FIGHT At A SOCIAL.

Two of the packing house employ as
sisted by a number of friends INDUCED In
little melee in which one of them was
crippled for life a social was given in
the evening at the hotel after their picnic,
and an old grudge had TO come to the sur
face as they had sufficient beer in to
Danish their wits.
McMann, one of the principals, fancied
he saw boy stealing some of the liquor
and he could stand anything but that.
His opponent, named Schilling, thought
that McMann was stealing the liquor him
self, and his righteous indignation was at
once aroused. During the frac6s that fol-
lowed it wonld have puzzled Philadel-
phia lawyer to get at the true story, but
knives and pistols were fourished with
more or less damaging effect. In short, it
was no scene for a lady to witness, and the
language that got mixed up in it would
have compelled her 10 stop her ears with
cotton. After the wrath of the combat
batants. their seconds, thirds, fourths. etc
had spent itself it was found that McMann
needed the services of a surgeon, and DIR.
Williams was summoned to bind up his
bleeding foot. 1t seems that pistol shot
had struck him near the ankle, penetrat-
ing into the foot. The wound is painful in
the extreme although not necessarily dan
gerous, but will keep him from earning
his living for some time TO come.

Den ofLiye Rattlesnakes.

The exhibit in the northeast corner,
up stairs, exposition building, at the
Fair, ranks as one of the finest ever
made at our Fair, of home industry.
The display is very fine, and shows
to what beauty and useful purposes
skins and furs may be made. We
note q jaguar, or Mexican leopard,
head mounted, old Texas lobo wolf,
head mounted, mongoose, with head
mounted, red fox, head mounted,
fixed in center of a beautiful robe of
different skins; also leopard cat, head
mounted, fixed in center of robe. Ar
ranged in a very tasteful manner are
buffalo robes, polecat robes, crazy
rugs, from different skins, wolf skin
robes, Indian blankets, black bear
skins, leopard cat skins, iavelin, or
Mexican hog skins, and q beautiful
collection of snow white Angora
goat skins at $3.50 each. In curiosi-
ties we note alligator claw pocket
books, ladies' rattlesnake waist belts
and girders, rattlesnake scarfs, fans
and other curiosities too numerous to
mention. At the establishment of
the exhibitor, Mr.. Witchell, No. 81
Soledad street, we find q stock of the
above curiosities and skins fully ten
times the extent of his exhibit, and
every visitor to our city should not
fail to call and examine these beauti-
full goods before leaving the city. A
den Of live rattlesnakes is also one Of
the novelties of Witchell's store.

NOTES.

The rails on the electric transit line
spread at the first curve near the fair
q lnds and the cars continually ran off
the track for a while, seriously delaying

since improved and the cars are making
good time again.
A boy who became lost on the grounds
Saturday, was recovered by his parents
at the police station.
Only a very few cases of theft by pick
pockets have been reported. The ring
fakir's stand was broken into last night
and some cash and a number OF choice
knives were taken by the thieves.

that stood under the leaky points OF the

beautiful. The piano cover, by a little
girl. which hangs well towards the south
end of the exhibit, is very praiSeworthy;
The flower and the vine work is very well
executed, the coloIing af the flowers and
even delicate tints being very perfectly
reproduced.
The long double row of show cases con-
tain specimens of high art in needle work
and other forms of decoration that would
require columns even TO catalogue. Some
hand painted china, tea set and tgurative
pieces is well executed. Baby's outfit is
charming piece of work; as are the
hand made dolie's outline work.
There is world of embroidery work
on linen and flannel and of crochet work
as well. Some of these specimens in
linen handkerchiefs, and in croceht work
in shawls are very finely executed. Some
high art work, decorative, painting on
silk and satin is exceedingly well done,
i'm some instances the execution shaming
the designs.
In one case containing miscellaneous
articles, some elegant toilet articles,
handsomely covered, and childrens dress
es are displayed. Some lively kensing-
ton work is displayed; and in the same
case some high art needlework, tufter
bag well worthy Of inspection.
OF drawn work there is an exquisite
display and great variety. The, point
one specimen. handkerchief, is as deli
cate as cobwed. 1t is poem in point.
Some specimens of silk embroidery by a
Mexican lady have the needles left in
them, the work not completed. to show
that they are handmade and not ma.
chine manufacture. Some specimens OF
Mexican drawn work are also exception
ally fine.
Saddle bags, not the equestrian article,
but head rests, are on exhibition, elegant
ly embroidered.
A case containing cornshuck hat and
cornshuck flowers is greatly admired.
The work is really handsome and the
general effect very pleasing.
A child dress in red plush embroidered
in white silk is a very rich piece OF work
and as snowy as rich without being
gaudy.
There are some beautifully embroidered
table covers for afternoon tea, one OF
them very delicate and genuinely artistic;
Adjoining this department is splendid
silkworm exhibit. In this are included
reeled silk, the thread, are all displayed,
as well as some flowers from cocoons, that
are artiStically done. This demonStra-
ton of the stages of silk culture and ere
alton is very interesting, and none the
less so that the silkworms were reared
and tended and the silk reeled by a
child.
On the whole the Ladies' textile fabric
| exhibit is one of the greatest attractions
in the exposition. 1t is much superior TO
last years exhibit, and has been gathered
and arranged at an expense OF time and
| labor, at the hands of the superintendent
| and his assistants, that only those who
have themselves undertaken such a work
can form an idea of.

From the Cannon's Mouth.

SALT LAKE, Utah, October eat
the Mormon conference yesterday,
Geo. Cannon spoke of the lofty con-
ception of Saints, especially regarding
the future state. $50 advanced are
the Saints ideas that when other
people attempt to follow they get lost
in the magnitude of their precepts."
He believed the brethren in the PEN
item tiary would be more prosperous
when they got out than if they had
not got in, because they could say they
had not broken any covenants they
had made.
He thanked God that he lived
among people who were not afraid of
their consciences and took their pun
ishment like heroes. The time is
coming when this conduct Of the lat
ter day saints would stand as
a bright page in modern history.
Offerings would be acceptable to the
Lord. Cannon further said the Saints
would obey laws and bow in submits
sion to the nations wish. He told the
people not to worry about 1890; that
Christ would not come then.
In the afternoon President Wood
spoke. He said the Lord is about to
prune his vineyard for the last time
and that sprouts would fall like grain
before the mower. He spoke of the
martyr Joseph Smith and of
the crucifixion of Christ as
events of like import. He emphasized
Cannon's remarks, and further said
when any events transpired to de-
prive the saints of their privileges
they would remember it as the will of
God.
