tini-The Cause OF tho Quarrel MT Known.
Four Italian laborcrs. nttircd in holiday
clothes, walked out of one of tho tcncmcnts In
Baxter street at dusk yesterday. and strolled 10
the corner of Leonard street, where they stopped
TO talk. Behind tho men walked a boy, who
stood n few feet away listening TO all that wns
said. but not Joining II the CONVEX alton.
Al, OF the men had been drinking, and chat
that had begun in friendship soon developed
into n quarrel.
What caused the change in the mems behavior
is n mystery. but one of the watchmcn in Leonard
street was attracted by their loud words and
watched them. He saw ono OF the men grasp
another by the coat and shake him. Another
punched tho man on whom the attack had been
made, and then tho victim Of the assault broke
away and ran toward Centre street.
AS he ran, one OF the otlc- mon put nfter him
rapidly. Tho two others followed more slowly,
and the boy ratified along in the rear. AS the
two mon passed a Younger on Leonard street
one said to tho other:
oh, let him CO."
y Tho two slackcncd their pace and walked
still moro slowly. Tho bog Joined them. By
this time tho fleeing man had reached Centre
street, where his pursucr caught up to him and
knocked him down. As he feil. 10 the pavement
his assailant struck and kicked him.
Policemen Brady. IIclbrig. and Freary. OF the
Elizabeth street station. who were near by. ran
up to stop the fight. Rrady and Eelbrig picked
up the PROSTATE man and carried him 10 a lamp
/ post. Nv the light they col!d see that his nh.
doinen had been cut open. The policemen saw,
too. that the man was dying, and they sup
ported him while Frcary. who had arrested the
other man. whose coat was bloodstaincd, brought
his prisoner up.

"WhOa ar you + asked The policeman.
II I'm Natalie Brugnio." said the dying man.
"Why did you light Was 1t women or
cards T. was the next question.
Brugnio was TOO weak to answer. He tried TO
speak. hut could not. When tho ambulance that
had been called from The Hudson Street Hospital
reached the corner he was unconscious, and he
died within the hour.
Caraboni said he did not strike BruRnio. The
two mon who had been in the original quarrel
ran away. The boy was found later at Cara

He said that a thin. little. old man stabbed Brug.

Mr.. Croker drove out again and they said they

Mr.. Sheehnn spent the afternoon on tho porch

IS CHATTANOOGA IN GEORGIAq
Ono OF the CitS's Oldest Citizens Thinks II IL.
and Has Records TO Prove Il.


CHATTANOOGA. Sept. lo.-Ts Chattanooga in
Georgia, is now a much mooted question. Col.
Tomlinson Fort. ono OF the city's Oldest and
best known citizens, is of the opinion that
this city is on Georgia soil. Col. Fort
bases his Judgment on some old records
he possesses. From these it seems that Charles
the first charter of what was then called Caro-
lima. The restoration took place in 1856, and
this charter was granted in 1873. Subsequent
" the territory was subdividcd into North
and South Carolina, and tho limo of 35 de-
grees OF north latitude was made the boundary
line. June 9. Z George II. granted a charter
for establishing a colony OF Georgia of all those
lands. countries. and territories situated in
thnt part OF South Carolina which lies
from n northern stream OF a river, there
commonly called tho Savannah, all along
the seacoast to the south ward unto the most
southern branch OF Il certain other great water
or river called the Althamaha, and westward
from the heads OF the said rivers respectively.
in direct lines to the south seas. and all lands
lying within said boundary.
An examination of any map OF Georgia and
South Carolina will show that the most north
ern stream OF a river there commonly called tho
Savannah. and the heads or tho said river, re-
spectively. in direct line to the south seas. refers
to the Eowee River. which rises in a spring
located about twelve miles north of tho
85th degree line OF orth latitude, and that n
line due west from hat spring to the south
seas. which has been construed to mean the
Mississippi River. would causa to be located in
Georgia. and not in Tennessee. a strip OF Ten
nessee twelve miles wide on its southern border,
and a strip OF North Carolina OF the same width.
When the line WAS originally surveyed it is said
that the surveyors by mistake adopted the line
Of IS degrees as the line between Georgia and
North Carolina which has since become the line
SEQ part OF il, and between Georgia and North
Carolina in the North Carolina part OF 1t.

MRS. DOMLNIS'S NEW PLAN.
she viii Step Aside and Let Her Niece. kniu-
lani. Tske tho Hawaiian Throne.

inni, TBke tho HANntiAn HnrOne.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 12.-It has become
known that Liliuokalani has practically aban-
doncd all hope OF being reinstated on the Ha-
waiian throne. but she has not abandoned all
hope Of seeing monarchy in Hawaii reestablished.
THE Princess kaiulani, niece Of the Queen,
will arrive from England within a few weeks"
said Col. MacFarlane to-day. land her visit
will probably result in some amicable under
standing between herself and the Queen, where
by the proposed annexation OF the Islands may
be successfully opposed and Princess kaiulani
placed upon the throne. Blaming the Queen
for the overthrow of the monarchy. the best of
feeling does not exist between the Princess and
her aunt.
1T IL likely. however. that these diffc ences
will be healed when the Princess and the Queen
meet. and that they will in all probability Join
forces in opposing the annexation OF the islands.
The Princess, with the backing of her guardian.
T. II. Davies. is in n positi II to engage the best
when the annexation treaty comes be ere Con
gress for approval, and this she will probably do.
The situation as it now stands is something
like this: There is no certainty that the islands
will be annexed, and. should annexation fail. it
Is not altogether improbable that the republic
the statements OF those who arc at tho head OF
the GovernmerU. for the sole purpose OF bring
ing about the annexation of the islands to the
United States. will agree to a modified mon
archy with Princess kaiulani on the throne. The
Queen will be provided for so that she may re-
position among her people. This is the plan
that will be agreed upon by the Queen and the
Princess. and may be brought to realization II
annexation is defeated"

BRKAN,s DESPERATE FIGHT.
Nebraska Pops Dissatisfied with Fusion want
n Separate Ticket.

OMAHA, Ncb., Sept. 1.-the campaign in
Nebraska has resulted in some very extraordi.
nary political conditions. The silveritos are
making greater efforts to capture the State than
last year, and meetings are being held all over
the State almost nightly by silver orators.
still, the Populists have become dissatisfied
and are arranging to put a separate ticket
in the field. The Middle. of. the. Road element
will meet here on Wednesday to perfect this
plan. The Populists were outgeneralled in tho
recent triangular convention. when n Democrat
was placed at the head of the State ticket, and
the rank and file have rcpudiated the conven.
tons choice.
1t is said that Mr.. Bryan has offered in the In.
tercst Of harmony in the silver ranks to have
the present nominee of the fusion forces retire
In the interest of 4 Populist, but the silver leader
cannot get the Democratic Central Committee
to agree to this. AS the Populists cast two-thirds
more votes in the last election than the Demo-
Gratis. their bolt will destroy tho strength OF
Bryan's forces. To combat this bolt, Mr.. Bryan
has, arranged to have Senators Allen and
Teller. Gen. Weaver. Towne, Simpson. Cyclone
Davis, and other silver speakers tour the state
silver men stirred up and prevent the Populists
from putting up a separate ticket. They arc
being urged to stand together, as this is really a
great national battle, and means the life or
