A CIvrTING AFFnAy

Yesterday morning about 6:45 O'Clock
Mr.. Samuel Stringer. assistant superin-
tendent of the Portsmouth street rail-
road, received an ugly wound in the
neck, inflicted by r. a. Wood, a motor
man on the said road. The hour for
the cars to leave the power house is
5:45. Mr.. Stringer says that he had
started all but Woods car off. He had
told him several times to leave but
Wood seemed to pay no attention TO his
order. Finally he told him to either go
or else he would put some one else on
the car. Wood jumped down from The
car and said, well. do it," Words
followed for some time. and then. with
out any warning, he, was struck by
Wood. a scullle followed, and in it
Wood cut him in the back OF the neck.
He staggered and fell. Some of the
employees ran to him, picked him up
and carried him into the power house
while others caught Wood anu de-
could be secured. On Mr.. Cherry's ar
rival Wood was placed under arrest
and was carried before Justice Peed
who committed him to Jail.
Immediately after the cutting n mes
senger was sent for DR.. r. S. Hope
who responded promptly but before he
arrived Mr.. Stringer had lost consid-
cradle blood, one of the main arteries
I'm the neck being cut. The doctor
soon caught up the artery and then
uEeSScu the wound. ME. SlTlIlpcr WIS
afterwards carried 10 his home. on Cliff
ford street. Mr.. Stringer says that
Wood had no cause to cut. other than
being told to attend to his business.
DIR. Hope was seen, and said that Mr..
Stringer's wound. though painful. was
not serious. He is quite weak from the
loss of blood.
Mr.. Wood is a native of Chester S.
c.. and came here about two months
ago. Having nothing TO do. he made
application for the position of motor
man. and, after learning the business,
he was given car. He claims that
when Mr.. Stringer spoke to him about
going he said, II can't go: l have no
conductor" and at that Stringer got
mad and ordered him off the car. Some
words followed, and that Stringer
walked up to him, threw him down,
and while down he cut him.
Wood had Il hearing last night before
Justice Peed at the office of the county
Jail and was fined $40 for assault. He
was represented by Captain Charles r.
Bland.

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL ARGUED
In the Case of Murderer w. II. Jen-

IN the case OF Murderer w. II. Jen-
kins-Action Suspended.
~ motion for u new trial on the
ground of newly discovered evidence
was argued before Judge Portlock yes
terday in the County Court In the case
of w. III. jenkins, colored. convicted of
the murder of George Williams.
The matter appears on the docket
as having been argued and submitted,
but as matter OF fact the motion was
denied. Judge Portlock was on the
point of arraigning the prisoner TO i'm
pose the death sentence, when Il re-
quest was made by c.. A. Melville that
action in the case be suspended until
be has time to prepare bill of eXcep-
tons. which Will be presented at the
next term Of court. This request was
granted.
Col. VIM. IL. Stewart, who was ap-
pointed by the court to defend the
prisoner, will probably retire from the
case. as he feels that he las done
everything that can be done to save
his client from the gallowS. The de-
Tense was able to produce little or no
new evidence TO sustain ITS application
for new trial, and in summing up
the case Judge Portlock stated that
the material facts stood almost exact
~ as they did at the first hearing.

Increase OF wealth Among Privileged
Ones Favored by Glass Liquidation.
The accumulation OF money in the
financial institutions Of this country,
in a great measure due to the extor-
tons practiced upon the people, is 80
great that one Of them announced it's
willingness to take the whole Of the
British wal bond issue Of $50, OOO.O 900.
Others are equally anxious, though
having less money, while the general
subscription amounts to more than
the whole issue. The time has evil

look to England for money. There is
more idle capital in America waiting
for investment than there ever was

it. The producing masses are toiling
harder than ever before and receive a

How Toll Conquered Pride.

John Adams, the second President
OF the United States, used to relate
the following anecdotes:
-Whep | vas n boy l used to study
Latin grammar; but it vas dull and |
hated it. My father was anxious to
send ME To college aud therefore |
studied the grammar until | could
stand it no longer; aud going To my
father ! told him that l did not like
study and should prefer some other
employment.
@My father said: We'll. John, il
Latin grammar does not suit you, try
ditching-perhaps that will. MY
meadow youuer needs a ditch and
You may put by Latin aud try THAT
This seemed to be Il delightful
change, and to the meadow | went.
But | soon found ditchIng harder
than Latin, and the first forenoon
the longest l v g experienced. That
day l ate the bread Of lshaE and glad
was l when night came on. That
night made some comparison be.
tween Latin grammar and ditching
but said not a word a%out it.
Il dug next forenoon and wanted to
return to Latin at die Ter but it was
Illuminating, and | could not do it. At
night toll conquered pride and
though it was the hardest trials | ev-
er had in my life, l told father that

A r. SITUATION.

According to the following from the
Virginia Report it appears that the
Republican leaders arc having some
difficulty i'll making u platform To fit
tho views Of their Congressional can.
didate. aud still preserve their stand
ing with the national organization. In
discussing this condition Of affairs,
the Report says:
So extraordinarily anxious are they
to give us d Congressman this year
that it is actually proposed to let Mr..
harrington dictate to heRepublicans
OF Nevada what platform il should
adopt. In times past it was custom
AIRY for the candidate to seek the nom.
ination and be thankful when he got
it, but Mr.. Harrington has made it
fashionable for the nomination to
seek the candidate and for the latter
to- dictate the terms upon which he
will accept it. This year the nation.
al Republican convention declared
for the gold standard and Mark Han.
ma sat upon free silver with all the
weight OF his %ponderous launches.
Mckinley accepted the nomination
on that gold standard and anti silver
platform and is standing on it today
That's all very we'll but it won't do
for the fastidious Mr.. Harrington. 1t
may be good enough for Mckinley.
but it isn't good enought for him.
So he tells the Republican party OF
Nevada that he won't run unless they
put a silver plank i'll their platform,
and they are going to do it, too. Far
ringtOn wants it. and Charley wants
harrington, and thcY want Charley.
So, to hell with consistency, psrty
tealty and everything else. The sill
