morning.

This morning about half-past three O'Clock,
the tobacco establishment of Messrs. Abra-
ham Gumberts and John S. McCracken, on
Main street, southeast side, between Sd and
4th, took fire. The alarm WAS given, but it
being an hour when people were all asleep,
there was some delay in getting help
The steam 6re-engine stretched her hose
from her engine-house (three squares near
ly) and put on big stream. Several other
engines came to the rescue, and the flames
were quelled after mostly destroying the
contents of the building The FIRE did not
spread. The loss seemed to be total when
we left the scene, at five o'clock. We do
not know the amount of loss, but it must be
very severe, as the proprietors carried on a
large tobacco business.

lishment, next to the burned tobacco store,

Last night about midnight, a tragedy
was enacted in this city that probably was
never equaled for deadly effects, ferocity,
aud unnatural hate. We have time only
for hasty account of It.
A fierce feud has long existed between two
brothers named John Paul Evans and Robt
NJ. Evans, members of an old and we'll
known family of this city. Their grand
father laid out the town. of Evansville
They have made several attempts heretofore
on each others lives. z,~
Robert went to ball at Mozart Hall yes
terday evening with lady. Over hun
bred people were there. About midnight
Paul came in, intoxicated. He walked up
to his brother and asked him to drink. His
brother refused whereupon Paul drew
knife, seeing which, Robert drew a six
shooter. Paul stepped back and drew
six-shooter Robert drew knife and put
it between his teeth and commenced firing.
Paul returned the fire, and each fred six
shots, and then closed and used their knives
They were MORALLY wounded. .rr
Paul started for the front door and went
out; was followed and brought back and
died in twenty minutes. He was shot in
the upper part of the breast and cut several
times in the abdomen.
Robert, when Paul left the room, follow
ed him as far as the inside door, where he
fell, struck the wall, and skinned his face.
He was carried to a temporary couch, and
lay insensible nearly three hours, when he
also died. He was shot through the left
lobe of the brain and in the right side be-
meath the ribs. They both seemed to die of
inward bleeding.
During the encounter, younger brother,
Berry, shot three balls at Paul, one of
which it is said hit him. Solomon Gum
berts, son of Simon Gumberts, bystand-
err, was accidentally shot by one of the ran~
dom balls in the right thigh, the bullet mar
rowly missing the femoral artery. His con-
dition is serious.
Such a scene as was presented when the
writer reached the Hall, may be never again
behold. The two brothers lay there within
a few feet of each other, cold and pale in
death, bloody and CHASTITY, marred by frat
ricidal wounds. The floor near the scene of
combat was covered with gore, and the
plastering pitted with bullet-dents. Gath
cred around were groups of men, some with
/ tears glistening in their eyes, " although I'M
used to the melting mood
1t was providential that no more persons
were hurt. Fifteen shots were fired reck-
lessly in a room crowded with men and
women
1t is rumored that German was arrested
for firing at one of the combatants during
the melee. We know nothing of the truth
of this.
The widowed mother and the brothers OF
these unfortunate men are overwhelmed
with grief. May God help them
We have "supped full Of horrors and
have no heart to write more.
The Coroner's inquest will he held this
morning.

We are confident the mechanics of our
