A VAIN SACRIFICE.

marty Of Young Delaware Indians, in post holiday
celebration in this city last Tuesday night fell out
among themselves and resorted blows in the settle
ment of their differences The row started between
willy Longbone and George Bullette. The latter was
decidedly the worse liquor and the odds were in favor
of Mr.. Longbone Julius Fox, brothern-law Of Bull
ete fearing that his knsman getting the worst OF
IT, ssbutted inr and the vaorous LOdgbone decamped
When his adversary fled Buette still thrsting for gore,
turned upon his champion and proceeded to fight it out
with him. Fox is noted not only for his height but Ior
the length of his hair which he plated In two long
braids Fox was very proud and vain Of his hirsute
adornment which represented the growth of over ten
years. When the row began between him and Bullette
he was decidedly at disadvantages Bulette lay hold OF
one of the long dangling brad and almost scalped his
brother-in-aw at the first pass Julius reproaehed
George with foul play and called for an amistce until
he could visit barber and be placed war footing by
having his highly priced hanks of hair trimmed down to
fighting length When this was done, Mr. Fox declared
he would make his adversary think that he (Buette)
had beeu fred against slab Of arpor plate from
thirteen-inch gun.
TO this plan the willy Mr. Bullette consented And
while the raven locks Of julius fell sacrifice to the bar
bers shears George eered through the window and made
fun of julius But before the shearing had been COM
peted George got into his buggy and t out" for home
When Fox discovered the treachery Of his relative
the language he used of kind impossible to repro
duce in common everyday type However. the subject
of it reduced to English was that George triple
banked scheme and that he had better stay hid back
in the brush until julius hair grew out Mr.. Fox was
not only ncensed he apparently greyed to think
that the sacrifice of his hair had been made in yan.

THE coMarrrrEEMANsH1P FIGHT.

Some interesting developments in the republican ma
tonal committeeman fight are coming to light few
days since it looked though Pny Soper would be the
only candidate and that his election would be merely
matter FORM 1t does not appear safe state
ment would be that least two candidates will be
i'm the race before the month ends and the probabilities
are that there will be threecornered fight Joseph Nc
Coy has been mentioned also candidate, but from
his recent letter to Sope would that he has
as vet placed himself in the hands of his friends who
anxious to push him for the place In this connection
might properly be mentioned that Mccoy has been crit
csed by Sopers friends for giving publicity to letter
written by Soper to him, which marked pe soma" "
betrayal of personal confidence certainly reprehen
sible but the question is was this letter confidence
agreed to by both parties? A confidence is much
contract as marriage VOW and in order to be considered
binding should receive the unqualified consent to its
terms of the parties interested. This whole matter is
republican family row that concerns us only in much
as it becomes mysterious in intrigue and political schem
ing and strategy, but since this paper party the
publicity given the correspondence between Soper and
Mccoy it is but just to the latter that the same readers
be apprsed Of the fact that Sope authorized by
Mccoy to repose a confidence IN him. Sopers friends
have become alarmed over report the effect that the
convention called for Okmugee on January 2s in addi
tion to passing resolutions endorsing the peceneal alb
sorption policy, would conduct sideshow wherein
brand new national committeeman candidate would be
exhibited This however do not believe is part Of
the program At this time the paramount subject for

er, gave way. The engine and cars
passed over, but were drawn back
ward into the abyss and upon the
other cars, the light engine and cab
Dose, which was falling, piling in on
top of the train of wreckage.
CASTOR Meares, the engineer of the
passenger train, escaped with some
bruises and a painful scalp wound.
He said that just before the engine
had swept entirely clear of the trestle
he felt it sinking, but the impetus
carried the engine and cars across ex-
cept the frst-class passenger car and
the Pullman, clear of the yawning
gulf which was left when half the
bridge collapsed, but the engine and
cars were swerved from their course
to the right, tearing the rail loose
from it's fastenings and hurting the
entire train upside down over an en-
bankment to the meadow, about 30
feet below.
A scene horrible beyond description
ensued. The accounts of the survivors
are terrible When the train went
crashing over the embankment, every
light went ont, passengers were thrown
heads over heels against the sides Of
the coaches, bleeding and bruised.
AS the scrambling and shouting
went on in the dark, above the noises,
a brakeman, with his head half way
out window, was heard to shout:
my God! The freight train is com
ing upon u.s."
In less than a minute the freight
engine and caboose came whizzing
along the tracks, struck the open
space where the bridge had fallen AMI
plunged it's way through the passen,

THINK ARMY is SAFE.
ST. Petersburg Not Alarmed over Fe-
treat of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Hiatus in the Dispatch Line.

There was no news Of any import
from the Far East Wednesday, either
from Russian or Japanese sources
For the world-watchers of the great
tragedy the curtain was temporarily
dropped and all was conjecture. Not
even an expression Of opinion ema'
mated from japanese sources, but
from st. Petersburg it was indicated
that the authorities are confident the
critical stage of the Russia retreat is
past, and that Kuropatkin is no long
er in danger of losing any part of his
forces to the pursuing japanese.
The Russian commander has arrived
at Mukden, and it is given out in St.
Petersburg that the bulk of his army
is now rear there, while dispatch
from Mukden to the Associated Press,
filed Tuesday, stated that the main
Russian army was pushing north
ward and evacuating that place.
The general staff at St. Petersburg
is not displaying great anxiety ovel
the alarmist reports that General XII
ropatkin is In serious danger of being
cut off, but If they had any informa
ton from the front Wednesday they
have not revealed it. The members
also decline to say, even if they know.
whether General Kuropatkin purposes
taking h S army north OF Mukden
An officer of the general staff said
to the Associated Press wednesday
night:
Il believe it is safe to say that
General Kuropatkin's army is now ont
of danger Our advices since Monday
indicate that the fighting is of aA. in
significant character, and l do not pc.
lieve the tired japanese troops are
capable of seriously threatening the
line OF retreat. The greatest difficulty
our army is now having to contend
is the terrible roads resulting from
the rains of Monday and Tuesday.
Our information is that the bulk of
the baggage has already passed
through Nukden. This is the usual
procedure in the case of any retreat"
Kuropatkins movements, after all
must depend chiefly upon the tactics
of the Japanese, with whom lies the
initiative If the Japanese continue to
press north in the hope Of cutting on
the Russians and bringing them 20
bay, then Kuropatkin will be obliged
to move north to circumvent them.
But both armies are already terri
bly, exhausted, and if they again come
into grip the result will depend large
Iy upon which of them is able to
throw the most fresh reserves into the
fight"
If there is a race northward, it is
apparent that the greatest danger win
come at the narrow defile of Tickling,
