SlNaal Correspondence Of The IHttLli0sneT.
NV CUMBERLAND, W. Va, December IS.
No little excitement was created here to-
day by report Of an attempted murder in
Grant District, this county.
The report has 1t that a farmer named
Allison had opened a coal bank on his
IAsm, near bank owned by James Toll
bert, Tie only outlet being by a private
road through Tolbert's land. The c0mpe-
titiou seems 10 have created bad blood,
and Tolbert notified Allison that he could
not haul coal through his land.
Yesterday Allison started to his bank by
The same route, and was met by Tolbert,
who ordered him oil the place, which at
once preCipitated row, in which Allison
was badly used up. He beat hasty re.
treat, but Tolbsrt persisted In continuing
the fight, and Allison having obtained a
shotgun by some unknown means, opened
fire on TOlbert, missing his aim, however.
Tolbert at once rushed In on him, but
Allison Clubbsd him over the head with
BIG gun, beating his face, almost into q
Jelly, and leaving him senseless, and as he
supposed, dead.
Dr. Donehoo was called upon to attend
The injured man, and thinks he may re.
cover. Allison gave himself up yesterday
evening.

Tbe Dim Gas Light.

Since the cold weather stin there has been
considerable complaint about ths quality Of
the city gas. It has not burned with Its usu-
al briliiancy, and at times has atckered very
percep!ibIy. Not alone have the street
lamps appeared DINNER, but also those in
stores, Offices and residences Several mer-
chauts having expressed ihemielyts, In the
presence Of reporter, In something like this
strain, "Just at the time we want the very
best light in order 10 show our Christmas
goods 10 the best advantage, the gas is the
worst,"a call at the Office was made for the
purpose Of ascertainirg what, II anything,
was the mstter.
In reply to questions, Secretary Hsz!ett
sain thai the pr sure 10 the same that 1t has
been for months past, and the tester has all
along shown the light to be sixteen CANDLE
power. In cold weather, however, certain;
condemnation takes place In the pipes, and
this, 10 certain extent, clogs them up, and
therefore the light is not SO lrrse or brilliant.
The 4 ckeripg indicates that something 10
wrong With the meter, and this should be re-
ported TO the Gas oilloe In order that the
difficulty may be adjusted. According TO the
information gained from the Secretary, the
diminished light will have to be endured 70
long as the cold weather continues.

VIII, who hss been on ranch in Texas for
several months, had been shot in an en-
counter with COW boys. The intelligence
came from friend at Quincy, Illinois, and
1t was supposed he had not informed his

ments to go to Texas, and left last evening.
A dispatch was sent TO the Western Union
operator at the nearest station 10

PITTSBURGH, December 1s.-The Glass
Manufacturer and Workmen's Confer.
ence Committee appointed to settle the
wages trouble held q secret session to-day.
It ia said that the Western manufacturers
are anxious to resume, but the Pittsburgh
manufacturers are not willing to concede
the demands Of the workmen. The latter
asserts that members OF the Manufacturer
Association are each under $4,000 bond
to continue the lockout till January l, and
after that date they can commence opera
tions, according to individual interests To
prevent this collapse, the blowers think
compromise will be effected.
Conference continued in session until o
late hour this evening and adjourped with

agree that further attempts to compromise
will be useless, and the question now is
one Of endurance. The workmen say the
manufacturers will weaken after January
l. Manufacturers pronounce talk OF that
kind rubbish. The feeling tonight is
more bitter than at any time aimee thestrike

Enough might be said on the subject Of
iudicious selection OF holiday presents, and
advantageous places to procure them, to fill
several issues Of the ISTELLlaEsczR.s Several
points remain which II would be unfair To
the public not TO dwell upon. Something
was said yesterday Of ready made clothing.
A favorable place 10 buy clothing OF good
quality and presentable styles, at more than
rsasona able rates, Is at Kline Brothers, at "a
Twelfth street They also handle gents fur
nishing goods In large way, and eau give
especially attractive bargains for the holiday
season.
y. Gundling, the famous one-priced cloth.
Ter, No. 80 Twelfth street, has an enviable
reputation as tquare dealing merchant, and
persons not accustomed to patronizing the
we'll known star clothing house should by
all means drop in before buying anything 10
mis- line.
A. L. Rice & Co., 1920 Main street, have q
stock OF hats, bonnels and general millinery
goods which offer tempting opportunities for
those who In selecting presents for fair friends,
desire 10 combine style and utility.
Elegant goods in the same line, In great
variety aud richness, may be seen at Mrs. 3.
5. kisner's, on the west slde OF MAID street
above Eleventh. Her attractive windows
and the more attractive display inside her
store recommend themselves.
Mr.. Il. Emsheimer, On Eleventh street, car
ries large stock Of good, Of especial titAess
for holiday presents. A CAL q. bis stors

result In lots OF satisfactory PURCHASES.

DENVER, COL, December 1s.-Last Sat-

prominent dentist Of Lsadville, and made
astartling request that he furnish her with
poison which couldn't be detected by an
autopsy. She offered $500 compensation,
reluctantly admitting that she wished to
get rid OF her husband, Hans Kofford, and
that her husbands, brother, Of whom she
was enamored, and herself might together
enjoy the insurance Of $500 which her
husband carried.
After making an appointment with
both at his Office last evening the doctor
arranged with the police and several in
