gresS.
Mr. Taulbee has been taken from the
capitol TO the Providence hospital. His
| wound Is a very dangerous one.
Kincaid was arrested by officer Bryan
and lodged in the New Jersey avenue
| pOlire station, where he is charged with
| assault with intent to kill.
! LATER PARTICULARS.
| Taulbee has been removed to his
boarding house on Capitol Hill, and It Is
feared his wound will prove fatal. Kin
| caid is in the New Jersey avenue police
station, near the capitol, a physical
wreck from nervous prostTatiOn, ana ID
rocking TO and fro, while low means
| come from his lips. II Is sad end OF
| q Quarral started more than year ago
| between two native KentuCktaus living
| at the time Ill Washington. The climax
! was the result of the men meeting face
| to face this morning an hour before the
/ shooting for the first time since the be-
] ginning of the trouble. The wounded
man, it Is said, called the other liar,
| and an hour after the insult had been
| terribly avenged Both men are well
| known throughout their native state aud
| in this city, and the occurrence soon
stifled interest in all legislative matters
| at the south end of the capitol. Members
| FORSOOK THEIR SEATS,
and, gathering in little knots back Of
| the green baize, drank in eagerly nil the
reports that were flying through the air.
| The Kentucky members immediately vrnt
| TO the assistance of their former COLLEAGUES
and had him carried to his home. 4 call
| of ths house had been ordered shortly
| after noon, when the two men met for
| the first time since the trouble between
| them originated, about q year ago,
| on the publication by the correspond
| ent of notorious scandals affecting
| the moral character or the congressman.
| Kincaid had sent in his card to see
| Kentucky member of congress, and was
| waiting at the east door leading on TO the
| floor of the house. 1t is from this door
| that cards of all ladies are sent into the
house, the ladies reception room being
across the corridor. There Is always
large crowd OF people about the corridor.
Mr. Taulbes, who had q business en-
gageneut with Congressman McCreary
of Kentucky, and several others, came
out OF the house while Kincaid was
standing
IN THE OUTER DOORWAY
and walking up to him, said few words
in an undertone, indistinct to the door
keeper, only two or three feet away. Il
is said that the lie was passed. The door
keeper, who was in the act Of closing the
doors, as is customary on call OF the
house, then noticed Taulbee, who is
large framed and muscular man, grab
Kincaid by the lapel OF his coat, and with
a strong grasp hol1 him. while DO said:
''Kincaid, come out into the corridor
with me.
Reports which few about the capital
! stated that ex-Congressman Taulbee had
pulled the correspondent nose or ear,
but the doorkeeper who was standing
| there denies this.
KIncaid is a small slightly built man,
suffering from illness and some nervous
ailment. His reply to Taulbee's invita-
! ton to come into the corridor was: ''I
am in no condition for physical contest.
| l am uuarmed. - Mr.. Taulbee responded
that he was also unarmed and the men
were separated by some common friends,
Kincaid calling on an acquaint-
aure from Kentucky named Sam
Walton to bear witness to what had CO.
| Cured. Walton evidently did not desire
| to become involved in the trouble be-
| tive en- the two men. for he said he could
| he witness to nothing. He ouly knew
| that some words had been exchanged.
| All this time the doorkeeper was vaiuiy
| endeavOring TO get the men out of the
way so that the doors might be closed,
| but was prevented by TaulOee, who de-
clared he had a right to enter.
TauIUee aud KIucaiu then went their
ways, the former into the house and the
| latter 1t is supposed after a pistol; for,
| as he stated he had none at the time.
| This quarrel was not generally known,
even to the intimate friends OF the men.
When, at about 80 O'Clock, members
| and friends dining in the restaurant were
| startled by the sharp
REPORT OF A PISTOL
| fred very near the private room at
| tached to the restaurant, they rushed
| out breathlessly, while other persons
| came tumblng down the stairway, and
| soon there was an excited crowd sur
| rounding the man holding his head from
which blood was gushing in q steady
| stream, while another man was exclaim-
| ing he had done the shooting. The bull
| let was fired at range not the length /
| of man 8 arm. Taulbee after spending
some time in the house, had come out
! and was descending the eastern marble
stairway leading from the main to the
lower floor of the building. He passed
| KincaId on his way and the latter came
| after him. This stairway Is lighted only
| by one small window aud 10 dark and
| gloomy. At the time the affair oc-
/ Cured there were many people pass
/ ing up and down the stairway.
! Taulbee had nearly reached the bottom
| when he felt sharp tap on his shoulder.
| He wheeled quickly around and rs he did
so, Kincaid, who had touched him from
| behind, fred without 3 word of warning,
| the bullet entering tbs right side
| of the right eye. The wounded
man almost sank to the floor, but
rallied almost instantly aud staggered
| down the few remaining steps 10 the
landing, where he was quickly sur
rounded by throng, some of whom
| recognized him. CongressmaE Yods',
| physician as well as politician, and DIR.
| Clarence Adams, q young physician IN
| this city, was near at hand. Under their
| guidance the wounded man was removed +
| to room of the COMMITTEES on public
buildings and grounds, where was mads
| comfortable on lounge until ne
could be removed to his home.

walked into the crowd surrounding the
