ARRAY Between Congressional Gandi-

RICHMOND, October 81 During a polit>
ical discussion yesterday at King William
Courthouse, between Hon j. b. Sener. the
Republican candidate for recollection to Com
gress in the First District, and Mr. B. B.
Douglass, the Conservative nominee for the
same position. an ARRAY occurred which re-
suited in serious injury to Mr.. Sener, he hav.
ing one of his arms badly broken and being
otherwise hurt. 1t is stated that the diff
Guilty originated in some remark by Mr. sener
in reference to Congressman Beck. of Ken,
lucky, which was corrected by Mr.. Douglass.
Other words of an insulting character we're
interchanged, when Mr. Douglass threw
glass tumbler at Mr.. Seuer aud melee ensued.
The crowd rushed upon the platform, and in
the scuffie Mr. Sener received the bad treat.
ment above mentioned 1t is also stated that
Mr.. Sener subsequently apologized t. Mr..
Douglass for the insulting words used
Later. Reports regarding the affair are
conflicting. Some have it that Sener received
his injuries mainly by being pushed or fall
ing off the platform during the scuffie, while
again it is styled brutal affair A card
is published by Sener in which he claims to
have been set upon and beaten by numbers
of supporters of his opponent, to such ex-
tent that he is now confined to his bed with
his face badly bruised and his left arm broken
in two places

"The body of Lady Dixie. who died five
weeks ago in London, was burned OF the 10Th

formed in the furnace recently invented for
burial purposes by Herr Siemens, and the
relatives of the deceased lady permitting
strangers to be present. large number of
scientific men attended the experiment -
When she company had complied with Herr
siemens' request to offer ups mental prayer,
the coffin was placed in the chamber of the
furnace; six minutes later the coffin burst :;
five minutes more and the flesh began to melt
away; ten minutes more and the skeleton was
laid bare; another ten minutes and the bones
began to crumble. Seventy five minutes after
the introduction OF the coffin into the furnace.
all that remained of Lady Dixie and the coffin
were six pounds of dust. placed in an urn. The
