Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Atlanta, Ga., August 25.—A serious
cutting affray occurred at a house of ill
fame about midnight last night which mnv
cost Bart Wall his life. He is a young man
who runs on the Central railroad and who
Is well known here. The affair is shrouded
in mystery, at least so far as the liamns of
the parties who did the cutting are Con
cerned. There were several difficulties,
in which a number of young men were
■engaged, all occurring at the same place
within an hour and a half. This morning
Recorder Anderson held quite a levee, but
nobody was connected with the cutting.
The case was postponed until
to-morrow morning to enable
the prosecution to furtfier investigate the
affair, and also to see what will be the re
sult of young Wall’s wounds. He is lying
in a critical condition at Joy street hospi
tal. and will probably not live through the
day. He has several bad cuts, but the one
which imperils his life is a horrid gash in
ills right breast which penetrates the lung
Alf. Crater, of pedestrian fame, U. W.
Brooks and a man named Ellison are held
in connection with the affair, and the re
sult of the hearing to-morrow is awaited
with interest.
Later.—Bart Wall died from his wounds
*nd a jury was empanelled at the Joy
street hospital this afternoon. Several
witnesses were examined and the hearing
was adjourned till 10 o’clock to-morrow.
The only important testimony adduced
was that of Joe Bugg, a negro hackman,
who was in the hack in front of the
bagnio where the difficulty occurred. He
testified to a difficulty between several par
ties in the house, which was resumed on
the sidewalk in front of the house. One
man was struck down by the fence, and a
scuffle ensued upon the ground. The man
on top said, as he got up to run away :
“Damn you : I’ve fixed you now.”
This man he recognized as Ellison. The
man who was underneath he did not
recognize when he ran off, but says he ran
into the street in which Bart Wall was
found afterwards. There were a number
of young men in the party when the diffi
culty occurred, but they have not been
identified, and all the suspected parties
are reticent., When the jury adjourned
this afternoon a detective was detailed to
work up the case, and have all the wit-*
nesses present to-morrow morning. An
autopsy will also be-had then.

TACKLING THE SAMS.
A Bitter Attiirk on Sum Jones mid Sum Small, j
Cincinnati, August 23.—One of the fea
tures of the forthcoming exposition will be
a big street parade, its purpose being to
attract visitors from the interior. 'I lie
marshalis a man of energy and has ap- j
pointed a numerous staff, comprised oi
prominent citizens of all classes. Among
those whom he lias selected are the evan
gelists, Ham Jones and 8am Small, who
iiave proved good advertising cards ai
numerous camp meetings. It appears that
the assignment of these gen’lemon to a
place in the procession was a mistake, the
Volks Freund, the leading German daily, |
of this morning says:
“The grand marshal of the exposition
parade (Capt. A. H. Mattox) lias in ins
otherwise commendable zeal for the good
cause had the misfortune to invite tiiose
crazy pulpit clowns, the ‘Rev.’ Sam Jones
and the ‘Iiev.’ -Sam Small, who are just
now infesting the vicinity oi Cincinnati
and recruiting for the Longview insane
asylum, to serve as special adjutants, cotli
have signified their acceptance, and they
will, it is said, ride at the head oi the pro
cession on either side of the grand mar
shal. Whether the project will really be
carried out of whether Capt. Mattox,when
he finds out what we communicate below,
will make a change in the .programme we .
cannot predict; but we will say in all se
riousness to every German-Amerlcan ivbo
has been allotted to the staff of the grand
.marshal that he will degrade himsell and
.his family if he trots behind the above
named individuals in the parade. One of
these, namely, the ‘Rev.’ Sam Jones, m a
recent so-called sermon in Urbana, Ohio,
gave utterance to the following low and
V *“^r5mQermaiis are trying to take this
country, and the question fur you people
to settle is, Shall we turn this uountry oyer
to the devil, the Dutch, and the dun cow ?
1 hope the day will come when we preach
ers will take hold of these things and
thunder them from the pulpit like hell
fire.’
