STABBED IN A BARROOM.
A Dispute About Drinks That
Will Probably End
Fatally.
CLARENCE BARR THE VICTIM.
c. B. Henderson, a Travelling Man
of Rochester, N. Y, Welded
the Knife.

Clarence Barr, a well-known Chinatown
guide, was stabbed, it is supposed fatally,
between ana 4 O'Clock yesterday morning
by C. B. HENDERSON in the Baldwin Hotel
barroom.
Henderson is traveller for big shoe
house in Rochester, n. Y, and it is said
has a share in the business. He arrived in
the City Friday night and about o'clock
yesterday morning staggered into the
Baldwin barroom considerably under the
influence of liquor and said in loud,
threatening tone of voice that he wanted
to kill the barkeeper. No attention was
paid to him and he dropped his threaten
ing tone.
Barr was standing at the bar and Hen
derson asked him to have a drink. They
each had whisky, and after chatting for a
minute or two Barr returned the compli-
ment Henderson then called for another
drink, but forgot to pay. The barkeeper
(Edwards) suggested that he should pay
and he retorted that he had paid for the
drinks. The barkeeper appealed to Barr,
who said that Henderson had not paid.
This angered Henderson and he turned
upon Barr. ''If you say that I didn't pay
for the drinks, said Henderson, ''you are
a liar"
Barr, who was also slightly under the
influence of liquor, resented the term
liar" by slapping Henderson in the face.
Henderson ran into the billiard-room
and returned in a few minutes. Eddie
Bennett, the cashier in the barroom, saw
Henderson coming, and fearing trouble
walked from behind the bar Barr had
started to meet Henderson, but was held
back by the barkeeper, while Bennett
caught hold of Henderson and tried to get
him to go outside. He got him as far as
the door opening into the hail. which leads
to the ladies' entrance on Ellis street, but
he would go no further. All the time he
was talking back at Barr. Barr got ex-
asperated at something he said, and not
outstanding the barkeeper's entreaties
not to make trouble he walked up to where
Henderson was standing.
As soon as Barr was within reach Hen
derson plunged knife into his abdomen
Barr staggered back, clutching at the
wound with both hands, and yelling to
Bennett aud Edwards, look out, he has
knife" Bennett attempted to arrest
Henderson, but when he saw the long
bloody knife he considered that discretion
was the better part of valor, and he allowed
him 10 walk away.
Henderson ran toward the Ellis-street
| entrance and Bennett rushed outside on
1oWeu street anu yeueu lot the ponce.
Policeman Hayden was standing on the
opposite side of the street, and hearing
| Benefits cries he rushed over to him.
Bennett, in a few hurried words, told the
officer what had happened, and as Hayden
ran after Henderson he shouted to him to
/ look out for the knife. Hayden pulled out
! his revolver and threatened to blow Hen,
derson's head off if he did not give up the
knife. Henderson reluctantly did SO, and
| Hayden rang for the patrol wagon and
| sent him to the City Prison where he was

40 years of age. He was dressed in black
Prince Albert suit and wore little soft
blue travelling cap on his head. When seen
yesterday afternoon he showed the effects
of the previous nights debauch in his
beared eyes and shaking hands. There
was deep blood stain on his left cuff, and
when his eyes rested upon it he seemed to
shudder all over.
When asked for his version of the affair
he courteously but firmly declined to say
anything. II have left everything in the
hands of my attorney" he said, "and /
must refer you to him.
Attorney Mack, who has been retained
by Henderson, said he has wife and three
children in Rochester. He left his home
about two weeks ago, and after spending
some days i'll Chicago came on direct to
this City, arriving on Friday night, to fulfill
some important business engagements. OF
the events or the previous night, he told
his attorney, he had no recollection.
Henderson was arraigned in Judge
Lows court, but at the request of his at
torney and the prosecution the case went
over to await the result of Bars injury.

