Both Are Rich and Each Calls the
Other Bad Names.

Mr. McComb says to-day that Mr.
Crow IL a slanderer.
Mr.. Crow says to-day that Mr.. Nc
Comb Is a spasmodic. homic!dal crank
with a deadly glitter in his eye.
Somewhere between these mutual com
pliments lies a mystery.
Meanwhile Lawyer John w. Con Is
going ahead to have Mr.. McCOmb in
dicted for assaulting Mr.. Crow. The
great Lexow inquisitor had the papers
before him at his office to-day, preparing
to push ahead with the complaint which

and well to do. He Is a civil engineer

that as Mr. Crow advanced to greet him,
Mr.. McComb banged away with his fist
and hit Mr.. Crow in the face, drawing
blood.
They had a downright fight on the spot,
but Mr.. McComb, being, as he confesses
the aggressor. lodged the first few dam

Imagine why, McComb assaulted him,

Mr.. McComb says, for his part, thai
Mr.. Grow knows very well why he was

BELGIANS SLAUGHTER ARABS.
One Report States that They Were
Treacherously Slain.

tBy Associated Press)
LONDON, Oct. 6.-The Exchange Tele-
gfaph Company announces that the Afri-
can mail has brought news Of serious
fighting between the Arabs and Belgians
In the Congo State.
1t Is alleged by these advices that the
Belgians claimed a truce, after heavy
fighting, and that they then hemmed in
the Arabs and massacred them without
quarter.
Another account says that the Arabs,
commanded by Chief Rumiliza, after a
truce. agreed upon a conference, but
that almost Immediately after II COM
menced the Arab powder magazine ex-
ploded. This caused both sides to sus-
pect treachery, and fighting between
them was resumed.
The Arabs were surrounded on all
sides by the Belgians, and were nearly
all massacred. Chief Rumiliza sue
ceeded in escaping, but the great ma
jority OF his followers persisted. Over
thirty chiefs were numbered among the
slain. The Belgians captured 800. 900
lakhs' worth Of property.

STILL READS GAYN0R.
Tnmmany Halls big banner Has
Not Yet Been Altered.

Observing pedestrians on East Four
teenth street this morning, who had
read In the morning papers OF Justice
William j. Gaynor's sudden, eleventh
hour determination not to run for
Judge OF the Court OF Appeals on the
State Democratic ticket, naturally cast
curious glance over towards Tammany
Hall, where the braves have, as usual
had their fiaring red campaign banner
hanging upon the outer walls.
Naturally they expected to see the
banner there. but they also expected TO
see an erasure OF the Brooklyn reform
er's name under the words. For Judge
Of the Court OF Appeals" in view Of
last nights developments.
But like the Star Spangled Banner
Gaynor's name was still there" and
its presence occasioned considerabl
comment. Tammany Hall has the rep
utduoh Of being the first in the field
with campaign banners, having at its
! beck and call lightning painters who
can turn out life-slze, II not life like
portraits, as well as the mere names OF
rs candidates. even while the nomina-
| tons are being voted upon.
These photographic artists on the
committee on mathematical advertiP-
ments were evidently caught mapping

at Gaynor had started his letter and

that Gaynor had started his letter and
had torn it up. saying that he would
write 1t In Brooklyn and send 1t over
during the evening"
The general impression seemed to be
that Justice Gaynor's friends in Brook
Ign had read in the evening papers of
Chairman Hlnckley's assurance and had
induced the ustice with all sorts OF po-
litical punishment unless he retracted.
1t is believed that these friends argued
with him until he changed his mind and
that they did not leave him until his
letter of declination had been written
and sent out to the press.
Lawyer Jimmy oliver said in relation
to Judge Gaynor's letter of declination:
And then to think OF him quoting
Scripture at the end! 1t gives me a
pain
The mention OF the name OF Henry r.
Beekman would indicate that the deal
with Grace is still on, Beekman being a
member OF the State Democracy.
Mr.. Beekman, speaking OF Justice
Gaynor's letter OF declination, said It
was the most remarkable, as well as the
funniest document he had ever read.
He tries to speak like q prophet"
he said. land dwarfs down to nothing
ness. l do not believe his action will
have the slightest effect on the State
ticket. They will undoubtedly find an
other man without much trouble to
take his place"
There were all sorts OF rumors af1oat
about the State Committee springing q
surprise when 1t made its report, but
non. OF them was OF a definite char
acter.
Among the many who were present in
the hotel corridors discussing the stu
alton were ex-senator Eugene s. Ives,
State Senator Jacob Cantor. George b.

Police Commissioner Sheehan said of
Justice Gaynor's refusal TO run:

work all the harder for IT. He will be
freer to act now for the success OF the
