LOUISVILLE, Aug 20.-A striking in
stance of rather premature love and fight
was exhibited in the case of two little boys
named John Schmidt and Henry Weber,
aged respectively and IL years, at the
head of jefferson street yesterday after
noon. For two or three months past the
two boys have been rivals, as each of them
was in love with the same little girl. Yes
terday afternoon a crowd of little children
were playing in the street near the head of
Jefferson street. and in the crowd were
John and Henry and the little girl. A dis
pute over the girl finally arose between the
two. and ended in John, knocking chip
off Henry's shoulder. This was the signal
for fight, and they fell to work vigorous
ly. They had been fighting for several
minutes when Weber drew an. n.ordinary pen
knife from his pocket and commenced
cutting at the other boy, inflicting three
serious wounds Schmidt was cut once
down the right side of the face, across the
cheek and had one long cash under his
throat, which came near severing his jugu=
lar vein. Some men passing by separated
the two boys aud took them home.
Schmidt's wounds are serious, but not nee
essarily fatal 1t is thought his parents
viii have Weber arrested.

WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-After a long
recess in taking the testimony in the di-
vorce case brought by Ex-senator Christi
ancy against his wife, it was recommended
to-day Ambrose Falliott, who keeps a
drug store at 41st street, south of Penn
sylvania avenue. testified, That on July
10th, Senator Christiancy visited his place
and told him he, the senator, had operated
on his wife to produce an abortion, that
she was suffering from its effects and he
wished him to prescribe for her. Witness
objected to do anything of the kind under
the circumstances, and told the senator to
get regular physician to attend to her.
The senator did not wish to do this, and
all he wished witness to Go was to visit his
wife and assure her that she was IN no
danger. He visited Mrs. Christancy twice,
and on the second visit found her in con-
siderable pain and she complained of the
treatment she had received at the hands OF
her husband; she said she had protested
against the operation but the senator had
insisted and induced her to submit, saying
she would suffer no pain; but that now she
was enduring terrible pain. Several times
that the witness visited her, she com
planned of her husbands treatment, but
the senator would always hush her up
telling her to stop talking and all would
come RIGHT.

Lake Erie and Western Railroad Company,
being asked it strike of q serious nature
had occurred at any point on the road
said: Quite number of switchmen in
the Buffalo and Hornellsville yards have
quit work and applied for an increase of
pay, which the company is not prepared
to concede them, for the reason that they
are being paid rate equal to that received
by the same class of employees on the New
York Central, the Pennsylvania, and other
Eastern roads. As fast as the men quit
they are paid off and others hired in their
places No disorder or interference has
occurred, and while there is some delay in
passing freight trains through the yards al
Buffalo and Hornellsville, there is no de
tention to passenger trains. The Sala-
manka switchmen who quit work yester-
day have resumed this morning.

knew Jennie Cramer five or six years. He
last saw her alive the afternon before the
finding of her dead body. II was on that
Friday on the walk in front of the ladies'
entrance of the new depot. There were
eight or ten other hachman around. A
new Savin Rock car was coming down
from Church street and going towards
West Haven, and one of our party called
attention to it, saying he did not see how
it could carry SO many passengers just
then a stone got under the car wheels
and jostled the car, and as looked I saw
