violent personal alteration occurred be.
tween a. s. Hewitt and Perry Belmont over
the Hewitt-West episode in connection with
the passage of the O'Donnell resolution.

the version heretofore published in his be-

roborating what he said He then turned di-
rectly upon Belmont, and denounced the
latter's action in the matter, saying he had
difficulty il finding language strong enough
to leBounco the petty baseness.
Belmont arose and said: II do not propose
to permit you to talk to me in this wa sir. "
Il have no doubt the truth gals you, sir
retorted Hewitt. Come now, tell this COM
mittce if it is not true that ECU have retailed
petty ISLANDERS about me without making
the slightest attempt at rectfying them,

Belmont hotly replied: u have retailed no

pressed my opinions pretty freely upon what

Hewitt answered: You have persaveringly

my statement here, what have you to say?'
Nothing that you have said has changed

The Wayne Township Feud.

In some of the accounts published of the muir
derous ARRAY between the Bridges and Barnett
families, in Wayne township, on Friday last, the
statement vas made that both were dangerous
and quarrelsome men. The neighbors out there,
however, say that this is not true of Barnett,
who is quiet and peaceable, attending strictly to
his own business, but that he has been perse-
cuted by Bridges and his supporters in every
way. About three weeks ago, as he was return
ing home one night, two shots were fired
at him, and since then, to avoid trouble, he
has gone out of his way and around by
another road. There is no doubt that Bridges
began the trouble on Friday, first shooting at
Barnett through the fence, while the latter was
engaged in milking his COW. There was no
fight between Mrs. Barnett and Mrs. Bridges as
reported.
Bridges has not yet been arrested, although it
is thought he is hidden somewhere west of the
city. The condition of Mr.. and Mrs. Barnett is
not yet much improved, and their recovery is
by no means assured.

of Mrs. M. A. Mckenzie, agent of the Wilcox &
Gibbs sewing machine, in the Halcyon Block,
and induced the colored %janitor to go with him
on an errand. The b~ook-keeper was left alone
in the office, and a man coming in a moment
afterward on the pretension that he wanted to
purchase a secondhand machine, he took the
visitor back into a rear room. The first caller
sent the negro j%anitor to the Grand Opera-house
Block to look for a person who did not live there,
and after the second caller had departed the book
keeper found that some one had entered the
Office during his absence in the rear of the build
ing and had stolen ninety-two dollars.

the attention of aspiring Legislators
should be called is the Inconvenience
attending the present requirements as

county officers. 1t is necessary that a
surety shall be n resident of the county.
and, as so great a proportion of the

is owned by corporations, it often
works hardship upon The officer giving
the bond through the difficulty he
experiences in getting sufficient
amount. The resident owners of real
property in some counties are often
sorely distressed by this provision of
the law, as they do not care to refuse
in SUCH n matter, neilher do they care
to pledge al their property for the
benefit of another. Public opinion is
enforcing the collection of penalties
against derelict officers, and this makes
those qualified as bondsmen think long
