JIM HALL BADLY STABBED
And 'Parson" Davies Does the Stabbing-
a Bar Room Fracas.


MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, Aug. IA
~sanguinary encounter between the two
most noted characters in the sporting
world occurred here last night. Jim
Hall, the Australian pugilist, who claims
title Of champion middle-weight of the
world, was f~earfully worsted in an at
tack upon his business manager, Charles
b. Davies, whose clergyman-like appear
ance and suavity of demeanor are SO re-
markable as to win the apt sobriquet of
"Parson." Hall and Davies had been
stopping at the mineral spring here.
The encounter was the outcome of a
quarrel in the bar room of their hotel.
After an angry word or two Hal
struck viciously at Davies with
a bottle. The big prize fighters
arm was caught by bystanders, but,
shaking himself free, Hall attempted to
repeat the blow and Davis, at bay,
grabbed a lemon-knife lying on the bar
and, lodging Hills powerful fist, lunged
back at him with the knife, striking him
in the throat and cutting a terrible cash
from his chin to his ear on the right side
and narrowly missing the jugular vein.
You've done me, Charley, but stay with
me-" exclaimed Hall as blood spurted in
a horrible flow from the wound. The
room after the fracas presented a CORY
appearance. Hall will recover. Hall is
the pugilist whose fight, announced to
place with Bob Fitzsimmons at st.
Paul, caused such an intense excitement
throughout the country and was stopped
by the governor of Minnesota after in
.terposition by Archbishop Ireland.

A Deed of Nillainy.

lRoNToN. Ohio, August 21.-A terrible
occurrence here this afternoon has al,
most driven the place wild with excite,
ment. George Hamilton and his wife
went visiting, leaving their three chill
dren, Charlie, Edith and Emma, aged
one, 4 and years, respectively. After
a lengthy search the parents found the
three little ones confined in an old tool
chest. where they had died from suffoca-
ton. The mother is almost insane in
her grief. A stick, fastened in the staple
OF the chest, indicates murder. The DO
lice are investigating the cause.

LONDON, Aug. 21.-The reception of
the French squadron in Salient, off

ternational as well as a striking marine
event. The French ironclads. closely at

THE ALMY MURDERER,
A Morbid Curiosity 10 See Him-His
Statement Concerning Christie

and Himself.
HANOVER, n. H., Aug. 21.-The scenes
in Hanover this morning were similar to
those yesterday afternoon after Almy
had been brought to the Wheelock
house. At an early hour teams COM
menced pouring in from the surrounding
towns and soon filled the space in front
of the hotel on Main and Wheelock
streets. The sidewalks were lined with
people and everybody was discussing the
tragedy and capture and expressing
great desire to see the man. 1t soon be-
came apparent something must be done
quickly to inform neighboring towns
that Amy could not be seen today. j.
G. Bridgeman, first selectman, wired the
towns: "Please post the following
bulletin:
1T is useless to come to Hanover ex-
p%ecting to see Amy. The officials will
not allow him to be seen today"
The murderer has been removed to the
upper story. 1t is not likely that the
prisoner will be taken to the Grafton
county Jail, because of the insecurity and
lack of accommodations.
In a further talk with Almy today he
emphasizes his desire that the people
shall not rank him with common muir
derers. He says:
II know ] committed a brutal Il
der. nevertheless. / am not a brute, para
doyical though that statement may ap-
pear. | don't desire any pity and |
ought to suffer for my crime. Christie
said she loved me; that l had many
qualities she admired, but she said, 1
must test the sincerity of your love for
me by living an upright life and perhaps
some time in the future your efforts will
be remembered
Il am sure that hadthere been no out
side interference we would have got
along much better"

bandit, Catello. was shot and killed this
morning at > o'clock on Halo Duro
creek, in this county. Deputy Sheriffs
Wilson and locum of Park county and
Deputy Sheriff Tom Brewer of this
county and three others, surrounded
him and he refused to surrender. He
was wanted in Park county for the
murder of two Swedes. The fight lasted
three hours. The bandit was well
armed and had a large supply of ammu-
milton. Every opportunity was given
him to surrender, but his final answer
was Il shot from his revolver. DEPUTY
locum and Wilson are both good shots
but the bandit was so pro-
tected by rocks and trees. that
it was three hours after the first shot
was fired before any of the officials bull
lets took effect, although many of them
grazcd his body wherever it was exposed.
He fought desperately and, although he
was subject to attacks from six quarters.
he fired SO rapidly and with such accur-
acy that ii was impossible to close in on
him. The canyon is infested with other
notorious and desperate charactcrs.m mem
bers of his band, who will either be cap
turcd or meet the fate of their leader.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

." NV urIutr W shs
Country Fair-Dealers Conservative
Advance in Some staples
!, Fall in Others
New YORK, Aug. 21.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
During the past week attention has been
absorbed by great excitement in grain.
Russian orders prohibiting the export of
rye was taken as official confirmation of
the worst reports regarding the harvest
in that country. The price here was
suddenly advanced so far as to stop eX-
ports, and then as rapidly receded, clos
ing at 1:1415 or 914 cents above last
weeks quotation. There is little room
to doubt that the foreign demand will be
greater than ever if prices here are not
so advanced as to check it. 1t is in the
highest degree important that the
golden opportunity should not be lost
through such a rise in prices as would
curtail foreign consumption.
The general business of the country
does well with gradual improvement in
nearly all branches based on the actual
increase of demands from farming states.
1t may be doubted whether there has
ever been a more cautious and conserva-
tive feeling prevalent at a time when the
prospect of a large trade was bright and
in scarcely any branch is there seen
a disposition to venture upon large spec
ulative purchases. Stocks of goods carried
over have been large for years and deal
ers are admonished by failures and there
is a general disposition to purchase only
what is certain onsumer will require
hat many trades appear hesitating and
dull. Yet the volume of business
s probably as large as ever before at
midsummer.
Collections are not generally good. 1t
S well also that in other speculative
markets. except in grain, there is little
excitement; while corn advanced 81
cents, oats declined : and cotton. with
prospects of a large crop, declined a six
eenth.cotfee ID cents per 100 pounds and
3 cents, while pork also fell 80
'cnts per barrel with lard a shade
tronger.

THE PARNELL FIGHT AGAIN.

for Home Rule.
LONDON. Aug. 21.-Parnell's letter adj
uniting the inaccuracy of the AMOUNT at
tributed to Dillon's drawing from the
evicted tenants fund has brought to
a pause a wretched controversy in the
commoners' ranks, which really centers in
the desire of each side to obtain control
of the Paris fund. Parnell. brought to
bay, is netting out the same treatment
to Dillon and O'Brien which he has al
ready melted out to Healyites ami lib
eral leaders. but he is fighting an impos-
sible battle. Nobody doubts the scrupu-
lous integrity of Mr.. Morley, and on a
question of veracity Parnell, with
his record of the widest
statements stands no chance OF ere
dcnce: however, he still knows weak
points in his enemies armor and compels
them to vince and take refuge in am
biguities. This unedifying spectacle.
which gains undeserved attention, occur
ring as it does at the deadest part of the
political season can have but one result.
destruction to Ireland's chances for
home rule. The tory press and party
are delighted, that Parnell has
succeeded in drawing from Glad
stone and Morley. an admission
of anxiety to reach Parnell through Sc
cret channels. Long leaders in the tory
papers dwell upon the discontinue and
humiliation of the liberal leaders. while
the liberal press vainly appeals to the
party to leave Parnell alone. The cleri-
Gals are incensed at O'Brien and Dillon
for adhering to this plan of campaign in
defiance of Rome.
