CUTTING AFFRAY IN GREENER'S SALOON Fred ThreadmiIIer Received a &c., we're Stab in the
 Neck.

As the result of old row, a cutting scrape occurred in Greener's saloon, in First avenue, about 12 o'clock last night. Fred Threadmiller received a severe stab in the neck, and it was at first thought that he was fatally wounded. He was immedi- ately carried to the office of DBs. Copeland & Berry, and it was found that the jugular vein was slightly cut, though the artery had not been touched. The gash was about two inches long and one inch deep.
 The young mans assailants were said to be Bud and Claude Wallace, two brick layers. Those present say that both men had open knives in their hands, but that the cutting was done by Bud Wallace. It seems that the row started over some riv- airy between the two men and Thread dmil- ler's brother regarding their efficiency as bricklayers. The wounded man lives in Cleveland, O., and is here visiting his brother, who is also a bricklayer. The two Walaces are from Georgia and it seems became incensed at 9 remark made by Threadmiller's brother that "there never was a good brlcklayer in Georgia"
 On this question the dispute arose, and it became so hot that knives were drawn. Up to this time the young man who was cut had not joined in the argument, but when he saw the knives drawn he stepped up and it is said by some of the witnesses, picked up a shovel. Bud Wallace, 1t is alleged, then rushed at him and stabbed him in the neck. The men were soon separated, and it was found that Threadmiller was seri- ously cut, the Wallaces in the meantime escaping.
 The wounded man was immediately taken to the office of Copeland & Berry ,-and as neither of the doctors were in, was attend ed by Messrs Beasley and Fore. two as- sstants who are studying under pr. Cope land. They soon had the flow of blood stopped and the wound bandaged7 Though the young man is very weak from loss of blood, the young doctors think he will re- cover.
 There were several persons in the saloon at the time of the trouble, bat their de- scriptions of the affair are decidedly con fiicting.
 As yet no arrests have been made.

ocratic Executive Committee of Con-
 ecuh County, That we hereby con- demn and repudiate the action of Gov- ernor Johnston in calling a special ses-
 sion of the legislature of Alabama to
 repeal the act for a constitutional con
 vention, and we hereby re-aftirm our opinion that there is an urgent neces-
 sfty for the convention in order that
 our people may once and for all rid themselves of the evils of negro suf-
 frage and secure complete harmony
 among the white people of our state.
 Be it further Resolved. That we are unalterably opposed to the repeal of
 the act providing for a constitutional convention and as true democrats who have passed through the fires of fadi-/ cal and populite opposition and dorhina-
 tion, we hereby appeal to our fellow
 democrats all over the state to join
 with us in our opposition. %
 Be it further resolved, That in our judg' ment the highest possible argument in ia vor of a constitutional convention lis the fact that under the present constitution it is possible for the governor to attempt such high-handed and unprecedented measures as he is now advocating, for tho sole purpose of advancing his persona ambition and punishing his supposed enemies.
 Be it further resloved, That we hereby fully endorse the action of our state ex ecutive committee and of the late demo cratic convention with it's platform, anC stand ready to support the same, in every reasonable and proper manner, believing as we do that the best interests of the peo pie of Alabama will be thereby ,su5sesvet and promoted.

Notwithstanding that great number of people have been cured of chronic catarrh by taking Fortuna during the past cold season, yet it cannot be denied that the cold, wet, stormy winter has retarded many cures, and in some cases actually prevented a cure.

A Catarrh Cure That Cures.
Some Reasonable Spring Sayings,

Springtime has come at last, and now Is the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin @ systematic course of treatment for this disease. The greatest difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch cold during the treatmentan thuSdelay the cure. This liability at this season of the year is, in great measure, re- moved, and no one should neglect the opportunity to begin treatment.

reached Il degrees and 80 minutes. where
the steamer Belgica remained imprisoned
in the pack ice for thirteen months, until
March IA. 1899. The Belgica behaved very
well In resisting pressure, but the ma
chinery did not work satisfactorily. Dr.

amounts to only SOC. 900 francs. while the
Arctic expedition under the Duke of Abruz-

the expedition gathered valuable materials.
