THE DEFEAT At AoowA.
Kina Menelik's Victory Over the ital.
ian Army Complete.

King Menelik's Victory Over the ital'
ian Army Complete.
A recent book on King Menelik OF
Abyssinia gives detailed account OF
his great victory over the Italian army
of $4,000 men at Adowa in March,
1896: lone hundred and twenty
thousand men thrown up from the I'M
explored depths of Africa were pre-
pairing to rush against the Europeans.
Thousands of lean. fierce-looking Eth
Opians in the cloak of brilliant colors
that they wear on the day Of battle;
rifemen, spearmen from the hills,
swordSmen buckling the curved blade
on their right side to give free play
to the shield-arm; wild riders from
the plains; priests giving absolution;
women and children even; and here
and there some great feudal chief with
black-leopard or lion skin on his horse,
with gold embossed shield. silver
bracelets and all the maSnificence Of
barbarian war" The wild host adj
vancing in the light of the rising sun
found that an Italian brigade, through
blunder in the orders, had moved
forward too far. The European army
thus was destroyed piecemeal and the
survivors only shook off pursuit amid
the gathering darkness of evening and
under the deluge-like rain OF tropic-
al thunderstorm. The Italians had
over 5000 killed-one man in three.
The victors lost nearly 10000. the re.
suit of rushing in close order three po
sitions held by artillery Ind repeating
rifles. Some hundreds of prisoners
were taken. and Menelik dimmed the
glory of his victory by cruel mutila-
ton OF the native allies of the Ital-
ians. 1t was as complete victory as
any recorded in history.

FURTHER TROUBLE EXPECTED

Wilmington. Del, June 26-The
expected conflict between the two
races has occurred, snd three men
have been shot, two of them police
men, and one a negro. The fight took
place shortly before IL O'Clock last
night. For some hours the negroes
had psrsded the streets, driving the
white people before them. In one in
stance they knocked down white
boy, thrust a revolver in his face and
attempted to shoot him. but the re-
volver refused to work, and the boy
escaped.
As the.negroes paraded, their temper
grew steadily worse, until finally the
police reserves were called out. Pres
emily the negro mob came in collision

the mob shouted: "You white men

Additional Opinion to be Asked

RULING IN RAILROAD CASE

The indications are there will be
further complications before the 1880
closing law becomes operative in Pa
ducah.
Attorney T. B. Harrison, one Of the
attorneys for the anti CLOSING side, to-
day stated that petition will be filed
in the court Of appeals shortly asking
for q continuation Of the opinion.
This means that the present opinion
is regarded as incomplete, and the at
torneys for the losing side want other
questions passed on, which the court
neglected to pass on in the opinion
Just rendered.
One of these points, Attorney Har-
rison stated today, is that the ordi-
nance was improperly recorded. This
point was raised in the appeal, but the
court of appeals, he states. failed to
say whether the ordinance was prop
erly recorded or not, and will be asked
to decide the question and perhaps
others before the ordinance becomes
effective. Should the attorneys fail
to secure this additional consideration
there is still chance for rehearine
in the court of appeals. After al
these things are decided the enforce
meut of the ordinance will come up,
and not until then, according to the
attorneys. This means that it will
