeting was featureless, nothing but routine business being transacted and the body adjourning be- foro ordinances on their passage had been reached. The gas inspector reported upon the quality of gas furnished by the gas com- pany and said the only complaint which could be made was that occasionally the gas was smoky. Otherwise it was above the standard. Mr. Manville introduced a resolution that in yiew of the injunc- tion case now pending in the courts the city clerk bo instructed to have all city printing done at the Republican oftice The resolution was not in Mr. Manville's handwriting and = was probably drawn up in the oflice of the Republican. 1t was adopted by the com- bine vote. Mr., Keirstead introduced a resolution to the effect that the official advertising continue in the Beg until a new contract could be drawn up and ap- proved. It was tabled by 11 to 6, seven- teen members being present. Mr. Has- call of the judiciary committee returned the Moynihan *‘protective night watch” ordinance with the recommendation that it be acted on_at the present moeting, As the council adjourned before any or- 0s were passed the ‘‘protective watch' scheme is not as yet foisted upon the people. After further routine busi- ness the council adjourned. A Broken Arm. The arm of Adam McClure, an em- vloye of the Model steam laundry, was caught and broken in the machinery of the collar machine yesterday. The belt- ing had slipped from the wheel of the shaft, and in attempting to replace it while in motion, his hand hand was caught in the belting, and his arm was twisted around the shaft, breaking the bone. By the promp* assistance of his tellow employes the machine wasstopped and further injury avoided. MeClure was taken to his home, the bone was set, and if inflamation does not set in, the physician in attendance says he will be ;fly e to return to hiswork in a week or WO. —s— A Den! and Offer, OMAHA, July 19.—T0 the Editor of the Bek: Relative to an_ sdrticle which ap- peared in yesterday morning’s issue of the BeE stating a Mr. Jones, of Blair, had theatre and been re- lieved of $30 in hard cash, please do us the justice to state that we knew nothing of it until we saw it inprint, and if Mr. Jones was robbed in our place we will give $100 for the arrest and conviction of the man who robbed him, and make good to Mr. Jones his $30., Yours very truly, CoLE & PAnisH, Prop’s Olympic Theatre.

A rumor prevailed yesterday evening that a serious accident had occurred at the Unmion Pacific road, near Grand Island, whereby it was alleged that loss of life varying from one to five persons, had taken place. Reports were very un- satisfactory so far as details were con- cerned, but the names of Engineers Joe O'Brier and Charles Conners were men- tioned as involved in the wreck. A BEe reporter interviewed the night train dis- patcher at the depot with regard to the rumor, and was ingmnell that the story was a canard, e Arrested For Forgery. » On complaint of Judge Weiss, Jacob Peterson was arrested by Officer Hinchey, yesterday, on the charge of forgery.

July 19, 1837, To the carpenter con- tractors of the city of Omaha, gentlemen At a meeting called by the journeymen carpenters for the purpose of adj hours of labor and wages between jour- neymen and contracting carpenters, you entered into an engreement with the jnurns{mon carpenters of this city on the 13th day of June, 1887, to the effect that nine “hours do constitute a day’s work for five days and eight houars con- stitute aday's work on Saturday with the same ll’m“{ per day, and additional pay and a half for all over time, and that thirty cents per hour be paid to all com- petent carpenters and joiners. The journeymen on their r:\rt agreed that tho contractors should have the right to pay men according to their ability, provided they paid thirty cents to competent carpenters. This™ agree- ment was signed by the following tirms in their own handwriting and is now in our possession: John W. Gwin, T. H. Smith, William Emerson, J. B, Tyrrell, J. A. Hazell, James Griflith, Hamilton & Woolley, Simmons, Reeves & Company, Shaw & Field, A. W. Phelps & Son, L. N. Bennett, Norling & Reynolds, Macleod, B. M. Nicolson, James, Rich- ards & Co,, ‘Arthur & Herd, Moyer & icks, H. 3. Brown, Davis & ‘Hedding, r, R. Stevens & Son, G. M. ck, Cl Gerald, E.J. Corey, John H. Harte, George Waddell, J. G. Sali berry, A. Moyer, James Haynes, Geo. C Allen, Laty & Benson, Peter Sperlin J. Weeda, M. T. Murphy, B. Jobst, layson & Nobles, Chas. A’ Nelson. Every contractor spoken to by the committee of journeymen, who had not signed, agreed to the system except T. B. Bray- ton and Councilman Consman who