FEUD OF BROTHERS

Leads to Battle That Lasts All Ono
Night.-Three Hundred Shots Fired
No One Hurt, but House Badly
Riddled.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 21.-An all
night battle occurred Wednesday night
between Hugh Curry, wealthy farmer
of Ainwell township, and number of
men in ambush. Three hundred shots
were fred, but fortunately no one was
wounded. Curry's house was riddled,
and his terror stricken family
spent the night in the cellar. Towards
morning there was lull in the battle,
and Curry alarmed the village by ring
ing the bell in the tower Several
friends came to his assistance and re-
manned with him till daylight. 1t has
since been learned that Curry's assail-
ants were watchmen who were guard
ing the property of Marion Curry, whose
property adjoins that of his brother
Hugh. 1t seems that Marion
Curry has suffered from incendiary
fires, in which he has lost thousands
of dollars. The first fire was on May
II, and since then he has lost twenty
nine hay-stacks, barn and a stable

after considerable discussion it was de-

The Olcott committee it will he re-
membered, offered the state to accept
eighteen millions of new three-per-cent.
bonds, 20 millions of two per cent.
bonds, rising to ~ after five years, and
per cent. after ten years. This was
accepted. The bonds and interest cou-
pons are to be of the same character as
the Riddleberger bonds, and not receiv-
able for taxes. 1t is stated in the agree-
ment that there are only S2S 900, 900 of
the old bonds outstanding, but this, it
has been added, is probably arrived at
by ignoring the coupons maturing on
bonds since they We're deposited.

EXCITED TAXPAYERS
Overwhelmed tho Hamilton. O..

Delay in Receiving Taxes the Cause-Pn-
troll Wagons Called to Quiet the crowd
Women Faint and Men Crushed
Receiving Windows Broken.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 10 with the eingle
exception of the Berner riot. never in
the history of the Hamilton county
courthouse were such exciting scenes
witnessed as were seen shortly after
nine o'clock Friday morning
The failure of Treasurer Brooks in
stating that there would be an extern
sion of time gave people the impression
that the usual fine would be collected,
and there being only three days Of
grace remaining, a crowd of fully two
thousand people, eager to pay their
taxes before the goth, gathered on Main
street clamoring for admission.
Like great wave the great tide of
excited peopled rushed forward, men,
women and bows, rich men and poor,
and white. all in one conglomerated
mass The great hall of the treasury
is fianked on three sides with counters,
shut off from view by heavy colored
plate glass, behind which the clerks
stood ready to receive the cash.
BY the time the front ranks reached
this glass partition the whole mass had
gained such fearful momentum that
those in front were forced against the
railing and the animated mass piled in
upon itself till tire whole hall was one
solid block of people, wedged in so
tightly that many were lifted entirely
off their feet
The scene at this moment was fright
full. Those against the partition, in
their desperate efforts to get breathing
space, began clim bing over the top Of
it. Some body broke one of the heavy
plates of glass and following this ex-
ample dozens OF hands and canes were
thrust at the fragile partition and the
crash Of broken glass was everywhere
heard. Men fought and swore and
women screamed and tainted. The air,
filled with the outpourings Of so many
lungs. absolutely stung, and cry was
raised for cir.
George Losh, the treasurer's cashier
never looked whittier in his life than he
did when the crowd rushed up against
the windows and broke the stained
glass.
He said he expected repetition of
the riot of 1884. and it would have taken
very little more trouble to have precip-
itated the mob into a genuine riot of
first-class proportions Losh locked
up the safe and stood ready to vacate
the premises in case of emergency.
Nothing could be done with the peo.
pie and the police were telephoned for.

of Sergeant Watson and Patrolmen

for the scene. While they were coming
