TExARKASA, Feb. 23.-Ispecial,l Last
night a quarrel between the boys OF L. SO.
linsky and negro boy resulted in SOlinsky
being seriously stabbed by the negro. 1t
seems that Soinsky took up the quarrel for
his boys and assaulted the negro with
monkey-wrench, when the negro cut him in
the stomach. The negro was justitiable.
Another cold stream of wind and rain
Is prevailing to-day, which further retards

The sheriils of Miller and Bowie counties

lecl lne money! .,..-.... -
Brady replied that there would be no
difficulty about raising that amount.
He was willing to undertake to raise it,
but he didn't propose to burn his fingers,
in view of Hayes order, and the feeling
against government employees soliciting
subscriptions. Hubbell thought Brady
was altogether too sensitive about it,
but Brady was firm. "Give me-" said
Brady, something that can fall back
on in case of trouble and you shall have
the money"
Hubbell asked Brady if a memoran-
dunn of some sort from r. B. Hayes
would be sufficient, and Brady said that
it would, of course, provided it was the
right kind of memorandum. Hubbell
promised to get it, and went to Hayes
Forthwith. Hayes refused to write any
memorandum or letter. He did not
forbid the raising of the money; he on
ly refused to do anything that would
throw the responsibility for it upon
him. Hubbell was in despair. He la
bored again with Brady, but the Assist
ant Postmaster General was firm as a
rock. Hubbell then communicated
with Dorsey, and the result was that
Hubbell returned to Brady, saying,
"Would you undertake to raise that
money from the star route contractors
if you should get request or memo
randum from Gen. Garfield?"
Brady had little faith in Garfield. He
could not forget that Garfield had prom
ised to defend the star route appropria-
tions, and had failed to do so. Still,

The Oyster Supper.

The Ladies' Mite Society Social, held
at the hotel on Wednesday evening
last was quite largely attended and
proved a pleasant occasion for all pres.
ent The programme consisted of read.
ings, recitations and music both vocal
and instrumental, and was we'll carried
out-the selections being good and well
rendered. AT the close Of the literary
exercises the company were invited to
enjoy an oyster sGpper-the appearance
OF which was somewhat delayed by a
misunderstanding as to who should
prepare it-but at last all was in readi-
ness and the company sat down to the
second part ct the evening entertain
ment. The receipts of the evening
We're $1j.lO.
The thanks Of the society are espe-
cially rendered to Miss Lizzie Moore
for her very generous donation of the
oysters and crackers as q parting con-
tribution to their fund before her de-
parture from the Springs; also for her
assistance in preparing and carrying
out the programme and otherwise con-
tributing tc the success of the affair.
The best wishes Of the society attend
her wherever she may go. Thanks are
also due to those who SO kindly fur
nished the excellent music which was
greatly enjoyed by all. The kindness
Of the hotel people in SO freely giving
the use OF the rooms and other things
needed for the occasion was highly APP
preciated. 1t is to be hoped the future
entertainments of the society NAV
prove as enjoyable and profitable as
those in the past have been.
