MAY BE A MURDER.
A Fight Among OOlorsd Women, With Prob
ably Fatal Results.

dOly raLal hesulIS.
Ella Hall, colored, is lying in dy-
ing condition, at her home in this city,
with a knife-wound piercing her
lungs. Sarah Howard, Mollie Pres
ton and Mamie Cooper, well-known
women of the coIored Tenderloin dis
trict' are in jail, with charges of as
sault with intent to murder against
them.
The row in which the Hall woman
was so seriously injured occurred
Thursday night, at the colored Odd
Fellows hall, on Gloucester street.
There was colored dance and "beer-
drinking" ia progress, and nearly all
the colored bad characters of the city
were present. A fight started be-
tween Sarah Howard and Ella Hall,
and the latter drew knife and gave
the Howard woman a vicious slash
across the back. 1t proved to be a
mere scratch, but it imflamed Sarah
and her friends to a pitch of great ex-
citement, She, with Mollie Preston
and Mamie Cooper, attacked the as.
sailant, and, during the melee, the
Howard woman drew a razor, and
carved Ella Hall to an elegant suffi-
ciency." There was a general yell,
and the friends of the injured woman
bore her out of the hall. A physician
was summoned, and he pronounced
that the Hall woman was stabbed
through the lungs, and would die.
The police raided the hall, and ar
rested the three women named above,
and they are now in Jail, awaiting the
result of Ella Halls injuries,
The woman's physician said last
night that her recovery was almost
impossible, and the cutting is very
apt to develop into murder case.
This sorape calls attention to the
fact that citizens living in the vicln-
ity of the colored Odd Fellows hall
haYe been complaining for some time
of the riotous entertainments which
have been given there almost nightly.
The disorder frequently continues un-
til after midnight, and sleep is almost
impossible to the neighbors. 1t would
be well for the police to keep watch
full eye on the proceedings at these en-
tertalnments. in the interest of those
people who are unfortunate enough
to live within earshot of the hall.

CALL IT INHUMAN.
Vicksburg, Miss, Sept. 1.-THE fol-
lowing resolution was passed by the
board of health of this city last night
Resolved, That we most emphati-
cally condemn the action of the Merid-
ian authorities in their utter disregard
of the dictates of humanity in refusing
to allow Alabama and Vicksburg
trains to pass through that city, these
trains taking women and children
seeking refuge from danger which
menaces them here. This action de-
prives the stricken town of Edwards
and other points along the road from
obtaining supplies of ice, medicines
and other articles necessary to their
comfort. We respectfully ask the gov
ernor of the state TO call out the ma.
tional guard and suppress such lawless
and lnhuman demonstrations"
WHICH IS IT?

Harris. of Vicksburg, arrived here this
morning and took charge of the Cam
eron case. A careful diagnosis shows
symptoms of yello v fever and dengue.

remarkably light case.

cables from Liverpool, which seemed
to ignore our decline of yesterday.

The impression seemed to prevail
among the big speculatOrs that the

to it after the opening, and with a
general bearish feeling In the pit,

CoLoRED MEN CAUSE TROUBLE.

Boston, November 27.-In a row early
this morning on board the steamer City
OF Bangor, lying at Fosters wharf, Geo.
Walter, 20 years old, attempted to shoot
Robert Dupree, 25, and it was by the mar
rowest chance that the latter escaped
with his life.
The revolver was held SO close to Du-
pree's body that his clothing was burned,
but the chamber of the weapon failed to
turn sufficiently to allow the bullet to
pass entire through the barrel, and it
split in two. It had not sufficient force
to penetrate the clothing and one half of
the ball was found embedded in Dupree's
coat, the other half being missing. Only
flesh wound was made, that being
caused by the burning of powder. Wal.
ter was locked up, together with two
witnesses. All the parties are oolored
employees on the boat, and as they will saw
but little, the cause of the trouble can
not be asoertained.
