the blow knocked Phillips through a
saloon window, but regaining his feet
he fired three shots. none taking effect.
Phillips has of late made several per-
SOnal attacks on Jorden through the

went to the office and fired several shots
into the ceiling. He was placed under

Three Suspected Men.

Special to the Globe.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Feb. 2.-The
story told by Mrs. Sadie Tibbetts, of
Eau Claire, of the criminal assaults to
which she was subjected in this city a
short time ago was at first believed to
be greatly exaggerated. 1t was only
two or three days ago that the matter
was made public here, and there were so
many rumorS rife that it was not cred
tied until eX-Sheriff Weiner gave yer
sion of it to clear himself from the
charges. As he called the assailants
his friends, he gave no names. The
story has been thoroughly canvassed,
and the public has fixed upon two of
the men whom Mrs. Tibbetts says she
can identify. One is supposed to be a
horse dealer, and it is believed that it
was into bis barn that she was dragged.
The second man suspected is a young
clerk, who has several times before fig
ured in disgraceful scenes. The third
man is harder to fix upon, and num-
Der have rested under suspicion, but it
is being gradually sifted down to a
prominent business man. No arrests
have been made yet, but the city author
tiles say that they will unearth the
facts and do all in their power to bring
the offenders to Justice.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Mrs. Senator
Sabin received to-day. She closed her
home to callers last Thursday, out of re-
spect to Miss Murphy, her visitor, whose
brother-in law died. She also had John
/. Baker and bride as visitors, and as
they were to stay only short while,
wished to give them more of her time
than she could have done had she re-
ceived. To-day her reception was UNI
usually large. 1t seemed as if her
friends missed her last week and wished
to make it up this time. She was as
sisted by Mrs. Dr.. Hand, of st. Paul,
who wore dress of heliotrope
silk, with trimmings of royal
purple plush and violets; Mrs. DR.. Har-
vey, of Washington, pink silk, with
over-dress of black lace; Miss Carter, of
New York, pink silk, with Nile green
trimming, and Miss Flora Mcdonald, of
Minnesota, who wore a costume of
crimson silk. Mrs. Sabin'S dress was
made of cream gros grain silk, with gold
lace trimming, The neck was cut
square and filed with white silk tulle,
and bordered with gold lace, and at the
bosom she wore white flowers fastened
with large pin of diamonds, small dia-
mOnd earrings, and her black satin
slippers had each diamond three
leafed clover. Mrs. Sabin, by her quiet,
pleasant ways, has made many friends
in Washington. Tomorrow a dinner
in her honor will be given
by Mrs. Senator Evarts. Some
of her most distinguished guests were
the French minister, the Swiss minister,
lhe Italian minister, Mrs. Staining, Mr..
Youmans, Horatio and Nine. Guzman,
Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Secretary
and Mrs. Fairchild, Secretary and Mrs.
Endicott, Secretary and the Misses
Bayard. Mrs. Senator Davis also OBJ
served senatorial day and received a
large number of callers, and was as
sisted by her friend. Mrs. Bushnell, and
Miss Coykendall, Of New York. Mrs.
Davis dress was of the style know as
princess, and was made of sapphire
plush, with sleeves reaching nearly to
the wrists, and bordered with deep
ruffies of lace. At the neck the
collar of plush was pinned with large
diamond cross, below which, at the
bosom, the dress was cut heart shape
and filled in with blue silk embroidered
lace, corresponding with that at the
neck and sleeves. The court train was
faced with ruffiing of white lace. Miss
COykendall wore black MORE and vel
vet costume with lace trimmings and
diamonds. Mrs. Bushnell wore black
gros grain silk with point lace at neck
and sleeves, her ornaments being dia-

A JOURNALISTIC FIGHT.
Police Reporters on Two Chicago

Fist Fight.
CHICAGO, Feb. AIT o'clock this
morning Col. Monstery's fencing hall

several months growth, and large

trail station, but the gentlemen were
separated before much damage was
done. 1t was agreed, however, by
the friends of each that
the difficulty should be settled
somewhere before daylight with bare
knuckles, according to Lonnan prize
ring rules. A hundred reporters and
others had got wind of the affair, and
one of the principals refusing to fight
before a crowd, it was decided by the
half dozen or so most intimately
interested that it was best to dispense

spectively, arrived at the place of meet

one was there but Col. Monastery,
who had consented to serve as
referee, the men stripped to
their undershirts, put On fencing shoes
and went to work. Both went in for
blood. Six rounds were fought, and
once for each round Alberts went down.

