Inconveniences of Ingenuity.

An ingenious woman of durango, who
is haunted by fear that her clothing
may some time catch fire, has invented a
device whereby she hopes to secure pro-
lection. By the mere pulling of a string
every fastening in her garments is re-
leased and they fall from her. 1t is to
be hoped that Dave Day will not insist
on yelling fire" the next time he hap
pens to meet the lady on the street.

America, sixteen to one clubs have not

Sherman.
London, Oct. I4-The afternoon
papers today take the same views of
Secretary Sherman's latest dispatch to
the Marquis of Salisbury on the sealing
conference question as expressed by the
morning papers. The St. James Gazette
says:
at will be relief if this transatlantic
Pelonius is restricted in the future to
playing the tool in his own home and the
foreign affairs of his own country are
transferred into more capable hands.
But we need not count on this too con
fidently. We, ourselves, allowed an
elderly statesman to play tricks in the
national name with interests for many a
long year"
The St. James Gazette taunts Mr..
Herbert Gladstone with copying Secre.

terday evening in which Mr.. Gladstone
said that the Venezuelan question would
not have been peaceably settled if there
had been no United States concerned
adding that in the latter case our iron.
clads would have made short work oi
the Venezuelan question. But the
United States appeared on the scene ano
the wiles of arbitration became obviously

HAVE GOT ENOUGH,
Spain is Willing to Gently Relax Her Hold
Upon Cuba.

New York. Oct. I5-The Herald prints
a long article today on the Cuban ques-
ton in which it claims that it has come
into possession of important facts tend
ing to show that Spain will eventually
grant freedom to Cuba upon the pay
'ment of an indemnity of sI5o,ooo,ooo.
The information comes from banking
and diplomatic circles. Spain would
hold on but her desperate financial con-
dltions has led her to recognize the in
evitable. After season of delay, it is
definitely decided to yield to public
opinion, and grant to Cuba all that is de-
manded. The opinion in the United
States has much to do with the decision.

JUDGE GABBERT ENDORSED.

The Democratic Central Committee Ac-
cepts Gordon's Resignation.
As stated in these columns yesterday,
John A. Gordon has resigned from the
Democratic ticket as candidate for Judge
of the supreme court. This action was
taken yesterday and the Democratic
central committee met and accepted the
resignation.
The letter of Judge Gordon to the COM
| mittee was in substance as follows. He
states that when rendered the nomination
| of the Democratic convention at Denver,
he had accepted 1t believing it to be for
the best interests of the party that a
Democrat should be the nominee of the
Democratic party. He stated that he
was not at the convention and had not
sought the office, but when rendered the
nomination had deemed it best to accept
it, because in his opinion the expression
of Senator Teller that the only hope for
the restoration ol silver to the position it
occupied prior to 1873 as money coin
of the nation, is IN the Democratic party"
is sound one.
He continued that on account of the
turn of affairs in the various counties, he
had concluded that his resignation would
best conserve the interests of the party,
as the Democratic is the only logical
party to which the silver forces can unite.
The committee accepted the resigna-
ton and after due deliberaton placed in
nomination Judge Gabbert in his stead.

Shortly after nine O'Clock last night
Sheriff Richards got word through a
Register reporter, of lively fight
which took place earlier in the even
ing, near the Gilchrist coal mines,
about mile north of the city. Sheriff
Richards Immediately notified his chief
deputy John w. kindelberger, and
they drove up in two rigs, finding the
location of the trouble after consider
able difficulty.
The men who were engaged in the
fight are all miners employed at the
Gilchrist bank. They were John and
Tom Duffy, father and son; and Null
and Bill McMasters, brothers All had
probably been drinking during the
day. The two families live in COM
pany houses adjoining each ether. AS
matter of course, the stories differ,
but there is probably very little doubt
that the McMasters boys were the
aggressors.
The Duffy side of the trouble is that
Tom had been informed that the Nc
Masters brothers were laying 70,
him" with the intention of doing him
up" He took bucket up after some
water and was assaulted by the Nc
Masters boys. He called for help, and
his father responded. Duffy senior
grappled with Null McMasters, VINO
sunk his teeth into Duffy's cheek, cut
ting out large piece of 1t, and max
ing an ugly locking wound on the
right side of the face.
Tom Duffy came to the rescue of his
father, and during the general fight
which ensued, all the windows in the
McMasters house were broken, and the
door almost taken from its hinges.
John Duffy went to neightor, and
asked him to notify the authorities.
The neighbor went down to The water
Gated with Capt. Bennett.
The McMasters boys caught sight Of
the Sheriff before he reachsl the
house, and ran out through the back
door. They were in their bare teet
Duffy saw them running up the hili-
side, and notified the officers. Sheriff
Richards called to the men to stop. hut
the rustling Of the bushes was evidence
that they paid no attention to tie
warning. Several shots were sent after
them, and they were followed up the
hillside, but the search was abandoned
on account of the darkness. The
Sheriff and his party returned 10 the
city. Duffy stated that he will come
down town to-day, and swear out r1ar-
rants for the McMasters brothers.
On the return trip, the Sheriff met a
man in the road, and stopped him.
He was questioned, and said he had
been to Martins Ferry. Upon tuither
questioning, he stated that he found a
man lying in a hollow, who threatened
to assault him, but he persuaded the
man not to do so. He then wen. mp
to Duffy's house, knocked at the door,
and Tom Duffy came out and knocked
him down. He added thai he would
swear out warrant for Duffy to-day.
Altogether there may be lively time
in some justice shop or shops. before
the disturbance of the peace and dig
nifty of the community around Gill
christ's mines is punished

The Republicans of Martins Ferry held

a speech in the Welsh tongue. In the
course of his speech he is alleged 10 have
become very abusive. He was particular
ly severe in his attack on Secretary Lewis
of the Ohio miners, and mis- accusations
were resented by the audience. He refer
red to Mr.. Lewis attack upon Hanna and
denounced Lewis in scathing terms. 1t
was not long until there was q hostile
demonstration in the hall, directed against
the speaker, and there were angry words,
but no serious trouble
The meeting did not make any votes for
the Republican ticket. but Democrats con-
fdently expect it to have the opposite eff
feet. Weishmen. Independent of party af-
siiiation. denounce Evans for his abuse of
Mr.. Nevis. and there may be further
trouble concerning the matter.
