Longview, Texas, Aug. 19.-Last
night between II and o'clock while
the colored band festival was in full
blast there occurred q bloody and per-
haps fatal fight. Fronie Robinson, a
grass widow, was filled with jealousy
for Minnie Robinson, who is also a
grass widow and had sworn she would
whip Minnie if she ever interfered in
any way with her love affairs. Min
ME did not heed. but made herself
very agreeabl indeed to the object Of
their mutual affection, and was in q
fair way to steal the boon Fronie
sought. This so enraged Fronie that
she got stick of stove wood and ask
ed Minnie out. Failing to get her out
she struck her over the head and
both clinched, when friends of both
joined in the fight, making general
fight, during which Minnie procured
a large carving knife and cut Fronie
five times in the back and breast.
One of the wounds is just below the
right shoulder blade bone, penetrated
the lungs, and is thought to be fatal.
The sight Of Fronie, dressed in what
was once fine white ball dress, but
now soaked with her own blood, was
shocking. Her clothes were COM
pletely hacked up about the waist,
her corset having saved her many
cuts. All concerned in the ARRAY are
under arrest to await Fronie's con-
ditiOn.

A correspondent of foreign Jour.
nal in letter from Sophia, gives this
account of an exciting battle between
storks and eagles, of which he was an
eye witness: Early on Thursday
morning we saw an unusually large
number of eagles, prabably about
200, taking their flight toward the
mountains of the Jantra. a crowd of
persons watched the spectacle. and
the crowd greatly increase a few
hours later, when number of storks
not fewer than 800, flew straight to.
ward the regiment Of eagles, evident.
~ bent on war. In an instant eagles
and storks were mingled in deadly af.
fray. 1t was fearful combat. Every
now and then a wounded or dead bird
stork or eagle, fell to the ground. The
battle lasted for nearly an hour, when
the I two enemies, apparently weary of
night. flew off IN opposite directions.
Upon rough reckoning it was est.
mated that at least third of the com.
Datants fell in the severe struggle.
Inc project sent some men up into the
mountains to count the dead eagles
and storks. The people are quite
eager to know which OF the two armies
was victorious. Probably, as in many
wars OF unfeathered bipeds. the adj.
vantage lay on either side."

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

Senator Regain, OF Texas, has intro
duced q bill for tho free coinnge OF sill

Yer bullion OF the value OF $50 or moro

This bill has the true ring, AMI its
passage would solve the silver question
by restoring silver to its old standard.
1t would repeal the Infamous legislation
OF 1879, which for the first tins in tho
history Of the couEtry, suspended the
gal tender power to five dollars at any
one payment.
It il not to be expected that the bill
will pass the Senate. AZ the majority Of
that body is in league with Wall Street.

it.
1t might be urged that President
Cleveland, who in his message concurs
in tho recommendation Of the Secretary
OF the Treasury that the coinage of sill
YER be suspended, would veto tue bill,
but the Senate will not be disposed to
,give him opportunity, AZ that body is
not kindly disposed toward the metal.
Should the bill pass. however, and tho
President refuse to sign it, very few
would regret his dafeat.-l Silver State.

mention OF our politics in English papers
is the great argument my Republican
friends, advance and they will not be-
lleve but that it is the thought of Eng
land. In the October Cosmopolitan
Magazine" non-political publication in
an article entitled "The Millionaires of
New York." find this statement in re-
gard to Andrew Carnegie, whose fortune
1t says is somewhere between twelve and
fifteen million dollars
"He has ample faith in the powers of
the press to effect wholesome and desir-
able reform and he controlled not long
since eighteen newspapers in the United
Kingdom of the most liberal principles"
That is the exact statement. Now,
Carnegie is one of our Republican mill
lionaires whose infant industries need
all the Protection with a capital p that
they can get, else Mr.. Carnegie might
have to suffer on something less than
million and half year. So, after the
battered and revolutionized Jimmy had
led the Republican party into going back
on it's own assertions, he told this i'm
porter of foreign labor that few Eng
lish puffs would help this wholesome
and desirable reform" along beautifully,
and Carnegie, having "ample faith and
control of eighteen English papers," saw
the point. But perhaps we do the es-
teemed gentleman wrong; perhaps they
were just riding over the beautiful hills
of Scotland in the famous tally-ho for
ah-ahem-their health.

ward of a thousand imported Negroes
are now colonized there. Bleecker street
| is full of them; so is the neighborhood
of Ninteenth street and Sixth and Sew
enth avenues.
The subject OF colonization will be pre-
sented to the committee at Tammany
Hall at its meeting tonight, and it is ex-
pected that effective measures will be
devised to locate, identity and root out
the frauds.
The first man caught registering illeg-
ally this year was brought before Judge
CowiDg yesterday. He was George Cor
don, who registered from No. 143 Mad
ison street, two weeks ago. He pleaded
guilty, saying he was drunk when he
committed the crime, and was sentenced
to two and half years in Sing Sing
prison.
"You are the first man arraigned for
violating the Election laws" said Judge
Cowing.
81 am informed by the officers tn at
you are registered to vote in half a dozen
places. A man who will deprive another
Of his vote through false registration
ought to be deprived of his citizenship"
Gordon was arrested by Detective
Cornelius Leary, of the Madison street
station, and if the National Republican
Committee carry out their promises he
will receive $4,000 reward. A few weeks
ago Chairman Quay, of the National
Republican Committee, made public an
offer of $4,000 reward for election
frauds in this city and Brooklyn, divided
as follows: $4,000 for the first convic-
ton, 81 900 for the second, $500 for the
third and $3.50 for each succeeding con-
viction until the money was exhausted.
The policeman has applied for the re-
ward, but the matter has been referred
to committee.
1t was reported last night that a ma
jority of the Inspectors Of Election of tie
Third Assembly District might be ar
rested. The report was to the effect that
the Republican and County Democracy
Inspectors Of Election of that district
had formed combine" and that No
vember 9th daring attempt would be
made to cheat the will of the people by
swelling the vote of Harrison and
Hewitt; that deal had been agreed
upon, and that the single Tammany Hall
Inspector in each election district would
find himself opposed by three Inspectors.
The evidence as to the IDEAL" will be
placed before the courts and warrants
asked for. Several Pinkerton detectives
have been at work in the district since
the last registration day.-[N. Y. World.
