slaOUino Anafr at Chester.

On Monday evening, very serious
stabbing affair took place in an alley at
Chester. The man stabbed was Thomas
Farral, and, the wound was in the abdo-
men running parallel with the medium
line of the body and extending about
inches. The stabbing occurred about
7 o'clock in the evening, ,and no one seems
TO have seen it done. The wounded man
was placed upon settee, and carried to
his residence where he..mrde several con-
Trajectory statements.
His first statement to the mayor was
that young man by the name of Patrick
Young had met him in the alley, and
saying "You here again." stabbed him.
The cause assigned for the cutting was
jealousy, there being a young woman
living in the house near where the affair
took place, whom Farral went to see.
Officer Kershaw being informed of the
affair went to Young's clearinghouse, ,and
arrested him.
On Monday evening Farral being very
low the Mayor took his ante mortem
statement in which he explicitly implicat-
ed Young.
Yesterday morning, he was much bet
ter, and made another statement contra
dictory to the first. At the hearing be-
fore the mayor, Young was discharged
on his own recogniZance to appear II
wanted.
1t is impossible to tell whether Farral
will recover or not. He has been very
badly cut, and if notification should take
place his death would be only question
of time.

evening after battalion drill, elected two
new officers under the supervision of
Lieutenant Smith of A" company, this
company has been without Lieutenants

ber of company ga" Sixth Regiment,
and four years graduate of Prof. Roth's
Broad Street Military Academy. Mr..
Thomas b. Mccormick, young attorney
was elected to the position of Second

ance in our local military but as the gen.

A Shocking Crime Erpiated.
A NEGRO HANGED FOR OUTRAGE
ON A WHITE LADY.

At Tarborough,N. c., yesterday, Simon
Ragland, stalwart mulatto, was hanged
for outrage ON young white lady. The
victim was Miss Cornelia Bidgood, q
beautiful and highly accomplished young
lady, occupying the very first social posi-
ton and universally admired and delov-
ed. She resided about four miles from
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad,
and while she was returning alone and
on foot one afternoon about 18 months
ago, from visit to neighboring plan
tation, she was attacked in piece of
woods by Ragland, who after a desper-
ate but brief struggle, beat her to the
earth gagged her, and committed a
brutal assault upon her. He left her
nearly insensible. She at length revived
sufficiently to make her way home. Rag
land was pursued, taken and committed
to Edgecomble County Jail.
THE LAST MOMENTS.
His wrists and ankles were securely
pinioned. The fatal moose was adjusted,
and the white cap drawn down over his
face. Sheriff William j. Hardison then
cut rope which held the trap. The fall
was two and one-half feet. In eleven
minutes life was extinct. The death was
by strangulation.

ANOTHER BATTLE.

ANOTHER BATTLE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE n. Y. HERALD.
CRY OF MEXICO, Jan. 10, 1877.
A decisive battle has been fought be-
tween the army of General Don Porfiro
Diaz and the forces Don Jose Maria
Yglesias at place called La Unian de
Abodes, and L hasten to send you the
news. .f... ..f -.n-
General Antillon, who commanded the
Constitutional" troops in support of
Yglesias to the Presidency, was defeated
and obliged to surrender. He and the
rest of the army under his command laid
down their arms to the victor. Yglesias
accompanied by his Cabinet, among
whom General Don Felipe b. Berrioza-
bal, at one time Minister of War under
Juarez, fed to the port of Manzanillo, on
the Pacific, thirty leagues west of the
town of Colima, General Don Jose Ce-
ballios, commander of the Fourth Di-
vision of the Federal army, who had
lately ISSUED from his headquarters in
Guadalajara manifesto in favor of ex-
President Lerdo, fled also with Yglesias.
1t is thought that all these parties will
probably embark at Manzanillo for Ma
zatlan. AT present there seems to be no
other course left open to them.

