Cutting ARRAY,

Yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock Mr..
Eli C. Davis, a young man n drives
one of the wagons of the Wilmington
steam laundry, was at Eighth and
Princess streets with his wagon, when
a negro by the name of Sandy Paine
came up and asked him for a cigarette.
Mr.. Davis pulled out his box to give
him a cigarette, but finding only one
left in the box, he told Paine he was
sorry, but that he had only one.
Paine at once told Mr.. Davis he was
a d-n liar. MI. Davis told him he was
another and jumped off the wagon and
made for the insolent scamp. Paine
seized two stones and threw one at
MIR. Davis, but missed him. Before he
could throw the other stone Mr.. Davis
ran up and grappled with him. With
the other stone in his hand, Paine dealt
Mr.. Davis a severe blow on the head,
cutting an ugly cash that bled pro-
fusely. Although the negro was a
larger man than Mr.. Davis, he threw
the rascal down, but soon gave out
from loss of blood and fell in the
street. Paine drew a knife and while
Mr.. Davis was getting up on his feet,
he made a slash at him. cutting his
coat. His assailant made a second at
tempt and stabbed him over the left
kidney. The blade cut a cash an inch
and three-quarters deep, and leaving
his victim almost helpless, Paine ran
away. The police were notified, but
at last accounts, had not captured
Paine. Paine is an eX-penitentiary
convict, and has a bad reputation.
DR.. A. H. Harriss attended Mr.. Davis
and he was removed to his home, 1112
North Sixth street, between Swami
and Nixon streets, where a Messenger
representative saw him last night. He
was in bed, but was resting very we'll
and was chatting with friends.

REPORTS ON THE FLOODS.
Grand Forks, n. D., Deluged-Residences
Destroyed-People Destitute-M Mayor of
Memphis Asks for Tents-CriticaI State
of A fairs in Louisiana.

Washington, April 13.-The only news
from the Hooded districts received at
the war department this morning came
from the upper Missouri section. The
report from the army inspectors eat
Grand Forks, n. D., shows tina the
situation there, as far as the laboring
element is concerned, is quite as a
as it was reported to be yesterday at
MOorhead, Mimi. The telegram is as
follows:
Two hundred families have been
driven from their homes in consequence
of the flood. All the business houses
with n exception, are badly fiooded.
The water is from six to ten feet deer
on the principal streets. Fifty families
comprising 230 souls, are entirely desti-
tute and in need of immediate aid
They have lost everything and are
without means. These people owned
and lived in small dwellings, being
principally labOrers, and their dwell
ings have been destroyed and many of
them are now quartered in public
buildings. Three thousand dollars
perhaps would be sufficient to furnish
them proper shelter after the water
falls. Seven thousand rations will be
sufficient to carry them through the
next thirty days and a be purchased
here at not to exceed 20 cents per ra-
ton. The people cannOt furnish this
assistance, as there is not much wealth
here. Hugh Thompson, county COM
missioner and chairman of the relief
committee, is a proper person to at
tend to the distribution of supplies, as
we'll as Sheltering the destitute, should
the department so desire"
The inspector further suggests that
81, 900 be placed at the disposal of the
relief committee.
The first application for tents for the
IL n y 20 ~ ~11~I~ lr;-a- rr1,. Ln;.
homes by the flood waters, came to the
war department from Memphis today.
A few days ago the Memphis commit
tee thought they could get along with,
out tents, but the recent spell of cool
weather has made it plain that they
will be necessary to prevent suffering.
The army inspector at Memphis tele-
graphed the department today hat tho
mayor of that city had just applied to
him for the loan CT $50 "A" tents
which were badly needed. The mayor
offered to give satisfactory account of
the borrowed property. Secretary AL
ger Immediately telegraphed the de-
pot Quartermaster at st. Louis, the
nearest point where the tents could be
had, to ship the required number, in
charge of an agent, II necessary, to Sc
cure quick delivery.
Just before the close Of office came
the following telegram to Secretary
Alger from Representative Robertson,
of louisiana:
Baton Rouge, La. April IL.
l have just arrived and find the levee
situation in Louisina extremely criti-
cal, with the results Of the struggle
prcblematical. Should a oc-
cur on the Mississippi river in this
state there will be great restitution
among the people and much d~estruc-
ton Of property. I would suggest
therefore, respectfully that a portion OF
the appropriation for relief Of overflow
ed sufferers be reserved by the depart
ment to meet such a contingency"

The Rev. George II. Gutterson. dis
trict secretary for New England, OF the
American Missionary Association, has
received from one OF the corresponding
secretaries. the Rev. a. r. Beard. u. d.
New York. some Sketches from the
South" based on an official visit among
the educational institutions n

can Missionary Association. In his
sketches DR.. Beard says:
Everywhere I find the colored men
and women who have been enlarged in
mind and thought earneslv at work,
uplifting others, uplifting h race.
often in remote places with poo pay
and ~unfayorable conditions. but not
Sinking duty or sacrifices. Ny first
call was at 81 rural school upon a plan
tation. When l asked the principal of
the school, Are the people of the rural
places retragrading, are those who are
still ignorant and illiterate going furth-
er down." his reply was No: the chill
dren even of cabin homes are an ad-
vance on their parents both in intelli-
gence and character. and while you
cannot do very much to change those
who are no longer young. their living
is in some degree improved, because h
children take something from the
schools back to them"

of Marblehead. Mass, the principal in
forms me that the in%fleunce of this nor
NAL school may be. traced in many
parts Of the state. / heard a class of
twenty in pedagogics, all OF whom are
preparing to be teachers. Not only the
teachers in the public schools of Will
mington are in a large degree grad
yates of this school, but the rural COM
munities also depend upon it for
teachers. When / asked, rs the race
as a race really advancing?" he smiled
as If l were too innocent. Most as
s~uredly." Certainly no one can look in
upon our church organization there
without realizing the truth hat the
people have risen"
The colored race is pressing forward.
What is to be its future only He knows
to whom all things are known. The
great majority of the young people who
attend Christian schools and come
under the power of Christian teachers
and Christian character are saved, and
are going out to save others"

FOR ITALIANS.
The President to Recommend an Appro.
priation by Congress to Pay Indemnity
for Three Men Murdered in Louisiana
Last Year.

Washington, April 13.-The president has
decided to recommend to congress an APP
preparation as indemnity for the killing
by a mob of lynchers of three Italian
citizens OF Hahnville, La, August Sth
last. The state department has struggled
in vain for many months to escape the
necessity of assuming responsibility for
the killing of these men, and in the at
tempt it has been aided by the authorities
of the state Of Louisiana with copiouS
reports to establish the assertion that the
Italians were killed, not because they
were Italians. but because they were sus-
pected of having committed a murder,
and also they had lost their Italian ma
tionality by exercising the rights of citi-
Zens in Louisiana. The passages between
Secretary Olney and Baron Fava, the
regarded as excellent manifestations of
the highest diplomatic skill in argument.
When Secretary Olney retired he left the
case as a legacy to the incoming adminis-
traticn. He had taken the ground that
the killed were not Italian subjects, but
the Italian ambassador, by direction of
his government, firmly asserted it's right
to protect the men, and through the evil
dence collected and through the consul
at New Orleans, has SO far established
the soundness of it's contention that when
Secretary Sherman came to take the mat
ter up he was obliged to accept the Italian
contention as proper and to decide to
an allotment for indemnity to
the families of the men.
