PROBABLE FATAL INJURY.
"Leathers Charles" a well-known ne
gro, during a quarrel with another negro
man, badly cut him with knife in the left
breast and then made his escape, since
which time no effort, so it has been re-
ported, has been made TO capture the flgi-
tive. This morning the condition of the
wounded man was, reported as hopeless.
The difficulty occurred at "Fickln's
Quarters, /" four or i've mites from this city,
where fair was being held.
The safe in the office of the Monticello
Wine Company was broken into on Satur-
day night and the papers strewn about
the room. Fortunately no money was left
in the safe. No wine was taken, SO II
seems that the would-be robbers had their
trouble for their pains. No clue has been
obtained of their whereabouts.
| SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
On Saturday afternoon the four-horse
team driven by Mr.. Harlow, manager for
Dr. Richards for the past eighteen years,
