OUTLOOK IN THE SOUTH.
Republicans Have a Good Fighting Chance

If Elections Are Fair.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Washington Oct. R3.-During the
next two weeks there will be a good
deal of attention paid by the officials
of both committees to the condition of
affairs in states south of Mason and
DiXon's line. The idea of breaking
the Solid South" has never been
very encouraging one to the Republi-
cans, but the conditions are such this
fall that the only thing going to pre-
vent an increase in the Republican rep
resentation from southern states will
be a recourse to the long-established
custom of counting out any man who
has fairly defeated a Democratic can
didate.
If fair count can be secured in Vir-
ginia there is not the slightest doubt of
at least two Republicans being elected
from that state. There are four dis
tricts in Alabama that present very
interesting condition, and one that is
very encouraging to the Republicans.
They are the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh
and Ninth. In these districts the Kolb-
ties, Republicans and Populists have
combined and the Democrats are very
much alarmed over the situation. In

In the latter state the Populists are
endeavoring by all possible schemes
of fraud to retain their power but
reports received here indicate that they
will do we'll if they succeed in electing
one member. This will be Jerry
Simpson, of Medicine Lodge, and even
in his district the Republicans are
feeling confident of success.

South Side IIoodlums Slash James Gala.
han with Knife.


A desperate affray took place at
o'clock this morning in the vicinity of
Prospect avenue, South Side, in which
James Callahan, of River street, was
murderously assaulted and had to be
conveyed to the central police station in
the patrol wagon, to receive medical
assistance.
A short time before / o'clock officer
Boland heard a group of men quarrel
ing on the corner of Prospect avenue
and Orchard street and dispersed them,
but Immediately afterward he was
called to River street, where desper-
ate fight was in progress between Cal
lahan, Michael Fallon and William
Mahon.
A Tribune reporter saw James CAL
lahan at o'clock this morning, and,
although seriously wounded in several
parts of the head, he was able to eX
plain at intervals that he was prepar-
ing to go to bed when a rap was heard
at the door, and a messenger requested
him to go to the assistance of his
brother, Charles, who was receiving
punishment at the hands of Fallon
and Mahon. AS soon as Fallon saw
him he said, "You are bigger than
Charley, your brother" and slashed
him with a knife, and pounded him on
the head with a large stone.
Callahan presented a woeful sight as
he was driven in the patrol wagon,
blood was smirched over him in all di-
rections, and his face was covered with
alternate cuts and bumps and blood.
Stained bandages completed the sick
ening spectacle.
officers Boland and Neules made the
arrest of Fallon and Mahon, who were
drunk and seemed to treat the matter
in light spirit. Charles Callahan was
also arrested.
The prisoners will be given hearing
this morning If the injured man is able
to attend.
