Robert Craig Dealt a Fatal BLOW by
Charles Stewart.
PIrCHFoRK AND BASEBALL BAT.
The Two Men Had Trouble, and the
Negro, I'm SeIf-Defence, He Claims,
Struck the Lfght-Weight What
Proved a Deadly blow.

A tragedy was enacted at the EXPOSE
tion-Grounds early yesterday. Charles
Stewart, a u-year-old negro struck Ro-
bert Craig. a young white man. on the
head with a baseball bat, fracturing his
skull. Craig was taken 10 the alrnshouse.
where he died at 230 o'clock in the after
noon.
Both men have been employed as sta
blemen by Mr.. Robert Engelking, the
well-known horsemen. who has his stables
at the grounds. Stewart has been employ
ed there about month. Craig came there
last week. According to Stewart. the
newcomer had been imposing upon the
other men ever since he entered Mr.. En-
gelking's service. He seemed to be VI
cious. and frequently quarrelled with his
felow-workmen. Stewart also says that
few days ago Craig threatened his life.
Yesterday morning between and
o'clock Craig and Stewart got into an al
tercation over the jockeying Of a couple
of horses Craig, Stewart says. started to-
wards him with a pitchfork. The negro
had small baseball bat in his hand, and
struck at Craig. He hit the prongs of
the fork. knocking off two out of three
With one-pronged weapon Craig ad-
vanced on Stewart. and the latter hit the
former over the head a terrible blow,
fracturing his skull. Craig fell uncon-
scious. and later was taken away n
the ambulance.
Stewart made no effort to get away. and
was arrested by the county authorities
and lodged in the county jail. Stewart
was told by Dispatch man that the VIC
tim OF his blow was dead. He did not
seem 10 be frightened by the information.
His only remark was. IF I hadn't killed
him he would have killed me-"
Coroner Lcftwich was notified OF Craig's
death last night. He will hold an inquest
to-day.
Papers on Craig state that he Is the
lightweight champion OF America, and
that his home Is in New York.
The county officers have the pitchfork
and baseball bat.

J. Selwyn TAFT, in Engineering Magazine
The circulation of a country resembles
in every detail the circulation OF the hui
man body. man may have a splendid
frame work, overaid with such a network
of muscles as only a Samson could boast
Of His vital force may be in proportion
and altogether the man may be perfect
in all his parts. You may break the mans
limbs, you may mangle that superb body
until every movement is circulating
agony; and yet although the man is bad
~ injured ana must be confined to a hos
pital, he is the same living force that he
ever was, and will, in very short time
be as strong nearly strong, as be-
fore the accident. But take that man in
the pride of his strength, and inject into
his veins some liquid which will impair or
degrade his circulation, and you at once
prostrate him and make him as helpless as
an infant worse off, in reality than If he
were o feeble dwarf. And the case is near
~ similar where the country's circulation
has been tempered with. Macauay with
his inmitable PEN sketches a wonderful
picture of the results of the debasement
of the coinage in England in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. He shows as
no other man could that, in point of the
harassment and real misery which that
debasement caused, it was a hundred
times more hurtful than the worst of
wars, and that its effect upon commerce
was that of a blight under which nothing
could prosper.
