STABBED N THE BACK
Jones P0dgGIt, IT,, Of CIGS-
cent CITY, The Victim Of
CONARDLY ATTACK IN JACKSONVILLE.
Wounded Man is Agent for A. C. L.
Said to be in Serious Condition.

The Jacksonville Metropolis of
Tuesday evening has the following
account of stabbing affray which
occurred in that city Monday night,
in which James Padgett, jr., of Cres-
cent City figures. The account gives
the name as John Padgett, but this
is an error, as telephone message
from Crescent City establishes.
Latest accounts state that Padg-
ett's wounds are not so serious as
first reported and that he will be out
again in a few days. The following
is the Metropolis account of the
stabbing:
A serious cutting scrape occurred
last night about 10 o'clock near the
home of George b. Stein, on Roselle
street, in Riverside, in which Stein
and a visitor to the city, named John
Padgett, from Crescent City, Fla.
were the principals. Padgett, it
seems, came to the city from Cres-
cent City yesterday, with his little
girl, and went to friends house to
spend the day. He then went to
take his daughter to see II young
lady at STEMS house, where he was
going to leave the little girl to spend
the week.
An argument took place between
Stein and Padgett about u letter
written to Mrs Stein by Mrs. Pad
gett, and which the latter had failed
to answer. Padgett expressed some
regret and surprise at the way
STEMS wife had acted, and this led
to hard words by both men. Pad
gett claims that he tried to make
friends with Stein, but just as he
was starting to leave, he alleges that
Stein struck him, and fight ensued.
Padgett also claims that as he start
ed to leave the second time another

tie Debate The Senate Has
No Set Programme.

Washington, jar. 13.-The most i'm
portant work of the house of repre-
sentatives, aside from the Nicaragua
canal bill. Is still in the committee
stage, so that here is little Of any inn
portance to be considered during this
week. The pension appropriation bill
viii be passed. Although this meas
ure carries about $4,000, 900. it fol-
lows the department estimates and
does not involve any serious issues. so
that after brief explanation its pess-
age usually follows promptly.
The ways and means committee has
a few minor bills on the calendar. for
the redemption of revenue stamps
made worthless by the repeal of GER
tain features of the war revenue act
With the disposal of these bills, there
will be little to engage the attention
OF the house. and there promises to be
several periods of adjournment during
which time the committees will per-
feet the largest measures to be brought
before the house.
The chief interest OF the week will
center In hearings on Cuban reciproc-
Icy. to begin at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning before the ways and means
committee.
The senate is still without aud def
mite plan OF action for the future and
the indications are that the present
week will witness a greater display
OF activity in the senate committee
rooms than IN the senate chamber
There are very few matters OF i'm
Softance on the calendar, but enough
to engage attention for a few hours
each Gay until Thursday, when the SEN

was called to Washington was exhib-
tied 10 every officer of the War de-
partnent, who could by any possibili-
ty handle any order to General Miles
