TROUBLES IN A COURTROOM
RTodoc County's District Attorney
Stabbed by an Ex-Judge.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30-A spec
ial to the Calf from Reddirg says
that a sensational stabbing ARRAY took
place within the bar of the ModOc Coun-
" court room at Alturas on Wednes-
day.
District Attorney Raker was stabbed
with a pocket knife by ex-Judge Har-
ris, five times before Sheriff Cummings
could separate them.
During the progress Of a trial in the
Superior Court Raker and Harris got
into a wordy alteration, in which there
were mutual insinuations Of immor-
ality. In the midst of the great dis
order which prevailed in the court
room Raker rushed at Harris, striking
out at the latter and staggering him
with a blow on the head Harris then
lunged at Raker with an open pocket
knife, striking Raker five times, inf1ict-
ing a wound at each thrust, cutting his
mouth badly, laying open his cheek ard
inflicting a severe scalp wound. 1t
was at first though the District Atto.-
ney was fatally injured, but it is now
probable he will recover, unless blood
poisoning sets in.
Harris, who was for many years Su-
perior Judge of the county, is out on
bail.

used $50 which was in registered let
ter. The pouch. with other contents,

Inns. He says he accidentally cut a
hole in the pouch, and thinking he would

LAvIGNE-wALCoTT FIGHT.
Opinions Differ as to Whether 1t
Was on the Square.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30.-Much
difference of opinion prevails here con
cerning last nights fight. It is freely
asserted that arrangements had been
made with Walcott by which he was
to lose to Lavigne. although even the
proponents Of this theory admit that
Lavigne was not a party to the alleged
plot From the same source come state
ments that money from Walcott's quar-
ters was placed on Lavigne in large
amounts by those on the inside.
II is claimed that Walcott took all
the punishment offered by Lavigne,
constantly looking for an opportunity
10 go out, and that he made no effort
to sput Lavigne out. Many who had
wagered large amounts on the white boy
are said to have held tickets to win
inside of thirteen rounds.
On the other hand, many sporting men
maintain that the fight was a square
contest, and both pugilists did their
best to win. Eddie Graney, referee at
the fight, is emphatic in his declaration
that the contest was honest and above
board.
AT one pool room alone $4,000
changed hands on the result, most of
it having been placed on Lavigne at
10 TO 61a.

EASTERN GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Opens Quiet at Chicago, but
Closes at an Advance.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30-Wheat was very
quiet for the first hour and a half, and
the fluctuations in that time were quite
immaterial, except that there was a
temporary decline in December in the
first fifteen minutes of 7sc from the
highest point Of the day at the start.
May at the same time varied sc The
first trades in both were at from Il to
12c Improvement over the previous
days closing price. December was
wanted at from 81 to 97Ac and May
from 1875 to 94Ac. December got
quickly down to 963sc, but May did not
go below 937sc.
The Liverpool market was not as
weak as might have been expected,
from the news that was cabled from
there of the heaviness with which the
market wound up yesterday. It closed
sd lower/for the day for the nearer
deliveries, and 3sd lower for May.
The chief reason, however, for the
market here showing the recovery it
did at the start was the publication of
the heavy exports of wheat and flour
to Europe from this side. the weeks
clearances from both coasts being s.,
991 900 bushels, against ), ,532. 600 bush
els the week UGiUfP. Argentine Slllk'pEO
no wheat to Europe this week. A year
ago the shipments from that country
were $4,000 bushels. The receipts here
and in the Northwest were heavier than
those of the year before.
The weather was still discouraging
to-day, and the crowd is ready to take
alarm if it shall be much longer con-
tinued. Their vision is extending be-
yond the time of the Argentine harvest,
and they are contemplating the possi-
bility of failure Of next years Amer
lean whe at crop, very much more Sc
rious affair.
The market recovered in half an hour
from its early weak spell, and ruled
quiet until within thirty minutes of he
close, when it became known that both
France and the Unite d Kingdom had
accepted literally Of cable offers made
from New York. The quantity was
variously stated at from fifty-two to
eighty boat loads. The first named
quantity was we'll authenticated, and
the fact of wheat in New York advanc-
ing 1c per bushel on the curb, after
previously closing 5sc higher for the day
on the regular session, put more life
into the previou.ly sluggish pace of the
advance here, and sent December TO
97B and May to 9514Q933sc, which were
substantially the closing figures.

FIVE MEN PERISH.
FATAL RESULTS OF A FIRE AT
SCRANTON, Pa.
Flames Break Out in the Main
Gangway Of the Slope of Mine,
Cutting Of the Mems Exit.

SCRANTON (Pa.), Oct 30-Five of
the eight men who were last night
caught on the Won Storch slope by fire
in the shaft, perished during the night.
The remaining three escaped from the
Diamond vein by cross heading into an
other gangway, where the air was pure,
and reached the surface.
Following is a list of the dead: Thos.
Hill, foreman of the night shift, mar
ried, and leaves a widow and five chill
dren; Thomas Mcdonald. 1aborer; wild
over with three children John Yam
l<oWski, laborer, married. John Moran,
track layer, single; John j. Farrell.
pumper, single.
The bodies of the five men were
brought to the surface about 10 o'clock.
When the fire broke out in the main
gangway of the slope there were eigh-
teen men and boys in the mine. Ten
made their way to the hosting shaft
and were brought to the surface before
the fire and smoke had cut off their
means Of escape.
When it became known about 1 80
this morning that eight men and boys
were still in the mine, hundreds of citf-
zens fiocked to the mouth of the slope.
Charles Siegler, superintendent of the
mine, and a number of the miners
started down the slope to attempt to
rescue the men. They were driven back,
however, by the smoke.
Then firemen, with a double line of
hose. went into the slope to extinguisn
the flames. They had descended about
2I5 feet, when suddenly the air current
changed. The smoke was forced tow
ard the mouth of the slope, and the
rescuers had to drop the hose and run
for their lives
Councilman Patrick Gordon, who was
a member of the party, when within
twenty-five feet of the opening, sank
exhausted. Several of the men volun-
teered to rescue him, and he was found
unconscious, but recovered later.
About S O'Clock the firemen had sue
ceeded in getting the fire under control.
The rescuing party then entered the
mine, and found the five men dead from
suffocation
The fire broke out about l O'Clock this
morning at a point 300 feet from the
mouth Of the shaft, but the origin is not
known.
