enridRe were standing on Broadway when a
dispute arose as to whether Anderson was
sober enough to 60 home with his mother
Breckenridge argued that he was, while Simms
took the negative. Smms called Drecknridge

Simms drew a knife in order to carve the son
OF the silvcr-tongued statesman. He ripped
back OF tho ear. then slashed around over the
left eye. and finally ended by gashlng Breck-

and challenged the others to follow HIS lead.
One by ono all the older boys made tho Jump.
Then little Frank Bother announced that he
was about to make the jump some Of the older
boys raised a cry OF warning. Perhaps the cry
disconnected him.. At any. rate he leaped, fell
short. and landed in the midst OF the flames.
AS is usual in such cases the boys com;
panions did nothing. Poiiceme EN- Mahoney and
Garragan pulled him out of the fire after he
had become unconscious, and hurried with
him to the Brooklyn Hospital. He was terri

died at o'clock yesterday morning.
A boy told policeman that another hoy had

dedce to substantinte the report. He found
three men who had seen the accident all OF
whom said that they saw little Frank jump

THE CRINOLINE.
How it Appears to a Lady Friend OF
The Sentinel.

II do hope the hideous style will
not last long, but it is bound to come
and one may as well plunge right in
and have it over as soon as possible.
This is the only way to meet the dis
agreeable and inevitable. 1t is
true that women never dressed so
naturally, simply and becomingly as
in the year just passed, and with the
exception of the street-sweeping
trains, our dresses were never so COM
Portable. The greatest objection TO
the incoming mode is the stiff, heavy
skirt, back-breaking in ITS weight.
which cannot fail of injurious effects
upon the health of the wearer. But
Worth has spoken, and nolens volens.
women must obey, even to the shatteT-
ing of the last law of hygiene. We
no doubt deserve the ridicule, con-
tumely even, which we receive from
the other sex; but it is curiously
contradicting thing that the woman
who dared to cling to tight skirts
when the opposite fashion prevailed,
would be universally stared at and
condemned as peculiar, strong-minded
and unfeminine, or else choosing
to make herself purposely conspic-
ious."

POLICEMAN MARTIN
Painfully Gut up by Charles Conrad,
ColOeed.

f. A. Martin, sanitary policeman,
received several painful gashes Tues
day morning from a knife in the hands
of Charles Conrad, colored.
The difficulty occurred on top of the
stores in front of DR.. John Bynum's
Office on Fourth street. 1t originated
over the policeman inStructing Con-
rad, who drives for DR.. BYnum, to
move the latter'S horse on the street
in order that the street hands might
remove some dirt. Conrad refused to
obey instructions and he proceeded to
go to the office to see the Doctor as to
what he should do. Mr.. Martin fol-
lowed him up the steps and before
they reached the Office door warm
words brought on a fight, when Con-
rad, drew his knife and began using it
with fearful effect. He made three
painful gashes on the left side of the
policemans head and one across his
ear. Had not DIR. Bynum interferred
the difficulty would doubtless have re-
suited seriously for Mr.. Martin. At
ter being separated Conrad realized
what he had done and he at once
bounded down the steps and hit the
grit1lively. He was followed by one
or two officers and several citizens but
he succeeded in escaping arrest.
Mr.. Martins wounds were at once
dressed by DR.. Bynum.

WILL HAVE A NEW HOTEL.
A Handsome aud Imposing Structu
to be Built on Cor. I'd and Main SITS

Winston-Salem will very probably
in the near future have a first class
hotel. Arrangements have been
about consummated for building a
handsome three-story structure on the
corner of Main and Second streets,
occupying the four lots belonging re-
spectively to D. S. Reid, Miss Mollie
Watkins, DR.. G. j. Watkins and Mrs.
L. X. Stanton. All these, with the
exception of the one owned by Miss
Watkins, are now occupied by good
two story business houses.
The hotel will be cons Gructed so as
to give four handsome store rooms
and the main hotel Office on the
ground floor, with electric elevator
for reaching the hotel proper on sec
ond and third floors.
The building will contain about
seventy rooms and will be fitted up
throughout with all the modern applf-
ances necessary for hotel, first class
in every particular.
The work will very probably be
commenced in the early spring and
completed by midsummer.
One of the most successful and most
popular hotelists in the South has
already expressed his intention to
lease it as soon as completed.
