Pistols and Knives Drawn In the Very
Shadow of the PuIpit.
HARRoDsBURG, KY, May 31.-A very
disgraceful row occurred Sunday in the
Christian church at Cornishville, vii
lage twelve miles from this place. Will
lam Fl. Brighton, a young man twenty
two years old, walked into the church
about 10 o'clock, while preaching was
going on, passing James Huffman and
his three sons, Sylvester, Kirk and Thur
man, aged respectively twenty-five,
twenty and eighteen years. Just as
young Briton was about to sit down in
the pew some distance from the door
Thurman Huffman stepped up with
a drawn pistol, and pointed it at Briton's
aside little just as it was discharged.
He was powder-burned about the left
ear and side of the face. As he grappled
with Thurman, and was holding him
fast, confusion reigned in the church.
Women screamed, children cried, and at
least half dozen ladies tainted.
During this confusion Kirk Huffman
ran to his brothers relief and cut Briton
a long cash across the back. James
Huffman, the father, knowing his sons
were in the fight, and not being able to
see them on account of the crowd, be-
came desperate, and tried to rush into
the church with revolver, but was pre-
vented. Sylvester Huffman, who has
but one arm, was also kept off by SOME
bystanders, and he vented his rage In
loud swearing. The Huffmans have
been arrested and all are here under
guard. Young Briton is also here. The
cause of the affray is an old grudge
originating year ago, and was about 9
young woman. Sylvester Huffman and
William Briton had quarrel about her
and since that time threats have beer
exchanged between the two young men

Mr.. Bliss read statement from Mr..
Wlds of the water works construction
committee, as follows:
The amount for which the village has be
come obligated by the action of the water
works committee is rs follows: To C.. c. Peck,
$500, which has been paid; to the Electric
Light Co, 5000 which has been paid; to the
| Lang Il GOodhue Manufacturing Co., S3l 500,
about twothirds of which has been paid; to
l.. f. Mcllen, an unliquidated sum for placing
the intake upon his premises; to G.. G.. Smith,
an unliquidatcu sum for the disturbance OF his
property rights at the mill. Notwithstanding
the TACT that the village under the contract
| with the Lang Goodhue Mfg Co. was
obliged to sustain some expense occasIoned
by blasting the rock in laying the main the
committee, by abbreviating the main ut points
where It seemed desirable to do so, have saved
To the village out of the contract price the
sum of about $500. The deficit on the sale OF
the bonds was Sl2Oc.
Unless the committee are disappointed in
negotiating settlement with Mr.. Mellcn and
MIR. Smith, the expense of the construction of
the water works viii tall below the appropr
alton by Il small sum.
Mr.. Bliss also proposed this resolution,
drawn up by Mr.. Wilds. which, after
brief remarks by Mr.. Tupper, was
passed:
Whereas, the amount, including the gift from
Mr.. Charles Starr, appropriated by the village
for the construction OF the water works was
the sum of $1,000, and IA deficit OF 81 200 has oc
Cured by reason OF the inability of the com.
mittce to negotiate the bonds at par: and
Whereas, the sum of $780, interest, is due on
said bonds US OF the lst day of January, 1892,
and tho sum OF 5000, interest thereon, will fall
due on the lst day of July, 1892; and,
Whereas, 1t is highly probable that the in.
come from said water works will, after n short
time, more than defray the running expenses
and the accruing interest on said bonds;
Now, therefore, that no portion of the eX-
pense of said water works may become II
general charge upon the aXpayers of the
village, be ii resolved that, to meet the def
cheney in the appropriation for the construc-
ton of the water works, and to meet the
several installments of interest rs they accrue,
so far as they cannot be liquidated by the in
come from the water works, the trustees issue
orders upon the village, redeemabe at its
pleasure, bearing per cent interest, number
ed consecutively, and having printed on their
face the words "tor the water works"
And further resolved that said orders be
retired as fast as the income from the water
works will permit,
The meeting then adjourned to = p. M,
