PITCHED BATTLE IN ENTUCKY.
Six Men Dead and as Many More Are
 Dying

Six Men Dead and as Many More Are 1 Dying
 l Middlesboro, Ky, Feb. 12.-Six are dead and as many more are dying as
 the result of battle between Middles- 1 boro officers and mountaineers. The | battle, one of the most desperate of it's
 kind in the history of mountain war
 fare, occurred to-day at Lee Turner's
 saloon near Middlesboro. Last month l Turner had some mules and other goods | levied on in payment of debt, and l few nights ago, it is said, he, with oth
 CTS, went to Virginia, where the prop l erty had been taken, secured what was | formerly his and returned to his house. | To-day Deputy Sheriff William Thomp- son summoned a posse of ten or fifteen
 men for the purpose of arresting Tur- | ner.
 | Railroad transportation was refused | the officers and they footed it through | the mot ltains, Turner had heard that an attempt would be made to arrest
 him, and he and his men, fifteen in
 number, were prepared. The saloon is built of huge logs and is surrounded by th rty-foot fence in which loop holes were cut, Turner's surrender
 was demanded. His reply was round of shots Charley c. Cecil, of Middles- boro, was riding a palfrey in plain view
 of the Turner gang. Some one, believ-
 ed to have been Mike Welch, Turner's bartender, fired through window, kill ing Cecil Instantly the murderer fell
 back, pierced by half dozen bullets
 The officers scattered, hiding behind trees and rocks,
 In the shooting that followed, John Doyle a former railroad man, was bad ly wounded, perhaps fatally, and Simon Bean, another ex-railroader, was shot. A torch was applied to an exposed side of the building and in a few minutes the building was in flames. Several of the mountaineers came to the window and were immediately shot down. Lee Turner and several of his friends, how ever e-caped and are reported to be at Mingo mines, eight miles from Mid dlesboro.
 Several of his men perished in the flares. Many rumors are rife tonight, one being that five of the Turner gang were killed and that five more perished in the flames It is also believed that the deputies lost several men. Some of the deputies who came in tonight say that half of the men are still at the sa- loon and that they will return with re- Inducements. It is feared that the trouble is not at an end.
 Turner, it is said, graduated from a college at Rose Hill, Va. His saloon is known for the bloodshed which has oc- curved there P1acine to-day'S nIlrlber | of deaths at only six, f1ftynine have ! been killed there and twice that mum Der wounded.

 of which and by the training of which
 he came to the position of honor and
 reverence which he held and still holds were depicted In splendid style He was not born and reared in the palace of wealth and luxury, but in the rude log cabin of poverty, and through it all by reason of the experience gained and the lessons learned knew how to deal with the common people, of whom he was a great exponent He was a man of homely virtue, of humor and his ability to laugh was his life preserver. It help ed to bring him to the White house.
 Being a man of practical common sense and reason the overstepping of which makes matter ludicrous and compels a laugh. With laughter Lincoln pointed his arguments in court and thus held the good will of men. Many fears of his associates in life were dispelled by the relation of good stories. Being a man of much good common sense he was the arbiter of all affairs that took place in his native place. He was so conscientious and honest that he never pleaded a case which he thought was unjust. NO cf1lnlual or SullIy 1ldjl was ever shielded or released by reason of his eloquence.
 When he announced his platform he threw himself on his merits on the peo- pie with the words that they could take him or not There was nothing of show or pride. He was the soul of simplicity, but a man with the courage of his con- victions, and he made a bold statement when he said, at the time of witnessing the sale of slave girl on a block in New Orleans, that If he ever had a chance to hit that thing he would and would hit it hard" This he did in his proclamation which was issued shortly after. He had the pri- maj grace of reverence and met the ob- legations of the common sort with feeling of obedience and duty unto God At the crisis of the hour he would seek seclusion and commune with God on his knees. With manly Christian soul he welcomed the Christianity of Christ | and knew that it stood behind him in the administration of the country. l Lincoln believed in the people, loved the | people, of whom he was one, ]

Of the Quinnipiack Club and the unior

Of the Quinnipiack Club and the Union
 League.
 The matter of the proposed consoli- dation of the Union league and the Quinnipiack club is under serious con- sideration. The committees representing the organizations are at work inVeSti- gatng as to the probable cost of a union building of the proper size and dimensions and in suitable location, a building which should do honor to both these important organizations and to the city and one which should be in keeping with the fine new bi-centennial buildings of Yale and metropolitan in character. The idea os to a new union building includes that 1t shall have bachelor apartments, a cafe and a la dies reception room and dining room, and all the conveniences and appurte- nances of a modern up to date club building of metropolitan character. Of course the committees have also in mind what the buildings of the respec- tive clubs would sell for on a just basis of valuation, and the other financial aspects of the case are being consider aI

FEARS Ch0LERA'S RAVACES.
Medical Commanding Official Afraid
of Many Deaths In Philippines.
Smallpox Prevalent.

alarming situation with regard to the
epidemic of cholera in the Philippines
was set out in a report received by
Surgeon General Forewood from Lieu
tenant Colonel Heizeman, at present
in charge of the medical department
of the army in the islands. The re-
port says in part:
The appearance Of the disease at
Manila in March was attributed in
some quarters to vegetables coming
into the islands from infected Chinese
ports, and in others to the drinking
of Pasig river water, foul with the
sewage of the city. Lieutenant Col
onel Heizeman said that the number
of different points attacked by the
epidemic and the consequent infec
tiCn of many streams makes probable
a large number of deaths before the
rains shall occur, which ended the
two great epidemics in the eighties
The army. lie says is much better
protected than the native population
or than civilian Americans in the
islands, because of the care which Is
exercised in supplying good food and
water.
In Manila alone a total of 277 cases.

more with the natives than the whites
