FRACAs IN A STABLE.


A Veterinary Surgeon, Attacked by
Negro with a Cobble Stone, Opens Fire
on his Assailant.
Early yesterday morning a muscular
negro named Albert Washington called
on DR.. Dillon, veterinary surgeon and
proprietor OF the stable corner Of York
and West Broad streets, and demanded
that be pay him small Dill
which he claimed 70 be due him
for services as enc Of the employees
of the stable. Dillon told him that he
could not pay the bill, as Washington had
already authorized him TO pay the
amount TO the wife of Bill Graves,
who had a claim against him on account
of board. Washington said he did not
care anything about that, but he wanted
the money. Dillon repeated the state
ment to him In order to refresh his memory
as to the time and cireum stances under
which be had instructed him to pay the
money to the woman, and added that the
amount had already been paid to her as
directed. Dillon, believing that these eX-
plantations were sufficient, went into
his office and began to eat MS
breakfast, Washington remaining near
the West Broad street door,
where be repeated that he didn't care
- for anybody; he wanted the money
and told him that he couldn't have it,
when the negro went into the street and,
picking up a cObble stone, entered the
stable door and threatened that If he was
not paid he would take 1t out, and used
other threatening language. Dillon opened
the drawer of the desk in the office and
seized a 3S-calibre revolver, and told
Washington that if he had come there to
kill anv one he might meet man
who could kill as fast as he, and
in view of this fact he had better
begin at once. The negro, however.
stood his ground inside the stable, and as
be again raised the cObble stone Dillon
pointed his pistol at him and snapped.
The cartridge failed to explode. The ne
gro did not attempt to move until Dillon
raised the weapon the second time and
fred when he ran from the stable and
quickly disappeared around the corner.
Dillon followed as far as the stable door,
but saw nothing of him. Show

Editor Morning NetcS: While so much
is written looking to the sanitary con-
ditiOn of the city there is one very
important item which seems TO have
been overlooked. The writer noticed
the run about 200 yards from the Waters
road to have become still water and a
ouagmire. Heretofore it was a water
run of much force. Perhaps it was neces-
sary that the rice crops be flooded to the
detriment of public travel and danger to
the health of the city, as all the bitches
empty into the run. ?. A writer speaks
of arching the BilbO canal. Would it pay
the city to erect a three-wire fence on each
side the right of way and give the priv
lege to some responsible man 10 plant
hedge'ot Palma Christi and suntiower on
each side! These plants are abs0rDents
of noxious vapors. The seed alone will
annually pay more than the costs of every
kind. The writer believes there is now
no question as 10 the fact that Palma
Christi and sunflower hedges absorb
noxiOus Vapors. The only objection to
the sunfiower is that July would be the
time to plant as the tree dies after the seed
is produced, which gives an average lite
of three months. The Palma Christi will
grow luxuriantly until frost, and on the
banks of the canal attain extensive
growth. Time of planting-April. And
could not the bitches contiguous to the
Bilbo canal be flushed out at spring tidess

Is a very good thing, and where real merit
