possible to get the steamer 10 any available point
III uGlore the nre had been eNtinguished ut the

(the AIR drawing TO the east.) As soon as IL was
possible, the hose were directed to the Sc
coma 1re, when. aftei they had brought
!ne hre into their CONTROL the suction hose burst
Ia the centre, and there heing no telling what

1t was hardly TO be expected that such a jump
ing market as characterized the first few days
OF the month would not be attended with reac-

has not been larger. 1t is generally admitted

Two Brothers Hacking Each Other
with Knives.

IOIu iuc FREE Press.
New Years night a family named Schrode.
living over store on Gratiot street, met to
have visit and a supper. One of the sons
ton, and another named Charles on Catharne
street, the former being married and the latter
single. Between the two brothers there has
been bitter feud for two years past resulting
from an unsatisfactory division of money re-
ceiyed from some relative in Germany. They
had not spoken for year until the other night
and then they merely recognized each others
presence. The father and mother, anxious to
have the difficulty adjusted and to see the
brothers on friendly terms, opened the old sub
iect after supper, and in five minutes the two
men were ready TO murder one another. Neither
would listen to reason, and finally they attacked
each other. Both seemed to have come prepared
for an encounter. as one had a dagger or spring
knife, and the other n large pocket knife, with
the big blade sharpened for pruning.
The father seized one and the mother the
other, but the Infatuated men soon released
themselves, the father receiving a cut in the
chin, and the mother one on the hand. The
brothers turned the table over as they fought,
and the father ran fc/ help to part them, but
during the brief BATH hey fought to kill. Al
bert received seven different stabs and cuts, the
worst one being cut extending from the left
shoulder nine inches across the back. The others
wounds were not severe. He received three
cuts on the face, inflicted in as many ATTEMPTS
to reach his throat. He was able TO walk out
and procure surgical assistance, but Albert is
stlH lying in the house and will be for some DAYS
to come. One of his wounds was below the knee
and another on top or his head, showing that
the men used their knives whenever they could
reach each other.
