A STABBING AFFRAY.

n Social Glass, or More, Results in an I'M
br0glio, in Witch Ed Mccarthy Knifes
Michael Kennedy-Kennedy Dangerous
Iy, If Not Fatally, Wounded.
Yesterday Ed Mccarthy, who has been for
about three months employed by Michael
Kennedy, a blacksmith. residing at
No. 1,O11 South Second street, in driv-
ing a dirt team about eighty miles
Both Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Mccarthy appeared
particularly pleased at meeting, and a few
social glasses of beer were taken to celebrate
the occasion.
At about o'clock in the evening Mr.. Ken
nedy proposed to settle up with Mccarthy
and pay him for his three months services.
To this Mccarthy protested, but Mr.. Kennedy
ensued. Finally Mccarthy left the
house, but returned again half an hour later
armed with knife, with which he struck
Mr.. Kennedy two dangerous blows. One, the
most dangerous, took fleet on the right side
of the head, cutting frightful cash from
above the right ear to the eye, severing the
| temporal artery and flesh to the skull The
arm between the elbow and the shoulder.
Friends interceded and Mccarthy was soon
disarmed and driven away.
From Kennedy's house Mccarthy went
rambling around town for an hour or SO, and
| finally with a sudden resolution, walked de-
liberately up to Officer Gleason in Police alley
and delivered himself up as prisoner.
In the meantime DR.. Skinner was summoned
| and attended Mr.. Kennedy's injuries. The
doctor informed the reporter that h. consid-
| cred the wound upon the head dangerous.
| The temporal artery had been severed, and the
patient had suffered great loss of blood, which
had reduced him to such condition that he
| tainted during the surgical operation.
| The reporter called at Mr.. Kennedy's resi-
| deIce at about 10 o'clock and found him in an
| unconscious, or rather delirious condition.
His chances for recovery or death are consid-
cred about equal by his friends.
The GLOBE reporter interviewed Mccarthy
| at the lookup late last night; he stated that he
struck MIR. Kennedy. against whom he bears
no malice, purely in self defense. He says
that Kennedy at first was pleased with his
work but after talking awhile began to find
fault and stated that the team had not earned
half the amount which il would had he
kept the team in Minneapolis. Mccarthy pro-
tested and Kennedy struck him, calling him a
liar. He claims it was then, and not half an
hour later, that he stabbed Kennedy.
At midnight Kennedy was still 10 a delirious
state, which was probably induced by the
blow across the head Owing to a combina.
ton of unfavorable circumstances his recov.
cry is considered somewhat doubtful by his
Dbysician

the presidency Though it made him the
laughing stock of the country, but it
was mortal sin for Mr.. Dunnell to have
any such aspirations. 1t is on the same
principle that the same gang allege a
pack of falsehoods against Kindred
in the Fifth district, and when
what they charge against Kindred is
actually proven by sworn testimony
against Washburn, it is all lovely and
proper. This is the popularity of the
Window Washburn gang. They are the
biggest pack of personal and political
scOundrels which ever afflicted any state,
but according to their own testimony
they are so saint like that they ought to
be translated to the other world and
started in business as proprietors of an
angel factory. Mr.. Dunnell can count
upon desperate and implacable contest
and resort to all manner of proceedings,
foul or otherwise, to compass his defeat.
His candidacy is open and manly and
the GLOBE will mix in occasionally to see
that the combatants fight fair.

Farmers Rejoicing Deer Splendid Crops OF
All Kinds.
Correspondence of the Globe

Correspondence of the Globe
MANKATo, Aug. q. - While other st. Paul
papers have been engaged in "booming"
northern Minnesota and Dakota, the GLOBE
has always had kind word for southwestern
Minnesota and that section has had free access
to its columns. This fact is appreciated by
our people, and now that our farmers are
gathering the best crops ever matured in this
section, we know that the GLOBE will Join in
our rejoicing and derive satisfaction from the
fact that its confidence has not been mis-.
placed.
Our farmers are beginning to thrash, and
we are glad to know that grain of all kinds is
turning out better than we had expected. Mr.
Leo Lanm, who owns small farm on the Bel
grade side OF the river, had yield of thirty
one bushels of wheat to the acre; 2. Moeri,
of Lima, got twenty seven bushels OF No. / /;
NJ. Harma, of Rapidan, had what appeared to
be very poor wheat, and it has thrashed out
fifteen bushels; B. +. and D. Shaubut report
fifteen bushels to the acre, ard G. II Cornell,
OF Mapleton, eighteen bushels. j. Doty, OF
Courland, thrashed sixty acres of oats, which
averaged eighty-one bushels 10 the acre. Oats
are averaging from fifty TO sixty FIVE and sew.
enly bushels, and barley sixty bushels to thu
acre. Blue Earth has the largest acreage in corn
ever grown-over 40, coo acres-and two weeks
more will put most Of 1t out of danger. TIE
TINKER corn is practically safe, and the hot
weather is pushing the crop forward with re-
markable rapldity. Should frost hold off till
the 10Th or 18th of September, OF which we
have every promise, there will be the largest and
best corn crop ever grown in the state Many
fi=lds stand ten, twelve and even fifteen feet
high, and two and three ears to the stalk.
All these things indicate season OF great
prosperity to the farmers, and to say nothing
of the money value of the crop, the renewed
confidence it has awakened, would bring
forth good results for the future.

