The hour of seven had barely tolled this
morning, when sanguinary encounter
took place at the Golden Eagle clothing
store between two prominent citizens, the
parties to the fracas being DR.. G. G. Craig,
health commissioner, of the city, and Mr..
o. J. Dimick. Active hostilitiss were
engaged in however, only by the caterer
of pills, as he held his adversary in vice
like grip. and pummeled him until the
claret flowed, and then let him go.
The difficulty between the gentlemen is
the cholera hog question. For some time
past Mr.. Dinick has been loud in his de-
nunciations against the health commits,
sioner for alleged negligence to sanitary
measures which he thought should be
enforced. 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Dimick offered to act as health commits
sioner free of charge. but the city council
did not see fit to accept his services. All
this, of course, was very unpleasant to
DR.. Craig, and meeting Mr. Dimick this
morning he asked for an explanation,
meantime grabbing him. 1t was only a
few moments until the lie passed, and
then the doctor let loose his dogs of war,
as above stated, and gave Mr.. Dimick q
severe drubbing. The latter gentleman
took his medicine philosophically, but evil
IDENTIFY does not desire a repetition of the
dose. We are sorry to see this ill>feeling
cropping out, and both gentlemen have
acted q little hastily, but when ones
blood is up reason is lost sight of, and
nothing but gore will suffice. Craig and
Dimick should now shake hands over the
bloody chasm, and forget the unpleas'
antries of the past.

The McCabes cannot force me TO be
guilty of such unprofessional conduct as
questioning their ability. | simply want
ed to learn something about it and there
fore. on March IA, made the following
offer:
If McCabe Bros. will withdraw the
display of photos made by Gaylord and
Miller & Co, and display only such work
as has been made during their (McCabe's)
month of ownership" etc, etc.
If the McCabes can't understand such
simple language they haye sadly neglect
ed their education in proving around the
country for remnant and bankrupt stocks,
and / would advise them to consult some
book dealer regarding a treatise on the
English language for beginners. for such
ignorance as theirs alarms me. They may
next try to make photos with some of
their yard sticks and then-well words
fail me.
The facts are the McCabes are ashamed
of the work they were making when my
offer was written. If not why don't they
display it for the sake of the $25 they
would make for St. Luke's? And does
offer No. 2 contain any of those dreadful
'gauZy technicallties' that they are
afraid of it CT is the firm like all other
wind bags-mnus back bone?

Two Men Jump Into George HeoratRs

A daring attempt at burglary occurred
about $50 this afternoon, the particulars
of which are as follows: George Heorath's
horse and cart was standing in front of
his butcher ahop. No. s211 Fourth ave-
nue., when two men came along and
jumping in the vehicle started the
horse on brisk trot. A passer by no.
ticed the incident and telephoned police
headquarters, but could not wake up
"cop" for some time. The fellows head
ed for Moline at a 2 40 gait, and had got
past the bailiwick before policeman
could be found. The attention of many
persons was attracted by the rapid gait
al. which the men drove, and Marshal
Kittilson got upon their track, which was
towards Coal Valley. The thieves are
young looking and well dressed. II is
very likely that they will be captured be-
fore night comes on.

 ALBANY, Jan. 19.-At the conclusion of the legislative session this evening MT. Baker, of Washington, called the joint caucus to order, nominating Senator MacCarthy as chairman On assuming the chair MT. Mac Carthy asked the pleasure of the caucus. It was moved that a viva voce vote be taken on candidates and that each member rise and announce his vote. This was regarded as a test. Mortons adherents protested against it, but it was adopted by GA to .2S. Cogges- hall, Daggett, Fassett and Vedder of the Senate opposed it with twenty-four members of the Assembly: Mir. Howe presented Mr Evarts as a candidate and Senator Afkell sec onded the nomination. Senator Lansing on behalf of. M1. Leslie w. Russell and his sup porters also seconded MT. Evarts' nomina- tion MT Hubbell seconded the nomina- tion on behalf of Mr. Hiscock and his friends and claimed that western New York was substantially a unit for MT. Evarts. General Barnum in an eloquent speech offered the name of MT. Levi F. Morton and urged that practical leadership in practical politics WAS more than ever neces- sary to Republican success. General Barnuih wss succeeded by Mir Williams, of Chautaqua, in warfn advocacy of Morton. Senator Baker followed in speech which he concluded by reading letter from Judge Danforth strongly advocating MT. Evarts. Mir. Husted presented the name of MT. Chauncey M. Depew. A vote was then talk en, resulting in 61 for Evarts, 29 for Nor ton and for Depew, Senator MaeCarthy and Mr. Carlisle changing from Eyarts to Depew Mr. Evarts was therefore declared the Republican candidate for Senator.

The wonderful Story Maine Ex-
 Soldier Tells.
 From the Lewiston CMe.) Journal1
 One of the many good deeds of Mrs. Sa- rah Sampson, of Bath, to whom Congress is asked to give a pension, was the nursing back to life of soldier boy, who now is a prominent business man in 8 Maine city, we'll known politically and socially through out the State, and favorite everywhere. This gentleman has had an experience through which few men have passed. He literally has attended his own funeral. He told me the following remarkable story upon the condition that I would withhold his name:
 ''When the war broke out," said he, 'I was puny boy of seventeen years, one of the sickly kind not worth their feed. I lived in Waterville and enlisted with the famous Waterville college company. I was so inferi or a fellow physically that they set out not to take me, but was bound to go and elev- en others said they would go if I went and would stay at home if I did not go. So l went to the front with the Third Maine regi- ment of infantry, and November, 1861, found me in Camp Howard, Alexandria, Va. The camp was named for General o. O. Howard, who commanded the regiment. "You can judge of what kind of youngs- l ter was from the fact that at the first battle of Bull Run the first lieutenant of my com pany loaded my gun for me.
 ssWell, one day while we were in camp al l Alexandria we were ordered out to Fairfax Court House on short expedition and took | cold. l aggravated it by lying on the damr ground after my return, and the next thing was stricken with diphtheria. Some of my chums had me removed to the hospital tent and told the officers that must have al | done for ne that care and money could do. "They were very good to me, but I grew l worse.

Dancing In Masquerade Costume.


 The first mask ball of the season was given at Harugari Liedertafel hall last night and about fifty couples danced to the lively strains of music furnished by Mallon's or chestra. F. Dahlmeyer led the march. The programme embraced twenty-two dances and an intermission for supper. The floor pre- scented an animated scene. As usual Night and Morning were on hand and number of flower girls. A Chinaman and baboon were seen dancing with peasant girls and dude with Norfolk jacket and canvas slip pers cavorted around among the numerous dominoes There seemed to be a scarcity of males, the men generally preferring to wear nothing over their faces which would interfere with the free consumption of beer. To the following committees are due much of the success of the affair: Floor commit tee, R. Munger, L. Kohlmar, M. Crommlez, o. Bassmann, G.
