Among fresh-water. fishes the carp
was held in high esteem in Shakspeare's
time. as the fish is easy to rear and keep
in preserved fish-ponds, and SO readily
available for the table. He Nentions it

This is peculiar fitness in Polomius's

FIGHT In CHURCH.
"A Brlckerville Case out West.


Jeffersontown, small village about u
miles from Louisville, KY, has Chris
tian church, in which the disciples of
Christ worship. The flock has been
without shepherd for the past fifteen
months, because it has been divided as to
which one of two applicants should be
selected. Each party has had it's cleri-
cal candidate in the pulpit ON alternate
Sabbaths, and the church has thus had
spiritual leaders in sort of competitive
examination. It was determined that an
election for pastor should be held after
services on Sunday last. The Rev. DR..
Taylor occupied the pulpit on that day.
Deacon JOHN Bryant nominated Rev. Prof.
Rufelt, and Deacon Huntzinger nominated
the Rev. DR.. Fowler. Each made a
speech supporting his nominee. Dea-
con Bryant, who is little deaf, col.
strucd some Of the most caustic words
Of Deacon Huntzinger's speech as applied
to him, and he became furious. A row
worthy Of ward meeting followed. The
congregation dispersed without proceeding
with the election, and left the wrathful
deacOns in a war of words. They con.
tinued the quarrel, indulging in personal
abuse Of each other. Finally Deacon Bry-
ant struck Deacon Huntzinger in the
mouth, drawing blood freely and Telling
him to the floor. Then members of the
church iuterfered and stopped the fight,

WHAT THE TRIAL HAS COST.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Expended in Ill,
Persecution of Guiteau

Fifty Thousand Dollars Expended III the
Prosecution Of Gnitcau.
The trial of Guiteau, now drawiu, to a
close, is expected to end with the termiDa-
ton of next week. The general impression
prevails that the government has been put
| to a great expense to prosecute the assas-
sin and tho costs of the trial have been esti-
mated to exceed $4,000. 1t cannot be
definitely learned what Judge Porte: and
Mr.. Davidge are to receive for their ser.
vices as special prosecuting officers. but
from the hints thrown out it is believed
that their fees will not beexaggerated when
placed at s15, 900 each. Including Satur,
day next in the days of trial it will bring
the pay of the jurors up to 81 ,46s. Iu ad,
-ditiOn 70 this comes the hotel board bill,
which it is presumed will not exceed So 80
per day per man. With this must be in
cluded the three bailiffs in attendance
upon the jurors This figures up the
handsome sum of So, 213 to be paid to the
proprietors of the National hotel. For
witnesses, including mileage, there has
been paid out 50, O7S.S5. OF this sum s5,-
1885 was paid in behalf of the govern
ment and 81, $50 for the defendant, and Of
the latter $685.. 55 went to the Guiteau fam
lily and their connections. For report
ing and printing the trial and papers used
in the case preparatory to the hearing it
is estimated that s., 900 will be required !;
for seven deputy marshals used in the
halls and the chamber s1,302 will be nee
essary. Then there are the miscellaneous
expenses to be covered, such as the ply
sicians' charges. medicine, chairs for the
court room and incidentals too numerous
to mention, but which it will take about
$1,000 to cover, in all making a grand
total of $50, ,061.85.
In regard to the payment Of experts,
about which so much was said during the
trial, they were paid fees and mileage,
the same as other witnesses, days and
distances only being taken into considera-

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE REGULAR LvENING FIRE.

The Roof Burned From II Dwelling House
Last night about o'clock fire broke
out in a frame dwellin. houses belonging
to Martin Snyder, and situated on Now
Vine street, short distance from st.
Joseph street. The building was occupied
by Mrs. Frederick Kahl. widow, with
her family. At the above hour ono of the
children, who was lying in bed, heard !,
cracking noise up in the garret and at once
alarmed the mother. 1t was then disapv-
cred that the building was on fire. An
alarm was given, and the engines
wore on hand il short time.
Several streams were soon playin. on the
house, all of which was saved with the
exception of the roof, which was almost
entirely burned off. The furniture, &c,
belonging to Mrs. Kahl was all removed
AMI all she lost was that which was
broken. In the rear of the building Mr.
Snyder had cigar shop Il lot Of tobacco
and cigars were damaged by water, with
which the house was flooded. Some
cigar moulds in tho garnet were burned.
The building is almost entirely ncw and
was insured. The owner resides in
Petersburg and when he comes to town
his loss will probably be known.
No ono knows how the fire originated,
but when it started it seemed to be at a
point where tho garret of the front and
back parts of tho house join. There was
no fire near that place, and what started
it the occupants of the house arc unable
to say.
Mrs. kahl had all of her things taken to
the houses Of neighbors, where she now is
with her family.
When the fire had been almost extin
guished, several companies turned their
streams Oh the pipemen of tho Union COM
pany, who were playing on the north side
of tho building. The Union did not re-
turn the fire but kept playing on the build
ins and finally turned their stream into
an open lot when the fire was out.
