The Unexpected Happens.

St. Paul, Minn., June 1.-The demo- crats of Minnesota did a most unexpect- ca thing today by declaring emphatically for gold, when a count of noses last night seemed to indicate that the declaration would be for free silver. The committee on resolutions made two reports. one de- claring for gold and the other for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, the latter be- ing the minority report The 112 delegates from Minneapolis and thirty-six from Duluth voted solidly for silver, but in spite of this the gold men won by vote of 44O to 925. The victory was the signal one for National Committeeman Michael Doran, who has given his attention to the delegates for several weeks

The Fashioned Razor in Play.

TuSkaloOSa Times.
 Elder Williams, a negro preacher, was badly cut and otherwise injured last night by another negro named Nat Brown. Jealousy was the cause of the trouble, Brown claiming that an undue intimacy existed between his wife and Williams. The latter, on the other hand, denies the charge and says he had walk ed home from church with Browns wife, when Brown entered the room where they were and violently assaulted him with knife or razor.
 Williams ran from the room, and, Brown following, struck him on the head with hammer, rendering him uncon- scious. Later Williams regained his senses and went to his home near Zion church. A doctor was summoned and gave attention to the injured mans wounds, which were found quite serious, the worst being a bad cut across the ab- domen. It is thought he will recover.
 Brown was taken in charge by Chief Ball and is now in the city prison.
