A CHINESE FAMILY FEUD.
The Clans of Lee and Wong Ask Aid
of Their Brethren in America.


Simultaneously two big Chinese proclama-
tions have arrived among the New
York Cinnamon which will undoubt-
eddy threaten the peace and prosperity of
thousands of Cinnamon throughout the
United States.
One of thess proclanations informs the
Wongs all over the United States that the
entire Wong family in the province of
Canton has declared war against the Lee
family of that province on account of le-
gal complication between few members
of the two great families which the author
tiles were unableto settle, and that the only
way left now is for the two factions to
fight it out. The proclamation appeals to
the Wongs of America for munitions of
war; or money to buy the same 1t declares
that there are over l. 600 900 able-bodied
Wongs at home to thrash the Lees if they
could Only get hold Of soma of the Yankee
killing machines. The proclamation of the
Lees asks their cousins for the
same favors with an equal as
surance OF annihilating all the Wongs
Why doesn't the Chinese government
put stop to such foolishness" a reporter
a, ked Wong All He, one Of the leading cous-
ms of the fighting Wongs in New York.
Didn't they thought replied Wong,
laughingly. ''Everytime they try to stop
sucn big family rows they get the vengeance
of both combatants. SO the government has
bean taught to leave them severely alone
and let them fight it out among themselves.
These family quarrels arise nearly once
every year between the other contending
families but the Lees snd Wongs are two of
tie biggest families in China, and this will
be the first time they ever actually came to
ope1 war with each other. In the last fight
between the Ha Kas and the Bun Yes some
years ago there were thousands OF men and
women killed on both sides, and the war
lasted for years until nearly all the Ha Kas
were annihiiated or fed into the mountains. y

A serious accident has occurred on the New
York Central road two miles east of Pala-
tine Bridge. The first section Of the st
Louis express from New York had broken
down, an accid Int having happened to the
steam chest, when ths second section, which
was composed of eight vestibuls sleeping
coaches, ran into the reir car Of the
first section, private coach the
Kankakee, and telescoped the Wagner
car ahead of it to half its distance.
After the crash the second section withdrew
from the first section, but left hole in the
rear section of the Kankakee big enough to
place boiler in.
Just how the accident happened is not de-
termined The conductor of the first sec
ticn says his rear brakeman was sent back,
but Conductor Horth of the second section,
who is very badly hurt, has said that he did
not see him, and the first he saw was the
lights Of the train. Horth was suffering
great agony. Four persons were killed in
the accident-three men and one woman
Engineer Horth of Albany had both leg.
broken. One sleeper was telescoped, ant
two other cars badly damaged. All who

SHOP LIFTING.

Yesterday Detective McMahan was evil
IDENTIFY buying out the dry goods stores and
the first superstition was that he intended
to give all his friends a new dress. After
seeing him visit all the stores repeatedly
and still be empty handed the second sup
position was that he was looking for some
one. He did not seem inclined to talk
about his business but the reporter soon
learned that there were three professional
shoplifters in the city doing the dry goods
stores One does the buying, that is to say
makes number of insignificant purchases
while her confederates stow away almost
any articles that come handy and can be
readily concealed. They are old hands at
the business and work all the games
known to the profession. Word was re-
ceiyed of them ia advance but with their
usual shrewdness they refrained from any
operations yesterday. The merchants fear
that they are only sizing up the oppor-
tunities and will commence systematic
operations on the first of the week. They
are known TO be members of an association
that send delegates TO all the principal
cities in the state. and their adroitness
usually allows them TO work successfully
without being captured. Detectives have
been engaged to keep an eye on them and
it may have the effect of soaring them off
altogether

SNEAK THIEVES.

The police have had great many COM
plants in the last few days that household
effects, clothing and almost anything that
a thief can reach has been stolen, The ap-
proach of the holidays seems to make the
thieves more and more reckless and no one
feels very safe about their property. The
police are busy sending them out of the
city to save the expense of feeding them
but they are as thick as mosquitoes. On
Thursday one of the rooms of the Gandolfo
block was rifled and $65 in money stolen.
Yesterday DR.. Williams, physician for the
Santa Fe road, was robbed of valuable
set of surgical instruments and as yet the
police have not been able to recover the
property.
On Friday night or Saturday morning
Drs. McClees s. Perdue lost their pocket
cases Of instruments and as yet have been
unable to find them. They both left them
in the same place in the office and cannot
remember that the Office was left open at
any time during their absence. In this
case the police think they can recover the
instruments and have clue to the thieves.

SOUTHERN FARMERS, ASSOCIATION.

SOUTHERN FARMERS ASSOCIATION.
The executive committee of the South
ern Kansas Farmers association held
a meeting at the board of trade rooms yes
terday, and gave some more attention to
the program of the meeting which will be
held on the 18th, 18th and 18th of this
month. A number of letters were read
from leading gentlemen in the state.
Gov. Humphrey aud ex-Gov Anthony had
written Col. NJ. Stewart that they would
be in attendance. Another letter said that
at least two members of the faculty of the
agricultural college at Manhattan would
be present to take part in the meeting.
The question of a Southern Kansas Foir
association was considered, but nothing
could be done in the matter. 1t is ex-
pected that the matter viii be brought be-
fore the association and considered, but no
idea as TO the result. As suggested by
some. the counties represented in the asso-
citation join together for . fair to be held
at a most suitable location, and make it
the best fair in the state. AS proposed it
could be held after all the county fairs
were over and the blue ribbons Of all the
counties could be on hand, making it a
success not short Of the state fair.

QUITE PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Last night as the Frisco train pulled in
from the east John Tarsney, a switchman,
met with quite a painful accident. He
had turned the switch for the train TO
reach the station just i'll time to prevent
the engineer from being forced to stop to
give him time, and started up the track
and going few feet to another switch,
where he intended to leave the track, his
foot caught between two rails and he was
unable to get it out, and the engineer was
unable to stop the train before reaching
him. The train running onto him his
foot was crushed to the instep by the
wheels of the engine when train stopped
and he was assisted out. DIR. Rentz, coun-
ty physician, was called and found him
suffering considerably. 1t is thought the
foot will be amputated.