SALTWATER.

One arrest last night for fast driving. A
Mr.. White assaulted man on Main street
last evening and was locked up for it,
1t is reported that the captain and crew of
steamboat on the lake were compelled to lay
up yesterday on account of the extreme heat.
Other scenesfthan those mentioned will be
explained to Judge Lee this morning-some-
thing about running up stairs and hiding, but
that is not all.
Mr.. VIM. Smith, the pilot who was injured
aboard the steamer Jim Watson Thursday, is
steadily improving, the pain having in great
measure abated.
Eleven arrests were made by the police on
Saturday night, one of them on q charge of
the most beastly nature. One would eup-
pose it almost impossible for any of the human
kind to SO brutalize himself az to be guilty of
such an act as the one for which this man was
arrested.

Washburn as a Temperance Non.

The Young Mems Prohibition club will
meet in Harrison hall this evening to deter.
mine upon what course to pursue respecting
the congressional fight. Considering the
question the GLOBE is informed will form the
evenings topic for discussion, i. E., the two
congressional candidates who have been
placed in nomination by the Democratic and
the Republican parties, DR.. A.
A. Ames and W. d. Washburn, from tenn
perance standpoint; it is not at all unlikely
that third party candidate Will be selected, in
as much as some of the ambitious young Pro
hibitionists who have been solicited to use
their influence against making a nomination,
and inffayor of endorsing Washburn, propose
to speak with no uncertain sound respecting
a certain saloon which is owned by Washburn
and which floats the waters of Minnetonka
in defiance of the law, which says no liquor
can be sold without license, and further
more, in violation of the law which has guar
anteed to the citizens around about that lake
to prevent the issuance of such license.
1t is stated that certain week kneed Prohi-
bitioDIsts, with the usual inconsistency of
fanatics, have on the other hand threatened to
declare themselves for Washburn. But in
that event, If the GLOBE is correctly informed
land there seems no reason why it should not
be) aud il these certain Inconsistent and week.
kneed members have any ingredient of shame
in their composition, they will meekly leave
the hall this evening with their heads hang
ing. All in all, there will without doubt be
more fun aud more enthusiasm and excitement
than good lively youth can shake stick at.

FOUND DEAD.
Nels Nelson, Stone Mason, Found Dead
In HIS Room on High Street Yesterday.

Nels Nelson, a Stone Mason, Found Dead
Three days ago Christopher WEIGH, of 1874
South High street, rented an unfinished
room in his house to three Scandinavians,
one of whom was Nels Nelson, stone mason.
The three at once furnished up the room
in cheap aud meagre style, and
began housekeeping on very
limited scale. Yesterday at about s o'clock
Mr.. WEIGH happened to 60 to the room which
he had rented to his three dodgers. and there,
lying across the coarse, cheap bunk which
did service as bed for the three, he saw to
his horror the livid corpse of Nelson, cold and
stiff, his feet resting on the floor, and his head
reclining in an unnatural position upon the
neither side of the coarse couch. Mr..
WEIGH forthwith notified the chief of police
who in turn sent word to the county coroner.
The coroner, however, had not yet returned
from Kegan's lake, whittier he had gone pro-
fessionally, and it was about 9 o'clock before
an investigation of the facts connected with
the mysterious death was made.
Mr.. WEIGH states that he saw Nelson 90 to
his room at about o'clock in the morning
alone. and that he did not know of his coming
from it again.
with several others, repaired to the scene and
found the body as described by Mr.. WEIGH.
The room had been locked by Mr.. Welch
just SO soon as he discovered .the corpse, and
| the key turned over to the chief of police.
The two Scandinavians who roomed with
| Nelson were found. They were unable to
| speak English, therefore Officer Gardner
| acted as Interpreter. The two room mates
stated that Nelson had complained of illness
for several days, but little heed had been taken
of it. Yesterday they went to the lake, but
Nelson, not feeling well enough to accompany
them, remained at home. They stated that
they had only known the deceased few
months. He was not addicted to the use O.
intoxicants and was regular in his habits
honest and Industrious, and that he had ne
family to their knowledge.
The corpse was dressed in coarse flame
shirt and pair of jeans pants. In the pants
pockets was found pocket book which con
tanned $77.9l in gold. silver and bills.
The remains were taken in charge by Under
| taker Warner.
After careful investigation the corone
concluded that Nelson came to his death from
natural causes, probably from congestion o
the lungs, and hence no inquest will be held

EX-SENATOR MCDONALD, of Indiana, in
speech before the Jefferson club of In
diaanpolis, Monday evening last, sounded
what is to be regarded as the keynote of
the Democratic campaign in that State,
and so far as national matters are touched
upon, for the country at large. After re-
ferring to Republican extravagancies, the
spoils system, and political assessments,
the ex-senator said "that what the Dem
ocrats and people demanded and would
insist upon was that a peace policy shall
he adopted as to revenue and expendl-
lures; that the present unjust system of
taxation shall be revised; and that taxes
levied as duties upon imports shall be
confined strictly to a revenue standard;
and if, in so doing, it shall be within our
power to dispense with all other taxes,
then let the internal revenue system of
taxation be repealed, thus relieving the
government and the people from the ex-
pense of maintaining double system of
taXatiOn.'
