STABBING AFFAIR.
Dwight Sopher Claims 20 Have Had N
Narrow Escape from Death.

Dwight Sopher, night clerk at the
Arnold Hotel, claims to have been
assaulted about one O'Clock this
morning by an unknown person who
sought to stab him. The young man
says he was called to the rear of the
hotel, and as he started to go out the
rear door some one stabbed him in
the left breast. AS evidence of the
assault the young man shows cut
through the left side of work jack
ct, vest and shirt, and states that
the blade of the knife cut through a
pack of papers and piece of card
board that he carried in his pocket,
and but for this fact the point of the
knife would undoubtedly have enter
ed the heart. The knife made a
wound in the breast of Sopher that
measures about half inch in depth,
and blood flowed quite freely from
the wound at the time.
Sopher, it will be remembered, was
in dicted for participating in the bur-
81 arizing of the Ed. Howard grocery
store some time ago, and there was a
hung jury when the case was tried in
the February term.

MILITIA CALLED.
Albany Street Car Strike AS
sumes Serious Form.

Albany, May 15.-When the striking
employees of the Union Traction 90.
awoke this morning they we're fore
IDLY reminded of a recent statement
made by the company manager that
it would run its car if it took the
entire militia.
The soldiers are here and more are
coming. There was but little trouble
during the night. 1t is believed that
the company has many men at its
command in and near the city and
attempts to operate the cars will be
made again to-day. Serious trouble
is anticipated. Another fruitless at
tempt to bring about a compromise
was made early this morning. AS one
company of soldiers was marching
to the street car barn at midnight the
soldiers were jeered and stoned by a
mob OF strikers and sympathizers.
Troy, N. Y, May 15.-No attempt
was made to run the cars here,
everything was quiet this morning.
The tracks were torn up for quite a
distance last night.
Ten thousand people gathered
around the Quail street barns where
trouble was expected this morning.
The mounted signal corps were
called to the place and forced the
people back from the buildings. The
soldiers were ieered.

The Philanthropic Department OF
the Woman's Club has conceived a
novel and productive method of in
crea ing the fund for the city hospi-
tai. A delegation has been sent to
all the school buildings asking that
the pupils bring any old rubbers or
rain coats or rubber goods of any
kind and contribute them to the de-
partment. The goods will then be
sold as old rubber, and as the pres
emit market value of that article is
extremely high, quite little money
will be obtained. The ladies have
several other schemes which are as
yet not fully matured but will be Of
fered later.
