o. c. PORTER USES A KNIFE ON STOCKINGS, THE BAR
 BIER.
Stockings was Darned by Dr. J. r. stanley-Fell to the Sidewalk from Loss of Bl0Od-ln a
 Precarious Condition.

Monday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, near the court house, Lawyer o. 0. Porter, and the colored barber, Stockings, engaged ip 8 controVer- sy and hot words brought about a fight. Stockings struck Porter and Porter drew his pocket-knife and used it with good effect ripping Stockings stomach in several places. The blood flowed freely, and while en route to a doctors office, Stockings became so weak from loss of blood that he fell to the sidewalk in helpless condition. He was conveyed to Dr. Stanley's office, near by, where his wounds were dressed. He was afterWard taken to his home, and up to the present writing his recovery is doubtful. The full cause of this re- grettable affair could not be learned, ana what we say above is made up from the reports on the streets.
 Constable Stewart put MT. Porter under arrest, and he is now out on bail.

Portsmouth and n Dry Dock,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 TuItoF OF Inc Evening Star:
l see in the article in Saturday nights
Star on Lack of Dry Docks" that Ports
mouth, N H, is represented as being a
poor place for a government dry dock
/ wish to inform the writer of this article
that he is laboring under a great mistake.
Two years ago Secretary Long visited
said yard and reported that its machine
shops stood second to none in the country
in his estimG ton. He also sounded the
Plscataqua river finding the channel to
be over sixty feet deep in the narrowest
part at low tide, near the navy yard a
hundred feet and half Il mile above or at
the Portsmouth bridge he could not sound
bottom. =
1t is a known fact that at one time the
ships of the Greedy expedition lay at anchor
in the harbor
This summer the two large commerce
deStroyers, Columbia and Minneapolis, en-
tered the harhor went half way up to the
navy yard and anchored.
AS far as it's being exposed to attack
from sea- the government has just been
to the expense of terrifying old Fort Con-
stitution, which controls the entrance to
the harbor.
Although 1 mot a native of Ports
mouth 1 have spent f2any delightful sum-
mers in the old city by the sea, and am,
therefore, much Interested in it's welfare
and the benefit resulting from a dry dock

RAILWAY IN CHINA.
American Capitalists Interested in
One 900 Miles in Length.

Mr.. NJ. E. Ingalls,, president of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company; j.
Perpont Morgan, the Nanderbilts and
many other capitalists who are interested
in railway enterprises in the United States
have formed a company called the Ameri-
can-Chinese Development Company which
proposes to construct what is described a
one of the greatest railroads in the world.
The entire route will be over 300 miles in
length. and the line will traverse the rich
est portion of the Chinese empire. touch
ing in turn at all the various native and
foreign points in the country. Mr.. II. V.
Golfer, one of the principal civil engineers
in the employ of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company, has been selected as
chief engineer for the construction of the
new route, and he has already left for
China.
A gentleman who is Interested in this
new enterprise said he did not think the
road would be difficult to construct as
from maps and information received on the
subject the company believes the country
through which the road viii pass offers
few real obs acles. There is Only one noun
tain along the entire route laid out, and
but few hills. lie said he did not believe
it would be as difficult the construction
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in
Virginia
Mr.. Golfer expects to reach Shanghai IN
about two weeks, and will spend several
months in that city making arrangements
for laborers and men to carry on the work
after it is started. Chinese laborers will
be employed almost altogether not oulv
because they are the cheapest. but because
employment of natives will promote a more
favorable sentiment in China toward the
road. After leaving Shanghai Mr. Golfer
will go up YangtS kiang river as far as
Han Kow, which has been selected as the
starting point, and which is situated close
TO the Russian and German influences in
the empire. From Han Kow Mr. Golfer
viii proceed south, travelling through the
rich section where the English are in
great strength, and finally reach Canton on
the edge of the French interests great
number of capitalists and bankers from a
number of cities are behind the scheme
most of them New Workers, where the idea
originated.
