A Desperate Struggle.

Daily Journal, Thursday 10th.
E. D. Clark, Santa Fe conductor,
had desperate struggle with John
Jewell, wiper at the round house, in
the twO-story rOOming house on South
Washington avenue, three doors north
Of Rush's livery barns, last night. In
the fracas CIark's left ear was cut
with a razor and Jewell was consider
ably beaten up.
The fight occurred about | O'Clock,
after Jewell had come home from
drunken CarOusal up town. When
Jewell came home he suspicioned that
Clark had been guilty of criminal
Intimacy with his wife during his
absence and he gathered couple Of
razorS and broke into Clark'S room
and assaulted him. Clark's room ad.
joins that of JEWELS upstairs. The
house is unOccupied except at night.
Some twelve or fifteen railroaders
room there and the entire house and
neigh0OrhOod were aroused by the
noise Of the fight.
Jewell gained entrance to Clark's
room by throwing his weight against
the door and bursting it open. He
entered swearing vengeance against
Clark, who jumped out of bed and
picked up shoe with which to de-
fend himself. Clark threw the shoe
at Jewell, but missed him. He then
clinched his wrists. Jewell had two
razOrs in his hands and was trying to
slash his adversary. JEWELS wife en-
tered the room where the men were
lighting and succeeded in getting one
OF the razOrS away from her husband.
Clark then seized Jewell by the throat
and threw him to the floor. Jewell is
a powerful man and succeeded in
getting to his feet again but Clark
managed to keep him from cutting
him with the razor. In the fight
CLARK threw Jewell 10 the floor three
times, but each time Jewell arose and
renewed the fight. The last time
Clark threw Jewell, he dragged him
into the hall and partly succeeded in
quieting him by striking him 10 the
face aud threatening to throw him
out CT the window. When Jewell got
up he went to his bureau drawer and
secured revolver. Mrs. Jewell got
between the two men and Clark es.

door. 1t could not be locked and he
was forced to stand there and hold It
shut.
Someone had gone after az officer
aud before Jewell could get into
Clsrk's room again City Marshal
Grinstead appeared and placed Jewell
under arrest. Jewell wanted to know
If the officer was going to place him
in the calaboOse and when told that
that was the intention he refused to
go and showed dght to the marshal.
Grinstesd attempted to strike Jewell
with his cane, but the latter took 1t
away from him and bent 1t double.
The marshal then drew his revolver
ano struck at JEWELS head. The
blow landed over JEWELS left eye and
the revolver glanced and flew out OF
the marshal'S hand and went through
a window. The two men had a
short struggle when Jewell was finally

AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY
Many Distinguished Clergymen Of
This City and from a Distance
liyered the Sermon n-Benediction
Pronounced by the New Minister.

With q service or unusual beauty and
solemnity, the Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt
was last evening installed pastor OF All
Souls Unitarian Church. The picturesque
edifice at Fourteenth and l. streets was
brilliantly lighted, and the cheering beams
streamed through the ecclesiastic win
dow, giving Il welcome through the drifting
snow to the arriving guests. They caIne
from every part of Washington and from
other cities, and the large auditorium was
well filled at an early hour.
The assemblage was one OF distinguished
people, AMI it was addressed by men whose
names are familiar in intellectual circles.
The pulpit was banked with palms and
pure white lilies, and in a tall vase to the
right of the desk was magnificent bush Of
pink roses, tied with broad strcamers of
pink satin ribbon. This was the gift OF
Mrs. NJ. l.. Hanson. The choir railing
and the walls and gallery were draped
with ropes of evergreen, and a vase of
deep crimson blossoms marked the angle
of the Choir.

A Venerable Figure.

In the center one of the three high chairs
back of Tie pulpit sat the venerable Rev.
Robert Collyer Of New York. His long,
silvery hair was swept from a massive
brow and his kindly eyes beamed on the
congregation. To his right sat the young
man about to be installed, the Rev. E.
Bradford Leavitt. He is a slender, youth
full figure, blonde in coloring and with
smoothly shaven countenance. He has a
grave dignity of bearing becoming his
cloth. To the left sat the Rev. Rush R
Shippen, the former pastor, who nov
has a charge at Brocton, Mass. The gaze
Of the people divided it's favor between
the ne w and the old shepherd.
Rev. Alexander I. Bowser of Wilmington,
Del, made the invocation, followed by
scriptural reading by Rev. Alexander
Kent. A hymn written by Rev. a d.
Mayo, LII D., Of Washington, was sung
by the congregation, and the Rev. Mr..
Collyer rose to deliver the sermon. The
address was based on the four gospels
and was strikingly analytical and inter-
esting. 1t was delivered with impressive
kindness.
