Cutting at the Pen.

About half past nine o'clock Sun
day morning fight occurred in the
Penitentiary in which one convict
had his skull crushed, another was
dangerously stabbed and was also
cut on the hand and a third badly
beaten up. At the time above
mentioned convict by the name of
William Bellmeyer, sent up for
fifteen years for rape, from Louis
vile, accused Ed. Lucas, also sent
up from Louisville for life upon the
charge of murder, of having told
another negro something about him,
which Lucas denied, when Bellmeyer
went for a razor he had concealed
somewhere in the walls, returned and
attacked Lucas, who drew a short
putty knife he had ground down to
sharp point, and stabbed Bellmeyer
in the abdomen, the knife going in up
to the handle. In attempting to cut
Lucas with the razor Bellmeyer in
fiicted serious wound upon his own
hand. Another convict by the name
of Bill Johnson interfered to stop the
the fuss when Bellmeyer struck him
on the head with brick, crushing his
skull. Bellmeyer than knocked Lucas
down and stamped him in the face
and about the head in a terrible
manner. The row occurred while
the convicts were lounging about the
yard and was only stopped when the
guards arrived.
Johnson's head was treppanned by
Drs. Tobin and Williams, several
pieces of skull removed and he,
Bellmeyer and Lucas are all lying in
the hospital in critical condition.
Johnson was thought to be dying
yesterday.

time, sand had the back of his
head badly cut. Mr.. Ed. Ma

ing upon a rock. Mr.. Claassen's

Rather Cheeky.

When a merchant doing business
in this city, and is dependent upon
this community for his custom, goes
to Louisville or Cincinnati, gets a lot
of circulars, and the envelopes in
which to send them out, printed,
and then sends some Of the same to
the printers employed in this city,
soliciting their trade, it strikes us
that the transaction is strongly tine
tured with gall. If such parties wish
the trade of this community they
should certainly be willing to en-
courage other branches Of business
by trading at home. Printers have
to live and if you want their money
for your goods you should give them
a chance to earn it when you have
work in their line. But if you prefer
having your work done by printers
in Louisville or CincinnatiyOu should

DEATH of Robert soper.

Robert Soper, well-known resi-
dent and pioneer of Denver, died at
the family residence at 9:15 Tuesday
evening after an illness of several
months. Since coming to Denver,
some eight or ten years ago, Mr.. So
| per has been retired from active
business, but was everywhere recog-
nized as a public. pirited citizen and
a most estimable man.
| He was So years of age and leaves a
wife and three daughters, Mrs. LATE
Pence, Mrs. George w. Middleton
and Mrs. Robert Stocton, to mourn
his loss. The funeral will be held
from the family residence at Eleventh
and Logan enues.-Denver, Colo
RADIO Sun.
Mr.. Soper was a brother-in-law of
MIR. A. G. Morris, of this city, and a
gentleman every inch of him. When
as boy we carried the mail from
this city to Paris, from 1852 to "a, he
was keeping q country store at Cen
terville, in Bourbon county, and was
also postmaster. 1t was then that
we learned to know and appreciate
his worth as man and gentleman,
and were indebted to him for many
acts of kindness. Later ne removed
to Paris and engaged in business,
and afterwards to Georgetown, from
which place he went to Denver,
where he prospered, and left hand
some property to his family. Peace
to his ashes.

CORAL GROWTHS ON SUB.

Submarine cables have before

TO science, and the following is ONE
OF the latest: Very little, it seems,
is as yet known as to the rate of
growth of corals, but some very
interesting details have been pub

the August number of the Bulletin
OF the Museum of Comparative
Zoology at Harvard College with
regard to series of specimens
which were taken in Juno, 1888.
off the Havana and Key West
cable, from a portion repaired in
the summer of 1881; so that the
growths could not be more than
ABOUT seven years. It must be
noted that this portion of the cable
was laid at depth of only
from six to seven fathoms.
and that the district in which
it was laid was most favor.
ably situated as regards food
supply to the corals. Some Of the
specimens belong to species whose
rates of growth have not vet been
recorded. Verrll mentions that
the thickness of the Orbicella an.
nularis coral formed in sixty.four
years was not more than about 8
inches; the specimens from the
Havana cable grew to thickness
OF "a inches in about seven years.
Manicina areolata has grown to q
thickness of l inch: while Iso.
phylla dlpsacea shows q still more
rapid growth, projecting 81 inches
above the cable. Of course it is quite
possible these corals are of less
than seven years growth, but it 10
