CUT WITH A KNIFE.
A Drunken White Man Stabs Colored
H0stler Early To-Day.

Hostler Early To-Day.
This morning, shortly after O'Clock, an
intoxicated man whose name is said to be
William Welsh entered the stable yard of
Hagsh Brothers, Orange street below
Eighth. Welsh, who was drunk, began
quarreling with Henry Mercy, colored
hostler, who tried to drive him away. The
two men continued the disturbance up into
the stable which opens on Shipley street.
Mercy tried to get rid of Welsh, who seemed
determined to fight, and finally he hit the
fellow two or three blows and put him out
OF the door. Welsh then went down
to Seventh street and thence to
the Orange street entrance again, where
he found Mercy just finishing harnessing a
horse. Some words ensued, when the white
man received blow which sent him down.
A white companion then came upon the
scene when Mercy served him the same way
Welsh got to his feet and watching his
chance drew hooked peuknife and made
lunge at Mercy, cutting him in the back
and on the neck, but not seriously. At that
point two or three other colored stable hands
Jumped in and began to throw stones
ut the white intruders. For o while 1t
looked as if small riot was likely to be
started, but upon the arrival of five police,
who had been sent for, and through the
eHorts OF one of the proprietors of the
stable, the disturbance was quelled in time.
Welsh was arrested and taken to the City
Hall, but was too drunk to have hearing
at o'clock. Mercy had his wounds dressed
and Will be able to attend to business.

The Italians are rapidly adopting the ere
nation process of disposing of the dead ,and
1t is surprising how many people in this
country have of recent years begun to think
that the speedy consumption Of the body by
the flames is infinitely better than the slow
combustion in the grave.
An exchange says that if few drops of
ether or alcohol are let fall upon piece of
paper that had been equally moistened with
eodmium and iodidc starch solution, and
the volatile liquids set on fire, the paper
will be found after combustion has ceased to
have attained blue COLOR owing to the
production of ozone during the experiment
A Mississippi doctor proposes the use of
the arc electric light for killing tho moths
from the eggs of which the destry0tlRe cot
ton worm is hatched. 1t is well Known that
brush fires or burning rubbish Will attract
these pests, and it is probable that the bri'-
liant electric light would destroy in short
time enough moths to make good the cost.
At any rate the experiment is worth while
being made.

An American KING

Next Saturday night the Opera House
will be occupied by James O'Neill and his
excellent company, who will present for the
only time in Wilmington, this season, the
new and successful comedy drama, "An
American King" This play has met with
immediate success wherever it has been pre-
sented and is described by the peess as one
OF the best of the many of our good national
dramas. Of Mr.. O'Neill we can truthfully
say that he has reputation second to no
actor on the stage and in the larger cities
where he is known he is great favorite and
and tower of strength to the manager
fortunate enough to secure his services.
The company supporting Mr.. O'Neill is one
OF the most expensive on the road, and 1t is
hoped that our people will turn out in suffi-
cient numbers as to induce him to come
again to Wilmington.

WHAT Is THE OBJEOTION9

For some reconcile reason the
Presidents appointments on the
Tariff Commission appear to be
especially distasteful to our Demo-
cratic friends. Thursday the Demo-
cratic United States Senators held a
caucus and The drift of the talk was
decidedly in favor of opposing this
confirmation. Yesterday a formal
caucus was held and resolution d.
recting the taking of such action
agreed upon.
The Metropolitan, and, SO far as
they have discussed it even the New
Jersey Democratic press appear to be
bitterly opposed to the present con-
stitution of the Commission, but for
what reason we have been unable to
discover
No one can gainsay the fact that
the Commission is composed of hon
orable, capable men, that no unjust
or unfair discrimination either for OF
against any of our great interests has
been made. What then is the Dem
ocratic objection to the members oil
the Commission?
Can it be inspired by the knowl-
edge that it was not appointed to
recommend tariff for revenue only
