NARROWLY AVERTED.
A SERIOUS SHOOTING scRAPE Al
 ALTHElMER
Between T. M. Philips and Isom o'Nef. The outgrowth of Clay
 toms Arrest.

From parties in the city from Al theimer who were eye witnesses to the affair we learn that serious shooting scrape between two promi- nent citizens of Jefferson county was narrowly averted at that place yes terdaY, which, but for the timely in teIference of mutual friends, would in all probability have resulted in a tragedy. The parties to the diff cnlty were Mir. Thomas NJ. Phillips, q big planter near Altheiner, and Mir. Ison O'Neil, a merchant at Wahbaseka. The scene of the diff culty was at the depot at Altheimer, and the trouble was the outgrowth of the recent arrest of NJ. l.. Clayton, a nephiew of Mr. O'Neil's, charged with setting fire to Mr. Phillips cot ton gin. When Mr. O'NeiI and Mr Phillips met at the depot the former charged the latter with inspiring a recent article in the Daily Gommer- cial reflecting on Clayton. Mir. Phil lips denied that he had had anything to dc with the article in question whatever, whereupon O'Neil called Phillips a d-dlying -, at the same time drawing a pistol and telling Phillips that if he resented the insult he (O'NeiD would kill him. AIr. Phillips replied that he was unarmed but that he would see him co NeiI) later, and he immediately turned and walked away. In q few minutes Mir. Phillips returned with Winches- ter rife, whereupon friends interfcrcd and took the deadly weapons from each of the belligerents.
 Shortly afterwards the train came along and each boarded it, but re- Nained in separate ears. Upon their arrival in Pine Bluff it is said that an investigation revealed Mr. Phil 1 lips innocent of the charge and that the affair was then amicably settled in q gentlemanly way and to the sat isfaction of all parties concerned.
 The mutual friends who interfered and prevented a difficulty, and were afterwards instrumental in bringing about peace, deserve the highest commenda tion.
 Mir. Phillips and Mr. o'Neil arc both prominent and useful citizens Of Jefferson county and the loss or hurt of either would have been q matter of serious regret.

BLUM,S OPENING
AseeNE OF DAZZLING spLENDoR.
A Grand Display of Dress Goods and Mii-
 nnery winch oharms the Ladles

Blum's grand fall opening begun this morning and continues three days, and throughout the day his store has been crowded with fair wo- men, who have been charmed with the dazzling spIendor of the brilliant display. t is undoubtedly the most brilliant and elaborate opening ever witnessed in this city, and while be- ing shown through the various departments this morning the GRAPHIC reporter heard universal compliments of the display on all sides.
 1t must be remembered that Mir. Blum has moved his Dry Goods Elm porium into the large two-story Simmons building at the corner of Second avenue and Pine street ,where he has larger quarters and better facilities for display of his mann moth stock of goods than he has ever enjoyed before.
 The GRAPHIC reporter was shown through this mammoth establish ment this morning, and it would not be improper to remark right here that Blnm's Dry Goods Emporium would do credit to any city in the land.
 On the west entrance there is dis played handsome line of French novelties and dress goods, which is followed by the black dress goods and silk department, wherein is dis played silks and satins of all va rieties, shades and eolors. Next comes the tapestry and flannel de partment, and this is followed by the linen department, where are dis played napkins, towels, table linen, etc. On the left as you walk down the west aisle is the notion depart ment. where are displayed all kinds of gay, gaudy and modest ribbons and faces to suit the tastes of the customer, and following this is the dress trimmings department where suitable trimmings can be found to suit the pocket-book of the wife of the millionaire or the most humble workman in the land Then comes the hosiery and corset department, which can better be imagined than de- scribed
 We have now come to the millinery  department-the joy of every woman in the land--an adequate description of which must not be expected at our hands. This department is under the management of Mrs. Johnson, of New York, and therein is displayed the latest styles of Parisian bonnets, hats, feathers, trimmings, etc.
 Next to the millinery department. on the left, is the cloak department, where are displayed all the latest styles of cloaks of the season. Then follows the household goods depart ment, and walking down and out | the eastern aisle on the left We come to the gents furnishing goods de- l partment, next to which is the ladies furnishing goods department while on the right for half q length of the store, is the shoe department where an immense stock of ladies, gents and chiIdren's shoes is displayed. Up stairs is the wholesale depart- ment, where an immense stock ofdry goods is kept, in the rear of which is the dress-making department, under the management of Miss smith, Of Baltimore.

Supplies for Var Vessels.

