Police Investigate an ARRAY That
Took Place Friday Nisht-BOth
Men COlOred.

William Walker, colored, living at PA
West Merrill street. was arrested yester-
day by Detectives Holtz and Bray charged
with shooting with intent to kill. Walker
shot MIN Davis. notorious colored man,
in the back, but his injuries are not con-
sidered serious The report of the affair
did not reach the police department until
yesterday morning.
All the negroes living in the vicinity of
Merrill street and Capitol avenue tried to
keep 1t secret. The shooting occurred in a
saloon at Merrill street and Capitol ave-
nue.. Walker was inside with a number
of other negroes drinking beer. Davis
walked in and, with knife in his hand,
threatened to cut every niger in the
place. He directed his attentions mainly
to Walker who made an effort to evade
Davis. Walker ran from the saloon to
his home a few doors away. There he
procured revolver and returned i'm search
of Davis. He entered the saloon by a
rear door and was met by Davis. When
the two men met Davis lunged toward
Walker with the knife. The latter backed
away and began shooting; The first three

Walker fired two more shots. both enter
ing Davis's back. Davis fell into the yard,
but was carried away by his friends. The
police at the time heard of a shooting
affair in that locality, but on investigation
were informed that Ii was a false report.
Davis is considered a tough character
by the police Within the past ten months
he has been in twelve different cutting
and shooting scrapes. In nearly, all of
them he was either cut badly or sue
known of Walker. 1t Is thought he shot
Davis in trying to protect himself.

Harrington and Decker.

New York Sun.
Some Hoosiers complain that the Hon.
Booth Harrington gets too much atten-
tion." They say that the Indiana Legisla-
ture contains other geniuses as worthy of
glory as he. For example, the Hon. Adolph
F. Decker. of Evansville, the youngest
member and ''the best dresser" Mr.. Deck
er changes his clothes four times a day
and has suit of clothes for every year he
has lived" He is only twenty-five, and his
stock OF clothes is only beginning. We see
no good reason why fashion should be
postponed to literature even in Indiana.
Too few persons have many four suits
of clothes; and of those too few, too few
are industrious enough TO change their toys
four times a day. 1t is the habit of lazy
and slovenly folks to jeer at persons who
take thought wherewith they shall be
clothed. Now, a dandy is useful for eco
nomic purposes. He keeps tailors. haber-
dashers. shoemakers, laundresses busy. He
is busy man himself. no matter how
skillfully he conceals his employments by
an affectation of Incidence. He does what
he can for art. And II pays the politician TO
be spruce. Mr.. Decker is on the right track,
and may become as distinguished as Mr..
Harrington.

Senator Fairbanks Will Acknowledge
His Reelection.

One of the most interesting events on the
legislative programme for this week Is the
joint session Of the Senate and House in the
Hall of Representatives tomorrow at
noon. at which time Senator Fairbanks
will address the General Assembly In ac-
acknowledgement of his reelection. Senator
and Mrs. Fairbanks left Washington for
Indianapolis yesterday afternoon, and
will arrive i'm the city some time to-day.
Washington advices state that close per-
sonal friends of Senator Fairbanks, who
have been permitted to see advance copies
OF the address he will deliver tomorrow,
pronounce il the best he has ever
prepared. This advance verdict arouses I'M
usual interest in the joint session, but the
mere fact that Senator Fairbanks Is to de-
liver an address on such an occasion would
of itself be sufficient to attract a large audi
ence of his friends and admirers from this
city and the State at large

There will be a meeting of the Prohibition
Alliance at the hall at New York and Ala
bama streets tonight to discuss pending
legislation along temperance lines. There
are two bills in which the members Of the
alliance are deeply interested, one that they
are supporting heart and soul and one that
they are fighting with equal vim. The first
is the Woods bill, prohibiting saloons within
one mile of the soldiers homes and the
second the Conway bill, repeating the
blanket remonstrance provisions of the
Nicholson law. The Prohibition state COM
mittee has appointed a legislative commit
tee that is looking after the lobbying on
these bills. and representatives of this COM
mittee will report tonight. Resolutions in
dorsing the Woods bill and denouncing the
Conway measure will be adopted.