em- ploy eight or ten men eachand are going to discontinue the business. With a view of making your agrecment universal you called a mecting of contractors on the 15th day of July and permitted several incompetent and irresponsible parties to itroduce resolutions to alter your docu- ment in such manner as to change its nieaning in every particular. ntlemen you have allowed yourselves to drift into disreputable company and are being misled by several by mistatements on the part of members of your fraternity with whom we will have nothing to do under any circumstance. Moreover you ignored the committee sent by the journeymen carpenters to adjust differences, should their be any. The following are the resolutions you published over your signature: Whereas, We, the master carpenters, hay- ing ascertained by a committee appointed for that purpose, that a majority of master carpenters still work their men ten hours, but Resolved, That we consider said agroe- ment null and void and adopt the following resolution: Resolved, By the undersigned, that nlne hours be considered a day’s work for all working days of the week at a uniform rate of thirty cents per hour for first-class car- penters and no distinction be nade between union ana non-union men, master carpen- ters reserving the right to grade their mnen aceording to their ability. Men will be paid for the number of hours they work and no more, It is further understood by the master carpenters that any journeyman carpen- ter leaving his present employer because of this resolution will not be employed by any of the undersigned master car- penters, but said journeyman must re- turn to his former employer. Now, you say that your committee (which consisted of only one active mem- bnerx J. C. Gladden), ascertained that a majority of master carpenters still con- tinue to work their men ten hours. This statement is false and was the first step by which you were misled. Another thing, the journeymen do not consider u large portion of the self-styled master carpenters compentent and_re- liable contractors. For instance, 3. Gladden your secretary who has liens tiled 1n the clerk’s oflice of the county court house against work done by him last season and the year previous on eleven jobs to the amount of §8,009.82, and who it appears does not have many friends among the journeymen car- penters, nor does he stand in good repute among the contractors, except when he is engaged in such devilish work as draft- ing resolutions such as appeared in the daily papers Inst week, It isa pity that the contractors who assembled in that hall could not or did notelect a secretary and committeaman with a better record a8 a mechanic and contractor than J. C. Gadden. A representative of another class of so- called master carpenters is T, B. Brayton who has taken work 1n Contyes’ addition tor $4,600 which was estimated by relia- ble contractors to cost $6,000 and over. ‘This is by far the largest class in opposi- tion to any thing which will be the least benetfit to that labor, which is in fact, the only capital of the master carpenter, Further, the carpenters have reason to beliave that a number of proud, arrogant and unscrupulous contractors are en- deavoring to create dissensions between honorable and well meaning contractors and the men 1n their employ. To be a master carpenter 1s one who has learnod the trade of carpenter ana joiner, and who knows how to work at the business himsclf. A contractor is one who has the business ability to con- tract for work successfully. It is a well known fact .that with but few exceptions all reliable and honorable contractors have worked their men nine hours a day and eight hours on Satur- day from the Oth day of July Among these exceptions are J. F. Coots and A, Rosenberry, and we have reason to believe that if it had not been for the high-handed intermeddling of one Wied- ner, known aa the bookkeeper at Rosen- berry’s mill, many of these dissensions would not have occurred. You say also that 80 cents per hour will be paid to first- class earpenters. You agreed to pay 30 cents to competent men. First-classis a higher grade than the ordinary compe- tent carpenter. It appears that you in- tend to go back on your word to that ex- tent, Vgnile itis customary for you to es- timate the value of a building, you ulso by custom nsTme the right to place a value on the Journcyman carpenter who performs the labor on that building, and Just in proportion as you insist on these rights the carpenter loses his individual riizht to estimate the value of the labor which he performs, and though you may, and possibly have the right, by “force o circumstances, to consider your