placed in his hands case that may yield
a good fat fee, or it may end in few
wasted hours spent in debating lengthy
letters to Eastern parties. Should the
final result take this turn, then Uncle Sam
will be the only one enriched by the trans
action, and then only to the extent of
few postage stamps. The case involves
something like $4,000, and the only thing
that initiates against the ultimate success
of Mr.. Hall, in behalf of his client, is its
antiquity.
1T is a most remarkable story in many
respects. said Mr.. Hall yesterday, land il
is a mystery to me how any one could
have on hand documents worth SIC, 900 and
forget all about it. A few days ago Will
liam S. Johnston of this City came to my
Office, bringing with him lot of notes
calling for $40 each. He has 1000 of these
notes, or $50, 900 worth in all. Each note
promises to pay Jacob Marshal $40. nine
months from date, with interest, if not
paid when due.
According to the story told by my
client, he came into possession of the notes

in the courts to GUST him. In the natural
order OF events it may follow that the con-
stitutionality of the act will be questioned
should proceedings be instituted to re-
strain Mr.. Foster from acting as Com
missioner.
In view of the action on the part of Mr..
Foster, which was certainly a surprise to
the Republican State Central Committee
and perhaps unexpected by the Mayor it
is hardly probable that another appoint
ment will be made by Mayor Sutro until
the points in controversy are settled in the

to the Waldeck Sanitarium, on Eddy
street. Last evening an operation was
performed, with but little hope OF saving
his life.
Barr is about IS years of age and un-
married. He held the position of special
officer until about three months ago, when
he, among others, had their stars taken
from them by orders of Chief Crowley, be-
cause they made an improper use of the
privilege. 1t was Barr who conducted the
Rev. DR.. Filben and others through the
''tenderloin district" which led to pre-
sentiments being made by the Grand Jury
against owners of houses used for immoral
purposes, the result of which is still pend
ing before the Supreme Court.

The system of practicing medicine as inaugu-
rated by the Copeland Medical Institute was
not intended to be a money-making scheme,
but for the purpose of enabling people of small
means to obtain the same treatment that rich
people pay large sums of money for. These
physicians know that they can cure diseases
that strike at nine-tenths of our people, and
they know that by advertising this fact and
treating patients on a grand scale they can
afford to charge low fee to cover cost of serv-
ices and medicines-$5 a month-to all. In
these hard times such fee commends itself to
every one needing medical treatment, and when
the ability of the physicians is vouched for
every weekly citizens OF high standing and un-
impeachable veracity, who desire Others should
know what can be done for them, il would seem
that the man or woman who seeks medical at
tention is wasting time and money in not going
to the Copeland Medical Institute at once

In no one thing have Drs. Copeland, Neal and

Formerly the operation was attended with
much pain and loss OF blood. By the operation
of these specialists it is comparatively painless
and bloodless and withal permanent.

Charley Quinn bids fair to make himself as
unpopular as did Riley Grammar by bidding up
horses because they do not win every time he
backs them. After Crwford had won the third
race yesterday, entered to be sold for 800, the
Eastern man boosted him $500. The horse
opened at and receded to 20, the stable not
having dollar on him. The last time Craw-
ford started he finished fourth in drive with
many more pounds weight up, in a five and
half fprlongs run, in l :0S. Surely this is not
inconsistent running.

It Ran Once "A Month between Londo

It Ran Once Month between London
and Edinburgh.
The first stage coach between the
two capitals, London and Edinburgh,
appears to have been started in 1855.
1t ran once fortnight, and the fare
was "a. The time taken 10 the journey
is not accurately known; but between
York aud London it was four days
This lavish system Of communication
was not, however. kept up, As, in 1863,
the coach ran between London and
Edinburgh once IA month only, taking a
fortnight, if the weather was favorable,
to the journey.
In the days Of stage coaches, people
sometimes dubbed together and hired
O post chaise for their journey, as being

advertisements to the effect that per-