“The above was uttered with a full seuse
oi his responsibility by Sam Jones, and the
utterances and opinions of Sam Small are
entirely of the same stripe, and honorable
Germaii-Amerlciins are expected to march
behind such shameless iellows in the pa
rade. Bah! The Germans, therefore,
belong between the devil and the dirtv
cow? This is the opinion publicly ex
pressed of the designated leaders of the
procession, the‘Rev.’Sam Jones and the
‘Kev.’lSam Small.
“In the list of persons named on the
grand marshal’s staff published yesterday
there are dozens of names of our most dis
tinguished German citizens. Will these
gentlemen lower themselves to serve as
the followers ot these men In the proces
sion? We doubt it, or rather we regard it
as impossible, and the German public may
expect that they will Immediately otter
the alternative to Capt. Mattox either to
desist from the project of having these
miserable circus preachers participate in
the procession or to give up the idea of co
operation on the part of the Germans.”
Capt, Mattox said to-day that upon in
quiry he had found that the utterance of
the Volks Freund expressed the opinion
of Germans generally. He said he had
forwarded the invitations to Sam Jones
and Sam Small to serve on his stall', and he
was at a loss how to remedy the matter.
THE ENEMY AT HER GATES.
Irrliinil Kri'ji, Kiiirlaml from Tnkiiu a Li-aJinir
Part In European Affairs.
New York Herald.
The landlords in many places feel exas
perated against the nationalist tenantry,
and at the same time are inspired with new
courage by the advent of a conservative
ministry. I have no doubt they will en
deavor to enforce with all the rigor of an
unpitying law what they have been taught
so long to regard ns their rights. Under
such conditions it is utterly impossible to
repress all outrage in Ireland. Parnell may
do his best, Davitt may do his best, the
land league may do its best to maintain
order over the country. General order
will be maintained. The voice of Parnell
and the league will be listened to, but here
and there disosder will be inevitable and
irrepressible, born as it is of men’s natural
passions, of men’s unnatural sufferings.
The result is, the government will next
season try to bring m a coercion bill. What
then? Then, if the secession liberals stand
by their promises to resist coercion with
out remedial measures, the tories will go
out or will have to apply their minds be
forehand to the task of devising remedial
measures. Duly one remedial measure is
worthy of considering, and that is home
rule. Will the tories take that jump? Ou
the whole, I am inclined to think they
will. There is no way of keeping long in
office without settling the Irish question.
I am disposed to think the tories are de
termined to keep long in office if they pos
sibly can.
Some men, whose judgment I highly
respect, are of the opinion that the con
servatives will divert the attention of the
country from home politics by finding an
excuse for engaging in a foreign war.
Well, if they want such an excuse they
have it ready in their hands in the papers
about Batoum and Russia just laid before
parliament. Russia simply snubs our late
foreign secretary, and tells him the Rus
sian government is alone to judge whether
Russia has kept or broken her engage
ments; so if it is the tory cue to fight they
have got their cue now. But I do not be
lieve the wildest tory is inclined to bring
on a war with Russia while the Irish ques
tion is still unsettled.
Several years ago Bismarck said to an
American statesman, who told me the
story: “England is counted out of Euro
pean politics while Ireland remains as an
enemy at her gates.” Gladstone saw this.
Among other things he would have turned
the enemy at the gate into a friend. It he
had had his way that grand result would
have been accomplished. But even the
tories must see the danger of that enemy
at the gate. They must turn him into a
friend or must take good care not to get
into a quarrel with an enemy outside the
gate. ^

An llltclliei'lit Juror.
There is an American story of a juror in
a trial for murder in one of the backwoods
settlements of the far west. Great diffi
culty had been experienced in getting a
jury; eleven jurors had at last been sworn
in, and there remained only one man of !
the panel. He was a small, lean, lank fei- 1
low with a shrewd face and an uncouth
demeanor, and bis apparel seemed to sho w |
that never before had he been within i
sight or sound ot civilization. He was |
asked the usual questions as to whether he |
had formed anv opinions about the case,
whether he had any prejudice against the
prisoner,or whether he was conscientiously
opposed to capital punishment. To ail
these questions he returned a decided
negative. The judge and the counsel for i
the prosecution and for the defence did 1
not any of them specially like the mail’s |
manner, but it was late and jurors were j
scarce, and so he was accepted. In accord
ance with au old form surviving strangely 1
in out-of-the-way places, he was set before [
the alleged murderer and the judge said: !
