RAN AGAINST A KNIFE.
Six White TOughs Attack o COlOrcd Man
and Two Arc Stabbed to Death-Two
Wounded,


Philadelphia, March S.-During
fight late last night at Twenty-third
and Lombard streets George Queen,
colored. aged 20 years, stabbed and
killed John O'Brien. fatally cut Joseph
Sweeney and quite seriously wounded
Thomas Reaney and Charles Fisher
All Queens victims We're white men.
The white men, from what can be
learned OF the circumstances which led
up To the fight, were in Il large measure
10 blame for the trouble.
Earlier in the evening they had taunt-
ed Queen as he passed them on the
street, and II little later they became
involved in IL quarrel with another col
ored man and chased him for some
distance to beat him. After his first
encounter with the whites, Queen re-
turned home and armed himself with Il
large butcher knife and returned To the
street. An eye witness says that TN"
white men assaulted Queen. and that
he used the knife against crowd Of
SIX assailants.
Whether Queen was assaulted or
whether he made the attack with the
knife will probably not develop until
the coroner's inquest. The result. how
ever, was the almost instant killing of
O'Brien. the fatal wounding OF
Sweeney, and the cutting of the other
two men by the negro. Queen made
no attempt to escape after the fight.
and was arrested and locked up. This
morning he was committed to Jail with

taken at the hospital. Sweeney says he
had nothing to do with the fight. and
was attracted to the scene by the strug-

assault upon him was entirely unpro-
voked. Fisher made similar state

The democrats are growing loudly
over the result of the election in Ar
kansas, that state having been carried
by them by large majority, exceeding,
possibly, $4,000. That the state is
intensity democratic, everybody knows,
but why the result of the recent election
should be regarded as having any i'm
portsnt political significance. when
viewed from the standpoint of reason,
after a consideration of ell the sur
rounding facts, is difficult to determine.
Chairman Cooper, of the republican
state committee, who may be regarded
as good authority in this direction, says
that, Notwithstanding the fact that the
election law was openly violated in
more than twenty counties, by refusal
to appoint republican upon the cleo
tion boards, with the evident purpose
of fraud. which action resulted in loss
to the republicans of thousands Of votes,
that the vote for the republican ca anji-
date for governor was increased so per
cent over his vote in 1894. He further
says that the silver question has not
increased the democratic vote or de-
decreased the republican vote in the
state.

A large number Of the warmest silver
advocates that spearfsh ever had and
who were two.thirds inclined to support
Bryan when he was first nominated,
have swung back into line and are going
to cast a shower Of ballots for Mckinley,
protection and better times when elec-
ton day comes. They still profess the
deepest faith in the cause Of silver, but
they could not reconcile the calamocratic
policy of Bryan and his cohorts with
their own wholesome ideals of an
honest government, and they have con-
cluded that they cannot afford to aban-
don the twenty-four perfectly sound
planks of the republican platform for
the sake Of the only plank Of the Chicago
platform that they can stomach, and
then have TO ride with lot Of upstarts
who would turn this government of ours
topsy-turvy if given chance.-Spear-
fish Register.
