Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 25-News has
reached here OF desperate fight be-
tween several young men In Union coun-

named Ailor.' Tue difficulty occurred at
a magistrates Office, where one OF the
Ailors WAS on trial for some small of
tense, and in WHICH the Ledgerwoods
were interested Witnesses. Knives were
the only weapons used, and every one
OF the eight oombatants were more or
less injured. The foar Ailor boys got
the worst of the fight. and two OF them
received fatal wounds. One of them re-

spinal cord. Another had his throat cut
from ear to ear, and his scalp laid open
fer several inches. Still another received
stab on the knee, breaking the cap
The other Ailor was severely stabbed in
o dozen places, and he is expected to
die. The affray lasted several minutes

if possible or as soon thereafter as
possible. There is good deal to be
done, the carriers to be provided and
their bonds forwarded to Washinton
for approval and returned, their uni.
forms secured etc. In addition the
city has to be districted. Judge
Gerald is putting forth his best efforts
and will do his part without fail
while the only thing which may delay

namely running streets and number

best of the curiosities is the proprie-
tor himself, fat, jolly, perfect Mark
Taply, coming out strong when every
body else is gloomy, and, in bad
times laughing and good natured,
when everybody else are going
around with long faces. The Curiosi-
ty Shop is veritable museum and
contains everything useful and orna-
mental that Is already made or that
is going to be invented in the next
fifty years. 1t is an immense build
ing full from ceiling to garnet. When,
if you see thing you don't want, ask
for something else no matter what
and they will pull it out of some cor
ner. Parties going to housekeeping
can furnish house there from fine
bedroom set to a nutmeg crater or a
paper of pins. A preacher can get an
outfit OF theology, a doctor of medi-
cine, mechanic of tools, the place is
chuck full Of everything for every
body. And then as to prices and
terms the curiosity shop fits the fat
purse of the banker or the lean purse
OF the laborer, one as well as the
other. 1t is daisy old place is the
Curiosity Shop and worth ten cents
