DANGEROUSLY STABBED.-Abour seven
o'clock last evening difficulty took place
on Calliope street, between Carondelet and
Baronne streets, between two men named
Bob Daniels and Perry Jones, in which the
latter was stabbed in the back OF the head
and in the right arm, and severely wounded.
1t appears that Bob Daniels, VIII, was con-
siderably under the influence of liquor, er.
tered the grocery store of Mrs. Foley to re-
new difficulty he had had with young
man, the son of Mrs. Foley, and not finding
him in, commenced to insult and abuse Mrs.
Foley. Jones was in the store at the time.
and seeing that the lady was alone, stepped
up to Daniels and asked him very politely
not to carry ON in that way. Daniels an.
ewered that it was none of his business,
and walked out of the store. In few
minutes Jones left tho store to go home,

the Wilmington Post Of the eighth says:
THE RESULT OF THE VOTE.
The returns are no: yet all 10. much less
the official returns. but enough ls known to
determine the complexion of the cOnven-
tion. The anti-conventionists have control
of il. The people did not have the oppor-
tunity to meet the naked question, but were
obliged to express their opposition to the
measure by electing delegates who were
opposed TO it. thus embarrassing the real
question with the pre- udices OF local poll
tics and person Il preferences. And still,
under these difficult circumstances the
measure ma. been defeated. 1t ia probable
that the vote for immediate adjournment
will under the circumstances be nearly
unanimoua. and there wall. indeed. ia mo

We reserve until q later day comment
upon the results of this great appeal to the
people. merely remarking now that the
door has evidently been opened to fairer
and more liberal treatment of public affairs.
For the first time latterly many Democrats
have jumped the party traces and defied
the party lash. There has been long step
toward personal independence among the
masses OF the people, and these old chrys
ta!!zatiOns OF pref ldice and party tyranny
show signs of dissolution. The stamp OF
disapprobatiOn mas been put upon the
schemes of party cliques, and the go-bg has
heen given to those leaders who have go
long misled the people against their real in
terests. We thank the laboring masses OF
the State for thus standing up in defiance
OF intimidation in resistance to this al
tempted invasion of them.
The solidity with which the national Re-
publican vote Of the State was thrown is
most gratifying, and the calm determine
ton with which the party fell into line
shows that we need hereafter have NO tears

Gladst0ne's Latcsf.

A London dispatch of the eleventh to the
American Press Association says:
Gladstone has published another DAM
pniet. IN which he discusses q new question
relative to Papacy, which formed The ami
Ject OF his former pamphlet On "Vatican-
ISM" The present publication takes the
same strong grounds against Papacv, aud
predicts trouble in the future, both in Great
Britain and on the continent. from this
source. The pamphlet declares that Papacy
will seize the first opportunity through
bloodshed to maintain its rule, and will, If
necessary. plunge the world into war. The
new document of the ex-premier is much
discussed, and is calculated to revive the
religious conflict raised by his first effort on
this important subject.
The French government has prohibited
the sale OF Gladstones publication against
Papacy.

mans euspiciens were aroused. He in.
stantly saluted Mr.. Lassero, and asked him
if he knew who he was with. The grocery
keeper hesitated q moment, and then de-
clared both men we're really strangers to him.
Francisco theyeupon arrested the strangers
but one OF them. ,all fellow. jumped and
mana ged to escape. but the small one. who
gives his pane as Manuel Coma les, was
held. The grocery man was questioned
concerning the affair. when ne related that
the foreigners had called at his store and
represented themselves as strangers. from
Italy. having plenty Of gold coin. but as
they were entirely ignorant OF our currency
wished to coufide in tina honesty OF some
BODY who would deal honestly by them.
Gonzales, had several twenty dollar gold
pieces. and said hs had about $2ooO IN
all. which he weuld gladly exchange
for paper money at consderab le discount.
Mr.. I4assero, willing to speculate. told Con
zsles tina, he would purchase al! his gold,
and the three men started oft, the int ended
yictim taking his bank book to get the
greenbacks. 1t was whom they we're Oh tho
way that Officer Frapcisc0's wit and wiz
dom did good service. The moment that
the grocer was posted no used every effort
to assist the Metropolitan. While on tho
road to police headquarters they we're met
BY SOD of MI. +. Yerges. who recognized
Gonzales as the man who had played fine
confidence game on his father about year
ago. This .ascai had visited Mr.. Verges,
representing himself as lately arrived from
Italy with abundance of coin. but did not
understand the value OF our currency: that
is, he had $500 in gold. This he would
like 10 have changed into greepbacks,
which Mr.. Vefges was ready to do. After
partaking of fsv drinks Gonzales left,
verges to pu. the coin and
paper money safely away together, until
the next day. when he would return and
the transaction. Gonzales re-
turned thu following day, but had COM
Darion with him. Tho fact that the
stranger had trusted him to such extent.
allsyed all suspicions that Mr..
Verges might haso entertained. Gonzales
hnd his friend left the store two or three
times each. to 60 to tho rear, and finally
b 9th took a sudden departure. saying that
thsy would aeturR soon. At night they did
not appear and when Mr.. Verges locked for
his wealth. he discovered that gold and
had been stolen. but ne never
heard anything more OF the Italia rs until
Gonzales is also recognized as the man
who rhiseled Frenchman on Roman [

found in his pocket. He was taken before
