low prices are no reflection on

PEORIA, liz, August l4.-A terrible cut
ting ailray occurred last evening, about
93O o'clock. on Monson street, between
two young men named Harry A. Ruth, a
yard clerk for the Union Railroad and John
Daprow, a painter; The quarrel was about
girl, whom both had been courting. Da:
prov says Ruth had been talking about
her, and he asked him 10 stop it. Ruth
says Daprow asked him for a ring which
Daprow had given the girl, and she
gave it 10 him in exchange for one Of
his, and TINT he gave it to him. At any
rate. DIprow struck Ruth, as both agree.
whereupon Ruth pulled raIor and slash
cd Daprow in 4 wholesale man ner, one cut
extending from the corner OF his mouth TO
tliesldc Of his neck; another in the shape
OF semi.crcle on the front Of his neck
another on the cheek ,severing part Of the ear
others on the forehead and top oitle head;
Others on the left breast in the form OF
cross over surface two inches in diameter;
two across the back; another on the right
wrist sevcring one leader, and another on
the muscles OF the left arm, severing five
leaders. ,lsgI = .s
The cuts measure forty.fivc inches in
length altogether, and il took the doctors
four hours and required sixty-three stitches
TO sew them up. The patient has been
tolerably comfortable to-day, and is ap-
parently getting along well, although
fatal result is feared. Ruth, who inflicted
the terrible slash, was arrested soon after
ward at home. He is only twenty years
old: Daprow has lived here only year,
and comes from Iowa. He was knitted a
few years ago in DesMoines by mer-
chant named Monroe.

Interview accounts for the opposition OF
the Times to S. W. Dorsey to his refusal in
the last campaign to buy and circulate
$4,000 copies OF the Times. He pronounccs
'Dorsey's letter to Garfield as sensible and
says that Garfield should have ordered
Grant and Conkling both out OF the cam.
paign for refusing to mention his name in
their speeches, and he would have gained
one hundred thousand votes by SO doing.
He says Conkling is honest, but not great,
rs he has been making speeches for the last
twenty-five years and never given line
to literature. He says tile Star routers will
be acquitted, rs nothing is proved against
them and that the conduct OF the Govern
ment counsel is such that even if they had
any evidence no one would believe it. c
