On Thursday, the Sth inst, Sim Kennedy,
colored. shot and killed Michel Young, also

Assumption parish. It appears that during
the absence of Kennedy from home his

his arrival had been taken from her by
Young. Thereupon Kennedy and his wife
armed themselves and proceeded to the
house Of Young, which they found closed.
Kennedy inserted his gun through an aper-
ture in the door and fired, killing Young.
The latter's wife jumped out the window in
her fright and was fired upon by Mary Ken

escaped and had not been apprehendea up
to last accounts, but his wife was arrested
and Is Low confined in the Napoleonville

PART SECOND.
A Costly Fight.

Quite lively scrspping match occurred
about 1880 this morning in the alley in the
rear OF Defenbach's livery stable, between
Peter Finch and John B. Abel. Finch for
merly had charge OF the business Of the
Springfield Ice Co., but was replaced a few
days ago by Abel. He still had in his pos
session a few traps belonging to the concern,
which Abel had requested him to turn over
They met on Market Square this morning
and Abel repeated the request, at the same
time threatening to attach the goods. Finch
was angry and said be would not give them
up until Abel turned over a basketand bride
bit that belonged 10 him. They started to
Detfenbach's to get these, and on the way a
few angry words passed between them.
Finally, Abel claims, Finch struck him on
the head. Abel then turned and thumped
him in very lively fashion about the head
and face. In the course Of the fray Finch
seized Abells gold watch, broke the chain,
and threw the 'ime-piece quite distance,
breaking it up pretty badly. After the row
was over Abel came up to Squire Stout's Of
flee and bad himself arrested. Finch was
brought in and examined and Abel was
fined So and costs. No sooner was this done
than officer Wilson came down and arrested
him on warrant for disorderly conduct. He
will be tried tomorrow afternoon.

Manner In Which News of Gen. Grants
Death Was notwithstanding Bells and
Mourning Embiems, But No Crowds or
Unusual Sensation.
Shortly after nine o'clock this morning the
following bulletin was received, by Western
Union telegraph, at this Office:
CINCINNATI, July %.
GLoBE-REPUBLIc, Springfield General
Grant died at s O8 a. N.
About the same time a similar dispatch was
taken from the wires at the G. c. G.. 81.
passenger station and the contents became
speedily known all over the city and while
received without surprise by most
people the announcement created
universal sorrow, and the cad occurrence was
almost the one subject OF conversation. Word
was sent Immediately to the Central engine
house and after the other houses and water
works had been notified the big alarm bell
was tolled, by tapping, using the same appa-
| rstus as was used at the time of President
Garfeld's death; first single strokes alternat-
ing with "G3," the number of years of the
distinguished deceased. In a short time, al
so, flags began to appear at half mast and
| mourning decorations of deepest sable, drap-
ing the National colors. Among these were
the hall of Mitchell Post, No. As, G. A. R.,
in the Buckingham building, from which
the large garrison flag fosted at half-mast
and the mourning draperies hung out in
memory of President James A. Garfield die
played in festoons from the windows. An
order was also telephoned Superintendent
Dick at Fernclif cemetery to hali-mast the
flag over the Soldiers Mound. Appropriate
| action will be taken at the regular meeting
| OF the Post this evening. At various points
are seen draped flags and portraits of the dead
warrior, showing that Springfield people have
just appreciation of the extent OF the ma
| tons loss. While the event was not unex-
pected, as in Garfelds case, the circumstances
were not tragic, as in that, nor the resul 8
| so portentious. Consequently the crowds
| which gathered about bulletin boards were
much smaller than four years ago, and there
was no special excitement number OF
citizens, ex-soldiers under Grant and others
met informally at the Mayors office, before
noon, and upon their suggestion bis Honor,
Mayor Goodwin, issued the following call for
q public meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, at his office;
Call for a Public Meeting,
The telegraph brings the sad news Of the
| death OF our world renowned coun,ryman and
hero, General U. y. Grant. II is eminently
fitting and proper that the citizens Of Spring
field should meet and take such action as shall
properly manifest our sorrow for the loss of
such an eminent soldier and statesmen Of the
Republic. ! therefore ask the citizens of our
city 10 meet at my Office tomorrow, Friday,
July "a, at 10 a. m, to take such measures
as shall be deemed best 10 publicly express
our feelings on this occasion.

Grand Army Executive Committee.

Another well-attended meeting was held
last evening OF the Grand Army Day Exec
utive Committe, but only routine business
was transacted. 1t is thought best to an
nouuce this early, In order that there may be
no Misunderstanding, that it will be danger
Gus for people to drive horses anywhere near
the spot selected for the display OF fireworks
on the night Of the 7th OF August, and for
that reason only, and certainly not with in.
tent OF interfering with the rights or con-
venience OF any, the rule has been made and
will be rigidly enforced that no teams or car
riages will, on the night Of the dis-
play, be allowed west of the east line
Of the race track, the space in the northwes,
corner of the Fair Grounds, beyond the three.
quarters pole, being that selected for the dis
play. Proper attention to this order now will
prevent confusion and unpleasantness at the
last.
Gov. Hoadly, and s,af OF 10 officers in full
uaiiorm will be here on the 7th and have
headquarters on the camp ground. Passes
over railroads leading from New York 10
Springfield have been received for Corporal
Tanner, the disabled veteran who goes a little
ahead OF anybody else now in mind, in Civ
ing soldier talks at these reunions, and the
corporal will surely be present.
A special invitation was issued to Colonel
W.. J. White and mounted staff OF the Seventh
regiment, U. N. g., Go. A Of that regiment,
the Fifth battery and Bushnell Guard to take
part, as escort, in the grand parade.
