4 ST1BBING AFF.iIR.
During II Quarrel Between Three Young
BOYS One Uses n Knifc

During II quarrel at Tenth and Washing
ton streets Wednesday afternoon about 80
o'clock, Edgar McComb of No. l0lT Mudi-
son street, aged about II years, was
stabbed BY Paul Hickman of No. ai3
Washington street, aged about II years.
The staDbing was done with pocket
knife The weapon was thrust in Nc
Combs left side and narrowly escaped
piercing the lang.
One version of the affair is that Hick-
man was quarreling with McCombs COM
panion, lal smaller and younger than
the other two boys, and that Hickman at
tempted to assault him when McCumb an
nouncei that he intended to defend him.
Soon thereafter the stabbing occurred,
A gentleman who was aprroaChing,says
he heard Hickman remark well, if YOU
both are going to tackle me I'd better draw
my knife also II nearly touched you
that time, but the next time will touch
You, accompanying the latter remark
with blows.
McComb did not know that he had been
stabbed until his hand came in contact
with his coat, when he felt the moisture
thereon. When his coat was unbuttoned
there was revealed n large spot black with
blood. Etlert was made to get McComb to
90 home but he refused, saying he was
afraid his father would punish him
While he was being taken to the office Of
pr. Bullock, the family physician, the gem
tleman accompanying him let go of him,
whereupOn he began to run and went
home. Or. Bullock was Immediately sum
moned and dressed the wound.
The victim passed a restless night. II is
not thought that the wound will prove
serious. Hickman will not be prosecuted.

dents grief was generally respected, and
nearly ali the men in attendance removed
their hats and bowed their heads when he
passed through the station leading his
surrowng family to the carriages provided
for them.
There were no special incidents on the
run from Columbus to this city beyond
the presence of the usual crowds of SYM
pathetic people at the various stations ON
the way.
Upon the arrival of the train at Indian
apolis a delay of half an hour was caused in
transferring from the funeral car the
wealth of floral emblems. Everything
being in readiness, the casket was lifted
and slowly and revcrently moved ont
through the sheds to the carriages in
waiting. The casket was borne by John
- ELAN, the Presidents partner; Judge
Wood, Hon. Il. g. Martindale, General
Lew Wallace, DIR. Allen and +. Z. Haughcy.
IN front Of the pail bearers were Judge
Niblack and w. +. FIshback. and in the
rear Moses q. McClain and John Il. Elder.
Following came the sorrowing relatives
and the Presidents official family,
The church was thing of beauty in its
sombrc and graceful decorations. The
sides of the room, high up under the cor
nices and between the large brackets, were
hung with heavy festoons of black with
white roscttcs, and between the windows
with ropes Of smilax. The decorations Of
the gallery consisted of two American
flags ut either end, the stars of which were
covered by creme set with white stars. The
large panel between was covered with
bands of black, and white and at the
bottom with white fCstoons beautifully
trimmed with smilaX. In the center was
a large round basket Of white carnations
and maiden hair ferns.
The large columns and arches surround
ing the organ were drapcd in black with
light bands and festoons Of white at the
top. The organ, which is gothic struc-
ture. was tastefully and entirely covered
from the cornice to the top, in front and
on the sides, with streams of black and
white. The Presidents pew No. 81, was
not used during the services, and was
draped i'll black and white and strewn
with flowers.
When the funeral procession arrived at
the church a crowdo b00Opeoplc thronged
the sidewalks. The casket was lifted and
borne into the church without incident of
moment.
The church services were characterized
by the greatest simplicity. As the coffin
was carried up the aisle and deposited in
front of the Chancel the organ pcaled
forth a soft melody, the choir hen sang
Lead, Kindly Light" with beautiful
effect and DIR. liaincs offered invocation
and read selections from the scriptures.

A Good Move.



The chairmen of the Democratic and
Republican State committees and chair
men Of the county committees of both
parties are 10 meet in Dover on Tuesday
next, with view to agreeing upon the
disputed points in our election laws.
This is proper move and the results of
the conference will be the issuing Of
joint instructions to inspectors and cleo
ton officers throughout the State, which,
it is hoped, will avoid disputes and
wrangles about voting and counting Of
votes on election night. We believe
that all fair-minded men will sanction
and indorse the proposed way OF arrlv-

They Can Ten Themselves.

Party organs and protection tracts
have bristled with figures designed to
convince workingmou that the wages
have advanced and farmers that prices
have risen. Now, on this point wage
earncra and farmers are better Informed
than the politicians. Their source of
information is the payroll and the
markets. Every workingtnan knows
whether his wages are better or worse
than they were and whether the cost of
living is higher or lower. Every farmer
knows whether lie gets more or less for
his products now than he did. And
whatever may be the facts, every in
telligent wage-earner and farmer has
his own opinion MS 10 whether protec-
ton has been to hima boon or burden.

