STABBED AFTER TALKING P0LlTICS.-A special
dispatch 10 the New York Times. from Peters
burg. Va, Dec. 10th. says: A serious Stabbng
ARRAY occurred this afternoon at Dinwiddit
arose at the hotel dinner table between DR.. F..
{. POWELL member Of the last general assembly
from Dinwiddie county, and x. C. She'll esq. a
prominent lawyer OF the county. The discus
sion. at first friendly. became animated and
nnally passed into quarrel. PowellS state
ment is that al the END OF the conversation Mr.
Shell charged that he had inSulted him. and
that he (Shell) would see him after dinner. AZ
ter dinner the two men met In the porch OF the
MOTEL. DIR. Powell remarked TO Mr.. Shell that
he could see him then. Ii Is stated Shell struck
Powell In the face, when Powell stabbed Shell
in the side, the blade OF the knife penetrating
the lung. Mr.. Shells wound is regarded as very
serious, and probably FATAL his condition Is
critical. Powell surrendered himself.

breWS In New York, informing them that Mrs
stewart desired to present them with money
donations amounting TO $500 and $3.50 respect
lively. The proposition created quite stir
among the 1Sraeites who, since Judge IIilton'S
foolish order excluding them from the Grand
I mon hotel, Saratoga. have carefully refralned
from buying goods OF \. Il. Stewart d co. The
impression is that Mrs Stewart is endeayoring
through this show OF beneyOence. to propitiate
the Hebrews and up 10 this time they have de-
cflned 10 send for the money which she has
placed at the disposal of the institutions named.
