LANSING, Feb. 2S.-There is little ex-
cltement in the political field here AT
present. The Senatorial monkey-show
is closed until next Monday night and
the crowd that regularly gathers around
TO see the very funny antics has dis
persed. The cages are sadly in need of

trained to take more active part with
the rest.
Not Quorum.
The roll-call in the House this morn
ing disclosed shortage of three in
the number necessary to constitute a
quorum. The Speaker, in preference
TO regular call of the House, sent the
sergeaut-at-arms on foraging expedi-
ton after raw material to make n work
ing force. After waiting half an hour,
the House adjourned To Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. This ends probably
the last attempt on the part of the
House tn hold a Saturday session. 1t is
a significant fact that larger proper
ton of Republicans, than of Demo-
Gratis, remained at their post of duty.
Stevens and Doran,
During the Senate session of yester-
day afternoon, one Of those funny little
incidents occurred, which so often link
Senators Stevens and Doran together in
hand To hand-or mouth to mouth
contests Oh the floor. When Senator
Mines offered his resolution to have
the journal of the preceding day so
corrected as to show his appeal from
President Strong's ruling, Senator
Doran, with his usual previousness and
lack of decency. got the floor and stood
for moment with his hands in his
pockets and casting furtive glances
around at Senator Stevens. Noticing
that the latter was resting IN his chair.
as quiet and apparently unconcerned
rs kitten lying before the fire, he ven-
tured TO make motion to table.
"Mr. President" he said, Il move

in so perfect an imitation of his own
voice that he thought q twin brother

near him with the most innocent look
upon his face. Again he venturcd
nervously:

Doran turned pale and trembled.
President Strong was much perp!exed
and leaned forward to solve the mys-
terry of Doran's apostasy from the faith.
"What is the Senator's motion" in
quired the President.

Duke, as the President bent forward in
way that threatened to end him over

BERRIEN'S TRAGEDY.
A Fuller Account of the Fatal Wound
ing of Moore.

! a Fuller account OI ILo oS'N- -
ing of Moore.
ALAPAHA. GA, Sept. 1O.-The following
is a fuller account than that published yes
terdav in the MORNING News of the Ber-
| rien county tragedy. The yearly meeting
| at Flat Creek Primitive Baptist church.
Berrien county. was held last Saturday and
Sunday. A large concourse OF people were
IN attendance, and among them Two young
men, wrankling enemies, VINO had come
under appointment to settle a dlInculty
that had its origin at FrlmltlVe BapblS5
yearly meeting at Brushy Creek church,
Irwin county, a month previous.
Jesse Moore, a young married man and
descendant of one of the best families in
Berrien county. was one OF the parties.
The other was Reason Fletcher, beardless
youth and a member of one OF tie best
families of Irwin county.
AS stated, they had come to Flat Creek
church to settle on some terms difficulty
originating alta church in Irwin county,
which first arose between brothers OF Jesse
Moore and cousins of Reason Fletcher.
RECONCILIATION.
Through the agency of friends of both
parties, apparently, a reconciliation had
been brought about, but just after the
meeting adjourned on Saturday it was
sprung again. Again friends interviewed,
and finally an agreement was reached that
the two young men mentioned should set
tie it by fair and square fist and skull"
fight. Accordingly they retired. discharged
their pistols, laid them aside and went into
the battle. Everybody stood back and the
fight proceeded unmolested. In the fight
Moore came out first best They
then shook hands for friendship
and returned to the crowd, but
on the way back something was SAID that
rekindled the flame and when they came up
with the other members of the party
Fletcher demanded of Moore that he fight
his (Fletcher's) brother who was much lar
ger and stouter than himself. They re-
fused, giving as a reason that they bad
nothing against each other. Other words
passed between them, not now remembered
by those present, but they eliminated
IN the young men drawing their pistols,
which had been reloaded in the meantime.
and commenced shooting at each other.
One of Moore's shots took effect in Flescher's
leg. fnficting wound considered neither
serious nor dangerous.
MOoREs WOUNDS.
Two of Fletcher's shots hit Moore, one,
supposed to be the first. entered the left
breast between the second aud third ribs,
and it was decided it had lodged near his
spinal column as it had the effect Of para
lying his lower limbs to a great extent
The other shot entered the throat. but
glanced around the larynx and lodged some
where in the back of the neck. Medical aid
was Immediately called for Moore, and,
while he is still alive, little hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery.
Fletcher left Immediately after the shoot
ing and has not been arrested.
Both parties were considerably under the
influence of whisky.
A similar homicide occurred at this
church two years ago.
