serious Cutting Array at Roanoke.

Serious CuCelHS AAE8y az AsVAn0e
A fight in . barber shop at Roanoke
Saturday night resulted in three men
being injured, two of them being cut
and the third one, who. did the cuating,
being badly beaten up. The two cut
were brothers, both of whom came
from Missouri. They were E. A.
Amos, who was cut quite painfully on
the face, and Willard Amos. He was
injured more severely than his BROTH
err. being cut in the throat. 1t is said
that a standing collar was all that
saved his life. The one who did the
cutting was named William Jones, and
he was badly beaten up. He is ma
| tive Of Tennessee.
| The exact cause of the trouble Is mol
known here. It seems that all OF tne
parties concerned had been drinking
and were in the barber shop, when
row broke out among them.
After the fray, a call was sent "
Lake Charles for officers. Deput!
Sheriff Ben Hampton took the mid
night train and went there. II
arrested the two Amos boys and VII
Jones. Jones was later released OF
bond. The two Amos boys were locke'
up in the parish Jail at this place.
i ia not thought that the injuries o
either will prove dangerous. :

The baseball season of 1904, as far
as Welsh is concerned, was formally
inaugurated Saturday afternoon, Iowa
Station having come over to contest
diamond honors with the local team.
Although the game was played under
adverse circumstances, there having
been such high wind, the hundred
or more spectators were treated to an
interesting game of clean baseball in
which it required ten innings to decide.
J. r. Jones did the slab work for the
visitors and Welsh was the rubber
artist for the locals. Welsh went to
hat in the last half of the ninth with
the score tied. but three pop flies re-
tired the side without run. The 10
calls we're also unable to connect win
the sphere in the tenth, while Iowa
swatted the horsehide for total OF

BROADWAY TRAFFIC
BLOCKED BY FIRE
Breaks Out In the New York
Subway Now Building.
WAS HARD FIGHT FOR FiREMEN
Tunnel choked by Dense Volumes OF
Smoke-For a Time Fifty or More
Laborers Were In Dire PeriI-Tele.
phone Service Crippled. d.

New York, April 6.-For half ar
hour traffic on lower Broadway near
ST. Paups chapel, was blocked today
by small fire in the new subway, the
volume Of smoke that poured through
the few. openings to the street driv.
ing pedestrians away and making II
difficult for the firemen to work who
were called out in large force, because
of the location of the fire.
The telephone and telegraph ser.
vices were badly crippled as result.
The fire was started by the flaring
up of small banjo" lamp used by
the laborers in their underground
work, the burlap that covered some
pipes along the sides of the subway
catching fire, the blaze spreading to
the temporary timbering OF the tun.
mel. This was damp, and @ dense
volume Of smoke resulted, soon filling
all the nearby working Of the sub.
way and pouring out into the streets
above. The fire broke out near the
corner of Fulton street and Broadway,
where, beside st. Pauls chapel, Ia the
principal entrance to this section OF
the subway for workmen entering the
tunnel at that point, so that the smoke
shut off their usual means of egress
and for time so or more laborers
were penned in and In dire peril.
However, one block farther down
the street at the corner Of Dey street,
1t had been found necessary to open
the street and build a massive wooden
platform in place of the usual paving
A few minutes hard work with the
axes made an opening here and there
laborers were helped out to safety.
Through the regular opening into
the subway besides St. Paups chapel
and through openings made from The
cellars from the buildings adjoining
the subway, flood of water was pour
ed down on the smouldering fire and.
within half an hour the blaze was ex
tinguished and traffic on the street
soon afterward resumed.
Telegraph and telephone cables TN.
der the street were exposed to the
fierce heat Of the fire and the insulation
was quickly burned off, seriously Grip,
pling all communication. Six thou.
sand telephone wires in the Court.
land telephone exchange were put out
of business, and both telegraph com.
panies suffered communication be,

SCHEME OF RETRENcHMENrs.
Russia Will Devote "Free Balance" &c
War PURPOSES.


War Purposes.
st. Petersburg, April 6.-The scheme
of effecting retrenchments in the state
expenditure in consequence of the war
recently drawn up at a special confer.
ence presided over by Count SolSky
and sanctioned by the emperor, was
gazetted today.
1t is proposed to devote the "frea
balance" in the imperial treasury to
war purposes and to increase the
funds in the treasury by economics in
the budget OF 1904, especially in the
civil estimates The reductions which
will be made on the principle of ere
ating as little disturbance as possible
in public business and private inter
ests, will total $67,188,553, of which
upwards of $57,5O0,OOO falls upon the
budget of 1904.
The reduction of the regular credits
by $67,OO0,O0O, which will go to swell
the war fund falls the heaviest on the
railroad department, which loses alto
gether $36,000,000, including $25,O00,
600 for new roads. The church loses
at least $177,OO0, including s7,75O for
the Orthodox church at Seoul, Korea
The education department is a small
loser by $533,853, and the foreign Of
flee loses $67, ,164, of which s46,175 was
for the purchase of an embassy build
ing at Washington. The liquor mo-
nopoly effects an economy of S6,5O0,.
000,, mostly by cancelling the indem.
nifty to liquor dealers. Agriculture
and mining loses $1,5OO,OOO, the new
department of mercantile loses S45,.
146 and the non-participation of Rus.
sia in the st. Louis exposition saves
$4,000.
