BIRMINGHAM, Ala, November 1.-two
funerals took place here yesterday which
were largely attended and formed a eli
max Of an extraordinary tragedy. Rob-
ert Nabors was prominent physician at
Montevallo, in this State, and w. w.
Shortridge was successful lawyer in the
same place. Both were young men.
Some time ago Nabors employed Short
ridge to collect few claims against de-
linquent patients. The returns were not
satisfactory and the men quarreled, but
parted without coming to blows.
Last Saturday Nabors called at Short
ridges Office and the old trouble broke
out afresh. They finally agreed to fight
with bowie knives in darkened room
just off the Office. Removing their coats
and shoes the men entered the room and
fought blindly but desperately for nearly
ten minutes. The duel was one of the
most vicious ever reported in Alabama.
The men plunged their knives into each
other until they looked as though they
had been slaughtering beeves. Every
thing in the room was despatched with
blood.
Some persons living in the lower story
heard the noise of the duellists as they
rolled upon the floor, and ran upstairs to
separate the combatants. When the
door was broken open Nabors staggered
into the Office with the blood streaming
rom q dozen gashes in his face and
breast. Without saying word he rushed
down stairs still clasping the CORY knife
in his hand. Lying upon the floor of the
room was Shortridge. His head had
been .slashed in the most dreadful man.
ner. The arteries of his neck had been
severed, one eve had been gouged out,
and his hands were cut so terribly that
the fingers hung only by the tendons.
The man was dead.
Majors, after leaving the Office ran out
on the street, where his bleeding face
snd CORY garments spread CONSERVATION
among the Negroes. He seemed to be
cTazed with pain and staggered wildly
along the street until he reached store
where Albert Keenan,, Negro, stood in
tne doorway. Without saying word,
MAJORS rushed at Keenan, and struck
him with the knife The Negro ran into
the store where the now thoroughly
insane man made another desperate
lunge at him. Keenan, seized q gun
which was lying upon the counter
and then turned to face the madman,
who was in the act of making another
lunge with his knife. The two men
clinched, but Nabors, who was weak
from loss of blood, was no match for his
ANTAGONIST and was quickly thrown upon
the floor.
Before Nabors could get upon his feet
again Keenan, dealt him terrible blow
upon the head with the stock of his gun
and then leaping over his body ran into
the street and out of town. Nabors never
negained consciousness. His skull had
been fractured. He died at midnight
Keenan, cannot be found.

IS 1T A PRIVATE AFFAIR?
The Legality Of Combining witt

The Legality of Combining With
the Sugar Trust Being Tested.
New YORK, November 14.-The suit
brought by the Attorney General on be-
half Of the people of the State of New
York against the North River Sugar Re-
fning Company to dissolve that cor
poration on the ground that it had
exceeded the privileges granted it
by its charter in becoming one
Of the members Of the great sugar
trust" on the 1st of October, 1887,
with other sugar companies, " as brought
to trial to-day in the Supreme Court.
The action is one of the results of the
Senate Investigation Committee of last
winter, which for the first time brought
to light the deed of trust under which
the different sugar companies have
formed com bination.
It was substantially agreed at the out
set by the counsel that there would be no
controverted question of fact for the
court to pass upon, but it would merely
bea . question of law.
The formality of drawing a Jury was
then gone through with. The jury were
told that as the only question at issue
was one Of law for the court to pass up
on, their services would not be needed at
the trial. They were only required to
be present at the end of the case to 20
through the formality OF renderinga YER
dict as directed by the court. Counsel
agreed that the testimony to be offered
would not take any great length of time.
and that after to-day they would ask to
have the case adjourned until Wednes.
day next in order to argue questions of
law. With this understanding the Jurors
were dismissed until next Wednesday.
Attorney General Pryor opened the
ease for the people, and stated that the
North River Sugar Refining Company,
by entering into q combination with
other companies, had created monopo-
ly by putting the price of sugar into the
hands and under the control of board
Of trustees of the Trust, which usurped
the powers granted by the franchises of
each company.
George H. Miller, who was Secretary
Of the North River Sugar Refining Com
pany, was the first witness called by
General Pryor. He identified the deed
of the Sugar Refining Company, con-
veyed to the Trust.

but not much of general interest was
elected. He said the North River COM

Is per cent, which was retained by the
board. This closed the evidence on
both sides. The Judge decided to hear
the argument on the 9th instant, upon
the legal questions involved in the case.
When he advises his decision he will
then call jury and direct verdict in
accordance with his judgment.

GERMAN CATHOLICS.
STRUCTURES on the use of German In
the American Parishes.


CINCINNATI, November 14.-The dis
patch from Rome, saying that petition
had been presented to the Propaganda
protesting against the predominating in
huence Of German Catholics in America,
having been shown to prominent theo-
logian of this city, he said that such a
document had been on foot since the
last council at Baltimore; that the pc.
tition was presented at Notre Dame,
Indiana, and the Golden Jubilee of
Father Sorink, drawn by Archbishop
Ireland and sigred by seven Bishops,
embodying the request that the catechism
shall be taught only in the English Ian
guage, and that in those German parishes
whore sermons heretofore were preached
in German they would now be preached
in English; that no more festivities of a
German nature should be tolerated; in
short that everything German should be
abolished. Bishops Dwenger and Macs
were chosen to present the petition in
Rome.
