BETWEEN TWO DAYS.
A Small Encounter ON Market Street
Late Last Night.

Late Last Night.
1t was within few minutes of half
past eleven O'Clock last night when
two men met on Market street, just
north Of ALLEY nine. Tumult, d1sor-
der and a. large crowd almost immed-
lately Followed the meeting.
One of the parties claimed that the
party of the second part had insult
ed him, and he Immediately demanded
satisfaction. The party of the first
part denied the allegation and offered
to whip the alligator. an offer which
was Immediately accepted, and HOSTILE
ties commenced.
The first round was made up OF q
sharp interchange of blows at close
quarters and some lively foot-work
which led both pugilisss from the side
walk to the street. Short arm JaDs
In rapid succession came near putting
one of the parties out, but he rallied,
and the round closed with swift in
terchange of apparently harmless
blows.
A hack driver called time, and they
went at it again, both men appearing
to be very much in earnest. Several
foul blows had been interchanged and
to casual spectators it looked like a
very even thing, when night-watch-
man-not a policeman-arrived on the
scene. One of the combatants ducked,
lodged, and disappeared. The other
was arrested and led down the street
a short distance, when discussion
ensued and explanations were made.
The party arrested claimed strenuous
ly that he had been insulted and had
to defend himself The other party,
by that time was up about Bridge
Place, being a good sprinter About
seven minutes after the affair was all
over, a regular police officer strolled
around and wanted to know what was
going on. He was solemnly assured
there was nothing going on. which was
strictly true. as even a fugitive had
stopped going, and the crowd dispersed

The police last night received in
formation concerning a dastardly crime
committed by two well known young
men of this city, for whom the officers
are searching at an early hour this
morning, but whose names will not be
revealed until they are apprehended.
It appears That the young men met
Lizzie Miller and her half sister, q
young lady named Thompson, both
from Washington. Pa. at the poStofiice
at about eight O'Clock last evening.
They prevailed upon the two young
ladies to accompany them to Rud1ers
place, on the National Road, east Of
Fulton. There the party drank beer,
and later started toward the city. AT
Stackyard Hollow, according to the
story of Miss Thompson, the young
men deserted their companions, stat
ing that they would go to Wheeling
and secure a carriage to convey the
young ladies to the city.
Lizzie Miller was drugged and fell
into a stupor, which alarmed the other
young lady, who walked to Fulton for
assistance. Before the young men de-
serted their companions they removed
a diamond ring valued at $125 from the
finger of Miss Miller, and also stole s14
in money from her. They did not re-
turn.
The woman who was drugged was
brought into Fulton, and taken to a
room in the McFadden saloon building.
where Fulton physician attended
her. Meanwhile Chief OF Police Glenn
ans drove out, rendered all possible as
sistance to the unfortunate woman,
and secured a description Of her two
companions. He then returned to the
city, and at two o'clock this morning
is searching for the young men who are
believed to be implicated in the affair
At two O'Clock this morning DR.. Hen
derson, of Fulton, was still working
with the unfortunate woman at Nc
Fadden's place, and stated that her
condition was improving. Her heart
action was then good, and growing
stronger, but the physician stated that
she was by no means out Of danger.
although he entertained hopes for her
recovery.
Miss Thompson made the statement
that she saw the men, or one of them,
pour the drug into the glass from
which Miss Miller drank. The physi-
clan could not state positively what
the drug was, but thought he detected
the odor of choloform. She walked as
far as Stackyard Hollow, where she
FELL and it was while in that condition
that she was robbed.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
sport though good at the Empire City
track on the fifth day of the grand
circuit meeting lacked any sensational
features.
The 2:f4 trot was the most exciting
race OF the day as with a field of u,
the bay mare, Bay Star. was picked 10
win at the hot price OF 50 to 10. The
favorite won the first heat by length
with ease, and It looked as il it was all
over, but In the second heat she got
the worst of bad start, was cut OF
at the first turn, broke badly and look
ed to be out of the race. She ran in
and saved her distance and won the
next two heats from three 70 four
lengths.
Only four met in the 2.10 pace and
the brown gelding George sold al 100
to so for the field. This proved TO be
a false price as the fayorite only won
the first heat by a neck from The Pri-
.vate in a cracking finish. The berNng
now changed to two to one on The
Private. who won the next three heats

The charitable nature of Wheeling
people has perhaps never been SO fully
manifested as in the present aid
movement for the storm sufferers OF
Texas. Orders have already. been re-
ceived for 300 tickets for the concert
to be given at Wheeling Park on the
18th for the benefit of the relief fund.
One gentleman purchased 100 tickets
and will kindly return them to the
committee when delivered SO that they
may be sold again. Tickets for the
event will be disposed of on the streets,
and at hotels and at drug stores.
The Wheeling Park Association. has
donated the use Of their grounds and
Casino for the date sefected. The OPP
era House Orchestra will also render a
fine programme gratis tor the occa-
sion and there is every assurance that
an immense audience wifi attend. In
anticipation of the sale, the committee
will forward a check for $500 to-day
to those in charge of the aid fund at
Galveston because of the fact that the
storm survivors are much more in
need of money now than they will be
week or so hence. Mayor Andrew
T. Sweeney, Postmaster George Wise
and Paul Reymann are the sponsors
for the concert. The check will be
transmitted free of charge.
The following committees have been
appointed to sell tickets in various dis
tricts:
Main street, from Twelfth to Six
teenth, and all business houses and
manufacturing plants outside OF the
business districts-Mayor A. T. Sween-
ey and Postmaster George Wise.

One OF a rarity OF Sercna0ers Out
CnIdweIFs Run Accidentally Shot
Thursday Night.
While assisting to serenade a newly
married couple living near the Bethle-
hem school house, about mile and a
half up the left branch of Caldwell's
run, Thursday night, young man
named Walker accidentally received a
bullet wound which may result in his
death. In the party of serenaders, it
is learned, was young man named
Marsh, who was firing a revolver into
the air to add to the noise of the cele-
bration, and young Walker, who was
standing near him, was shot in the
neck. 1t is said that Marsh thought
the revolver was filled with blank car
tridges when he started to fire it. Drs.
Caldwell and Cracraft were hastily
summoned and the injured man receiv-
ed the necessary medical aid. One of
the attending physicians stated last
evening that Walker was resting as
comfortably as could be expected under
the circumstances.
