Duel BetWeenGDoctor and Lawyer.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 14.-Some
time ago DR.. Robert Majors, residing
at Monteville, this state, employed
w. w. Shortridge, a lawyer, to collect
few claims against delinquent pa
tients. The returns were not satisfac-
tory, and the men quarrelled, but
parted without coming to blows.
Word has just reached here, that last
Saturday Majors called at Short
ridges office, and trouble broke out
again. They finally agreed to fight
with bowie knives in darkened
rood. Just off the office, and removing
their coats and shoes, the men enter
ed the room and fought blindly, but
desperately, for nearly ten minutes,
and the duel was one of the most vi
cious ever known in Alabama. Per-
sons living in the lower story heard
the noise as the duelists rolled upon
the floor, and ran up stairs, and when
the door was broken open, Majors
staggering into the office, with blood
streaming from dozen gashes in his
face and breast. Without saying a
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 fearful manner. The arteries of
his neck had been severed, one eye
had been gouged out, and his hands
were cut so terribly that the fingers
hung OnlV by tendOnS. The
man man was dead. Majors, after
leaving the office, ran out
upon the street, where his bleeding
face and CORY garments spread con-
sternation among the negroes, and
the doctor seemed to be craZed with
pain, and staggered wildly along the
streets, he reached store where AL
bert Kennon, negro, stood in the
doorway, and without saying word,
Majors rushed at Kennon and struck
at him with the knife which he still
held in his hand, and the negro start
ed to run into the store, when the now
thoroughly insane man made another
desperate lunge at him and Kennon
seized gun, which was lying
upon the counter and then
turned to face the mailman, who
was in the act Of making
another swing with his knife. The
two men clinched, but Majors, who
was weak from the loss of blood, was
no match for his antagonist, and was
quickly thrown upon the floor. Be-
fore he could get upon his feet again,
Kennon dealt him terrible blow up
on the head with the stock of his gun,
and then leaping over the body ran
into the street and cannot now be
found. Majors never regained con-
seriousness. Both bodies were buried
yesterday, the funerals being largely
attended

MARION NOTES.
MARION, Texas, Nov. Is.

Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
Last night a man was found near
the track with his right leg cut OIL.
The man is Mexican and his name is
Gonfino Canales. According to his
own statement the railroad is not to
be blamed for it; he tried to steal
ride on train % and in trying to board
a car, slipped, fell under the wheels
and has his leg cut off. Two hours
afterwards he was found and at that
time he had bled considerably. Some
of the Marion citizens carried him into
the freight depot and tried to procure
q doctor for him, but none could be
found at home. The Mexican said he
had a friend in Luling named Jose
Lopez, and that we should inform
him Of his death, for he said, / know l
cannot live, l am hurt too much, but
l should like to smoke cigarette,
which of course was given to him.
Two hours later he was dead. This
morning an inquest will he held, and
he will then be buried by the county.

ELECTION returns come in very
slowly, but the general result remains
certain. All Texas districts return
democratic congressman not because
they love free trade more, but be-
cause they hate the name of republic
eau most. Even this does not save
them from the inevitable. The cOun-
try is safe under protection politics
for years to come, and the free traders
are ousted from control of the house of
representatives Mills and Savers
will take back seat during the next
congress and learn, from that expert
ence which teaches even the simple,
how the protectionists reduce surplus,
diminish national expenses, lower
revenues and at the same time pro-
tect all the products and industries of
the nation.
