KNIVES AND PISTOLS FREELY

UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
| For The MIDLAND JOURNAL.
The cider business at Porter
Bridge has been gradually growing
more intense as the season advances
and the cider hardens. 1t reached q
i sort of first climax on Friday last
when party OF about a dozen COL
ored youths ran the growler from
headquarters at the Bridge" to a
point on the southside of the Octo-
raro. Some telegraph men were
working on the other side OF the
creek, and when the hard cider be-
gan to get in its fine work the "boys"
began pistol practice, taking the
telegraph men for targets.
After eating supper at their board.
ing place the telegraph men started
for the cider ranch for the purpose
of finding the shooters of the shots
and having a settlement; they found
them assembled in the basement
among the barrels, and cider and
oaths flowing freely, but of course
they could not identify the hoy, or
boys, who had fred the shots. One
colored youth declared his right aud
his intention ''to shoot where and
when he pleased" but this brave son
of Ham" was soon landed upon his
back and received o severe pummel-
ing from one of the pole climbers.
He managed to get out and made
tracks for home as fast as his maud
lin condition would permit of his
going. There he told his tale of woe
to his father, who soon appeared in
the basement pistol in hand. He, too,
was promptly knocked down and the
pistol taken from him, and it still
remains in the hands of the pole
climbers.
Soon after another colored father
arrived in the basement, with
double barreled shot gun, and free
fight ensued in which Ed" was
knocked entirely out, and has a bad
face, and "Jim' carries his arm in
sling.
The family cooking is also done in
the basement, and it ia no unusual
sight to see the cooks striding over
the PROSTATE forms of drunken
negroes in their efforts to get to the
cook stove whilepreparing the meals.
Fortunately for them these women
are very long in the neither limbs, or it
might lie a very difficult matter for
them to prepare the meals under the
circumstances.
Now, Mr. Editor are the people of
this community going to allow this
thing to go on, until some terri BILE
crime is committed at this miserab lie
drink hole, when the tax payers Of
the county will be called upon to
settle the bill ? Surely, in this case.
an ounce of prevention would be
better than many pounds of cure.
Under the present law merchant
or storekeeper has to pay an extra
license if be sells alcohol or Jamaica
ginger for medical purposes, but this
family can sell drink. by which the
peace of the neighborhood is con-
stantly disturbed, and the lives of
women and children endangered,
without paying one single cent of
license. This cider is made by this
man in unlimited quantities and sold
in his basement at 25 cents per gal
lon! All clear profit you see. But
detective is on the track and some
arrests will shortly be made.
QUIETUs.

New YORK, October s.-Senator J..
n. Camden, Of West Virginia, to-day
to an Associated Press reported in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, ~ think the silver
question will be settled next week.
1T will, l think, be settled substan-
TALLY naturally by the repeal Of the
Sherman act. There may be some con-
cessions and enactments. but am not
prepared 10 say at present what they
will be.
81 believe the repeal of the Sherman
act will restore confidence and make
money easy and plenty. It's repeal is
all that is necessary to restore conf
dence in the government and make
money plentiful on a gold basis. When
the act is repealed expect money will
very soon be plenty. What the people
want is stability in currency which the
repeal OF the Sherman act will give US.

the Senate over this question, but it is

gress will take 8 recess when IL has
