STREET DUEL
Two Negroes Settle Difficulty With
Pistols.

James Mott and Morris Jackson, two
negro employees of Drummond's livery
stables after several days quarrelling over
board bill, decided to shoot it otrt yester-
day morning, and emptied their revolvers
ut each other a.. the corner of Eighteenth
street and Third avenue. Both of the duel
lists were wounded, one in the cheek and
the other in the heshy part of the thigh.
Officers Mcdaniel and HaSood, hearing
the shots, ran to uhe scene of action, but
not i'm time to prevent the shooting. Both
negroes were picked up and carried to the
police station, where their wounds were
dressed by DR.. Wheelan.
1t seems that they had disputed over a
board bill which jackson claimed that Mott
owed the house where they lived. Not be-
ing able to make a financial settlement,
pistols were used.

SECOND DAY OF
THE STATE FAIR
Another Large Crowd of Wis.,
tors In Attendance.
THE MANY ATTRACTIONS
Midway in Full Blast-The Races Were
Good and Will Be Continued Daily
According to Programme
T., P. A. Day.
THE MANY ATTRACTIONS

The second day of the state fair was a
great success. During the entire day the
grounds were crowded and every depart
ment was closely inspected by the visitors.
There are still few exhibits to be arrang-
ed in the exposition building, but the car
penters are hard at work and everything
will be in readiness today.
The grandstand was crowded when the
races began and there was much interest
displayed in the contests between the trot-
ters. Naturally, there were no running
races, the excitment was not SO great as on
the previous day.
The public was notified before noon yes
terday that the running races had been
postponed, and many of the cranks inclined
to the fast finishes failed to turn out.
In the trotting and pacing races most of
the horses were well known to the specta-
tors, and sometimes the applause would
start before the horses would reach the
turn. Today the entire programme will
be carried out and some of the most eXcit-
ing finishes Of the week will no doubt be
seen.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-11-09

day. The conspicuous absence Of pool sell
ing tended to produce depressing effect on
the sport and the exciting applause at the
finishes was somewhat on the decline.
There are several good running races
billed for today, and the grand stand will
no doubt be filled with the crowd which
loves this swift class of sport.
1t was announced yesterday morning that
there would be no running races on account
of the trouble over the selling of pool
tickets on the results. This naturally kept
many away from the track who would
otherwise have turned out in full force.
There Were three trots and one pace on,
the programme, but the last one was not
started on account of approaching dark
ness.

with siglrtseers and an unusual amount OF

fair are neglecting to vote for the most
popular woman, to whom will be awarded
the handsome Victoria and pair of blooded
horses. On Monday there were 5000 paid
tickets taken up, but not half of this num-
Der voted Besides this enormous crowd
which passed through the gates the entire

prised and agreeably so.
Dancing was the order of pleasure,

siding at the piano. the Light fantastic

everyone went home thanking these
social members of the order for remem-
bering the Circle on this their ami

Cedar is to be congratulated on having
such charming young ladies to look