Furniture and supplies for Uncle
Sans new war vessels cost mint
of money. To fit out one of the
ships for cruise is, according to
the Washington Star, bigger job
than equiping a first-class hotel.
Here is floating fortress, as long
as two city blocks, with all modern
conveniences and complete restau-
rant facilities, lighted throughout
by electricity-a gigantic fighting
machine and military barracks
combined. Her steel walls, brist-
ling with guns, shelter a small army
of men.
The New York, for example, has
crew numbering 455, besides
forty marines and forty-four Off
GERS. To feed them all for a twelve
month, at the Governments rate of
allowance, costs 100000. On 60
ing into commission such a ship
must be furnished throughout,
from the kitchen, which is COM
plete as that of a great city hostel
ry, to the captains cabin. She
carries large stocks Of stationery,
hardware and apothecaries' goods
and is provided with tools for all
sorts of trades. Everything con-
ceivable that may be needed for
the purpose of war and peace is
supplied, because on the high seas
no shops or factories are accessible.

Sugar As a Medicine.

Among the ailments claimed to
be relieved by sugar are chronic
catarrh of the stomach, chlOrosis,
scrofula, achitis and various ner-
vous affections of the stomach.
Chamois hunters in Switzerland, it
is said, take with them On their
excursions nothing but bacon and
sugar, to restore expended muscu-
lar force. Sugar is to be looked
upon as nourishing food, and not
sweetmeat. In comparing the
consumption of sugar per head in
England and Germany, being three
to four times greater in the former
than in the latter, it is found that
the working power and endurance
of the English is frequently attri-
buted to their food, and in this
case also must be referred to their
sugar diet All should eat more
sugar, those who are ailing should
eat much such is the opinion of a
German writer, whose book was
published at Jena sometime since.

Twonty-iirst Annual Convention Held at
Cleveland, Ohio.

Cleveland, o., has had the honor of
entertaining those bright women who
are the leaders of the great white
ribbon" crusade-the twenty-first an
nual national convention of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union.
Miss Frances Il. Willard called the
convention TO order in Music hall with
over 500 delegates and thousands of
spectators present. In her address
Miss Willard referred TO the overthrow
of Tammany in New York as due TO
the influence of the women, and she
also spoke of the gains of the sutfrag-
lists in Colorado, California. Idaho and
Utah, and of the good influence of
women at the polls as shown wherever
they had an opportunity. The annual
report of the treasurer, Mrs. Helen NJ.
Barker, showed: Receipts, $40, 0l0.25;
disbursements, SEQ, $685. OF; balance in
treasury, S5.6S1.lS. There are no out
standing bills. The receipts of the
year were in excess of several previous
years, and the dues showed an increase
in paid-up membership over last year.
Besides receipts shown by the treas
urer books, assets to the amount of
So, 500 had been donated in interest
bearing notes and stocks, The CORE
spending secretary's report was also
very encouraging. She said: We have
now following of between 400 OOO
and 500, 900, including the active, paid
up membership of the WIS and US,
the honorary member and the Loyal
Temperance Legion, which is the
nursery of the organization. Of course
there were many splendid addresses.
The first item of new business was
the adoption of an amendment to article
/, section 1, of the union bylaws, to
read: TO allow the president TO APP
point one of the state vice-presidents
us vice-president at-large who may
preside at union and executive com
mittee meetings. The reports of the
'Y"-young woman s-work was es-
pecially pleasing.
A new feature was the annual SER
mon, which has heretofore been deliv-
cred by women, but which this year
was by President Bashiord, of the
Ohio Wesleyan university, who took
the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth" as
his theme. and said IT was the aim of
the w. c. Il. L. to bring it about by
solving the problems which confront
our civilization. After the sermon a
rousing suffrage meeting was held,
presided over by Susan Il. Anthony.
In one of the meetings the fact that
Mrs. Cleveland had christened the new
ocean steamer st. Louis with cham
payne instead of water was spoken of,
and that lady was criticised for not
being courageous enough to stand by
her convictions, she being n white

DIsnstrous Storms I'm Great RrItnIn.

London: Stormy weather and floods
prevailed over the south part of Eng
land, and the loss of life and damage
to property was very great. At Bath,
Somersetshire, the river Avon reached
the highest point of the century.
Thousands of people are homeless, and
arc being fed by the authorities. Sew
eral ships boats have been washed
ashore about Dover. The floods in
Sussex are increasing. Many houses
at Windsor and ut Eton have been
flooded. At Worthing, Sussex, the

General Assembly X. of l..

The general assembly of the Knights
of Labor was held at New Orleans
with one of the largest meetings of
the order for several years. The ses-
sions were held behind locked doors
and only surmises could be made as to
the character of the discussions. In
his address General Master Workman
Sovereign advised a coalition with the
A. X. L. and all labor organizations.
His resume of the Pullman strike ter
minated in severe criticism of Maj
Gen. Schofeld and the recommended
tions of that officer for an increase of
the army. He urged that the assembly
take strong grounds against an in
crease of the military force of the
nation and that they advocate de-
crease in the regular army and the
abolition of the state militia, for from
them are coming to the surface the
sentiments of military despotism. 2"
He also made sharp criticism of the
banking laws.
The miners delegation from Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania were unseated
despite their claim that they repre-
scented many thousands of knights.
The miners were unseated by vote of
% TO 80.
