FATAL CUTTING AFFRAY.
Robert Sterrett Stabbed by Sam
Black at GuerBeVilIe.

SANTA Rosa. Dec 21.-Guerneville. the
little town in the redwoods where there
was terrible fire last August. was the
scene of a sensa tional cutting ARRAY this
evening. Sam Black and Robert Sterrett,
two prominent men in town, got into an
alteration in Sterrett's saloon, and Ster-
rett ordered Black to leave the place.
Black refused to go, whereupon Sterrett
attempted to put him out Black had
been drinking and was in a bad temper.
He drew a big pockei-knife and made
several savage lunges at Sterrett, inflict-
ing FIVE big gashes in his back.
Sterrett fell to the floor. crying that he
had been killed. When laid in bed at his
home he was in such pain that 1t took
four men TO hold him down. Some of the
wounds penetrated the lungs. and there is
little hope of his recovery.
Black has been arrested. and there is
much excitement over the affair, which in
some respects resembles the killing of
Frank Bannster in Windsor few months
ago by Louis Espey. one of the prisoners
who escaped from Jail here with George
Bruggy.

SUNDAY EVENING CONCERTS.
Licenses of Certain Boston Resorts
Are Revoked.

BosTbN. Dec. 2l-Aiter an executive
session, lasting for several hours, the
Board Of Police, who have been nvesti-
eating the proprietY of the Sunday even
lag concerts, has decided to revoke the
licenses granted to the Palace Theater,
Howard Atheneum and Grand Dime Mu-
scum. No action was taken in the cases
of the Boston and HOIlis-sirret theaters,
Judgment in the former case being sus-
pended on account of disagreement.
The reason given for revokug the three
licenses is that the managers of those
theaters do not pay special attention to
the sacredness of the Sunday concert pro-
grammes. The licenses were granted by
the Board OF Aldermen, but under an act
of the Legislature of 1894 the Board of
Police is given authority TO revoke the
licenses granted by the Aldermen. This
decision is looked on as victory by the
leaders of the movement against Sunday

NEW YORK, Dec. 2L-The World this
morning says: There has been an cpl
demic OF diphtheria at the country home

outstanding the fact that more than
eighty children we're taken down with the
disease and that at least sixteen cases

The disease is not confined to the In
mates Of the asylum alone. 1t was learned

weeks to years of age. at the asy-
lum. There are also 100 mothers and l25
nurses on the ground. j. +. Ward Sim
mons, president of the Fourth National
Bank, is the president of the asylum. Que
of the first cases of diphtheria that was
discovered at the asylum was that OF little
Walter Fisher, who died in the latter part
of September last. A few days afterward
new cases sprang up at nearly all the cot
tages. The Health Officer was mott fed.
and at his suggestion one of the cottages
was cleaned out and turned into conta-
gious quarantine ward.
Psychological examinations that were
made showed that the disease had put in
an appearance IN the seyerest form. OF
course there were a large number of mild
cases among the infants. but the officials
of the institution admitted they had
treated over eighty genuine cases since
the epidemic broke out. Since the out
break of the epidemic the health officers
OF Mount Vernon have put the entire in
stitution under quarantine, and have for
hidden the reception of children from the
city until all Is well.
DR.. Bremmer. the medical superln-
tendent at the asylum, said; eyes, we
have had and still have diphtheria among
the children, and am glad to say that the
worst is over and that our patients are
doing WELL"
