ONE DEAD AND MANY INJURED.

a Dog Fight Near Port Union, o., End in
Free Fight Among the Sports.
HAMILTON, O., Dec. 13.-Grant Fox,
of this city, vas shot and killed at Port
Union, a small village three miles south
of this city. A desperate fight followed
the murder of Fox and several men
were seriously injured.
A dog fight had taken place in an ice
house neal Port Union and was followed
by a cock fight. The sport lasted until
4 O'Clock a. m. In the ice house Fox
was running an improvised bar. At the
conclusion Of the last contest the crowd,
numbering about a hundred, began to
indulge freely in liquors, and in a short
time a heated discussion relative to the
merits of the dogs took place.
The Hamilton contingent having lost
heavily on the battle were angry and
only required a little talk to fight.
Grant Fox, the bartender, said some-
thing which reflected on the courage of
one of the dogs and in an instant the re-
port of a revolver was heard and he fell
behind the counter dead. The firing
was the signal for the beginning Of a
general fight. in which revolvers,
knives, hatchets and stones were
brought into use. Jacob Roethinger,
father-in-law of Fox, ~endeavored to
come to the rescue Of his son after he
was shot, but was cut across
the right arm until that member
was almost severed from his body. He
was knocked down and rendered uncon-
scious, and may die. John Brady. of
Hamilton, was badly cut about the face
and body, and was said to be in a dying
condition. Neil Coakely, an engineer
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad, was struck on the top of his
head by a Ratchet and frightfully cut
about the face and body. His condition
is likewise serious. Several more of the
Hamilton people were more or less cut
and bruised.
The fact that the fight was under the
supervision of Ryan and Smith, both
members of the board of education, is
what has caused such a sensation in the
city.
Sheriff Krebs has arrested Harry
Grady, a saloon keeper, in this city, on
the charge of having killed Fox. Other
arrests NAV follow.

Traits Not Unlike q Human Being,

NoAAS
"No, I have not been toying with a buzz
saw nor shaking hands with a cyclone"
said Samuel Heatherby, as he limped to a
seat in the Laclede rotunda. Il have been
having a little matinee with a razorback
hog. I've bought a home at Dallas, and
have taken great pains to fix my lawn au
fait. You see down in that country people
pretty nearly live out O. doors. and the
flowers that bloom only in the spring up
here shed their sweetness all the year
round. The other day I discovered that
one of those long, lank, razorback hogs,
that can outrun an ostrich and root a hole
through a bank vault while you wait, had
gotten in and started to tunnel down to
China.
II went out and made a few impromptu
remarks to him, but he didn't mind-kept
right on with the artesian we'll. Then l
broke a four dollar garden rake across his
spinal vertebrB and the circus commenced.
l would get him within three feet of the
open gate, when he would turn, run over
ME and begin a new excavation before !
could get my feet out of the air. I then
called IN a policeman, but he ran between
the copper's legs, threw him a double
somersault and broke his collar bone. The
miserable tool Of an effete administration
is now suing me for damages.
Il was just about to turn in a fire alarm
and ask the department to put the porker
out, when an old negro stuck his head over
the fence and offered to emove him for
two bits. I closed with him at once, sat
down, nursed myself Inc watched proceed
ings. He went up to the hog and remark
ed: 'Yo stay right war ye is. Dye hyar!
Don't ebber femme catch you onto dis yer
lot The hog looked at him and moved
toward the gate. The negro tried to head
him off, but he uttered a loud 'woof' and
went down the street like Old Nick beat

descended from the monkey! He has sim

The Bank of st. George, Genoa.

The Bank Of St. George, of Genoa, for
700 years held an unrivaled position in the
world, and combined the qualifications of
the Bank of England with those of the
East India company. During all this period
it was in direct communication with Eng
land, and thousands of unedited documents,
tending to throw light on the history of
commerce, are there awaiting a successor
to Rawdon Brown. Certainly they are as
rich as the archives of Venice, if not rich
er. Within the past ten years an attempt
has been made to put them in order, and
to index them. Imagine the task. There
are now $1,000 packages of papers dating
from the Tenth century to the end of the
last, each containing several thousand
documents. IN National Review.

Severe Storms.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-A blizzard has been
prevailing throughout the west for
s8twenty-four hours or more. In this city
adrizzling rain, which fell nearly all
day, turned into a furious snow storm
with a gale from the west. The tenn
perature was not up to the freezing
point, and the snow melted as it fell.
Along the lakes the storm seems to be
general.
At Detroit the wind is high and the
weather is becoming colder.
at Toledo heavy storm, rain and
snow prevails.
In the far west the storm has been
general and still continues. Greatest
fears are entertained both in Nebraska
and South Dakota for the safety of the

enough to cause much loss in this re-
spect, but if the mercury falls ten degrees
more the loss will be enormous. Tele-

Charges of a Serious Nature As tc
Where Campaign Money Was
Expended.
Chairman Carter of the National
Committee Called To An
Accounting.
N. M. johnson Charges That Money
Was Used To Secure His
Defeat.

To Investigate the National Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A scandal is
brewing in connection with the national
republican committee. There are
charges of a serious nature in regard to
the expenditure of money contributed for
campaign purposes.
Some party leaders who claim that
their states or districts were neglected
by the national committee, are calling
for a statement of how the money which
came into the committees hands was
spent. A very large sum was raised to
enable the national committee to conduct
a vigorous campaign. Advocates of pro-
tective tariff desired a liberal and wide
spread distribution of literature. It is
we'll known chat the amount raised was
over ~S1,00O,O00. Some place it at
$1,5OO,OO
In spite of this the committee neg
lected the legitimate demands of cam
paign leaders in Minnesota, Illinois,
North Dakota, Nebraska and other
states.
When Senator Davis was in the hot
test of his great battle in Minnesota he
wrote twice to ssthe national committee
for tariff documents. He did not ask
for money. No attention was paid to his
request. His letters we're not even an
swered. Mr.. Rosewater made requests
for speakers and documents for Ne
braska and Illinois. Little or no atten-
ton was paid to him. Congressman
johnson of North Dakota, was similarly
insulted. johnson says he has evidence
that some money furnished by the re-.
publican committee was used in an effort
to defeat him. He has written Gen.
Clarkson for Information relative to the
money sent to North Dakota.
There is to be sharp inquiry into the
committees finances at a meeting to he
held here soon, the belief being that a
large sum is to be accounted for.
It is not known to what extent Chair
man Carter had the handling of money.
Possibly he is not to blame for the waste
of campaign funds, but the criticism
freely made regarding the ~mismanage-
ment of the campaign are mostly upon
Carter. .
