Washington, Feb. "a mild sen.
sation was produced in the senate

a local hotel, who testified that Ed.
ward Hines, the millionaire lumber

Neoro and White Fioht in Street.

Pass to the other side of the ave-
nue., ladies' these men are fighting"
A negro and a white man battled
teen minutes last evening, without
any police interference whatsoever. A
throng of men were attracted to the
scene and stood by, watching the
fight, but nc policeman arrived until
long after the fighters had ended their
bloody encounter. The fight occurred
on the sidewalk on the north side of
Norfolk avenue, between Fifth and
Sixth streets.
The fight started when Fred John
son, a negro, met his former employer,
r. E. People, one of the owners of the
People barber shop, and struck People
in the mouth without warning. Pep
pie was prevailed upon not to fight
but when Johnson followed up his
blow with an array of vile names, the
white man used his fists. And for a
quarter of an hour brutal battle en-
sued, without single policeman to
stop the proceedings or to disperse
the mob.
Both fighters are laid up today.
Chief of Police Marquardt says he is
searching for the men and that he
may make an arrest.
The police are still in the dark as
to details of the fight. A half hour
after the battle, Chief Marquardt said
he understood a couple of negroes had
been quarreling and that they almost
got into fight
After the fight had proceeded ten
minutes, each man slashing savagely
at the others face, the negro weaken
ed and begged for quarter. After the
| fight the men shook hands.
! Johnson IS one of the largest ne
groes in town and it was because he
insulted a customer in Peoples bar
Der shop that he was released last
week. He had boosted that he would
get" People and, though People was
much the lighter man, the negro sus-
tanned considerably the worse end OF
the encounter. He was severely pun
| ished and bruised.

HARMON AGAINST INITIATIVE.
But It Goes into the Ohio Constitution
Just the Same


Columbus, o., Feb. 9.-After hearing
an address at noon by Gov. Harmon,
in which he took a strong position
against Incorporating a clause provid-
ing for statewide initiative and refer
endum in the new constitution, sup
porters of the proposed initiative and
referendum plank won a decisive vic
tory in the constitutional convention a
few hours later.
The governor in his address said the
idea of direct legislation still is in an
experimental stage and that Ohio
would do well at least to wait until it
has been given thorough trial in other
states. He defined his own position
on the subject as a whole as being in
the attitude of the man from Mis-
souri,"
The declaration of the governor
came in the nature of a sensation to
the supporters of the initiative and ref
erendum delegates in the convention,
coming as it did at a time when that
body was able to take up for consid-
GRAFTON resolution which had been
introduced by Delegate Halfhill of
Allen county. The Halfhill resolution,
backed by the opponents of the mia
tive and referendum, proposed to cen
sure President Bigelow for having Sc
cured pledges from many members to
abide by caucus action on that sub
ject.
Following the address of Gov. Har-
mon, and at the close of an acrimoni-
Gus debate, the convention tabled the
resolution, the vote standing 60 to As.

The Funeral of Mrs. Sisson.

Fremont Tribune: Solemn and i'm
pressive were the funeral services held
at the First Methodist church Tuesday
forenoon for Mrs. +. NJ. Sisson, au-
thoress, wife of the Methodist pastor
Rev. John +. PouCher, pastor of the
Methodist church of Stanton and an
intimate friend of the family, preached
the sermon, which was a beautiful
tribute to a good life. Upwards of
twenty-five ministers of the city and
North Nebraska Methodist conference
were present The church was filled
with Borrowing Fremont friends. A
bank of flowers, including many set
pieces which came from Norfolk, Ne
braska City and other cities where
Mrs. Sisson had resided, offered a
mute testimony for others who were
not able to be present.
The funeral, which was held at
1890 o'clock, was conducted by Rev.
Edwin Hislop of Omaha, presiding ell
der of the district. Aside from Rev.
Poucher, several Methodist divines
participated in the opening exercises,
these being Rev. J. T. Boutwell, of
South Omaha, Rev William Espln of
Arlington, Rev. G. w. Abbott of Trim
ity church, Omaha, and Rev. E.
Schaeffer of Beemer.
Seldom is the tribute of such a gath.
ering and such an impressive cere.
mony paid the departed. The depth
of love for Mrs. Sisson and the mem
bers of her family was manifested on
every side.
Mr.. Poucher in his sermon spoke
eloquently and with feeling as one
who had known Mrs Sisson intimate
~ for a long period. He spoke from
the standpoint of minister who had
been the pastor of the Sisson family
during the time Rev. SissOn was en-
gagged as the presiding elder in the
north Nebraska district. The acquain
lance began shortly after Mrs. Sisson's
first book made its appearance, wher
Mr.. Poucher, as a young minister was
deeply impressed with its helpful
story. He referred to the splendid aC
tivities of Mrs. SiSson in church worl
for which she found time, notwith
standing the duties required by {
large family All departments o.
church endeavor felt the helpful toucl
of her hand, but more particularly hel
devotion ran to foreign missions, t
which she had, while young girl, re
solved to give her best efforts. Tit
speaker mentioned the remarkabl,
beauty of Mrs. Sisson's home life
Wherever she was her presenc,
