Serious Array in Roanoke.

was enacted 10 Roanoke yesterday even
ing when Charles R. Fishburne, a promi-
nent young banker, stabbed pr. +. c.
Lefew, a well-known young physician.
The difficulty took place in the yard OF
DIR. Letew's residence, in the most fash
ionable section of Roanoke, and was the
outcome of difficulty which Fishburpe
had had few minutes previous with
Victor Hoffman, the l2.year-old stepson
OF DIR. Lefew. Fishburne was walking
on the street, when young Hoffman
made a remark that was resented by
Fishburne, who slapped the boys face.
After furnishing the lad Fishburne went
to Lefew to offer an apology for striking
the lad. A quarrel followed, in which
Lefew is said to have assaulted Fish
burne, when the latter stabbed the doc
tor just below the breastbone, the knife
blade penetrating to the region of the
heart. The wounded man fell in dy-
ing condition in his yard. Fishburne
walked to his home, two blocks distant,
and telephoned for the chief of police,
he surrendering himself to that official.
He was arrested on warrant charging
him with ielonious cutting, and was
carried before Judge John W. Woods.

Democratic Estimate.

Chairman Cowherd, of the democratic
Congressional committee, issued satur-

House OF Representatives. He figured
out a democratic majority Of Ga. He
says as the situation stands at present,
the prospects are that the democrats will
carry 225 out OF the 386 districts in the
United States. Our gains in the east
will be due largely to the strength of the
national ticket. In the middle west
they will be due more particularly to
local dissensions in the republican ranks.
The long hold on patronage has bred
much trouble in republican districts, and
the democrats will profit correspond
ingly by reason OF it.
