The Spring trotting and pacing meet

race to harness, for $4,000, between
Defiance, formerly a PAGER, and Abe
Edgington, OF Virginia, Nevada. The

tested, Defiance winning the first and
third heats, in 2:24H and 2:29, and
Edgington the second, fourth and fifth
in 2:262. 1926 and 2:25. The first and
fifth heats were trotted without a skip
by either.

A FIGHr BETWEEN EDIToRs.-The
telegraph brings intelligence of a
bloody fight between two editors in
Leavenworth City. The difficulty
grew out of a dispute about matters
connected with the Typographical
Union, but full particulars are not Civ
en-. Col. Anthony, of the Times, is
supposed to have been MORALLY
wounded. The wounded man is a
brother of Susan B. Anthony. Col.
Anthony opened hostilities by strik-
ing Embry, of the Appeal, In the face,
when the latter Immediately proceed
ed to fire three shots at his assailant.
Strange as it may appear, when tho
%provocation is considered, Embry is
alluded to as an assassin. We can't see
it in that light.

Work TO BE- REsUMED.-We observe
by some of the papers in the western
part of the State that work is shortly
to be resumed on the new State prison
at Reno, notwithstanding the failure Of
the appropriation for that purpose in
the last Legislature. There remains
unexpended something like $4,000,
which the commissioners have doubt
less determined to eXpend on the Reno
prison. After putting III that amount
this Summer, they can very conven
iently run the fund in debt toran equal
amount next, and in this way have the
new prison nearly completed by the
next meeting of the Legislature. So,
after all the rumpus, Reno is destined
to get away with the prison. Satisiac-
tory.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE All EBER-

Most OF the Town Destroyed.

We received last evening the follow
ing dispatch from Hamilton:
HAMILTON, Nev., May II.
a most disastrous fire occurred this
afternoon about 3 o'clock, at Eber-
hardt, destroying almost the entire
business portion of that place. II was
first discovered inan unoccupied build
ing which has recently been used as Il
storehouse. The flames spread rapid
w. but by almost superhuman exer-
ton it was checked at Jelleson's butch
er shop. on Main street. The destruc-
ton of properly was great, considering
the number of buildings consumed.
Among the heavy losers are y. u.
Murphy, engaged III general merchan-
disc, losst $40, GOO; M insurance. Fred.
Bennett lost nearly all of his valuable
household furniture and all of his
Wjfe's clothing. Nelson Bush sustain
ed the total loss of his house and fur
niture, which he had lately fitted up.
Tie p~ostolice and its entire contents
were destroyed. Johnson, the post
master. who has been confined to his
bed for some time past, was rescued
with great difficulty. The fire was the
work of an incendiary, and the evil
dence pointed SO strong against one
John Zule that he was arrested and is
now in Jail. Great excitement pre-

IEAVENWORTH, May ii.
The excitement about the attempted
assassination of Col. ID. II. Anthony
still continues. He was removed from
the Opera House at 4:30 A. NJ, to his
residence. He has been conscious all
day and conversed freely with his
friends. His physicians are divided in
opinion as to the probable result.
There seems to be a general belief,
however, that his death is only a mat
ter of time. He may survive the day
or may die in a few hours. Embry,
his assassin, is in Jail awaiting the re-
suit of Anthony's wounds.
Downing, supposed TO be an accom-
plice, was released on his personal

full news to thousands Of people, not
only in every Southern State, but in all

gard to party or section. He has been
in i'll health many months but il has
only been within the last few weeks that
the general public became aware Of his
critical condition. 1t is believed that
his liver was injured by a blow received
from a fragment Of a she'll during the
war. An important surgical operation
performed on him Tuesday, but it
vas only partial, owing to his feeble con.
dition. Little hope is entertained Of his
recovery. The mind Of the great man
is clear, and he is perfectly conscious
that the end is probably very near.

A LndIcrOus CHURCH Controversy
NJ VT U..Ii Moi

New York World. May 81
The church difficulty at Newbridge
is becoming interesting, not to say
amusing. The Rev. K. N. Wright, the
old minister, breaches in the school-house
at Merrick, while the Rev. Mr.. Kristel-
Ter, the new appointee of the Confer
ence, breaches 10 the Newbridge Church.
The congregation Of the latter is very
small, and in noticing that fact last Sun
day, he remarked that he knew the
cream Of the society would welcome and
support him il the skim.milk did not.
Since then the two parties are known
respectively as the Cream" and the
"Skim-milk" parties. On Wednesday
last Mr.. KristeIler decided to place his
furniture in the parsonage, which is still
occupied by Mr.. Wright. his wife being
i'll and confined to her room with an
infant, two weeks old. Mr.. Wright saw
the furniture approaching and locked
the doors. Two Of the Cream" ladies,
however, made q flank movement and
effected an entrance through a back
parlor window, when they locked the
inside doors and declared themselves in
possession Of one room at least, and the
furniture was then passed into the room
through the window. Each party is thus
in part possession. The matter will
probably get into court before it can be
settled, as both sides are stubborn.

occurred a few days ago in Coffee

home visiting a neighbor, and, on her
return, she was met in the road by a
rough, ignorant negro, who told her that
the civil rights bill had passed, and that
it allowed him the privilege of waking
home with her. She knew it would
neither do to refuse nor resist, so she
said nothing, and he actually accompa-
MED her home. When they arrived, she
asked him to take q chair in the house.
When she returned, she had her fathers
