Two Hung Juries i'm the MeCuc Assault
Case.

In the Hastings Court yesterday William
Moore alias Allen, a young cOlored man,
was placed upon trial, and for the second
time, for gssaultlng and wounding B. Tay-
lor McCue.
ON the first trial Qast week. the jury were
unable 10 agrce and were discharged.
Mr.. McCue resides on farm on the
Brook turnpike about half Il mile from the
city. Accused was employed about Mr..
McCue's stable there and also at his factory
here in Richmond The trouble occurred
some weeks ago. about or O'Clock IN the
morning. There were no witnesses TO it.
Mr.. Nice ne told The court and jury, upon
oath, Yesterday, that Moore had been alb
sent from the place for some days; that he
himself went 10 the stable, and, with his face
10 the door, was engaged In unlocking it,
when some one from behind gave him a
blow, with a brick, il seemed which fell
ed him 10 the earth and rendered him in
sensible for about half an hour, as he
Judges. His dog attacked his assailant, and
from a momentary glance at the mans
pantaloons he (McCue) knew that it was
Moore.
Moore gave q totally different story. lie
declared that he had been sick for two or
three days, and in consequence unable TO
leave his home to do his work; that on the
morning in question Mr.. McCue, as soor
as he saw him, reprolched him for his a5-
sence, called him a niger, and abused him
with oaths; that at the stable-door Mr..
McCue grabbed hlm by The coat-eolar and
said something about clothes, and they got
into a scufe and he threw MIR. McCue,
who in falling probably struck himself
against the door-irame and received the in-
jury complained OF.
Mr.. McCue, upon being recalled TO the
stand in rebuttal, challenged any one TO
saw that he ever heard him use an oath. and
absolutely denied Moore's whole story. In
response to questions from juror, Mr..
McCue stated that he had bought a suit Of
clothes for Moore, which Moof was TO
pay for; hui having failed to do 30 except
IN small part), and having stopped work, he
went to Moore's place, got the clothes.

Prosperous Abilene.

Abilene is rapidly growing into a city
of some size, and this fact is a congrat-
ulatOry one. But there is one want
which is plainly evident and greatly
needed-street lamps. 1t is hardly pos
sible that we can get them for the win
ter's use, but no less than seventy-five
gas lamps should be distributed through
out the city. This number, at an ap-
prOXimate cost of $25. per lamp would
cost the city 81, S75. per annum. And
these figures need not brighten anyone
AS stated before, Abilene is rapidly
growing, property is all the time adj
vancing in value, and this extra and
necessary expense could be borne with
out increasing the burden of taxpayers.
Our dignity and character as a city re-
quire street lamps. Abilene is the lar
geSt and most active town we ever saw
without lighted streets at night. With
a little encouragement from the city,
gas works would be built here, and an
other enterprise employing hands would
be added to our industries. The proper
persons should give this matter active
and fruitful thought.

The Williams Dramatic Company.
Emporia Daily Republican


Notwithstanding the very inclement
weather, fair audience assembled at
the Whitley opera house last evening,
to witness the new and excellent COM
edy entitled the Little Duchess, and
from the time the curtain rose until it
fell at the close of the last act, the
audience was entirely absorbed in the
humOr, pathos, emotion and thrilling
incidents of the play. Matte Williams
is, indeed, a brilliant young actress.
There are no dummies in the cast No
entertainment given at the opera house
this season has been received with such
enthusiastic applause as greeted the
rendition of the Little Duchess last
night. We should like to speak of the
performance more in detail, but the
latenesS of the hour prevents us from
doing so. We trust the Williams ORA
matte Company will find it convenient
to visit our city again during the present
season. The general favor with which
the play was received last evening is a
sufficient guarantee for an increased
house in the future.
At Bonebrake's Opera House, Friday
and Saturday evenings, Nov. 3Oth and

South of the Railroad.

South Abilene is still in the ring-or
corporatiOn-and it will not be long be-
fore it can truthfully claim the posses
sion of the largest retail house in the
State of Kansas. The already large
and magnificent building of the Berry
Bros. Mercantile Company is to be en-
larged to three times it's present size.
Work has commenced on the west side
addition, which is to be as large as the
present building. Instead of parti-
ton, the two lower rooms of the new
part will be separated by large columns.
Next Spring an addition 50X100 feet,
will be built to the south end of the
building and will front east. When
this work is completed, Berry Bros.
will have a handsome red brick, two
story building 100X146 feet, and their
immense business will have been prOvi-
ded with something like adequate room.
The number of retail firms in this state
doing a larger business than Berry Bros.
is very lii 1.
There is a pretty well defined rumOr
that large brick business block will
be built on the vacant lots just west of
d. G.. Smiths drug store. And it is
reasonably certain that Messrs. D. G.
Smith and Phil Heigle have bought the
property on the corner directly east of
Berry Bros. store, and it is thought that
they will build brick block thereon
next year. 1t will thus be seen that the
building boom is not confined to the
north side.

Mr.. D. G.. Smith and B. F. Nelson
are opening their Holiday orders, and
are busy supplying customers with diff
ferent kind of goods. And Phil Heigele
and George Washington 1.-THE father of
his country Shook are happy and con-
tented in good run of custom.
