TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, Interesting and Entertaining Fea- ures of Saturday's Star.

Deadly Dispute Over the Comparative Merits of Candidates. A special from Middlesboro’, Ky., says: News reached here of a fatal encounter in Letcher county yesterday in which Will- iam Harrison, along witn his sons, Henry and James, all of whom were very strong partisans of John D. White, the independ- ent republican candidate for Congress in the eleventh district against the regular nominee, D. C. Coison, engaged in a deadly fight with William Morgan and his soi Caleb and Thomas, all supporters of Col- son. ‘The Morgans were going to mill and met the Harrisons in the road. They began their old quarrel over the merits of White and Colson, and soon began shvoting at each other.’ The battle lasted several min- utes, and over a score of shots were fired. Old man Morgan fell, mortally wounded, at at the first fire. When all was over the two Morgan boys lay dead and the two Harrison boys were probably fatally wounded. Old man Morgan fs dying. Harrison, the father, escaped without a wound, though there were several bullet holes in his clothes, The older Harrison surrendered to the authorities, and stated that the Morgans brought on the difficulty, and that he and his sons fired in self-de- fense. There was no connection whatever between this affair and Colson being mis- taken tn the railway train by an angry father, supposing him to be the man who eloped with his daughter. Mr. J. T. D. Pyles’ New Store. Mr. J. T. D. Pyles, the grocer, who has several establishments in the city, has completed the construction of a new store in the northeast to accommodate his in- creased business. The new store room will be opened to the public tomorrow. The new store fs located at 11 7th street north- esst, and has a frontage of 23 feet, with a4 depth of 115 feet; two stories high 1d large cellar, with a public alley side and rear, and is perhaps as well adapted to the petal grocery business as any store in the city.

Bowen, the young men who were held in the Police Court yesterday on charges of forgery in connection with the alleged directory swindle, as stated In an- cther column, are in jail, having been un- able to give hail. While they were held for the grand jury on a charge of forgery, it is ely that they will be indicted for al- leged conspiracy. Inspector Hollinberger has communicated with the authorities of several cities to learn, if possible, some- thing of the identity of the prisoners, and today he received a telegram in response to an inquiry made of Superintendent Linden of the Philadelphia police department. This telegram reads: “Superintendent Linden advises us to wire you that Bateman and Bowen, direc- tory swindlers, are fraudulently using our name. Will send representative to prose- cute if nec 3 wire at once. “Trades Publishing Company, John Kendrick, president, 113 North i2th street.” Inspector Hollinberger answered the tele- gram and will have a representative of the Philadelphia company come here as a wit- ress. THE MANAGER GONE. A Colored Prima Donna and Her Company in Trouble. More than a thousand people composed the audience that greeted the colored prima conna, Mrs. Flora Batson Bergen, in che Bergen Star Concert last evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M street, and everything proceeded smoothly until the beginning of the second part, when there was some delay. Mrs. Bergen ex- plained that Mr, her husband, they were now practically . y separated, and that she was there simply as a paid artist. Sha Pluckily determined to sing out her part of the program whether she got her money or not. The applause following this announcement in- duced the other singers to follow suit, and the concert was finished by the card.