WASECA, MIMI, Feb. "A man was

Arcade hotel, i'll this city, last night
about II O'clock. From papers found
upon his person it was learned that his
name was George T. Burdick, and that
his home was in or about DEBORAH, 10.
He was printer, and during the latter
part of Wednesday afternoon he called
at the different printing offices in the
city in search of employment, which he
did not receive. Having stated that he
was out of money, a collection
was taken up in the Radical Office and

AFTER-DINNER ORATORY.
Men and Women Who Can Talk

New York Press.
Men who can make capital after-din-
ner speeches are always envied by those
who cannot. A graceful little accom-
plishment like that ought to be part
of every gentleman's mental outfit, but
unfortunately, it is not. MOncure Con-
way is always happy in post-prandial
oratory. He has voice which gives
to everything he says peculiar drolI-
cry, and is suggestive of any amount of
funny things to come. And then, he
never forgetS to say neat thing about
the ladies, if it is only the Kentuckian's
motto, ''GOd bless 'em." And he can
be witty when he pleases. Gen. Horace
Porter is another who can keep the
table in a roar. He speaks in slow
drawl, which wins upon his hearers
before he begins to eXude wit. He
wears the air of Inconsistencies to per-
lection. And then his bright speeches
are helped along by his good looks.
Col. IngersOll lisa glorious after-dinner
speaker, and Mark Twain leads all the
rest. Mr.. HalStead is up to most of
Cnem Ill CnlS Drancn OF forensic art, and
makes hits over in Europe every sum
mer and here in the winter p. T. Bar
mum is interesting. but succeeds best
where there are no ladies, for the reason
that the presence of ''the fair'' I'M
nerves him. Ali the world knows that
Henry w. Grady made fame in a
single night on an after-dinner speech
The Southern gentleman is rarely
caught mapping when there is speech
making to do. 1t is a part of his educa-
ton which has had care. HIS high re-
spect for the Roman forum has inf1u-
enced his life. The late Henry Ward
Beecher was as inimitable as table
orator as in the pulpit.
There are some ladies who can hold
their own in after-dinner speeches, if
you please. And should not every lady
as well as every gentlemen be able to
acquit herself creditably in this social
field? Miss Kate Sanborn is always
capable of making bright little speech
with neat turn in it. Mrs. M. Louise
Thomas, president of Sorosis, is a dig
nified and serious speaker. Mrs. Eliza
Archard Conner is particularly pleas
ing speaker, who puts genuine humor
into the work. Mrs. Isabella Beecher
Hooker can keep her audience tittering
with laughter. Rev. Phoebe Hanaford
lifts her listeners upward. She is al
ways the same sweet spiritual soul, with
mind above all fOoliShneSS.

question should be considered as or
dered upon the resolutions reported by
the majority and minority OF the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Barry, of Mississippi, argued in
support of the majority resolution, de-
claring the seat vacant; and Mr.. Cooper,
OF Ohio, sustained the claims of the con-
testee, saying that the honor of Ameri-
can citizenship could not be taken from

Browns VALLEY. Mimi, Feb. o.
Last night, at 2 O'Clock, fire broke out
on the roof of Barrett Bros store. 1t
spread with wonderful rapidity, and in
spite of herculean efforts soon got the
mastery, and the building and its hard
ware contents are in ashes. In the
same block Erhlich's restaurant. Whit
ney's saloon and Mueller's barber shop
were also consumed. By tearing down
the latter building in season the ravages
of the fire were stayed. Had there been
a strong wind at this time all of Browns
Valley would have been swept clean.
The total loss is $4,000, and the total
insurance $500. Barrett Bros. lost
heavy, but they and the rest show
pluck.
