A DEADLY COMBAT.
Bloody Duel Between Two Desperate
Southern Men.

BIRMINGHAM (Ala), November 14tb.-
Two funerals took place here Yesterday
which were largely attended and formed
the climax OF an extraordinary tragedy.
Robert Majors was prominent physician
at Montevsllo, in this State, and w. w.
Shortrldge was successful LAWYER in the
same village. Both were Young men.
Some time ago Nabors employed Short
ridge to collect a few claims against delin-
quent patients. The returns were not sat
isfactory, and the men quarreled, but
parted without coming to blows.
Last Saturday Majors called at Short
ridges otbce, and the old trouble broke out
afresE. They finally agreed to fight with
bowie knives in a darkened room lust off
the Office. Removing their coats and
shoes, the men entered the room and fought
oilndly but desperately for nearly ten min
utes.
FRIGHTFUL BUTCHERY
The duel was one of the most vicious
ever reported in Alabama. The men
plunged their knives into each other until
both looked as though they had been
slaughtered beeves. Everything in the
room was bespattered with blood.
Some persons living in the lower story
heard the noise of theduelists as they rolled
upon the floor and ran upstairs 10 separate
the combatants.
When the door was broken open Nabors
staggered into the office with the blood
streaming from dozen gashes in his face
and breast. Without saying a word, he
rushed down the stairs, still clasping a
CORY knife in his hand
Lying upon the floor of the room was
Shortridge. His head had been slashed in
most dreadful manner. 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
lemons. The man was dead
MAJORS FATE.
Nabors, after leaving the office, ran out
on the street, where his bleeding face and
CORY garments spread CONSERVATION among
the negroes. He seemed to be crazed with
pain and staggered wildly along the street
until ne reached a store where Albert Kee-
nan, negro, stood in the doorway. With
out saying a word, Nabors rushed at Kee-
nan aud struck him with the knife. The
negro ran into the store, when the now
thoroughly insane man made another des-
perate lunge at him
Keenan, seized a gun, which was living
upon the counter, and then turned to face
the mailman, who was in the act of max
ing 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 a
terrible blow upon the head with the stock
of the gun, and then leaping over his BODY,
ran into the street and out of town.
Majors never regained consciousness.
His skull had been fractured. He died at
midnight. Keenan, cannot be found

night when nobody but the sub-inspectors
were around. One morning an inspector
examined some work done the night before
and discovered hole in it big enough to
drive a Government wagon into. Civil
Engineer George H. Corvell condemned
the whole scheme for the work and decided
that the tunnel was nothing more than an
