Wednesday evening that resulted with
out serious bodily injury to either OF the
participants. 1t occurred in W. H.
Browns store between the proprietor and
Thomas Mansfield, who. under the inau.
ence of liquor, asked for loan Of IS.
The request was refused, and Mansfield I
became abusive and vile in his language. !
He finally drew q revolver, which, while
he was Aourishing it. aew from his grasp ,
to one corner Of the room where a strug-

finding that he was no match physically
for his opponent opened = draw Of his
desk and seized pistol therein, firing
shot that struck Mansfield directly over
the heart, knocking him down. Regain.
ing his feet he staggered and fell again
| Just in time to save himself from second
bullet from Browns pistol which passed
harmlessly over his PROSTATE body and
entered sack Of -four at the rear Of the
store. At this juncture crowd had col
lscted, and Mansfield made his exit
through a side entrance Of the building.
Upon examination of the wounded man
the bullet was found to have perforated
the coat and vest only, leaving the shirt
intact and making . slight abrasion OF
the skin underneath. His life was
doubtless saved by several thicknesaes Of
paper contained in the breast pocket of
. his coat, which stopped the force and
detected the bullet from ito course. Mr..
Brown was placed under arrest, but was

A Runaway Freight Train.

ST. Louis, Feb. S-A freight train consisting
Of sixty-two cars. heavily laden, while running
up Popular street from the river, this morning
separated in the middle and Immediately the
rear portion of the train started back down the
grade. The brakemen did all in their power TO
arrest the progress of the runway cars, but their
efforts were unayailing, and in order to save
their lives abandoned the train to its fate Each
foot of its backward course increased the speed,
and almost Immediately several Of the cars be-
gan swaylng from side to side and soon several
Jumped the track but still kept on their down
ward course crashing into the houses which line
the street and leaving destruction in their wake
Ono of the cars became ditched, however and
this arrested the progress Of those behind it.
The others continued in their mad career. some
of the track and some on, until they were ton
pied over into the river. Several houses on
Poplar street, from Fifth street, whore the two
portions of the train became separated, to Sec
ond street were damaged, and almost every
house from thence to the river was badly
wrecked. The debris of the wrecked cars and
houses now strew the track. which it will require
several hours to remove. The loss can scarcely
be estimated at present on account OF the con-
fusion, but it is thought to be about ZOO. No
one received injuries OF a serious character.

THE WHEN N
A DEFIANT LEGISLATOR.
Mr.. Owens Demonstrates that He Is Bigger
Man than the Speaker Of the House.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb 8-There was lively
sentativss. at Frankfort, KY. this afternoon. A
bill to amend the Citizens Gas Company's char
ter was up for consideration. Representatives
Owens and Spalding friends of the gas COM
pany, opposed the amendment, and sought to
delay consideration by filibustering. Owens
called for the yeas and nays on a motion, but
Speaker Offutt ruled him out of order. as he
heard no second to the call. Owens said Mr..
Spalding had seconded the call, and would not
sit down, saying that he did not care what the
Speaker ruled; he knew his rights, and intended
80 have them.
Speaker Offutt and Mr.. Owens glared at each
other. and the former said: 'The gentleman
from Scott is out of order. He will take his seat
If he fails to take his seat, the Sergeant-atarms
Will compel him to be seated" Mr. Ofutt spoke
with vigor and determination. Mr. Owenss face
flushed deeply, and he responded quickly, II
shall not take my seat until have had my
rights as a member of the House. ldefy any
man to touch me- defy the Sergeant-at-arms,
and shall stand here and assert my rights. II
there are forty sergeants-atarms they cannot re-
move me from this place. nor make me take my
seat"
This defiance Of the House produced tre-
mendous sensation. The lobbies were breath
less and as OweEs stood there with his head
thrown little back and his right hand pointed
at the Speaker, for the moment he had the
House at bay. Mr.. Offutt called repeatedly. Ito
Sergeant-at-arms Calibet to seat Mr.. Owens.
Owens naid no attention TO the feeble request OF
sNhsf Sergeant-at-aTms, and finally the Speaker
said that if Mr. Owens's call for the yeas and
aays was seconded, he would allow the roll to be
sailed.
Mr.. Owens said it had been seconded, and the
yoll was called. Mr.. Owens sat down, and peace
spread her wings over the house.

THE SUIT AGAINST DR.. KlTTREDGE.
The Clergyman's Cause Warmly Endorsed by
DR.. Thomas and Prof Swing.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-The suit for libel com
menced by Police Justice Mech against Rev
Kittredgc, for the latters arraignment of
the former in the matter r the fning
of the Hankins gamblers dollar
each. was touched upon by both Dr.
Thomas and Prof. Swing. in their sermons yes
terday. DR.. Thomas in the course of his ad-
Dress said:
''The ministers Of this country are men among
men, and their relation to their fellow-men is
ter, by OF his relation to his ellow-beincs
houd stand for verythng that is just and
good. The minister's Office is TO hold up the
abuses OF right, as we'll AS to teach about the
good, the true and the beautiful Whether JUS
tice Mech received bribe or not, or whether it
could be proved in court or not. there was an ir
repressible feeling that his decision in that case
was a strange one. The 225 men taken before
the court were not boys. but men, arrested in
one of the worst gambling-hou in Chicago.
Until the Justice explained why he changed the
charge to disorderly conduct he should not COM
plain that he was criticised Upon the surface
the look was that some corrupting influence was
brought to bear. Dr. Kittredge was not SO slow
as the speaker. nor so deliberate He might or
ight not have been correct in his conclusions
about the bribery. bat Dr. Kittredge was fight
ing on the right side He would not only be
sustained by his large church, but by the entire
w eSC Clu0.
Prof Swing said the fining of gamblers one
dollar each on disorderly charge was not a step
in advance. 1t showed that idle loafers were
receiving too much favor from the administra-
tors of justice. There seemed only dollar of
difference between the Office of the one and the
pursuit of the other The substantial argument
of Dr. Kittredge should be upheld by all lovers
of the city's veal, and every endeavor made to
bring about condition of things when a court
of justice could never be court of injustice and
and when the workman, with his dinner-pail,
was more esteemed than two hundred loafers in
public resort.
