BROADSWORD BATTLE.
High Defeated the Champion. Ross,
at Center Market Hall.

The ringing clash of steel against steel
the impatient trample of fiery steeds, AID
the wild enthusiasm of numerous specta,
tors, all combined in giving touch of
the old days OF knighterrantry to the scene
attending the sword play at Center Market
Hall last evening.
Duncan Ross, who has been the ac-
knowledged broa dsword champion for
many years, was compelled TO pass over
his proud title 10 Corporal High Of the
United States Army, who clearly out
pointed his opponent at every stage OF the
contest.
The entertainment was inauguratcd by
a match between Scrgt. A. Davis, L. S.
A, and Lieut. Barber late Of Her Majesty:
Body Guard, English army. Sergt. Davis
was 10 fight on horseback with the broad
sword as his weapon, while Lieut- Barber,
on foot. was to use the bayOnet. That
arrangement was modified by the fracture
of the only available bayouet, so Barber
agreed TO use a broadsword also, though
explaining that he was practically un-
acquainted with that weapon.
Tie sctto was spirited in the extreme,
and during the first few charges Sergt.
mount and the very slippery floor. a
change Of horses put a new face on matters
and Davis began TO score points with
great regularity, finally winning the match
by a score Of II TO 8, amid the enthu-
siastic cheering OF the audience.
After some delay the principal con.
testants Of the evening appeared. From
the first it was seen that the wiry High
had the best of the bout, though Ross
claimed that the slippery floor was more
OF a disadvantage to him because OF his
weight. The mix-up delighted the audience,
and encouraged by the enthusiasm the
swordSmen went at it hot and heavy.
Sergt. High seemed TO have no trouble
in getting under his opponents guard,
scoring point after point, and winning
the bout by the score of IL to Z.
Ross challenged High TO fight again for
a purse Of $500 per side. The challenge
was accepted and the fight will probably
take place here during next week.

CUT HIS MOTHERS THROAT
Richard Stewards MurderOuS
Act While Kissing Her.
STEPFATHER ALSO WOUNDED
Cause OF the Crime a Mystery
Victims Removed TO the Hospital.
The Man Is Not Expected to Live.
Assailant Captured Near Balti-
more and Ohio Deport.

George Perry and his wife Mary, who
live at No. 243S Seventh street northwest,
are lying at Freedman's Hospital at the
point of death from wounds inflicted last
night by Richard Stewart. The latter is
the son Of Mary Perry and lived with
the couple.
The cause of the murderous assault is
wrapped iii mystery. The only witnesses
were those implicated, and the condition
OF the victims last night was such as to
make il impossible for them TO give
full account of the affair. Stewart es-
capped and has not yet been captured.
The first news of the attack was made
known To the police by Sam Payne, who
lives at No 700 Whitney avenue. He was
passing the Perry house and heard the
cry for help. He rushed into the house
and up to the second floor, where he
found the man and woman nearly dead.
BOTH THRoATs CUT.
Policeman Coffin called the patrol and
the victims of the assault We're taken to
Freedrnan's Hospital. 1t was found that
both were suffering from deep cuts on
the left side OF the throat. The husbands
windpipe was severed and he VIII prob
ably die.
Mary Perry, while badly injured, was
able To tell something of the affray. She
said that her son, Richard, intended to
leave the city this morning for Philadel-
pha at an early hour, and not liking TO
awaken her, decided 10 bid her good-by
last night
He came to her room and while kissing
her lashed her with razor. Her hus-
band was in the room at the time, and
as soon as Richard cut her he turned upon
his stepfather and attempted to kill him.
LOOKING FOR THE ASSAILANT.
George Perry. as soon as Stewart had
gone. evidently opened one Of tie front
windows to call for help, for the front
OF the house is streaked with blood from
the second story to the ground.
Every effort is being made by the po-
lice TO capture the would-be matricidc.
The description Of the man has been tele-
graphed TO Baltimore, Alexandra and
other places, and he viii probably be
run down soon.
The motive of the crime was undoubtedly
robbery Ferry was an old pensioner and
had lately drawn his money. The man is
totally blind and his fieLge struggle with
his assailant W as made In the darkness.
LATER.
Richard Stewart was caught at the b.
O. depot by Policeman w. NJ. Hayes
and lodged at No. station. Stewards
statement is that his stepfather was about
TO cut him when he did the stabbing.
