At the Ebbia House in Washington last
Friday uight, desperate reneonntcr took
place between Col. Fairfax, of Virginia, and
IL gentleman by the name OF Schell, OF lndanaa,
growing out Of an old grudge which the
Colonel bore towards his opponent for put
ting him off the floor Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives last summer in obedience TO duties
of assistant Doorkeeper. The Colonel upon
entering the Hotel with an open penkaife ia
hand made unge at Schell but missed his
aim, when his opponent struck him over the
head with walking cane, telling him 10 the
floor insensble, and thereafter stabbing him
three times The Colonel recovering his mind
arose, making lunge at Schell, inficting a
deep cut in the side Schell became frightened
and fed. Neither Of the contestants WAS
seriously injured, bat tie aoor Of the Hotel was
literally covered with the Colonels blood
