tail came about through the con-
ductor, Q. Tolson, recognizing
the Senator's advancing age and
consequent inirmtties, and en-.
ldeavorlng to render him kindly
assistance. AT the corner Of
Sixth street and Pennsylvania
avenue he signaled a Fourteenth
street car, and, when it came to
g stop, started to board it. The
Senator has passed the allotted
age of three score years and ten,
but is still sprightly, and always.
spurns the insinuation that he
is feeble or needs assistance.
Every one who has seen the
Senator has observed his stumbl.

platform after opening the door.
and, reaching down, caught the
solon under the arm and gave
him friendly lift,
This was in accordance with.
the company's instructions to
assist aged people and, in fact,
was nothing more than common
politeness and good manners.
but the Senator did not take
kindly to it, and falling to accept
theSk kindness in the manner in
which it was intended, his wrath
exploded. According to the
testimony of the passengers. the
Senator's language was anything
but complimentary or expressive
of gratitude.
At his request Tolson was sus-
pended from duty for thirty days,
in spite Of the protest of mutual
friends, who we're indignant at
this act Of injustice.

The 'trocha' to which frequent

Mariel. the northern terminus of

PENNsBoRo. w. VA :, Dec. 1s.
This little town OF Pennsboro
was thrown into greatexcitement
yesterday afternoon at about 4
O'clock over q outing scrape
which may terminate in the death
3 of M. X. Duty q we'll known
Democratic lawyer and politician
who was defeated for circuit
judge at the recent election by
Romeo n. Freer.
The knife was welded by Cad
Collins q we'll known man Of that
place who has been implicated in
several bad cutting scrapes be-
fore.
In the ARRAY yesterday Duty
received cuts ID shoulder. neck.
and abdomen, to the number Of
seven. The deepest and most
I dangerous cnt is in the abdomen
on the left side. It's this injury
thatmay make the unfortunate
affair end ina tragedy.
The scene of the difficultyswas
in Duty s Office and was witness
ed by one person Benz. Thomas.
This witness maintains aisilence
as to what occurred TO bring on
the cutting and therefore the
exact details are not procurable.
The story that is generally be.
lieved is that Collins went to
Duty's Office with Thomas and
that while there they began
Gliding Duty aboutsome woman.
This angered the lawyer and he
ordered Collins out. Collins was
drinking and was ugly. He
probably refused to leave the Of

ed out his knife and the cutting
occurred.
Another reports that Collins
used his knife several times be.
fore Duty struck him with the
poker.
A man named Bee ran in and
separated the fighters.
The Office showed signs that a
desperate battle had taken place.
The furniture was scattered
about topsy-turvey in confusion
and there were blood stains on
the floor from Duty's wounds. 1t
was q struggle of two dangerous
men when aroused to action.
The news of the affair spread
rapidly and soon the whole popu-
lation of the place was gathered
about the scene Of the trouble.
Medical attention was soon
furnished both men who were
badly in need of it. Collins was
pretty badly used up about the
head.
He was arrested.
The knife which was used was
quite a large one and when found
after the scufle apartof the blade
had been broken of. It is not
known whether the,missing piece
is in Duty or not.
AS to Duty's chance OF recov-
cry there is grave doubt, al
though at noon he was some bet

The Greatest Thing in The World.
The keynote to life is love.
They live most who love most.
\ Love'never losesby being test
ed.
Life without love is living
death.
Love never asks for its pay in
advance.
Alllove asks is the privilege
of doing its best.
Love can be misunderstood,
but never over.estimated.
The1man who loves others will
try to make himself lovable.
Love for man is the highest
possible evidence that we love
God.
The fact that enemies are loved
is proof that Christ has been on
earth.
Love never turns back because
it sees a mountain or hears a lion
roar.
Whenever the world comes
face to face with unselfsh love
it has to stop and think.
The strongest man on earth is
the one who knows that he loves.
God with his whole heart. From.
RAMS Horn.

Upon application of J. Harvey White
man and Thomas f. Bayard. Jr.. the
case of Stephen Mitchells administra-
ors vs. Abner II. Woodward, was
brought up for argument. Messrs.
Whiteman and Bayard argued that the
plaintiffs, through their counsel, Col
onel Benjamin Nields, had refused to
comply with the courts order by not
producing the promissory note for
$4,000 on which this action is based.
Colonel Nields argued that the law
provided for the production of all
papers essential as evidence in the
cause, but not as to the cause of action
itself. The promissOry note is the very
issue itself.
The court, however, decided that the
present law requires the production of
all papers that the defendant may
frame his case, and that applies to this
note.
