spther at the Willard !iotel. One
evening, seated hy the same ireside,
Mr.. Davis real oud from poit-
ical letter Of Gen. Taylor, and
made rn'ning comments tor Mr.
Foote's delectation, which the latter
tllooght were tr,eul'X,tor demo-
cratic senator to give expression to
in the heat OF a canvass. In iacl,
he int mated quite strongly tltat lie
thought Nlr. Davis, at heart, was d
Taylor man; that spite Of his pro-
tessed support Of tie democratic
nominee, he would secretly rejoice
over Gen. 'i'aylor's election. Mr..
Davis had married daughter Of
Gen. Taylor, and this little circum-
stapce, M:. Foote suggested, was at
the bottom OF his colIeayue's conpii-
meht Of the letter, adding, in his inn
petuons way, thati would doubtless
be very nice thing, after all, to be
a son-il-law Of the President. Nr.
Davis could not brook this sarcastic
intimatioD Of treachery on his part,
and retorted in severe lStguagc,
one word bringing on auotler. until
the grave and reverend" came to
blows. The noise Of the tisticuf'
aroused other Congressman, who
rushed INTO the room and separated
the combatauts, admoniShing them
Of the shame which would attach
to two distinguished senators from
the same state iDdulging III a dis
graceful knock-dowu. This view
OF tie matter naturally brought the
two to terms, and like the man and
wife who ''argned" the question Of
''rat or mouse" they shook hands
and made friends.
"Really," said Mr. Foote, after
smile all around, really, | should
not have thought OF such q thing as
striking Mr.. Davis, if he hadn't
passed the first blow"
care you not mistaken about
that ?" urged Mr.. Davis, apologet-
ically.
"indecd, am not" retorted the
impctuous !''oote.
sit ismy impression you struck
first pleaded Mr., D.
"Oh, 10, it was you."

"And | would swear it wasn't"
"You did strike first"
81 did not strike first"
"You did,

"Yon did"

"Well, said Foote, at last, rising
hastily from his seat, "there shan't
be any dispute aSto who struck first
this time"-and as lie spoke, dealt
Mr.. Davis a singing blow on the
cheek, which resulted in another
recontre, that, but for the inter
sreEce Of mutual friends, might
have been going on until now, for
both were ''game" all over The
question as to who struck first being
thus settled, nothing serious grew
out OF the matter; especially as
either party preferred to have the
matter hustled up speedily as pos
sible.

A FATAL BLOW.
NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-Jacob Schoenvelf a
saloon keeper in Newark, y. j., struck Jacob
Linthle, his cartman, a heavy blow, causing
almost instant death.
1t appears that the trouble in the New York
warehouse and security company arose from
relations with two of its directors. Francis

shepherd Candy, of TO Wall street, both heavy
sugar importers, were directors of the New York

rectors OF the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail.

invested so heavily in this road and elsewhere
that their large resources and excellent credit
could not carry them through, and they there
fore obtained loans from the security cOmpany
and stock and bonds of the latter and other cor
porations The warehouse and security com
pahy, however, had a large amount of paper in
circulation, which was about to mature, and,
unless some Of the loans 10 Messrs. Skiddy and
Candy were taken up, could not meet demands.
Frequent consultations we're had, but without
satisfactory results, as the disOrdered condition
OF the money market and the fact that the
Kansas, Missouri and Texas securities were not
negotiable in Wall street precluded making
loans IN other and less partial quarters. A
meeting of the directors had, therefore, been
called yesterday morning, and it was resolved
to suspend temporarily. and call a meeting of
the creditors on Thursday 10 take action in the
matter. Francis Skiddy is head of the firm OF