part of that agreement null and void, is it just to the men in your employ, who are en- deavoring to abide b‘r their part, that you now a nl)t resolu- tions changing the whole or part in such manner that it is meaningless altogether? You yourselves inserted the tune and a half in the agreement to pro- tect the nine hour contractor, and now you consider it null and void. For what purpose? X Did we ever ask you to discriminate in favor of our union exm?)t to recognize it as a representative body of journeymen carpenters? ‘Lhe last clanse of your olution is an_infamous threat of a black iist, an insult to the independent Amer- ican mechanie, gotten up in an arrogant manner for the purpose of coercion, and you, gentlemen, in your simplioity and ignorance, have been induced to appear a8 voucher for such sentiments, The Journeymen carpenters met you in a spirit of concession and fairness, willing to forego their just demands and forget the many abuses to which their trade has long been subjected in order that the building interests of the city might not suffer, and this is the resnlt. Many hon- orable contractors were willing and are now ready to abide by their ngn'umlunl. ooliey, Among these are Hamilton & V James - Griftith, Joseph Haynes, George Waddell, - Dodaid - Noblos, - Simone, Reeves & Co., and ninetoen others whose names were not allowed to appear on these last resolutions. Thcre are msns others among you who have been cajole and browbeaten by disroputable and dise honest mon, who assume to call them- selves master carpenters, into the adop- tion of what they please to call a nine- hour rule, which leaves it optional for them to continue to rob the men in their employ. Many contractors on last Sat- urday and Monday discharged a portion of their men because they would not romise to work nine hours on Saturday. Many others refused to employ certain journeymen beeause they had left their former employer. Still others threat- ened their men with a general lockout. Are these honorable means to establish a universal nine-hour rule? To elevate the journeyman carpenter? And harmonize the building interests of the city, Do you know that if you order a lockout you will be the only ones out of a job? Can vou not form # carpenter contrso- tors' association which will be an honor to the craft, a benelit to 1‘0111’3!’1“‘5 and a protection to the building interests of the eity without bulldozing the labor by which " you have been able to gain a live- lihood. Are you not able to regulate matters among yourselves to the end that fair prices will be paid for good work, and the wood butcher carpenter will be discarded? Is it not possible for employer and em- Pluyu to work in harmony without black- ist or boycott? Now, then, in view of the action you that you have taken, be it Resolved, By the journeymen earpenters in spocial meeting assembled that we abide by and shall enforce the agreement entered into on June 13, 1857, ‘That nine hours constitute a day's work and eight hours on Saturday, for same pay per day and 30 cents be the standard pay for competent carpenters, Time and a half shall be paid tor overtimo. h’LIml this rule shalt stand until January 1, By order of Carpenter’s U 271 of the Brotherhood of America, ANAMOSA ITEMS, Trial--Re on 58 and penters of An Interesting t on markable Cures. ANAMOsA, Ta., July 1 [Correspond- ence of the Bee.]—John Green, proprie- tor of the stone quarries at Stone City, tour miles east of here, has a peculiar case in court that will decide a point of law now in doubt. Mr. Green's agent in New York City hired and sent to Stone City five stone cutters, paying their rail- road fare, hotel bills aud express charges on their kit of toois, amounting in ail to over $115. Whon the men arrived at their destination they utterly refused to go to work for Mr. Green, whereupon the latter had them arrested for obtain- ing money under false pretenses, but failed to hold them under that charge. He has now taken a new tack and pro- poses to attach their tools and it 1s cre- ating a great deal of incerest. The men have a great many friends here and Mr. Green has plenty of money.

An assembly of the Knights of Labor has recently been organized at this place with a large membership. The crops in this county look fine with the exception of wheat, which is almost a total failure, and mnnly farmers have cut it and used it tor fodder for their stock, the chinch bugs being the cause. Wheat will heve to be imported for home consumption, During the last five days the therinometer has ranged from 100° to 1129 in the shade, consequently the crops need rain very badly, asthe ex- trem, heat crisps up the leaves.
