AFFRAYS.
stabblng on the hevec "A Cutting
Affair on the Steamer Lady

Affair on the Steamer Lady
Yes. erdny afternoon q serious aiIray
occurred between two neeroes employed
in disebnrgug freight from tie st. Louis
wharfboat A disagreement about some
trivial matter resulted in blows, and
blows were succeeded by the production
of dangerous looking knife by one Of
them, who stabbed the other in the
stomach. The wounded man fell, dan.
gerously cut, and the other ran. Up to
noon to-day he had not been heard from.
The wounded negro was taken to the
city hospital for treatment The affair
originated and was over in a moment,
and the police could obtain no clue as to
the whereabouts of the author of the
wound.
Solomon Williams, cabin boy, and
Monroe Jones (both colored) cook, on
the steamer Lady, quarreled during the
last trip of that steamer. That night,
after Jones had gone to bed, Williams
came to his bunk and endeavored to re-
move the covering. Jones resisted the
effort, when Williams drew a knife and
stabbed him in the hand and arm. The
noise attracted some OF the other hands,
and Williams was prevented from in.
ficting more dangerous wounds, Upon
the arrival of the steamer here yester-
day evening officer LeOhy was notified
of the occurrence. he arrested Will
liams and conveyed him to the station
house, whence he will doubtless be taken
to-day and regularly committed for trial.

New DRUG FIRM.-We would call the
special attention Of our readers to the
advertisement to be found in another
column of to.day's paper, of the new
firm of j. B. WATSON & Co., who have
bought out the'large and well known
drug house, No. 3lS Main street. The
new firm hold out the greatest induce
ments that can be offered to their old
friends and the public generally. The
card, however, speaks for itself. But we
would add that in connection with the
principal of this house is associated our
old and popular druggist, II. F. Farms
worth, who has for so many years con-
Quoted the drug business in this city.
Mr. Farnsworth's name and character
as druggist of long and tried
experience is so familiar and well
known to every one that any enco-
miums we might pass upon him would
be superfuous. 1t will, no doubt,
be pleasing to many of his old and
tried friends, to see his familiar face be-
hind the counter and prescription case
again, where he, for q number Of years
before the war, conducted so successfully
the same business. Also Mr. John Rea-
kirt, one of the former partners, may be
found at the same place, always ready
to meet his friends and former patrons.
Mr. Reakirt's reputation as a gentleman
and thorough practical druggist is
well and favorably known in both this
city and Cincinnati, where he, in con-
nection with the firm of j. & c. Reakirt,
have, for so many years, carried on a
most successful business in the drug line
We bespeak for this house a liberal
share of the trade in their line of bust
ness, and we are very sanguine they will
