TROUBLE AT THE TERRACE.
Proprietor whyts and Guest Hubble En-
Raps in Q Lively Garue Of Fistisuffs.

proorietor Whyts and Guest Hubble En-
gage In Lively Game Of Fistisuffs.
The Terrace was the scene OF lively
fsticufr encounter yesterday morning
between the proprietor. w. IL. Whyte.
and one Of his guests. c. J. Hubble. OF
Virginia, an agent for an electric lamp
house.
Mr.. whyte was badly disfigured in
the ARRAY. and Mr.. Hubble would have
to invent some very plausible story to
convince anyone conversant with the
delinea tions of his countenance that he
had not been into a punching anair.
Mr.. Whyte. having received decidedly
the worst Of 1t. had his guest arrested
and held to bail for his appearance at
court to answer the charge Of assault
and battery with intent to. kill. The
warrant was procured from Alderman
Butterman. of the Tenth ward, and
bail was entered before Alderman Mil
lar.
There are two versions Of the affatr,
Of course, and both Of them have un-
usual and racy features. Mr.. Hubble
and hishnvalid wife and little daughter

attendant, who Is O negress. that came
with them from Virginia. not being able
to secure accommodations at the Ter
race. boards and lodges in down town
boarding house. According to Mr..
Hubhl1s story. Proprietor Whyte init
mated that the negro servant who did
the ordering for her mistress took occa-
sion to secure meals for herself.
Mr.. Whyte. SO the story OF Mr.. Hub.
BILE goes. said that he didn't intend to
board the servant when the terms were
made for the family. and that "your
whole family are blanked hogs. any
how" accompanying the words with
menacing gesture.
Mr.. Hubble. at -this insult, knocked
the proprietor down and when he arose
a fight ensued.
Another allegation is that Mr.. Whyte
discovered his guest surreptiously i'm
bibing from the buffet.
Mr.. Hubble is 60 years Of age and has
gray hair, mustache and imperial. Dur
ing the war he commanded gunboat
on the mississippi and was wounded in
one Of the many engagements in which
he figured.

the best assurances Of success and the
confidence Of the public that they will
carry out their intended programme.
The races this year are to be one a nd a :
half miles long-that IL. every race will
start on q line opposite the depot, go
down the lake three-fourths mile and
turning floating buoys come back to the

ALMOST ANOTHER MURDER
Serious Stabbina Affray Ii aNest

HUMAN BUTCnERY WAS TRIED
Religious Discussi0a and Tee MusA Beer
Caused the Fisht-0as Maa slashsd

Religion and beer caused q serious

loon Of Charles Kennick. on Swetiand
street. and ~ result William He'll
ring 10 lying weak from loss OF blood
at his home on Bromley avenue; Will
lam Blume. Of Decker's court. and 6el-
den PAUL. are gashed about the body.
and the man who did the crime. John
NJ. Watkins. is confined In the Jackson
street station house.
PAUL. Blume and Hellring were seat
ed In the second parlOr Of the hotel,
which Is Of the ordinary type. The
three were arguing on religion. Hell
ring Is a Catholic and the other two Of
the Protestant faith. The argument
grew warm and at an unlucky moment
Watkins came In and pushed himself
into the discussion. He was under
the influence Of liquor and the two
PrOtestants began to attack him with
their tongues.
Watkins is an infidel and Of an I'm
partial mood on religious topics. hence
he defended the position Of the CathO-
lie. As the two men were talking at
once, Watkins turned and said. lone
hog at time
Watkins First Assaulted.
At this both jumped on him and q
fight began. Watkins claims that In
the scuffle he. In self-defense. used his
knife. The hotel proprietor said that
Watkins left the place and came back,
and this second time he held his hand
In his pocket, and upon a renewal Of
hostilities Watkins did the stabbing.
Hellring was wounded the worst
Three gashes. one a terrible cut into
his body. one In right side. another on
the right leg and the most serious one
on the left thigh. This last wound is
about one foot in length, reaching In a
slanting position, and Is about two
inches in depth at the central point.
DR.. Beckwith was called and stitched
the wounds to the number Of over half
hundred threads in the one great cut
The other two men did not need doc
tor. .. ....
Watkins Immediately fed after the
affair, and was captured by Officers
Matthews and Hetsleroth at his Brom-
ley avenue home. He had no weapon
upon his person when searched, but
made suspicious movement as II to
escape. but was intercepted by
Matthews. With what instrument he
did the deed Is unknown.
Story Of the Prisoner.
A Tribune reporter visited him in his
cell and found that the Watkins story
generally conlncided with that Of the
other men. In an indirect way he d.
vulged that the weapon was not q
razor. but the proportions Of the cash
show that very sharp instrument did
the cutting.
Hundreds Of people con9regated at
the soene Of the affray. but admittance
to the saloon was denied to all except
medical men. assistants and reporters.
Hellring is a miner in Capouse COL
lisry. Is Of rugged build and has fami-
ly. Thomas Is also a parent. and ID
known as peaceable man. He Is very
reticent In regard to his act. but lays
all blame on beer and It's influences.
The doctors say Helling's wound Is
not fatal.

