of the matter think dispassionate men
would say the sooner ended the better;
the sooner we stamp the seal which Will
efface all former aninosities and open
the era of peace and good Will
the sooner done the better. Let me en-
treat you-if it were my latest breath, l
would so entreat you-let the dead bury
their dead, and cast behind you former
recolections of bygone evils; cherish,
love and sustain one another through
all the vicissitudes of human affairs In

At the conclusion Of his speech Mr.
Gladstone was overwhelmed with con-
gratulations. He took leave OF the
House, and after resting an hour drove
home in high spirits. he dined with
his family and maintained his viva
cious mood during the entire evening.
Throughout the time Mr.. Gladstone
was speaking Messrs. Balfour, Goschen,
Chaplin, Partett, and other prominent
members Of the Opposition listened In
tently and took copious notes.
Justice Harlan, of the United States
Supreme Court, in conversation with
Mr.. Gladstone's secretary in the lobby
OF the Honse, declared that the entire
speech was matchless, and that the Pc
roration was the most beautiful and
pathetic he had ever heard.

WASHINGTON. D. c., February Ia
1t is understood here that Mr. Cleve-
land has changed his mind somewhat
as to those places in the Cabinet which
still remain TO be filled. He had at one
time determined not TO appoint
Southern man to the Attorney Gener-
alship. 1t is said now that he has re-
considered this determination, and that
there is q strong probability that Mr..
Culbertson, of Texas, will be made At
torney General, though this has not
yet been settled. 1t is Mr.. CleVe-
lands desire that the Secretaryship
of agriculture should go to The Pacific
coast. The name of j. Sterling Nor
ton is under consideration for this
place, but it is Mr.. Cleveland's desire, II
he can find the right man TO give the
aupointmene 10 the State Of California.
The understanding is that Mr.. CleVe-
land has decided that both the war and
navy portfolios shall go north, and that
the navy portfolio will go to Connecti-
cut. The navy department, the depart
ment Of justice and the department OF
agriculture are the only ones now open,
Gresham having been selected as secre-
tary of State. Carlisle for secretary OF
treasury, Hoke Smith for secretary OF
interior, Bssel for postmaster general
and Col. Lamont for secretary OF war
Congressman William l.. Wilson's
name was again frequently mentioned
to-day in connection with the Attorney
Generashp. The belief is great that
Mr.. Wilson was offered this place when
he went TO see Mr.. Cleveland at LaSe-'
wood recently, but from circumstances
which have developed In the last few
days it appears settled that Mr.. Wilson
declined the tender on the grounds that
he preferred to remain In the House OF
Representatives, believing he could
there be Of greater service to the party
than in the Cabinet, and feeling that
the duties OF a member were more to
his liking than those OF a Cabinet officer.

After the Baby Was Named. the Fight
Began, and six Fatally Hurt Was the
Result
ST. LOUIS, February 13.-At 2632
Chateau avenue last night there was a
celebration aud christening. About
1890 all present involved 10 a riot.
Men, women and children participated
and every conceivable weapon was used.
In a few minutes the place looked Ike
a slaua hter house, the walls, floor, and
even the ceiling, being covered with
blood. A wagon load Of police hnally
succeeded In quelling the disturbance.
Six OF those involved were carried to the
dispensary and their injuries may prove
fatal. Three OF them are: Tom
O'Rourke, Pat Murphy, Pat Killegan.
The names Of the others are unknown.
The trouble started because some one
wanted to take the newly christened in-
fant out OF doors. The father, Tom
O'Rourke, objected and the row imme-
diately ensued. OF those named as be-
ing sent 20 the dispensary all are be-
lleved to be fatally injured. Davis Me-
GillIgan will also die, II Is thought. Be-
sides these four, twelve others were
seriously cut or sustained fractures
and had bruises about the face.

the coal shute, and in little while the engine
began to creep down the hill toward the de
pot, where the crowd was standing. At 9.5S
Conductor Murphy pulled the bell cord, and
Engineer Garrison brought engine SOL and the
train to standstill at the station:
Half an hour before ten o'clock James
King, Nose Merriwether and John Neal, ap
piled for tickets 10 Green wood. Night tele
graph operator and ticket agent j. A. Scott
not knowing whether TO sell the tickets, ap
piled his fingers to the little ticker on the Ia.

A little later John w. Sign. Jr., applied for q
ticket TO Clinton, which was furnished. These
four made up the local travel from Abbevllle

The train consisted OF a mail and express

Exactly at ten o'clock the engine bell sound

Of the wheels as the train went toward Long

He has many friends in Abbeville, who

The editor Of the Press and Banner has

is no one within the range of his acquaint-