FOUR NEGROES ENGAGE IN A FREE
FIGHT-oNE OF THEM STRUCK WITH A
MALLET.
Yesterday afternoon, -four negroes went
intoa low GROCERY at the corner of Ship
ley and Water streets, and called for
whiskey, being asked by the woman be-
hind the bar if they had the money to pay
for 1t, they answered that it was none of
her business, as they would pay for it
when they got it. They then became
very impudentand she picked up mallet
used for driving bungs, and struck one of
the number on the head, telling him to
the floor, and stunning hinf another she
hit on the back of the neck. The party
then went out picking up the one who
was lying on the floor, and carrying him
out and laying him on the pavement.
After reaching the pavement the party
got into a quarrel as to where the man
struck on the head should be taken, one
contending that he should be taken up
town while another wished him to be
left alone. The discussion waXed warm,
and the party finally came to blows, the
two that had not been struck falling on
the other one and threw him to the pave
ment. While the party were thus en-
gagged the man who was carried out got
UP and walked away. The one who was
overpowered by the other two then offer
ed to fight them single handed and finally
whipped one of them after fighting fol
about half an hour.

CLEAN Tie Paven.e,..s.
For the Gazette.


We wish to call the attention of the
proper authorities to the law requiring
the cleaning of sidewalks, and would he
pleased to see the ordinance enforced. as
there are q great many owners and agents
who pay little or no attention whatever
TO the law. Suppose, for instance, that
no person would clean the pavement of
suow, what condition our city would
be in to be sure. There are Instances
where one-half the squares are built
upon and the pavements are properly
cleaned off, tae balance of the SQUARE
may be owned by some person who does
not trouble to have any cleaning done.
and those who have to walk, as most OF
our citizens do, are obliged to walk
through slush, sometimes to the depth
of or inches. Now is this right ?
Should not the property owners and
agents be compelled to do as required by
the law as much SO as well disposed citi-
zens, and, iif we are right in our views
why are not the laws enforced?
The street crossings are another matter
which needs looking after for all this
present winter the most of them have
been in a fearful condition, and ever
where the iron cutters are, they have
been really worse than they would have
been had there been none of them. Here
and there we see crossing where the ice
has been cut away to make room for
water to run. Probably if there was tc
be an election very soon there would be
more men employed by the city for thi
purpose. We would suggest to the City
Council, that, instead of wasting. time
which will not be really needed for il
ten years to come, it would be as we'll t
attend to the present necessities of tn,
people. D. CITIZEN.

SAILS SUPERsEDING STEAM.-A re-
markable change in the character of
ship-building on the Clyde has for some
time been going on, and during last year
it reached very large proportions. This
is the substitution of iron sailing ships
for iron steamers, and the change is as
cribed in some measure to the increase of
late years in the price of coal, an increase
which makes it difficult to run steam
ships al profit. In 1878 there were
built on the Clyde l25 iron screw steam
ers Of 21S,000 tons, and only twelve iron
sailing ships of 10000 tons were launch
ed. But in 1875 only eighty-three iron
screw steamers were built, while ninety
seven iron sailing ships Of $4,000 tons
were constructed. This is an increase OF
more tran eight-fold in three years.

Tic BurtinOtoss Squirt.

The trial of steam fire engines that took
place at Burlington, N. j., on Monday,
resulted int complete victory for the
Clapp & Jones. The Silsby engine did
not put in an appearance, owing to delay
on the railroad, occasioned by the snow.
The Clapp & Jones Company had three
engines on the ground, consisting OF the
End, 3rd and 4th classes. The PROPOSE
tion of the La France Company, was to
that the engines should squirt according
to weight, which was acceeded to by the
Clapp & Jones company, and the engines
weighed. The following were the weights
of the Clapp & Jones: Second class, 57SO
lbs; Third, 5075; Fourth, 3940. The La
France second class weighed G340. The
La France then refused to play the second
or third class Clapp 81 Jones, but consents
ed to play the Fourth class. The time
and amount of steam was: Clapp d. Jones
- lbs of steam in minutes; La France,
10 lbs in minutes. In the seven trials
that followed, the Clapp & Jones beat
their competitor in every way.
The members Of the Water Witch Co.,
of this city who went up to witness the
trial desire to return their thanks for the
kind treatment that they received from
