Editor Tribune: Permit me to say a word iu commendation of Col. Pace and his administration of the penitentiary. It is no smal! matter to success- fully manage such an institation. There are many antagonistic iuter- ests to reconcile. many yexed ques- tions to decide which tries to the utmost the firmness, the impartiality and patience of the warden. Col. Pace seems, so far to be suc- the council was a surprise to us, as we had no intimation that a proposi- tion of this nature would be pre- sented. However it is a laudable enterprise in Col. Wade, and we as sure him that he can count on the hearty support and co-operation of the Trvgs in any undertaking of the kind that will be of benefit to the town, and in this matter of building a street railroad for this city we hope to see it a success. “The Blood is Life,” Runs the old saying, and everything | that ever makes part of any organ of the body must reach its place therein through the blood.

Sedalia, Mo., March 4.—A terrible hand to-hand struggle for life took place this afternoon in one of the | railroad offices in the second story j of the Union depot in this city. | The combatants were W. H. Hogg ja clerk in the office of H. G. Clark superintendent of the Missouri Pa- cific, and P. H. Haley, a commercial traveler whose home isin Chilicothe, Mo. Haley called at Superintendent Clark's office and asked for a private conversation with Hogg, who is 23 years old and of an excellent repu- tation. Haley and Hogg went toa vacant office, when the former eharg- ed the clerk with criminal intimacy with Mrs. Haley. Hogg denied the charges and hot words passed be- | tween the men when Haley drew a | revolver and tried to shoot Hogg. | The latter grappled with Haley and a desperate struggle for the possession of the gun. Hogg, al- though the smaller of the two, final- ‘ly wrested the pistol froin Haley's hands and used the butt us a means of defense. A second struggle fol- jlowed and Hogg yelled for help. Just as assistance was coming Hogg obtained control of the weapon again and had Haley at his mercy. Ho fired a wild shot at Haley, who plunged through a window and fell a distance of 25 feet to the ground. When picked up he was uncon- scious and bathed in blood from five long scalp wounds. His right hip was broken and he suffered con- cussion of the brain from the fall. Haley's wife was Miss Belle Carter, a former society belle. Haley is about 26 years old and his father is the pastor of a Kansas City church. = is in a serious condition andvnay ie. | Itis very proper that vice-presi- dent Morton should be banqueted by democrats and republicans without regard to party.
