Bloody work Of a Wild Negro.

RACINE. Wis, Aug. 19.-Charles Cole,
a colored man, run amuck on Douglass
avenue this afternoon. Cole made his
appearance shortly before 8 o'clock armed
with a razor, abig stone and followed by
an ugly bulldog. James Smith was walk
ing on the west side of the street. With
out the least warning Cole, who was on
the east side, started towsrd Smith. He
lost the razor. but before Smith could
realize what the trouble was the darkey
struck him with the stone and knocked
him down. He then jumped on the
prostrate man. hammering him with
another stone, whih the bulldog chewed
his legs. Ex,Justice of the Peace Michael
Shiel attempted to assist Smith,
when the wild man turned on
him. Shiel secured a piece Of board.
When he returned the darkey had
tackled Leo Schneider. Shiel pounded
him OF the head with the board. but it
had no effect. Joseph Morawitz was
struck with . rock and injured internally.
Shiel, Schneider and two other men
waded into the darkey. and after a hard
fight ~overpowered him. A running fight
took place between an officer and the ne
gro. and the officer smashed his face and
nose. The chief of police and marshal
arrived and the wild darkey was landed in
Jail. where he fought like a demon and
made q desperate attempt to kill Officer
Harms. Smith, the man who was struck
and pounded with a rock. is in bad shape.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
g~armentsior men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments advcr-
tise themselves. IF you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value han
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
u rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

ELECTRIC FORCES COMBINE.
The sprague Motor Connects with the
Edison Company.

The New York World of Sunday says;
IL leaked out Yesterday that the Edison
Electric Company had bought the Sprague
Electric Motor Company. The Edison
now acts as sort of fiscal company and
manages the finances of the various cor
porations controlled by it.
When the Edison Company was organized
last summer Henry Willard became ITS pre-
sident in the place Of +. II. Johnson; but
the latter still retained the of1ice or presi-
dent of the Sprague Company the rela-
tions between the two companies being
very close. Recently Mr.. johnson resigned
from this position. His resignation. how
ever, was not accepted until few days
400. He still remains director, and starts
for Chicago tomorrow on business con-
nected with the company His successor
was Vice President Herrick, of the Edison
Company; but it is probable that when the
deal Is completed there will be some other
changes.
This purchase was practically consum-
mated January lst. but it is not probable
that the reorganization of the Sprague
COMPANY will be made until the latter
part of this week, when the terms OF the
purchase and the changes effected VIII be
made public. 1t was said yesterday mt the
Office of the Sprague Company that until
then no definite statement could be made.
1t was said that Nlce-President Sprague, of
the company bearing his name. would re-
main with the company, but whether as
yice-president OF as consulting electrician
could not be learned. TWAS reported that
MIR. Johnston's resignation had been ten
dered because OF some friction between
that gentleman and Mr.. Willard. but q
friend of Mr. johnson said Yesterday that
the friction between the two had arisen
because Mr.. Willard did not want Mr..
johnson to resign.

Thompson Brown & Co. the trial OF which
has engaged the City Circuit Court since
last Wednesday.
Mr.. Edgar Allan. Of counsel for the
plaintiff, who had been taken suddenly Ill,
was not present. and an effort was made to
have the argument postponed until to-day,
but as it was not likely that Mr. Allan
could possibly appear it was decided not
to wait. Mr.. II. b. Munford, one OF Mr..
Allan's associates was also absent, having
been called to Danyille on important busi-
ness.
Judge Waller r. Staples opened for the
plaintiff. and he was followed by Hon.
John $. Wise for the defendants, who
spoke until 5 o'clock, when the court ad-
journed until today. Both of the speeches
were able presentations of their respective
sides. and they were heard with great H.
terest by the dense crowd that filed the
cOurt-rOOm.

AN ExrRAoRDN,RY scESy.
Yesterday reporter was rambling about
Charlotte. When in Biddleville. sur.
burban village mostly populated with ne
groes, an extraordinary scene was witness
ed. In front of small cabin pulpit had
been erected. In THE stood a negro
preaching ut the top Of his voice. There
was no one except the reporter ana
preacher near aud the former stood and
listened, but wss not noticed By the
speaker. On inquiry it was found that the
preacher was Robert Bell. He is not crazy,
as would be the natural conclusion, but
two years ago he was elected from the pas
torate of Presbyterian church at Blddlee-
vile because he would go into his church
baref0oted. He was warned against this
offence. and needing II not one Sunday as
he attempted TO ascend his pulpit shoeless
halt dozen good pious deacons seized him
and put him out OF the church. On that
day Bell declared he would preach three
times every Sunday in his own yard. and he
does il although no one goes 10 hear him.
The people OF Alamance county are not
pleased with the decision OF the Supreme
Court granting young MAY Rippey. who IS

DIR. HoGE or LIFE"
Life" was the subject of DR.. Hoge's
sermon at the Second Presbyterian church
Sunday morning. He showed how some
liyes-the lives of some bad men--are too
long: how some lives are too shOrt-frOm
the human standpoint; bow some lives
are too fast, and how some too slow. In
speaking of personal honesty the preacher
deplorod the frequency of the skips to
Canada, and said that we sometimes Won
dcred that such and such men. regarded as
men Of prObity and external decency,
could be guilty OF defalcation, but when
the veil was lifted they were found to be
men of fast lives, and that ex-
planned it all. DIR. Hoge then drew
"A picture of that old-time Virginia
class noted in our annals. He said IN the
oldon times there grew up in this country
a race of men who lived in plain houses,
wore plain clothes, and sat at tables plain
" but bountifully furnished. They had
plenty of time to read and TO reflect, and
while they may not have been scholars
they were men of intelligence and high
honor. Let one of those men tell false
hood or be guilty of dishonest act and
he had to move out Of the neighberhood.
People might not insult him, but he could
feel il in the atmosphere--his neighbors
did not want 10 associate with hlm any
longer. He would have to seek home IN
another county and start life over.
