A Melee at Kanawha Fails.

The Charleston West Virginia)
Courier gives an animated account of
a riot which took place last Sunday at
Kanawha Falls, between gang of ne
groes employed on the construction
trains and another gang employed by
contractors on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, who were changing
their base of operations. The reporter
says
After drinking ll,day and indulging
in a few skirmishes, the opposing
forces, frenzied with mean liquor and
inf1amed with jealousy and fancied in
suits, drew up their black columns for a
general engagement. About p. m. the
crisis came and soon the air was
filed with stones, clubs, and missiles
of every kind, which fell in showers
upon the thick craniums of the con-
tending parties. The wool began to
fly, and the drunken yells of victory.
mingled with the groans of defeat and
pain, rendered the scene worthy of
Dante's Inferno-''The colored troops
fought nobly."
The next morning they all returned
to their respective occupations, leaving
no traces behind of the sanguinary
conflict, save about enough wool to
stuff mattrass, and a half b1shel
ears, noses, and fingers, bitten off in
the rage of battle.

Rufus Boyd some years ago married q
daughter of VIM. Lee in this county. His
married life was an unhappy one. His wife
was pure, gentle and ccnfding; he was
wild, reckless and unprincipled. He was
demonstrated with by his father-in-law and
motber-in-lsv, on account of his neglect
and mistreatment of their daughter, and for
their trouble, Boyd attempted 10 reward
them by shooting both in bed. Shortly
after this bis wife died, when he removed
to Missouri where he married again. Rumor
says that he lived unhappily with his last
wife, and rumor even goes 80 far as to allege
that his treatment had more or less to do

stokes-Arrument Opened.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The testimony in
Stokes case was closed this morning and
Mr.. Tremsine for the defense began bis ad-
dress to the jury.
After the recess, Mr.. Tremaine went on
to argue that all Stokes movements proved
the absence Of malice. His only firing two
shots and throwing away the pistol with
two loaded chambers, and his exclamation
and call "doctor, there is man shotl'
were dwelt upon as excluding the idea OF
premediiased design to kill. The counsel
argued that Stokes had nc motive to kill,
but Fisk, who was jealous, had every rea-
son for wanting Stokes out of the way.
The court adjourned after caution to the
jury to refrain as yet from coming to q
conclusion. -

DESTRUCTIVE CONFEDERATION.
Six Acres of Territory Burned Over.
The Work of Incendiaries.
About Eighty Houses in Ruins.


SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 27.-A fire broke
ont In Canastota last night, which was
quenched this morning, after burning over
six acres of territory. destroying three
hotels, thirty-two dwellings and be-
tween forty and fifty places of business.
The total loss is estimated By insurance
agents at $l50,000; total insurance, $90,-
900. The fire was undoubtedly incendisry.
The business portion of the town was ell
destroyed, except the Beecher Block. The
citizsns held meeting tonight and passed
resolutions inviting pecuniary aid of the
charitable everywhere, apd appointing Mr..
D. II. Rasbacbt, Cashier of Conastota
Bank, to receive any contributions. A
committee was also appointed to investi-
gate the cause of such frequent fires.
The fire st CsDastota was first discovered
shortly after midnight in barn in rear of
the Beecher block and adjoining the
Eagle Hotel on Centre street. It
quickly communicated to the hotel and
Spencer's Mandatory Of Optical Instru-
ments, adjoining the post Office. A strong
southern wind prevailed during the fire.
Nortbward the width of the track of fire
was about half block. The flames
swept everything up to Canal, then
leaped over Canal and travelling
on the block on the other side made
the destruction complete. The stores
destroyed were mostly wooden with oeca-
siorally brick building. An engine sent
from Oreida and the Canastota engine
played on the fire but the violence of the
gale, In spite of drenching rain, neutralized
all their efforts. Finally, there being moth
ing more to burn in that direction, the fire
was subdqed. Two hours before discovery of
this fire, barn belonging to the Central
road and used for storing hay was burned.

From the Memphis Register, Oct. 26.
Ths mortuary report for yesterday is still
large; when we consider the diminished
number of our population, 1t is very large.
The number Of sick is great also. The sta
istics show that the pestilenca Is still
slaaghteriDg our people on every hand.
Yet there are some encouraging signs. Out
of near six hundred persons reported sick
BY the visitors Of the Howard Association,
There were but nineteen new cases IN yes
terday's report. The Odd Fellows report
only two new cases; and sll the different
visiting committees report those who are
sick to be doing well. Besides this, the
weather on Thursday and Friday was cold
enough to kill the growth Of the fever, but
yesterday it grew warm towards night, and
after dark we had q heavy, misty fog,
almost rain. If this is followed by an
other cold spell we look confidently for q
speedy abatement Of the scourge. In the
meantime les us work on and trust to God,
who alone can give us full and final relief.
A new feature of the disease has made
It's appearance during the past week. 1t
has assailed the black mantle real Afri-
can-Uith fearful malignity. In o district
where the writer visited yesterday the first
time for week, he found several full blood
ed Africans down with the fever, most of
whom win probably die within q few days.
Heretofore the black skin has seemed to be
like the blood upon the door post, q sure
protection from the scourge. Il is to be
hoped that these people, who are poor and
destitute as mass, may not now fall vic.
Tins to the dread pestilence. They can
take courage because of the lateness of the
season. Weather cold enough to drive the
disease from our midst cannot long be post.
