WANTED THE BUTCHER SHOP
Fight For the Possession Of a Main
Street Store
Mead and Wright Take ForcibIe Hold Of
Another Firms PIace--balf q Dozen
Arrests Already Made

When Mead, Wright & Co., the butchers,
were attached and their various places
closed out recently, most people thought
that they had disappeared for good from
the local sphere of action, at least so
sheriff Burr supposed, but this appears to
have been erroneous, and the men nave
become very much in evidence at present.
Some time ago the firm bought out the
business of a man named Stanley at 1904
South Main street. They ran along until
the attachment was levied and then the
place was taken possession of by the
sheriff. Mr.. w. A. Fields, the owner of
the property asked Mr.. Burr for release
OF the store room in order to rent it to
some one else, which was given him.
ssler & Alexander then took hold Of the
store, all of the material of Mead & Wright
being removed and put into another build
ing. Things went smoothly for couple of
months, but cloud appeared Monday.
BY representing to Mr.. s. Human, who
was in charge of the place for Bossler
and Alexander, the emissaries of Wright
got him to go TO the telephone to reply to
some person, and during his absence took
possession of the store. When Mr. Hin
man returned he discovered two men in
The shop. and that the door had been
secured against him. The fellow by the
front door told Mr.. Human to keep out,
but the manager darted thr ugh the lower
part of he screen door and was greeted
with vicious smash in the eye by the
ourly man inside. Hinman took a seat
hehind the counter, and as Mr.. Fields had
'elephoned for an officer the men de.
camped. About 6 o'clock an officer ar.
rived with warrant for battery against
Mr.. Human and Mr.. Alexander, and SO
the crowd got possession of the store once
more. They dumped the meat out into
the street and threw the tables, chairs,
blocks and o her things after them.
Mr.. Fields tried to find an officer, but
'uld not, SO at last he went before Justice
Sexton of the Rosedale district and sue.

Jose Maceo was left in his position and
he still held it.
Murder ANA suiclde.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 10. On the
sidewalk in front of 56 North Seventh
street, at a. M, in the presence of
throng of passers by, August Topper,
manufacturer of novelties, aged 36, shot
and killed Clara Herhold, alias Schmidt,
aged %, twice in the right side, and

aud lived with the Topper family as a
servant. Tepper's attentions became 80
annoying to her that she left the place a

General MaCeo interviewed.

New YORK, May 10.-A special to the
World from Songo, Cuba, says: A
World correspondent interviewed Gen
eral Maceo, who was found in his camp
in the forest league from Jaraguea, and
40 miles from Santiago. General Maceo
gave out some details of the fight at
Hondo creek, near Guantanamo, in
which his brother Jose Maceo, who is
not dead after all, had a sharp encounter
with 500 Spanish soldiers of Simanceo's
regiment, commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Bosch.
The Spaniards were attacked from am
bush. Jose Maceo had 700 followers.
The Spaniards admit loss of l6 killed
and several officers wounded. Accord
ing to letter just received by General
Maceo from his brother, the Spaniards
suffered severely. The Cubans used
their machetes with deadly effect when
the Spanish soldiers had fired away their
ammunition.
Maceo placed his men in position in
thickets along the bank of the Hondo,
which at that point is stream about 80
feet wide. Colonel Bosch approached
early in the morning along the bank of
the creek, and on receiving the fire of the
rebels, drew his men into position in a
cane field. The firing continued until 1
o'clock. AS usual the Spaniards wasted
much ammunition and when it was ex-
hausted Jose Maceo charged across the
river and cut many down with machetes.
One of Maceo's lieutenants, French
half breed named Alcide de Verger, rode
recklessly to the creek, calling on his
men to use their machetes. A shot from
the Spanish killed the daring man.
The Spanish regulars were aided by
200 volunteers. Colonel Bosch's men
withdrew when they had fred away
their ammunition. This is fatal fault
of the Spanish. The officers appear tc
make no effort to prevent the soldiers
from banging away as fast as they can

Insurgents Under Gomez Be-
sieged Guayaro Monday.
RELIEF FORCES WERE ROUTED
Smallpox and yellow Fever Aid the
Robels--General Nacso Talks of the
Fight at HondO Greek.

TAMPA, Fla, May 10.-Passengers ar
irving on the steamer Mascotte say the
condition of things is encouraging to the
Cuban insurgents.
It is said Gamaguaya has been invaded
by Gomez, who, with 5000 insurgents,
beseiged Guayaro Monday. There we're
about 1000 Spaniards in the city. After
the fighting became disastrous for the
besieged regiment from Cadiz; number
ing about $500 arrived, attacking the
Cubans in the rear. Gomez quickly re-
covered from the first onslaught. While
a small force kept up the conflict with
the forces of the city, his main body
faced the new enemy. The fighting was
very fierce, but it is asserted the strategy
of Gomez and the valor of the insurgents
resulted in victory.
The regiment from Cadiz, it Is said,
was cut to pieces. The city, the passen-
gers say, is in the possession of the in
surgents.
The Cuban loss in killed and wounded
is put at 700. The Spanish loss is 5000.
Smallpox and yellow fever are very
prevalent.
General Campos is said to be greatly
displeased with the situation, and insur-
gent leaders are hopeful that another
crisis will occur in the cabinet, which
will require Campos' return to Spain.
The Cubans assert dissatisfaction exists
among the troops over the execution of
Gallego. On this account Lieutenant
Mahy, who was taken to Havana for ex-
ecution, was not exeUuted, but was dec
GRATED with medals for valor.

Any one who has ever had an attack
of infammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr.. J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle

ailment. Mr.. Stumm is foreman of
Merrian's confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street on an
errand, he was caught out in the rain.
The result was that when ready to go
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of a good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and

Dishonest Cashier Gets Seven Years
San Quentin.

SAN Francisco, May 10.- John w.
Flood, ex-cashier of the Donohoe-Kelly
bank, has been sentenced by Judge
Wallace, to seven years at San Quen-
tin. Flood was accused of embezzling
$167 900. Flood had been tried twice
for embezzlement and once for falsify-
ing the records of the bank. On the
first trial the jury disagreed, the second
verdict of conviction was set aside, and
on the third trial he was acquitted.
Two weeks ago he appeared before
Judge Wallace on grand jury indict-
ment for making false entry of $780,
600 in his book of records of certified
checks passed through the bank. On
the advice of his counsel Flood refused
to plead. The judge construed this as
plea of guilty. Today defendants coun-
sci plead for mercy, but the court con-
strued the offense as felony, and not as
a misdemeanor, as the defendants at
torney argued.

The laIt few years she has passed as

The relations between Mrs. Hill and

Speaking of the recent railroad acci-

train dispatcher failing to give the
proper orders to the man who relieved
him, Geheral Manager Tucker says that
In the trenty years during which the
train ditpatching system has been in
use on the Maine Central, this Is the first
accident occurring as the result OF an

he says,i "may be put down as one OF
those unfortunate occurrences wh'ch ART
liable tb happen as long as men are
human. 1t was not due to any disobe-
dience Of misunderstanding OF orders. II
was theIresult Of wrong order from
the trail dispatcher at the time. IL IL

that It das such mistake as the most