ssrausou TurkieA Da,hs,

The enterprise Of n. J. Purcell in the e.
tablishment Of new Turkish bath rooms At
COS Linden street II evidently appreciated
BY the public. judging from increased pat
ronage that has been accorded the enter
prise. Scrantonians generally appreciate
the fact that Mr.. Purcelrs apartments are
the finest In the country outside Of New
York city and readily take advantage of
its benefts. Mr.. Purcell now sells twelve
summer bath tickets for 3. These tickets
entitle one to the regular rub down and
plunge bath. which Ii the most refreshing
during the heated days Of summer. Tues
day Of each week has been reserved as
ladies' day. when the baths are In charge
Of experienced women attendants and
masseurs. and no gentlemen are admitted.
BY strict attention to wants Of patrons
and frst-class service Mr.. Purcell has
made the Scranton Turkish bath the most
popular a. well AZ most elegant In the
state. .'

FEDERATION OF LABOR
Matters Discussed at the Weekly Meeting
Last Night.
Troubles in Process of Settlement
Regulations-Labor Day Parade.

At the weekly meeting of the Federation
of Labor last night President McHugh was
in the chair. and thirty-two organizations
were represented.
The contract committee reported that
they have seen all the directors of the
company which is to build the new brew
cry at Rosslyn, at the south end of the
Aqueduct bridge, and have secured a prom
Use from each that he will do all in his
power to have a clause inserted in the
specifications when the contracts are given
out that none but union labor shall be en-
ployed on the building.
AS announced in The Star. the Protective
Street Railway Union reported its COM
plants against the lexington and Soldiers
Home railway, Belt line and other rail-
ways controlled by the lexington company,
and the action Of the union was indorsed
by the Federation. 1t was announced that
the Labor day conference will have another
meeting Sunday next at Typographical
Temple, and all interested were invited to
attend.
The Federation concluded rot to have a
float in the Labor day parade, as only the
officers of the Federation will parade with
the organization, the delegates going, IT Is
expected, with their respective organiza-
tions.
The committee appointed 70 see Mr.. H. j..
Crawford in reference to paving matters re-
ported that they had done SO, and they had
also seen his superintendent. at whose door
was laid the blame for employing non union
labor and Mr.. Crawford agreed to submit
a proposition to the Cement Workers Union
as a basis of settlement. He has not, how
ever, yet done so, and when he does the
matter will be brought before the Federal
ton,
The committee appointed to adjust va
rious matters of disagreement with Mr.. Jas.
L: Herman. the theater proprietor, reported
that they had received a communication
from Mr.. Herman in reply to a letter sent
the latter, who resides in Baltimore, stat
ing that he would meet the committee
Thursday
The legislative committee was instructed
to again see the District Commissioners
and ask them to insert in the new building
regulations which they are preparing a
rule governing the erection of scaffolds. and
the flooring of iron joists during the con-
struction of buildings, in order to make
the buildings more secure for the protec-
ton of tn, lives of employees. The subject
was brought to the attention Of the Com
missioners some time ago; and, as the Com
missioners are now revising the building
regulations. it was deemed an appropriate
time to again call their attention to the
matter.
The delegates from the Theatrical Stage
Alliance requested the contract committee to
call on Mr. Albaugh and ask that only
union labor be employed in the new La
fayette Square Theater.
