SlASHeO WITH A KNIFE.
3. P. CIanc y Of Bangor. Badly Cut in Row
by W. H. Kelley.

Bangor. Ne. April 2.-There was a
serious stabbng ARRAY in the saloon of
3. P. Clancy on Exchange street,
about o'clock Saturday morning.
William II. Kelley, Bangor hack
man, is the proprietor of lunch room
occupying the front of Clanceys store.
If is said that the two men have not
a greed on certain things relative to the
rent. etc, for some time.
Saturday morning, Kelley went to
the lunch room to get his breakfast.
He sat down near the entrance to the
bar and in a few minutes Clancy ar
rived to open up his part of the store
for business. There We're four others
present at the lunch counter, and they
saw that when Clancy stopped down
70 pick up a paper Kelley stabbed him
in the neck. He arose and Kelley, 1t is
alleged. again stabbed him three times
over the heart.
Clancy began to grow weak from
the loss of blood and was quickly taken
"a his home, where doctors attended
him. They found that all that pre-
vented him from being killed was the
thickness of his clothes. A little later
Kelley walked into the police station
and gave himself up.
KalIev's friends claim that he is
crazy and they say that as far as they
know he has never had any trouble
with Clancy. The latter is in bad
shane. and there is some doubt eX-
messed about his recovery.

INTO A CHURCH.
The Cleveland Boycott Brought to
Bear Upon Preacher and Choir
Singer.

CLEVELAND. o., August 16.-Four
young boys, ages ranging from is to
10, were arrested this morning in con-
nection with the attempt to blow up
two cars during the late strike on Jul
ly 20. The boys names are Henry
Kroner, Charles Young, Lorin Solin-
ski and Manly Friedman. The boys
were charged with suspicion. The po-
lice will probably arrest several more
persons in this connection during the
day.
A woman named Mrs. Maggie Brad
ley. was this morning arrested,
charged with placing distractions on
the track of the Big Consolidated
street railroad company.
The boycott incident to the strike
has been carried into at least one
church on the South Side. A minister
by the name of Rev. James Fall has
been boycotted and young woman
connected with church choir has
been told that If she does not refrain
from riding on Big Consolidated cars
she must resign her position in the
church.
Late last evening an attempt was
made to blow up car on Clark, near
Scranton avenue. The car was bound
west on Clark avenue, when there was
a deafening report.
One passenger, boy, was aboard the
car. The car was in charge of Will
liam Hayes, conductor, and Burt Glenn
ons, motorman. No one was injured,
and the car was able to continue its
journey.

ed to-day. It is possible, also, that
other political organizations will be
invited to attend, without regard to
party affiliations.
Carl W. Seabrght was born in
Brunswick. Germany, October IL, 1886.
His father was a contractor in the Ger
man mail service. and deceased was
employed in the service previous to his
emigration, for four years. He came
to Wheeling in 1S49, landing in
Baltimore July 1st of that year. A
brother had preceded him by couple
of months, and had engaged in the
meat business, but young Seabright
found this employment uncongenial,
and on September 1st, 1S49 entered the
employment of Thomas Hughes, then
conducting a large merchant tailoring
business on Water street, just north
of Twelfth, with the intention OF
learning the tailoring trade. After a
few days work on the bench, however,
the errand boy in the establishment
resigned. and young Seabright was
called down stairs TO take his place.
From this modest beginning Mr.. Sea-
bright remained in the employ of the
firm for twenty-one years and five
months. and was head clerk when he
severed his connection with the estab-
lishment.
On the first of February. 1871, he
formed a partnership with Charles
Pfafenbach, under the firm name of
Pfafenbaeh e Seabright. in the mer-
chant tailoring business. In less than
year Mr. Pfafenbach retired, and Mr..
Seabright secured partner in the per-
son of Mr.. c. A. Schmulbach, the firm
name being Seabright & Co. The fol-
lowing February he purchased his
partners interest, and thenceforFh
conducted the business in his own
name. although Mr. Frank Cruise. was
Of late years largely interested The
business was very successful from the
start. amounting to as high as 5000
or $4,000 per annum, and thirty-five
or forty hands were employed at times.
Mr. Seabright was an uncompro-
missing Democrat. and took large in
terest in public affairs. In 1881 he
was the Democratic candidate for the
House of Delegates and was elected
In 1887 he was the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor of Wheeling, and was
elected. defeating Hon. B. B. Dovener
by 9s votes. Two years later he was
again a candidate. and his majority
was 63S. During that term. in pursu-

Lutheran church. He belonged to
several secret organizations, among
them Wheeling Lodge No. %, B. P. O.
Elks, and to the German Pioneers. He
took an active interest in German
American affairs, and was a familiar
and welcome figure at all gatherings
and outings where the German ele-
ment predominated, as we'll as in dis
tinetively American assembiages. By
virtue of his offices and standing in
the community he has been often a
leading and prominent figure at var
ious meetings of many sorts. and made
many addresses upon occasions of inn
portance, both here and elsewhere.
On the occasion of the national reun-
ion of volunteer firemen at San Fran
cisco, some years ago. Mr.. Seabright
was a distinctive figure. and his genial
ton.
Deceased was married twice. His
first wife was Miss Isabella O'Calla-
han, of Sistersville, whom he married
in 1861 She died in 1877, three chill
dren then surviving her, of whom but
one is now living, Mr.. Edward Sea-
bright. He was married second time,
February Is. 1896, to Mrs. Sarah Me-
Cough, Of Baltimore, who died in jan
uary last.
The death of Mr.. Seabright removes
from this community probably the best
known man in it. and he will be sim
cerely mourned by many hundreds OF
people who were his personal friends.
Yesterday, when the fact of his death
became known, there were countless