Miners.
SIDNEY, MS. w, Oct. 20.-The trial Of
the leaders of the recent strike at the
Broken Hill mines, who were charged
with assaulting non-union workmen,
ended to-day in the commonwealth
court. The prisoners were sentenced to
terms of imprisonment at hard labor
varying from three months to two years.
The trouble at the Broken Hill mines
grew out Of the refusal Of the union
miners to work under the contract
system. There were, however, thou
sands of men in New South Wales and
the adjacent colonies who were willing
to take the places of the union men
who were on strike, ifthey were assured
of protection.
The government having promised to
afford the desired protection large
party Of non-unionist miners went to
Broken Hill, by special train under a
strong police guard. A crowd of union
lists and their sympathizors assembled,
and as the train neared the station the
new miners were hootcd and stoned
The police fixed bayonets and repulsed
the crowd, and got the non-unionists
out of the station TO a.place of safety.
Nine policemen and two of the non
unionists We're seriously injured.

MANY LIVES LOST At SEA.
Only Seven Saved Out Of a Total
of 1922 Persons on Board.

Disastrous Wreck of the Steamer Kou-
mania on the Coast of Por.uGal--Many
Passengers Drowned in Their Berthss
LISBON, Oct. 20.-As soon as the in
telligence reached here that the Anchor
Line steamer Roumania had been
wrecked, the government ordered the
gunboat Iezere to proceed to the mouth
of the Aveiro river, the scene OF the dis
aster, to render whatever assistance she
could. The gales were blowing so furi-
ously, however, that the commander OF
Kezcre was unable to take his vessel out
of the harbor last night, but early this
morning the gunboat started, for the
scene of the wreck.
The place where the Roumanla was
lost is a little to the northeast of Cape
CarvoeirO, almost the extreme westerly
point Of Portugal. Severe westerly
gales have been prevailing for some time
past, and it is thought that the Rou-
mania made more leeway than was cal
culated upon by Captain Young. At
any rate, instead of being well off shore,
MS it was supposed, the vessel was off
her course and headed directly for the
coast, which at Cape Caryoeiro makes a
sharp curve TO the westward and out
into the Atlantic. Navigators along
this coast always stand well out to sea,
for in addition to the head lands of Cape
Carvociro and Cape Daroca, the Belinga
and Farithoes groups of islands lie a
short distance outside the coast line, and
render the passage difficult and danger-
Gus.
ONLY SEVEN WE'RE SAVED.
II has been learned that of a total o
1872 passengers and crew on board only
seven were saved. There are no life
saving appliances in the vicinity of the
wreck, and even if there had been it is
very doubtful if they could have been
used in the teeth of the gale, amounting
almost to u hurricane, that was blow
ing, and the tremendous breakers that
were running. 1t is evident that the
steamer is breaking up and her cargo is
being washed ashore.
Later news shows that a heavy fog
prevailed at the time the Roumania
struck. A heavy sea is still running
about the wreck.
Seven bodies, in nearly nude con-
dition, have been washed ashore, and
the fact that they We're unclothed is
taken to indicate that many of the
people ON board were in their berths
when the steamer struck, and had not
chance to save themselves.
PROBABLY RREAkING TO PIECES.
The place where the steamer went
ashore is most difficult to get at in
stormy weather, and AS the sea is high
it is impossible t. say with certainty
whether She has broken up or not. Her
decks must he washed away, however,
for her light cargo has apparently foated
out Of her and been washed ashore.
TWO wRECKERs DROWNED.
AS the news Of the wreck spread,
great crowds of people, many Of them
from places IL long distance inland,
gathered along the shore and seized
upon the wrcckage as il landed. Two
men saw something floating in the
water that they thought would prove a
valuable prize. They rushed into the
surf to seize it, but just as they were
about to grasp it they were picked up by
Il rcceding wave and carried out into the
water, where they drowned in the sight
Of hundreds Of onlookers.

Splendid Crops.

1t is generally conceded on all
hands that the crop prospect in
Grant parish was never better at
this season of the year than it is at
this moment. At this writing, Au-
gust 18th, the corn crop is made,
and is without doubt the heaviest
and best we have had for a dozen
years. The reports from the hills
as we'll as the bottoms are alike
cheerful. The cotton weed is large
and fine looking, but some COM
plant is made about the shedding
of bolls on account of wet weather.
However cotton will make until
frost, and with a big weed wonders
can take place in the next three
months.
