TWO BROTHERS, --OHE KNIFE.
FRANK AND WILLIAM HARKINS
CARVE ONE ANOTHER.
Both Are Cut and S1ashed-Quar-
relied About Their
Mother

A serious cutting affray took place at
a barn owned by T. E Clark, at 6l9
Fifteenth street, at a late hour last
night and as a result T. w. Harklns
Is at the Receiving Hospital, literally
covered with stabs and slashes, which
he claims were made by his brother,
w. II. Harlxins.
T.. w. Harkirs, according to his own
story. is a. partner of T. Z. Clark the
contractor, and his brother was en-
ployed by the firm. The cutting, ne
claims, is the outcome of an old'
grudge. Beyond this he said little, ex-
cept that a third party cut him from
behind while his brother was carving
him in front.
When the officers arrived at the scene
of the difficulty w. II. Harhns was
being treated by physician for a stab
he had received in one of his legs. Each
of the two brothers protested that the
other was the aggressor, but neither Of
fered a clear statement of the facts.
City Physician Nichols attended r.
w. Harkins and plastered and sewed up
ten stabs and cuts, more or less Sc
we're. One cash began at the back or
the neck and ended under the chin,
narrowly missing the jugular vein, and
two stabs in the breast and one in the
side proved to be deep and of serious
character Several slashes across the
back were sewed up, and an ugly slash
extended across the chin.
The officers had left w. H. Harkins
in charge of Contractor Clark and the
physician who was attending him, but
We're subsequently ordered to go back
for him, which they did.
I.ATER-CAUSE OF THE AFFRAY.
After w. H. Harkins was taken TO
the hospital he talked more freely to
officer BagIey. He said his brother
Frank, had always treated their
motherharshly, and that he CIV. IL.
Harkins) had taken her part.
Last night, he said, he and his
mother were visiting at the Clark resi-
dence, when his brother, Frank, put in
an appearance. The latter soon started
a quarrel with him concerning their
mother and then assaulted him with a
knife.
After receiving several wounds he
succeeded in throwing his brother,
Frank, to the floor and taking the
knife from him proceeded to do some
carving himself, with the result first
stated
w. H. Harkins has five cuts and
stabs on his person, One is just be-
meath the heart, another on his left leg
and three in the back. None of them
are regarded as dangerous, however.
Each seemed to have aimed at the 9TH
er's heart, for Frank Harlzins has a cut
just over that organ.
officer Bagley says the statement
made by w. H. Harkins was corrobo-
rated by Mr.. Clark, who witnessed the
carving affray

SEVERAL FIRES.
One Destroyed a Dwelling at r and
Twenty-seventh Streets.

There were two fires yesterday and
one last night. All We're small fires
that did not amount to much. One
was in the vicinity of Sixteenth and G
streets, and the other Twentieth and O..
A hole was burned in the roof of the
building at 1109 Eighth street, and a
small structure at 731 c street was
burned.
The fire that occurred shortly before
midnight resulted in the destruction of
a one-story dwelling occupied by a
family named Bellmer on r street, be-
tween Twenty and Twenty
eighth. Bellmer is employed as watch
man at the City Brewery.
Only a small portion of the furniture
was saved.

never drew breath until they were at
least a block away in the open street
Even then they lodged fearfully around

which might be attempted. They

FLYING BULLETS.
Two Residents Were Shot Into
Yesterday.

It looks as if something will have-to be
done to put stop to the promiscuous
shooting that is INDUCED in on the
Fourth of July and New Years Eve.
Since Sunday evening two residences
were penetrated by bullets that would
have killed some of the inmates II
they had happened to be in the way.
How MANY other cases of the KIND oc-
Cured IS not known, but, it would not
be surprising if several such incl
dents happened.
Half-drunken men stagger into the
streets, pull out their guns and blaze
away at such times, utterly regardless
of results. 1t is time SUCH things were
stopped.

ON A DARK-BRowED NIGHT.
His Kiss Was Still on Her Lips
Then Her Husband Killed Him.

"Silencei" the man Kissed.
They entered the cab and dragged the
thing in the bag after them.
Can you not spare me even the
corpse?" the woman asked.
.sSilence!" he hissed, and the syllable
came through his teeth like frozen mo-
lasses through a plugged-up faucet.
''Augustini'
"Augustinr' he repeated, ironically.
''You still have the courage to call me
that?''
She shuddered. The cab rolled on to-
wards East River.
Il warned you,' he went on; many
times 1 warned you what would hap
pen if you persisted in your career
But you scorned me, laughed in my
face. L was only human, madam.
There is the result" He pointed TO the
motionless thing.
Il did love him sol" she moaned. Her
hair hung down her back; in the hurry
and fright she had but partially
dressed herself. She gazed on the bag
horror-stricken.
Dead, deadi"
Yes, dead! Curse you, you love him
yeti" He grabbed her wrist. Now list
you L swore l tasted his kiss still warm
on your lips But you lied to me- You
thought l was a fool when I said / was
going to leave town tonight. When
l returned suddenly an hour ago and
found him with you-Ah, thank heaven,
madam, that you still live! Ha, We
have reached the riveri"
The cab drew up before a pier.
Want some help with it?'' asked the
cabby. He had been we'll paid and un-
derstood his business.
No said the husband, 81 can do il
aone. But keep your eye on the watch
for the police.
The woman fell back on the cushions,
sobbing bitterly. She would not even
have the joy of visiting his grave. And
this, this man, her husband, had killed
him,
The silence was then broken by
splash in the river, then all again be-
came STILL The cabby mounted his
box, and the cab went back west.
Now, madam said the husband,

Following is the clipping referred to
by Mr.. Dunlop:
THE UGANDA OF TO-DAY.
The effect that education and the in
fiuence of the missionaries have had
on this intelligent and powerful people
is almost incredible Only twenty
years ago writing was unknown, and
the bulk of the population were abso-
lutte heather. Now every chief con-
siders it a disgrace not to be able to
read and write, and much of the official
work is carried out by correspondence.
l get letters from my old friends among
the chiefs of Uganda every few months
asking after my welfare. and these let
ters are not only well and clearly writ
ten, but are dated in English
fashion. Much has been said
in dlsparagement of the mission
ary work in Uganda, of the interfer-
ence of the missionaries in politics, and
of the bloodshed which has resulted
from the Christian war; but had these
critics enjoyed my opportunities of see.
ing the immense results of the hard
and unremitting work of these de-
voted men, often in danger, always in
would themselves admit that muck as
we may regret the bitter sectarian dit
ferences that have distracted the coun-
try, the good done far outweighs the
evil. Instead of a savage heather
kingdom, where a mans life was rated
at the price of an OK, and woman
was an article of barter and where
justice went to the biggest bidder, the
Uganda of to-day is a well-ordered
State, steadily improving in the arts
of civilization and culture, where no
man can lose his property or his life
at the arbitrary will of the great or
without a fair and open trial This
alone is no small thing to have
achieved and a large share in it's ac-
complishment is undoubtedly due to
the patient toll of the Christian mis-
sionaries, who have adhered stead
lastly to their self-imposed task
cnrough the stormy times of war, and
through the dark days of persecution.
