illuminated on Wednesday by the at

CLEVELAND CIothiers at Loggerheads.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 1.-two extern
sive clothing firms backed by heavy
capital recently started here. In their
efforts to build up business they adopted
various gift schemes. They finally car
ried it to such an extent that one of
them hitched a valuable horse in the
store, announcing that it and house
and lot worth several thousand dollars
would be given away to customers at a
drawing to take place February 22d One
of the old firms followed suit with an
offer of a house completely furnished.
Conservative merchants, who objected
to what they considered an unmercan-
tile method of building up trade. began
an agitation which resulted in the ar
rest of NJ. Michaels, of the Cleveland
Clothing Company, for selling lottery
tickets. He was arraigned to day, but
owing to fault in the indictment the
jury found for the defendant. The
alleged lottery scheme is still kept up,
and more arrests will pro )ably follow.

HAND TO HAND.
Deadly Struggle With Burglars--One Killed
The Other Put to Flight.

Dthily fNllleaA
The Other Put to Flight,
GAINESVILLE, TENN, Nov. 21.-This
community was thrown into wild excite
ment by the news of the attempted rob-
berry and assassination of Mr.. Jeff j..
Carrot, a prominent citizen of New
Providence, two miles from this city, by
tramps. From Mrs. CARROT the follow
ing particulars were gathered:
Mr.. Carrot and wife had retired as
usual, leaving the window blinds open.
About 10 o'clock they were aroused by a
powerful crash against the window,
which shiyered it into atoms. Mr.. Gar
rot instantly sprang out of bed, and ran
into the hall for his gun. Returning,
he saw by the moonlight one man en-
teTing through the window, where his
attention was naturally directed. He
instantly fred, the shot taking effect in
the lower part of the mans neck. One
man had got into the room while Carrot
was getting his gun. The inside rObber
fired two shots at Carrot with his pistol,
one shot entering his (GarrOt's) lungs
two inches above his heart.
Then caused a hand-tO-hand scuffle.
The rObber. dropping his pistol and hat
on the floor, was trying to wrench the
gun from Carrots hand, while Carrot
was trying to hold the gun against the
rObber, calling his wife to pull the trig-
ger. The rObber called Justify for
Frank" to come to his help. The gun
was broken in the melee, and Mrs. Gar
rot could not make it fire. Carrot then
got the assassin by the throat and chOked
him down. He soon became exhausted
and the TObber broke his hold and es-
capped under the bed. Carrot and his
wife dragged him out, when the second
scuffle ensued, and they succeeded in
heaving him out the window.
Carrot and his wife are large, fieshy
people, and he, suffering from his
wound, fell PROSTATE. Mrs. Carrot re-
eeived a sprained wrist. They were
alone, and Mrs. Carrot unable to make
her voice heard, ran nearly mile bare
footed in her night-dress to the nearest
neighbOr's to give the alarm. 1t seems
the man who escaped did not know his
partner Frank had been killed, or he
would not have called him so often. He
thought, perhaps. Carrot had missed his
aim; nor did Mr.. Carrot or any one know
the effect of his shot till morning, when
the rObber was found dead in the yard.

but within the next two or three days
the Richmond Wing, the Virginia organ
of Malone chairman, had the fairness
in its columns to say that the murder
grew out of an old grudge between the
parties, and had no political signih-
canoe what ever. William Malone,
Chairman, ought to have been aware of
these facts when he penned his address.
1t he was not, by what principle of JUS
tice did he utter so vile a slander upon
the people of Hanover, who, from an
intimate acquaintance with them for
fifty years, L can tLuly say are as law
abtdingas any people on earth, without

Your Obedient servant
VIM. G. WICKHAM.
The receipt of MahOne's letter here, in
which he charges wholesale murder in
Virginia has stirred up the greatest in
dignatiOn and excitement, and caused the
severest censure from some of his form
eT political adherents. 1t is believed to
be prelude to the plot of Malone and
his Board of Canvassers to count out a
sufficient number of Democrats in the
Senate to give him a majority, and,
fearing the Indignation of the people,
he proposes to have United States troops
here to aid him in his undertaking. His
address is pronounced tissue of false
hood. The State Board of Canvassers
meets on Monday next.

CANTON, OHIO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1888

in the third room Moses Pally, visitor
from Transfer Mercer county Pa, was
lying dead in his bed, all four having
been killed by balls from revolver.
The theory advanced is this, that Pally,
who Is drOveT, when coming to Jack
son yesterday, told that he had consider
able money, and that he was going to
buy the best stock in Jackson county,
and that he was followed to his stop
ping place at CTOuch's and murdered by
one or more persons. The whole com
munity is in state of excitement, and
nearly a thousand people from town have
gone to the scene of the tragedy. The
unfortunate people were chlOrOfOrmed
and shot just back of the ear, and from
the fact Of all having been shot in the
same place, 1T is possible thOt one person
Is the author of the whole horrible
deed.
A cOlOred boy and white maid who
were upstairs sleept through the whole
affair. The boy said he heard at one
time humping sound, but as the night
was very windy and stormy he thought
1t was produced by the elements. The
murdered people show no signs of
struggle. Crouch was a widOWer and
his daughter was thirty-three. White
was about thiTty-eight and Pally TWEEN
ty-six years old.
III is SAID thaJ crouch had received q
few days ago $4,000 from his son Byron
who is in Texas, the amount being a
dead sons interest in Texas ranch.
The bankers say Crouch had deposited
no money within week. The cOlOred
boy said to one person that when he
heard the noise below he became fright
ened jumped into chest, shut down the
lid, and remained there all night. The
fellow could not get into the chest it is
too small and if he had he would have
been suffOcated, He is very excited and
his stories are not consistent. The of
ficers are reticent but hard at work. The
tracks around the house show that the
place was guarded while the perpetra-
tors carried on their devilish work

Concert by MIR. w. FL. Sherwood.

Mr.. W. NJ. Sherwood, the celebrated
American Pianist, will give a grand
piano recital and concert at the Opera
House on December 4th. Mr.. Sherwood
is by all odds the greatest living per-
former on the piano in America, and he
should be greeted with full house on

The programme to be presented by him
will be particularly fine one, and will
be announced at a later date. The fol-
lowing in relation to him is from the
Cincinnati Commercial: "Mr. Sherwood
has no superior in America and very
few who can challenge comparison with
him. His style is varied and poetic in
the most perfect acceptatiOn of those
terms. X Mr.. Sherwood belongs
to that small class of yirtuOsi who have
the art and the genius to make a mere
recital with no accessories an entertain
ment which enteTtains."
