A FEARFUL FRACAS.
A Half-Breed Indian Creates Bloody Scene in
Negro Ballroom in Laredo-Awful Fight.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX. Dec. 81 Last night a
cutting ARRAY occurred at u low negro
ball in the west end of this city, which
resulted in the death of Tom Shackle-
ford, the serious wounding of his brother
Will, and the slight wounding of NJ .
Holmes, q barber. The work was all
done by William Lindsay, half-b breed
Indian, and negro cook. 1t seems that
Lindsay was dancing with girl named
Williams, kept by Tom Shackleford, and
after the piece was concluded the latter
slapped her i'll the face, when Lindsay
laughed. This enraged Shackleford,
who struck Lindsay, and VIII
Shackleford stepped up and also
struck him. He fell backward, but re-
gaining his balance drew a large butcher
knife and made for VIII ShacklefOrd,
who ran out the back door. Lindsay then
turned upon Tom ShacklefOrd, and be-
fore the latter cOnld make move stab
bed him in the left breast, the knife en-
tering the heart. The wounded man sue
ceeded in running out doors, when he fell
dead. His brother had returned, and
Lindsay turned and cut him in the abdo-
men below the short ribs, and his bowels
came through the opening. Lindsay
then started for the door, clearing
his way knife III hand. In his
flight he cut Il barber named Holmes in
the bullock, creating painful wound.
a physician and the police were at once
called. Will Shackleford was attended
to and his wound sewed up. 1t is not
thought that the wound is necessarily
fatal. The police afterwards found
Lindsay in bed in his room in the rear of
the Commercial hotel asleep. The
bloody butcher knife was found under
the mattress of his bed. He claims
he did not think he had dangerously
hurt any of the men he had
stabbed. He is known to be bad man,
especially when drinking, and is said TO
be wanted in Mexico, which may account
for his failure to cross the river last night.
He claims he only defended himself. He
is already under indictment here for at
tempted rape, and as such is a dreaded

Every tree has its god, and when tired
is to be cut down notice is sent to all the /
neighbors to remain indoors lest the tired
god, finding himself deprived of his roost l
ing place, should take summary vengei
ance on any unfortunate mortal whoI
strayed out of doors from the protectionD
of his own household deities., There are
gods of the body: the god of the hair is
called Chwang Wa; god of the brain,

In short, there are gods for everything;
gods painted on the walls, at the corners,
at crossroads, for the one anxiety Of
Chinese life is to scare the devil, and
only by the intercession of the gods
can this very desirable effect be pro-

from the house to the cemetery it never
goes in Il straight line, hut up the street

some deity, then suddenly to the left

palled at the sight of the god 5 image,

gets the start of him. Every deity, how
ever, of the Chinese mythology-it is sat

attend to, and gives it the closest posi-

the province OF another, 30 that, on the
whole, the Chinese consider their my

PHILADELPHIA'S TRAGEDY.
The Mutllated Remains Not Yet Identified-The
Detectives Without a Clue - The
q Inquest.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 81
The remains of the man found
in Paramount Park yesterday still
lies unidentified at the morgue. The
coroner's physician formally held an in
quest this afternoon. He gives it as his
opinion that the murder was committed
on Christmas night, only a few hours
previous to the discovery of the cut up
body III section of the water pipe. The
appearance of the parts where the legs
were so severed from the body, says the
physician, indicate that whoever did the
job had some experience at that sort of
work.
The flesh was clearly cut and the saw
used in saving the bones was fine one,
evidently meat saw.
The inquest developed the fact that the
murdered man was not addicted to the
use of alcoholic liquors.
Chief of Detectives Wood stated to-
night that he is absolutely at sea in re-
gard to the perpetrators of the crime.
The remains of the dead man were viewed
by hundreds of people to-day, but the
corpse remains unidentified. Body is I'M
doubtedly that of German aged from
thirty to thirty-five years, black brown
hair cut short, and light brown mus
tache. Chief Woods theory is that the
man was killed during fight in house
not a great distance from where the re-
mains were found, the cutting in half of
the body being done in order to more
conveniently carry it to the lonely Spot IN
the park The condition of the muscles
Showed that the man struggled terIEaly
before ne was finally overcome and killeu
by blow on the back of the head which
was done with sufficient force to crush in
the skull. Until the body is recognized
the chief says it will be almost impossible
to gain a clew. The entire detective
force of the city is at work on the case.
A CLUE FROM HoBoKEN.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Dec. 27.-Mrs.
Kohler of Hoboken and her son-in-law,
Policeman Fannig, declare that the
description of the murdered man, whose
body was found in Philadelphia yester-
day, corresponds with that of German
named KrentZmann from Indiana, who
came to Hoboken few weeks ago to
meet his wife, who was expected from
Europe. KrentZmann stayed at Mrs.
Kohler's house one day. His wife did
not arrive and he went to find friends in
New York. He had a large sum of
money in his possession. He was about
five. feet six inches tall and stout with
dark hair and thin mustache. He was
picely dressed. The Hoboken police are
assisting the Philadelphia officers.

set to work to get up information relat-
ing to the senate bill, part of which is for
the use of the senators in attacking the
bill between the second and twenty-first
of January, and part for use in the house
a little later on. Preparations are active
for. a determined fight upon the bill in
the senate within the limited time
fixed for the debate. Some Democratic
senators are sanguine enough to think
they can defeat the measure in the senate
on a square vote. This hope is not very
generally entertained, and the Democrats
III the house expect certainly to debate
the bill there. No meeting has been held
to consider the policy to be followed, eX-

THE CHINESE GODS.
A Vast Variety of Deities for Every Condition
of Life

of Life.
Boston Herald.
The Buddhist deities are almost without
number, and the manufacture of idols is
one of the most stirring industries of the
Chinese empire, writes the author of
1.-THE Dragon, the Images and the De-
mon.' The gods are male and female,
from the thousand handed Kwanyin on
| down, or up, according as you reckon in
Chinese mythology. There is a
god of theaters, a god of sheep,
another of snakes. There are gods
of scorpions and of locusts, of
gold and silver, of tea, salt, snow,
strength, happiness, the list even in
Guiding Wang Papa, the chief of police
i'll hades, whose statue is made sort of
bulletin board for articles lost or stolen
There are gods of travel, of archery and
of cursing, of bridges, of lamps and of
teapots. There are seventy-two master
gods, who are heads of celestial boards
of deities, in whose hands are committed
everything that man can possibly use or
think of.
The $50 trades, which according to the
Chinese complete the number, are each
provided with god. There are gods of
BARRIERS, of tailors, of jugglers, and even
god of paper clothing. There are the
monkey god and the fish god. There are
gods of parasites, each kind having its
own deity; there is a god of the Punch
and Judy show, a god of cruelty, a god
of firecrackers and a god of revenge.
Shorter and Blower, the English transla-
ton of Hen and Ha, gods CT storms and
rains, are warlike deities, and their
statues are frequently seen on the from
tier. The thunder has two gods, Mr..
and Mrs. Thunder, while every pestilence,
every kind of disease, has its own god.
The gods of tide were once enemies, but
are now reconciled, one bringing in, the
other taking out the tide.
The rivers all have gods, each having
