reached this city to-day to the effect
that the Clover Leaf would soon pass

Leaf and the Michigan Central, a Van
derbilt road. The plan is said to be
to make the Glover Leaf a part of the
Michigan Central system, thus giving
the Vanderbilts a line from st. Louis
to Lake Erie, Buffalo, Boston and
New York. The Glover Leafs eastern
terminal is here, and the Detroit d.
vision of the Michigan Central has its
terminal here also. President Norton
left this AFTERNOON fol. few York, hay

Growing Out Of a Family Feud In
Nova Scotia.
HALIFAX, N. S., March 10.-A fam
lily feud at Shubenacadie, forty miles
from here, eliminated to-day in a
bloody shooting ARRAY. The partici-
pants were David, Emachnand Melrose
Ettinger, on one side, and three Lantz
brothers on the other. The trouble
started some time ago, in connection
with a disputed piece of land and since
then the parties have gone about arm
ed. They met at church this morning.
The Lantz brothers attended service
and as they left the church the Fitting
ers, who had been waiting for the
brothers to come out, opened fire with
revolvers. One of the Lantz brothers
fell at the first volley. His brothers
returned the fire and two of the as
sailants were shot, Emach probably
fatally. The wounds of the others are
serious, but not dangerous. A tele-
phone message says other relatives
have taken up the dispute and the To-
cal constables refuse to interfere.
Further ~bloodshed is expected.
