HAZARDS WAR.
Armed Forces for Hours Battling
in the Streets.
Barricadcs From which Deadly vollcys arc
Poured, Until the Eversoles are
Driven to the Mountains.


HAZARD, KY, Nov. 15.-The circuit
court convened on Monday, the 18th
inst. Judge Lilly, the regular Judge, not
being present, the Bar elected Captain
w. L. Hurst, of Wolfe County, to pre-
side. There was good crowd in attend
ance, and every thing started off serene-
ly, with apparently no danger of trouble
between the warning factions. George
Eversole, the leader of the Eversole
faction, came into town on Monday even
ing before court with fifteen armed men,
but as most of them were under bond TO
appear at this term of court, nothing was
thought of it. The Eversole party kept
increasing in numbers until it reached
thirty well-armed men. There were
only few of the French party in
town. 1t soon became apparent that
there would be trouble. French was
aware of the warlike preparations, and
placed himself, with strong force, in
easy reach of town, so as to be able to
relieve his friends in event of trouble.
Thursday evening Wesley Whitaker, Of
the Eversole faction, fired upon Henry
Davidson, of the French party, who
was standing in the door of the jailor's
residence, few yards from the court
house. Whittakerhad barricaded himself
in q small log house on the opposite side
of the street. Davidson was soon Joined by
Tom and Bill Smith and others. Whit
taker in the mean time had also been
joined by several of his friends, and
lively fight took place between the four
men of the French party and the Ever
soles. The court, which was in session,
stampeded. The fight lasted fifteen
minutes. When the smoke cleared away
it was found that Ed Campbell, of the
Eversole party, had beon killed. This fight
took place about o'clock in the evening.
The parties rested on their arms till
dark, when the fight was renewed with
increased fierceness. The French party
had been reinforced by the Davidson
boys, Jesse Morgan, brother of L. C.
Morgan, who was killed by the Ever
soles, and others. b. F. French himself
came into town about 12 o'clock with re-
Inducements, to tho relief of his be-
leaguered friends At day break tho
fight ragged with new fury. The Ever
sole party was stationed in the court
house and in j. c. Eversole's old fort.
The French party occupied what posi-
tions they could find. But the main
fight took place between Jesse Fields
and Tom Smith, who occupied the
top of the hill back of the posi-
tion held by the Eversole party. Smith
and Field occupied strongly fortified
position commanding the enemy's
works, and they kept up steady fire on
the Eversoles. The battle lasted about
an hour, when the Eversolo party beat
a hasty retreat, fordiog the river on
foot and disappearing in the mountain
on the other side, leaving their dead.
Ed Campbell and John Mcknight were
killed. Several were wounded on the
Eversole side. Jesse Fields, on the
French side, received flesh wound in
the arm. Court broke up without cere-
nony, the Judge leaving for home as
quickly as possible.

Moveme ent, and Is in Control.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-A private cipher
cable dispatch from Rio Janeiro states
that a revolution has broken out there.
The dispatch gives no particulars. 9th
or dispatches from Rio Janeiro assert
that a movement in favor Of republic-
nm form of government has recently
been strongly fomented, and is the sole
cause of the rising. Up to the present
hour, however, there is little informa-
ton of tangible character. The an
nouncement is made in the cipher cable
already at hand that the Brazilian Min
listers have rendered their designations,
and that the situation is controlled by
the army.
New York, Nov. 16.-Messrs Charles
r. Flint & Co. received the following
cablegram yesterday, dated Rio Janeiro:
"Revolution has broken out here. Tho
Brazilian army is in control. Ministry
has resigned. The revolution is for tho
purpose of forming republic" Messrs.
Hard & Rand received the following
from Rio Janeiro: Revolution has
broken out here, The Brazilian armies
in control. Ministry resigned. Minister
shot. Attempt to establish republic" !"
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Later dispatches
from Rio Janeiro fully confirm the pre-
vious reports. The revolution aims at
the overthrow of the Government and the
proclamation of a Republic. The army
supports the movement. A Provisional
Government has been established, in
cluding Seniors Da Fonseca and Benja-
min Constant. Among the dispatches
received, but not yet officially confirm
ed, is one stating that Barn Ladario,
the Minister of Marine, has been killed.