Judge Miller in the Police Court today again handled the tramp question without gloves when he sentenced Edward Fisher and Carl Schultz, Stalwart white men, to six months each in the workhouse for vagrancy and three months each additional in jail for assault. The men have been guests at the municipal lodging house, and last evening they stood by as spectators while another lodger was loading a wagon with wood. Not content with merely look- ing they interfered with the labors of the industrious one until he was compelled to shove one of the hoboes aside. And then the trouble began. The man at work waa assaulted in no gentle manner, bricks and clubs being free- ly used. Foreman Wilson of the lodging house attempted to restore peace, and a knife was drawn by one of the men. ‘The pair then made off, but were overtaken by Policeman Oriani ‘and locked up at the first precinct station. “This shows the character of this class of men,” remarked the court. “If they had asked a citizen for money and it had been refused they would not have hesi- tated a moment to cut him. I want you people to distinctly understand that this is no place for members of your lique to come. You'll find the District of Columbia mighty unpleasant if the disposition of such cases is left to me.” The court there- upon imposed the sentences stated. GENERAL CURTIS TALKS Opposed to an Extra Session of the Fifty- Fifth Congress, Thinks a Revenue Bill Can Be Passed This Winter—Conservative View of the Cuban Question, General N. M. Curtis, the “hero of Fort Fisher,” who represents the second New York district in the House of Representa- tives, is strongly opposed to an extra ses- sion of the Fifty-fifth Congress. ‘here may be nothing done at this ses- sion beyond the passage of appropriation he said, “but, in my judgment, there ought to be provisions made for more rev- enue at once. I do not know what will be decided on, but I do know that a revenue bill can be passed, notwithstanding the at- titude of the silver Senators, and it ought to be done. The law could be put on the statuft books before the middle of Janu- ary.” “Would this interfere with the passage of a tariff bill by the next Congress?” was asked. “Not at all. The republicans could go on and prepare a good bill and pass it at the next Congress, taking their time about it and doing it right. [ am opposed to an extra session of the next Congress. If it is understood that there is to be an extra ses- sion it will disturb busi: 's all this winter and all next summer. That is a thing to be avoided. We can and should provide revenue at the coming The Cuban Question. General Curtis takes a very conservative view of the Cuban question. “I do not think,” he said, “that anything will be dene calculated to provoke hostilities be- tween this country and Spain. I have no doubt that Cuba is going to be free, but there is nothing for this country to do un- der existing circumstances. Nothing © could do weuld help Cuba, unless we h war with Spain, and nothing has yet hap- pened to provoke war. “I do not see how we can interfere with the mode of warfare practiced in Cuba. Everybody knows that war is cruel end often barbaric. Neither the Spanish nor the Cubans are of the race that make war with that calmness and regard for human- ity which is peculiar to the more northern people. We cannot change their nature. I think the Cubans will fight sut their own salvation and will be free, but I do not think either the President or Congress will do anything further in the matter as long as conditions remain as they are. I have no information as to the intention of Mr. Cleveland as regards his me we to Con- gress, but it seems improbable that he will indicate any change of policy on the part of the administration.” ——_—_ o.__ SHERIDA Unveiling of Mulvany's Painting in Philadelphia Tonight. The reception which is to be tendered Mrs. Philip H. Sheridan in Philadelphia this evening, on the occasion of the un- veiling of Mulvany’s heroic painting, en- titled eridan’s Ride,” promises to be a remarkably interesting affair. Mrs. Sheri- dan went over to Philadelphia today, ac- companied by her father, Gen. Daniel H. Rucker, late quartermaster general of the army, and her son, Philip H. Sheridan. The party will be met at Broad street station by Capt. S. S. Bingham, L S.

The parlors where the reception will be held will be decorated with lags and bun ing, and the silken colors of the corp brigades and divisions. The feature of the decorations will be the colors of Gen.

K. Funk, editor of the Voice, the prohibition organ, who testified Wednesday before the Raines committee, in New York, It is Anserted asked yesterday that he be given the benefit of a correction. He had been quoted as saying that there are in Brooklyn 1,800 so-called Raines hotels, which are conducted on the “no questions asked” principle. He had intended to say that there are S00 such hotel: J. H. Weyburn of the Bowery ‘told the committee that he knew of various “fake” hotels in New York which were the resort of disreputable people, and that under the Rain law there had been an increase of Sunday drinking to the extent of 50 per cent, adding greatly to the pov- erty and distress ——— Young Burglars. Detective Lacy and Precinct Detective Barnes of the second precinct have suc- ceeded in discovering the robbers of the show cases in front of the Boston Varie: Store several days ago, when a quantity of valuable articles were stolen, and Ar- thur Washington and Frank Moore will probably be among those who will have to answer for the theft. These young col- ored men are already in custody and are in jail serving time for petit larceny, as well as waiting for the grand jury to indict them in a case of burglary. They wer rested last week and given a hearing, and since then the ollicers have recovered a quantity of the stolen property where one and perhaps both of them had put it away. Washington has confessed his guilt. in acdition to the robbery mentioned the offti- cers have recovered goods the proceeds of a robbery on 7th street some time ago, and they think that when the investigation is ended there will be several charges of burglary preferred against them, —+ Nothing to Say. Edward Nugent was in the Police Court today, charged with disorderly conduct. The testimony was to the effect that Nu- gent last evening visited the residence of Morgan H. Lester and rendered himself obnoxious. Policeman Bateman and Les- ter made statements to that effect. “Do you want to say anything?” asked the court of the defendant. “Nothing,” was the curt reply. “I real- ize that the words of the policeman wAi be accepted as Gospel truth, no matter what I might say.” “Five dollars or fifteen days.” ———_. Hanna and the Ball Concerning the report going the rounds to the effect that the inaugural ball may possibiy be omitted at the coming inaugu- ration of President-elect McKinley in March, Chairman M. A. Hanna, who has charge of the arrangements pertaining to such matters, said yesterday: “I think the inaugural ball will be held as usual. It has become a time-honored cus- tom in connection with the inaugural cere- monies, and there is no reason why it should be omitted now.” — The Vote of Kent County, Del. The superior court of Delaware yesterday rendered a decision calling upon the board of canvass of Kent county to convene De- cember 8 and recount the vote of that county, or show cause why this should not be done not later than December 12.
