The contestants of the Coburn will called
several newspaper correspondents yesterday

fused to allow the publication of the will in
the papers in this State until it had been

Senator Blair expresses himself as opposed
to either high or low license for the District
of Columbia, and in favor of nothing short
of absolute prohibition. He says he proposes
to devote his time to securing the adoption
of the bill introduced by him before the re-
cess, looking to more thorough knowledge
of the effects of intoxicants, in the interest of
the young people of this generation. The
liquor question is assuming gigantic proper
tions, and unless the Republican party comes
out squarely on the side of prohibitory en-
enactment and amendment to the constitu-
tion in his opinion its remissness may prove
fatal to its prospects.

would not. Albert was In his own opinion us

may have been fair estimate Of his value,
but the audience didn't So rate him When

collar of his coat and the sittingdOwn-part of

threw him into the street. Some time after
Albert again came in and sat near
Wallace, who Twas sitting near Joe Selby,

and threatened Wallace. Then Albert left the
hall, but lac soon returned aud repeated his
abusive conduct inviting Wallace To come out

turned to Wallace, and calling him son Of
something decidedly Objectionable, said he
would fix him Tomorrow. Then Albert left

wounds were dressed by DIR. Amos Graves.
The main injuries were II severe scalp wound
and cut over the eye. These injuries are not
dangerous, unless crysipelas sets in. To the
