A LOVERS QUARREL.
Exciting Scene Between Festive Bachelor
and Hysterical Female.


RIcHNoND. Ind, Nov. 11.-What was SEEM
ingly family quarrel in a quiet neighbor-
hood, about II o'clock last night, and put
every denizen agog to know which of their
number had suddenly taken such freak,
proves to have been occasioned by imported
talent on the part of the lady, who pitched
her voice at such skyward octave, while the
other high principal of the affair was the
bachelor brother of the wife of prominent
merchant.
The gay and festive bachelor was AL Van
Metre, salesman in J. S. Taylor & Co.'S
wholesale iron store. and his female COM
paAiOn a Miss Barnwell, who lives north of
the city. Al has been sweet on her for many
moons, and with her il was so thorough a
case of mash that when she heard he was
basking in the smiles of others, she could
not control the green-eyed monster
that last night got full possession of
her. Accordingly she went to the residence
OF his brother-in-law, with whom he board
ed, and called him out. and demanded that
he take her home. Seeing she was loaded
for trouble, he was quick TO comply. hoping
to get her away from the house, and they
promptly adjourned TO the alley. where he
was getting his horse and buggy out of the
stable. when she went Off in fit of hyster-
les that awoke the neighborhood. And she
not alone made vigorous use OF her lung
power, but "she scratched as cats and
women will" blowing burrows in his face
from which the blood dropped to his vest.
A couple of police were attracted to the
scene, but they have been mum about the
matter to-day, thinking that as she finally
got in the buggy and was driven home it
was only lovers quarrel.

stand, the Judge completed his sentence,
and sentenced him TO be hanged on the 26th

conducted him to the Jail.

Eastern clergymen have been inves-
tigating the attendance, or rath-
er the non-attendance, of working
people artisans, mechanics and
others of that. class at divine ser
vice, and report as the result of their
observations that not more than five
per cent. are regular attendants at
places Of worship. While these figures
are discouraging, the reasons alleged
for non-attendance are much more so,
since it is stated that working men
and their families, finding that they
cannot dress as elegantly as their rich
er neighbors, and are thus not able to
make so creditable an appearance ia
the sanctuary, prefer to stay away
rather than 90 in their less costly
clothing. The working men may be
blamed, but, after all, it is only poor
human nature on both sides. The
rich are ostentatlous of their wealth
and the poor their poverty-but it
does seem as if there might be one
place where they could mingle on
common ground-outside the grave
yard-and that is in public worship.

the causes of the decline OF agricultur-

referring to the days when they were
Independent and self-sustaining, it
says: To-day in the larger economy

Minnesota comes to the door of the
farmer in New England cheaper than
flour from his own field, while ''home-

organized labor at the most favorable

dividual and scattered industry of its
