BOATMEN AT WAR.
Serious Cutting ARRAY on Front
Street Last Night.
James Murphy, a Declz-hand, Fright
fully Slashed-Hfs Friends Then
Do Up Pilot Gus Shultz.

The combination Police Station and
Receiving Hospital looked like slaugh-
ter-house last night.
About 10 o'clock young man named
James Murphy, 'table-turner'' on the
steamer San Joaquin No. 8, staggered into
the station bathed in blood that flowed
from frightful knife wound which en-
compassed half his head and face.
He was trying to hold the edges of the
ghastly wound together with his hand,
and all he could or would say was that
he believed he was about to die, and de-
sired the services OF a Catholic clergy
man. He was perfectly sober.
Jailer Clark at once conducted the in
jured man to the hospital ward and tele-
phoned for hack to be sent for priest.
1t soon returned with Rev. Father Glea-
son, but in the meantime the City Physi-
clan had come and sewed up the wound.
Several steamboat men followed the
injured man to the station, ana said that
the cutting was done by Gus Shultz, a
pilot on the same steamer on which Muir
ply was employed. They cid not see the
difficulty, but knew that ShultZ and
Murphy had had q fight at Front and n
streets.
About midnight, While OfhcerS Lowell
and Wilson were looking for Shultz, they
found man lying in the gutter on L
street, near Second. They found the man
to be the very one for whom they We're
searching. He was almost unconscious,
and bleeding from numerous cuts and
bruises about his face and head. He said
that q gang Of Murphy's friends had met
and assaulted him. When brought to
the Police Station he looked rs ii they
had been dancing a jig on his face. He
had one bad cash over his right eye.
Shultz denied that he had cut Murphy,
but when searched an opeu jack knife
was found in his coat pocket.
The officers learned during their search
for Shultz that Murphy and he had quar-
relied on Sunday while going on a trip ur
the river, and that Murphy last night as
saulted ShultZ when he got him ashore on
the street. ShultZ was talking with a
man named Colombo at the time. He
disclaimed all knowledge Of any cutting.
The doctor was again sent for, this time
TO dress ShultG'S wounds.
Murphy's wound commences near the
top of the head and runs downward be-
hind and under the right ear and thence
across the cheek nearly to the nose. AT.
ter the officers returned with Shultz
Murphy admitted that he struck Shultl
before the latter cut him. He lost great
deal of blood, but will probably recover

RESCUED FROM PERIL.
Three Children Saved From q Rum
away Accident.


The little son of J. S. McA1ahon and
two other children, daughters of K.
Douglas, met with an accident yesterday
that would perhaps have cost them their
lives. They were riding in buggy on
j street, the oldest boy-who is about IL
years of age-driving, and when near
Sixth street a cart driven by a man
named Mason collided with their vehicle.
One wheel of the children's buggy was
smashed, and the horse started to run of
with them, when Conductor William
Ashley of one of the electric cars put on
his brake and jumping to the street ran
after the frightened animal After a
short chase he succeeded in grasping the
bride and finally stopped him.
But for his prompt action the children
would have been either seriously injured
or killed. Those who witnessed the col
lision lay the blame therefor entirely
on the driver of the cart.

For the SPECTATOR.
A SAD REFLECTION.

The action of some members of the church,
protesting to be Christians. at the late local
option election, has caused me to have some
sad reflections. When I see men who profess
to be Christians and solicitous for the tenn
poral and spiritual welfare of their fellow-men
go to the polls and vote to license the sale OF
that which, according to the faith they profess,
destroys not only the character OF man In Time
and produces woes unnumbered In this life,
but causes the loss of his soul In eternity
when say, 1 see thai. am forced to believe
either that they are very sorry Christians. or
rather no Christians at all, or that Christianity
does not cause q man to seek to promote the
welfare of his fellowmaD, temporal or spiritual
As they are the friends of whiskey, the most
potent ally of Satan on the earth, they are
aiding Satan to destroy the souls of men.
whilst they profess to be the followers Of
Christ. How can they do this? Is 1t possible
for them to believe that they are pleasing
Christ when they do 1t? Can they ask bless
ing upon their vote to license the sale Of that
which Christianity teaches destroys the souls
of men? If they cannot, how can they. as Chris
tians. thus vote? I verify believe that such
conduct by members of the church is doing a
great deal to destroy not only the confidence Of
men in the honesty of such church-members.
but in Christianity Itself.
Who Is the better mamie that makes no pro-
fesslon of religion, bnt votes to save men; or he
that makes loud professions. but votes for that
which destroys them? Whose conduct Is the
| more acceptable In the sight of God? For my
part. Mr.. Editor. l have no hesitancy In saying
that would Iathor be the man that makes nc
profession Of religion. but votes to save men
than he who makes profession, but votes for thai
which, according to his faith, damns them. He
serves best who docs best. CIVI5.

A Novel Feature at the Southern Inter-
State Exposition.
The management OF the Southern Exposition
to be held during October and November, 1891,
at the Capital city Of North Carolina. have ar
ranged a novel plan for the farmers within five
or six days drive of the city. They have had
plotted off large tract OF land into small plots
of fifteen by thirty feet. which are fenced in.
with gate or entrance to each; and they are
advertising extensively for the farmers and all
who desire to do SO, to go to the Exposition in
their own wagons. and carry provisions with
them for o stay of q week or ten days.
This is novel plan. The city of wagons Will
have police regulations, and will be guard I'D at
night by duly commissioned policemen whose
duty will be to preserve order, as well as to see
that no one molests the property of those
camping out. PARTIES having ladies with them
will be placed In different camping grounds
from the parties who have men exclusively,
and special care will be taken to preserve the
very best OF order.
The majority of people will prefer to go this
way for the following reasons:
First. II will be little or no outlay OF money
Second, No danger of railroad accidents.
Third. The party will feel like they are mas
tiers Of their own house. and will not get tired
out as is usually the case when stopping at
hotels.
Fourth, 1t will be pleasant trip, and t see
the hundreds Of covered wagons going and
coming will remind one of old times.
