MAY END IN BLOODSHED.
A Bitter Fight Over the Whisky
Question in Kentucky.
A HUNDRED SHOTS ARE FIRED,
But Nobody Killed, Though Five Are
Wounded, in Fight With Local
Prohibition Law Brcakers-A
Judge Narrowly Escapes.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 23.-There is &
bitter fight in progress over the whisky
question at Harlan Court House, KY.
which bids fair to end in bloodshed
County Judge Lewis believed that d
great deal of whisky is being sold in the
town in spite OF the local prohibition
laws. Several procerymen were tried a
few days ago on the charge but no proof
was produced. The arrest enraged the
accused, and as Judge Lewis rode out Of
town in the evening he barely escaped
being shot by John II. Barley, one Of
them. Lewis rode back into town and
assembling the opponents of the traffic
proceeded to search the stores OF John
NJ. Blair, NJ. Z. Howard and others, sus-
pected. They found liquor in several
and rolled the barrels into the streets
and emptied the contents on the ground.
This was done under a guard OF twenty
men with Winchesters. Yesterday the
whisky men rallied and the two factions
in the street. A hundred
shots were fired but nobody killed. Five
were carried off badly wounded.

SHOWERS OF THE -QUEBR" ARRESTED
Two Counterreltors Caught In Pittsburgh.
Lots of Crooked Doodle Captured.

Two CounterTelters Caught In Pittsburgh
Lots of Crooked Doodle Captured.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 23.-Oilicers
Coulson and Styx made important ar.
rests this afternoon. They were OF two
counterfeiters who had in small satchel
some $4,000 in well executed green
backs, some silver dies for making half
dollars, and large gripsack in which
was packed $4,000 OF backs and fronts,
counterfeits well executed, apparently
from the original plates.
The arrests came about almost acCi-
dcntally. A young man named Graham,
who boards at Mrs. Kerr's, lS4 Fourth
avenue, came to City Hall this after
noon and inquired for the detectives.
He was shown up to Inspector McAlees'
room, on third floor, and asked there for
0'Mara. Officer Coulson was on duty
and told him McAlees and Ohlara were
out. Graham then told Coulson that
he had his suspicious about couple OF
well.dressed young men, about 20 years
OF age, who were boarding where he
was, and had been there since last We'd
nCsday; that Il gray-bearded farmer was
with them this morning, and it looked
us il they were trying to play the Doodle
game on him. Mr.. Graham said to
COulson that they might be all right,
but it would be well to watch them.
Coulson telcphoned TO the Central
station for Sergeant Styx to meet him on
Smithheld street, corner Diamond alley,
and started at once for the locality, de.
termined to arrest the whole party and
prove his suspicious afterward. The
two officers hurried down TO No. -lS4
Fourth avenue and met the two young
men in the hall Just coming out.
He took hold OF the first one, took the
grip sack from him and handed bis pris-
oner over to officer Styx. Walking
back to the room on the ground floor
the second man called COulsOn by name
and said he knew so and 80, and added:
"Here is all | have got, take it and cut
me loose. Here is a thousand dollars,
take it and let me 60"
"Let us see your money" said Coul-
son, whereupon the young man pulled
out two packages OF twenty dollar bills,
five hundred in each package. Coulson
rammed them in his pocket and the
counterfciter then said, "Let go my
arm" Coulson replied: "If you try to
run will kill you," and he took tirmer
grip on his arm and lifted the heavy
satChel out OF his hand.
The old man followed along and the
whole party were locked up in the Cen
trail station. The large satchel when ex.
anined ut the Central station contained
S35,O0O ofhandsOmely executed counter
felt money, and there was over $4,000
in the small one.
The men said they were from Phila:
delphia, but Coulson says lie saw one OF
them in Memphis not long ago.

MIR. RANDALL FATALLY ILL.,
He Has Cancer In the Stomach md His
Career Must End.

He Has Cancer In the Stomach nnd His
Career Must End.
WAsIuSGToS, D. c., July 23.-The fear
that Samuel J. Randall would in all
probability not be able to again resume
his seat in this Congress, and also that
his physicians might forbid his ever
again accepting nomination topublic
office, has within the past few days be-
come certainty.
The long and honorable public career
of this faithful servant OF the people is
definitely ended, for his physicians have
discovered that he is suffering from
cancer Of the stomach, and they are
forced to the conviction that it is incur
able. Their examination has not pro-
Cecded further than this asyet, but there
is ut least hope that the effects OF the
maladv are not Immediately dangerous.
When Mr.. Randall was suddenly
stricken n fortnight ago his family ply
sician, DR.. Thomas +. Mallon, had not
known that he had been under treat
ment for the hemorrhages. He had ap-
parently also concealed the fact from his
family, but it isnow known that DR.. Rob
ert Martin, OF Philadelphia, had per-
formed an operation upon him for the
disease.
DR.. Martin, it will be remembered, was
away from home when the telegram was
sent summoning him here, aud DR.. Ma
than S. Lincoln, the eminent physician
of ti.is city, was called in consultation
by DR.. Martin. Both, after careful ex-
animation OF their patient, united in de-
Gliding that the disease is, without ques-
ton, cancer OF the stomach.
They decline to express any. opinion
or to give statement for the public,
but it is known that both have ex-
pressed themselves with reserve to asso.
ciate physicians, and that the sad truth
cannot longer be concealed. Mr.. Ran
dali himself had previously had no sus'
picion of the fact, but bears its revela-
ton with characteristic fortitude.
It has been stated that he would
shortly be removed to his home in Penn.
sylvania. DR.. Mallon, however, is very
uncertain OF the prudence OF this. In o
few days an exact diagnosis OF his con
dition will be possible, and its result
will decide whether it will be best tc
take him from Washington.

THE HEALTH COMMITTEE
Instructs Health onIcer Reed to Get Fuel
For the Crcmntnry.

InAtrmcts Health OiiIceT Reed To Get Fuel
For the Crcmntory.
The Council Committee on Health
held regular meeting at the Public
Building last Icvening and audited the
usual monthly bills. Health Officer
Reed was instructed to try aud arrange
with the Observation-Disclosures Gas
Company for u supply OF gas for the
garbage crematOry until such time as
the Natural Gas Company Of West Vir-
pinia shall have its lines repaired and
again be able to furnish fuel. The ere
matOry, while it presents from the city
an utterly useless and wrecked appear
anCr, has during this warm weather
been doing good work, and the failure
OF the gas supply is something OF con-
siderable moment. Garbage and
night soil is plantiiul these days,
but since Thursday there has been no
way Of disposing Of it. Collectors are
not allowed under the impure water law
to dump in any OF the running streams,
and it is rapidly becoming serious
problem as to what is TO he done with
the accumulations Of disease provoking
refuse, which, MS all know, is specially
dangerous during this warm weather.
There is no provision at the crematory
for using coal, and if there were 1t
would be a difficult matter TO get it up
on the hill. 1t does not require much
gas for the daily run, and il is thought
that there will be no trouble arranging
with the Wheeling Company, which is
now supplying the West Virginia's pri.
vate consumers with what little is
needed.
