FOR HIS WIPES SAKE.

MT. Joseph Chamberlain May Take
 Portfolio in the British Ministry to
 Please Ills Young American Wife.
 LONDON, Feb. 22.-A very well-defned rumor is current in political circles that Mr. Joseph Chamberlain is about to enter the Cabinet. The Home Office is the posi- ton mentioned as likely to be filled by the Birmingham statesman. It is said that, personally, on &C., count of the governments faltering condition, Mir. Chamberlain is not par ticularly desirous of becoming Minister, but the pleadings of his wife, whose debut into society as the wife of Cabi- net Minister would be greatly enhanced, have great weight with him. The Prem . fer, too, considers it but just that one of the Unionists should share the responsi- bilities of the position which they have helped to create. It is doubtful, however, if MT. Chamberlain's elevation would be pleasing to his fellow Unionists.

FOUGHT TO KILL.
Desperate Fight with Knives at Birming- ham, Ala.-One of the Participants Dead, the Other Badly Carved.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 22.-Birming- ham comes to the front again with her usual daily murder or fatal tragedy. Last night as Freight Conductor Joe l.. Jones of the Alabama Great Southern pulled into the depot about eight o'clock and stepped off his caboose he was accosted by Albert Knight, an ex-brakeman whom he had discharged some days ago. Words passed and bloody fight with knives en- sued. Jones is lying in the hospital carved all to pieces, and Knight lies cold corpse at the city police station.
 It is stated by those who saw the fatal difficulty that Knight must have killed himself, as the only wound apparent about his body is deep stab on his left leg, just above the knee, evidently striking the femoral artery, and the puncture bears the semblance of dirk stab, the weapon he handled. He was carried to the police station, and never lived to tell his story

May be Merely Wanted as Witness.

NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 22.-Edward W. Woodruff, who was secretary of the Cin- cinnati Hamilton & Dayton railroad un- der the Ives & Stayner regime, was ar rested this morning and taken to police headquarters. It is affirmed by his friends that he never knew of the transaction which ruined the road. They say his duties as secretary were merely per- functory and that he wasn't guilty of any wrong. It is believed, however, that Woodruff has been in communication with Ives lately. It is probable that Woodruff was arrested merely in order that he might be held as a witness at the coming trial of Ives and Stayner in New York.