“Juror, look upon the prisoner; prisoner, |
look on the juror." When this command |
was given, the little man leaned forward
and scanned the culprit carefully from
head to foot for some moments; then he
raised his head and turned to the judge
and said, in a firm and solemn voice: “Yes,
iudge, I think he is guilty!”—Saturday

Albany Argur.
ADropos of a short visit that tfcepreai-
qeui will uiukc la Albany, the story-teller
of the Argus narrates this Incident of one ,
of his fishing trips in one of the creeks of '
Canada, opposite Grand Island, In Niagara |
river: “It was when he was governor, and '
the writer was an eye-witness to his con
scientious discharge of a public duty. A
messenger had been sent up from Albany
with two important requisitions for him •
sign immediately. The messenger arrived ,
in Buffalo in the early morn, but found
that Mr. Cleveland had gone fishing -just I
where, nobody knew definitely, but he wus j
in some of the Canada creeks opposite
Grand Island. There was nothing else to
do but hunt him up, and with a steam
launch and searching friends the hunt
began, which lasted nearly the whole day.
Finally he was found, complacently sitting
in the stern of a boat, intently fishing for
bass in Black creek. The steam launch
ran up to his boat, and he was informed
by the messenger that his perusal and sig
nature were demanded upon the requi
sitions, in order that the heaver of them
could catch the evening train for Albany,
where sheriffs were waiting for them, j
He took the papers, and, after
carefully reading them, said they I
met nil approval, hut lie could not sign !
them as ne was in Canada. ‘Oh! sign
them here. Grover!’ exclaimed his friend:
‘nobody will know any different.’ But i
the law prohibits me signing such papers |
outside the state, and tlint settles it,’ was i
iiis firm answer. So he picked up liis fish
ing tackle, g ive his fish away to the boat-
man, jumped Into the steam launch, was
taken to Buffalo, and in liis own law office ;
he signed the requisitions. The sheriffs |
received the papers in Albany the next
morning, and before night they had the
criminals they were after ou their way to
the places wqere the crimes were com
mitted.”

Chicago Managing Editor to City Editor
•—How was the thermometer to-day ?
City Editor—The highest was about 100
in tlie shade.
Managing Editor—Any sunstrokes?
Ctty Editor—Yes, a great many.
Managing Editor—Well, don’t do like
those St. Louis papers. They puldish the
exact facts and scare people. You see,
Chicago is a summer resort, and we must
keep up its Ireputation for that. It will
never no to talk about 100 or people dying
of sunstroke.
City Editor—What shall I say?
Managing Editor—Just say that the
weather was a tritie warm, but that there
was a fine breeze blowing from the lake,
which moderated the intensity of the sun’s
rays to a very enjoyable degree, and thut
light summer overcoats wore in great de
mand.
City Editor—How about the sunstroke
eases from t he coroner’s office.
Managing Editor—Well, you had better
divide them up between apoplexy, heart
disease and “cause unknown.” It will
never do to lose sight of the “summer, re
sort” idea.
Chicago Tribune: The temperature in
St. Louis day before yesterday was 107 de
grees in the shade. By a coincidence, at
a seance held in that town on Monday
night, the spirit of a recently deceased St.
Louisan began talking with the medium.
“Where are you?” said the medium.
“In sheol, where I expect to remain for
a time,” was the response.
“Have you met many friends?” asked the
medium.'
“Yes,” replied the spirit; “it seems like
home again.”
“How is the thermometer?”
“High, but comfortable—nothing like
St. Louis.”
And the medium closed the seance, vis
ited the nearest drug store, partook of a
lethal dose of morphine, and went that
night, wicked as she was, to where it was
cooler.
