r. B. HARKISON'S CASE.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles FavOrs Vindication
of the Indiana Soldier.

CLEVELAND. April S.-The Plain Deal
er's Washington correspondent says:
Lieutenant General Miles has shown un-
mistakable interest in the case of Russell
r. Harrison, who was discharged on Dec.
from the volunteer army. General Miles
is understood to have urged Secretary Root
TO restore the son of the late President to
the volunteer army with the rank of lieu
tenant colonel. No vacancy in any staff
corps of the regular army is open TO him.
and IL he wishes an appointment in the
regular service the highest rank he could
be given would be that of first lieutenant.
liz is understood. however that Lieutenant
Colonel Harrison wants vindicatiOn as
much as anything else. and would accept
an appointment as a lieutenant colonel of
volunteers, with the understanding that he
should be mustered out on July l. No action
has been taken in his case and there is,
apparently, no disposition on the part of
the War Department 10 do anything for
him.

BAD STABBING AFFRAY
FIGHT IN LOUIS SCHOLTZ'S SALOON
ON WEST WASHINGTON STREET.
Patrick Donoghue the yictim-An In
known Man and WOm-
Involved.

A fight in Louis Schotz's saloon at S01O
West Washington street, last night be-
tween Patrick Donoghue and an unknown
man, may result fatally to Donoghue. He
was stabbed twice in the back. the wounds
being in a dangerous place and once in
the arm. He was taken TO Poland's stable,
at 324O West Washington street. and be-
came unconscious on the way. DR. Davis
was called and Donoghue was revived. He
was intoxicated, and said he was a tough
one from wild and woolly Texas. that ne
had "waded in blood, and spotted and
SCARED and cut and sIashed in all shapes
and forms" He resented the efforts of
his friends and the doctor. and wanted to
hight when the City Dispensary ambulance
was called and an effort was made to get
him into it to be taken to the hospital
The ambulance was driven away without
him, and a few minutes later. when the
bicycle police arrived, it was found he had
been removed to the home Of his brother,
at 2Sl9 West Michigan street. He had be-
fore refused to go there. DR.. Hodges was
called later. and he found Donoghue in
a serious condition and liable to bleed to
death from the wounds in the back.
No one could be found who would admit
knowing anything about the fight, though
1t was evident they were trying 10 keep
the matter quiet. The police were told
several stories.
Frank Maurath, the bartender at the
saloon said that the unknown man was in
the rear of the saloon with a woman. Pat
rick DonOghue and his brother came in
and quarrel ensued The woman and her
companion went away and half an hour
later the man returned. Donoghue. then
much intoxicated, was standing against the
bar in the front room. The previous es-
cOrt OF the woman walked direct to him
and began sashing with the knife. which
he held open in his hand as he entered the
door.
After about two hours work the bicycle
and district police learned that Donoghue
had been quarreling in the afternoon with
a man named Charles Johnson. living on
West Michigan street. and Johnson was
taken to DonOghue's house for identifica-
ton. Donoghue declined to make any def
mite statement and Johnson was taken to
police headquarters for further examina-
tiOnS.
Donoghue was taken after midnight to
ST. Vincent's Hospital, then so weak from
loss OF blood that he could make but little
resistance
