The men had not met since th publication re ferred to. There was an auction sale of a bankruptcy stock of good In the Court House and while this was In progress a large crowd gathered, though no person noticed the coining together of HathfTe and Jackson. The tlrst indication of trouble came in the shape of a ecullle which occur red as toon a the two men got eye on eucb other, ' The auctioneer hushed hi voice while bystanders rushed in on the combatant! and I n led them apart, tome persona seizing intlirTe and others grasping Jackson, hepa tated by a distance ol half a doen step) and each struggling for ljberty, both men drew their revolvers. At that moment Katllffe, who was held nearest the door, was Jerked outside and as lie passed through nackwarde he liredjtwice, but his aim wet unsteady bv reason of the lerk which drew bitn out. tine bullet struck the door and the other hit William Nautid ere in the groin.

Fearing thai the quorum might disappear before to morrow the Committee on Rules hastily le.mrted a special order providing that de bute should cease mid a vote be taken on the bill at the end of two hours. '.ipon this the previous question was ordered bv a quorum and one to apare. Speaker Orisp voting to make litre of the necrsmrv 170 votes.

At Chicago Judge (jrosncnp of the United State Court discharged the rule on the railroad otllciul compelling them lo answer questions in tbe Federul grand jury Investi gation of the workings of the Interstate law. Tbe otlicialt had refused to answer questions regaiduig their rate cutting and by this ruling of tbe Judge the interstate law has to a large extent, apparently, been rendered practically valueless. Railroads in general and Kaetern lines In particular, are dancing on what they con sider th grave cf the interstate commerce law. Judge Urostcup't decision ha in.de them believe that the luw is a dead letter, and they are not troubling themselves uboul it. The Kaatern line will take up the ques tion of freight and pattencer pool at their meeting in New Y'ork und no impending legislation bearing upon ill interstate com merce law will be heeded. The only thing now standing in the way of forming the pools are the receivership roads.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE- Stocks Are Being Exhausted and Feopl Are Beginning toTake Bisks. Tl O. Dun A Co. 'a Weekly Review ol Trade. New York, says: With no more Jellnlte information than a week ago re tarding the outcome of the financial oi revenue disputes, perhaps more people inv come tothe belief that the end will at wei their wishes Certainly more nre tiling limltated risks in business, especially in stocks A more substantial bai Is the slowly growing demand for goods, caused by rraiituil exhaustion of attck held by dealers and this bus further enlarged the working force in manufactures. The iss nge of tlie seigniorage bill has not hud me lo produce much efleel, but is not finan cially rea'tiiritig. More works have resumed or Increased hands or hours than have stopped or reduc ed, but numerous reductions in wages con tinue to lessen the purchasing power of thosentwurk. In all brandies of the woolen manufacture the demand Is yet lar below the usual mark. In three chief markets tbe wool sales have been 4.KI1.200 pounds for the week against 0,108,200 last year. Continued weakness appears In prices of metal products, notwithstanding some In crease in actual business. Kven in the Pittsburg region little over half the lorce Is employed and only 67 per cent, of the Con nellsville cote ovens are yet In operation. A few more furnaces are In blast; Southern pig Is weaker and A.0U0 tons Southern war mils huve been taken by Knglisli holders, who now have 4"), ooo tons. There are beavv transactions In lake ore at Pittsburg, nnd it is said that with ore at 2.7,'), coke at If) cent and wuge reduced 20 per cent, tunny furnaces can muke Iron at a profit even at present prices. Secmaiive market are more active and ttocks stronger: railroads having advanced u average of 70 cents and trust stocks 2t mils. The withdrawals of deposits from New Y'ork savings banks of lute have been unusually large and Ibeas banks have gen erally raised their rate of interest to 4 per ,'eiit. The most encouraging feature of the week's record is the continued decrease In number and importance of failures. For the rest week the failures have been 204 in the United Stale against 20ti last, year and 12 in Canada against 4S last year, scarcely any being of much Importance. THE LIBERTY LIGHT. Cncle Sam Want to.iurn It Over to Some Fatrlotio Society. It la very probable that the Government will soon transfer to the Hons of the Amer lean Revolution or some kindred patriotic society the privilege of maintaining the beacon light on tbe Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. The Lighthouse Hoard, from whose appropriation (bit light hat been maintained, strongly protested to tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury against this year ly expense of llo.ooo being taken from their already Insufficient appropriation and recommend that us the light from a pracll' cal point of view wus useless it should be discontinued. It was then that a number of the patri otic societies of New York proposed to relieve the government ol this expense and asked that they be given control of the statue on condition that tbey maintain the light. This will likely soon be done. It is said by persons who aie in a posit'on to know that already the statue aliow alarm ing signs of dissolution. The thin venire ol the aiatue it already rutted through in tuuiiy planes, to tbut one can readily see to ascend the stair without the aid of artifi cial light, lu order to preserve tbe statue and arrest the ravages of rust the Light house Hoard has been compelled lo paint the stutue and as this has detracted some what iroin its appeurunce tbe (vault hut been uiiMuilsl'uctory. It Is not believed that even 'with the ex cellent care the Lighthouse Knar I ha bestowed upon the statue it can hardly be expected lo lust more than 10 or 13 years longer. The society which seeks to re'lieve the government of the expense of main taining the heacon now run a ferry line to ltedloe a island and have already accu nu lated about 00.000, which it ia willing to expend in replacing the electric llgut plant, whivn ia nearly worn out, and iu main taining the lights Indefinitely. .
