A score of choice spirit3 gathered at the clubhouse early to have a good time, and discuss politics. Tom Tracy of Adams street and Vassev Carroll of 2311 Eugenia street engaged in a controversy that led to an exchange of blows. Friends intervened, and Tracy says he turned to leave when Carroll drew a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen.

At the City Hospital the wound was pronounced serious, but not necessarily fatal. Carroll escaped. TRIED TO BE A WIFjyiURDERER.

Harrison employed Chinese labor several years ago in tho Harrison Wire Mill at High street aril the Missouri Pacific Railway tracks. This canard has been industriously circulated at all the meetings of the labor organizations the past week. It is said, with a view of placing Mr. Harrison In the attitude of an employer of "scabs." Mr. Harrison was surprised when he beard of this latest campaign fiction against him.

He says that he never had anything to do with the management of that mill; never knew what kind of labor was employed there, and was never inside the mill four times in his So it appears that Mr. Harrison Is not responsible for the hiring of labor in that mill.

Matthews was a conductor on the Laclede Avenue division of the Missouri Railroad. The wife had a good position as stenographer and cashier in a down, town wholesale house.

Kroell, our Councilman Heckel's Plan, for Separating the Race Track From the Display Section. A bill to prohibit or regulate pool rooms may be introduced in the Municipal Assembly before the end of the term. Councilman Heckel wishes to take this step, but he fears the measure could not be passed in the remaining three weeks. "Something should be done," Mr. Heckel said Saturday.

"Pool rooms are springing up on every side. They will soon be as numerous as saloons." 1 "Do you favor prohibition or regulation?" "They should either be prohibited or licensed, and the license should be so high that few could pay it. That would mltlsat the evil to a great extent. "But the great stumbling block In the way of pool room legislation is tha Fair Grounds. The one cannot be regulated without th other.

The fire started about 7 o'clock Friday night in the firm's packing room in the basement of the Commercial Building. Thres alarms were sounded, and it was nearly an hour before the flames were extinguished. The basement contained a reserve stock of fine stationery, clocks and jewelry cases. The packing room was entirely burnt out and the other rooms badly damaged. The reserve stock is almost a total loss.

A temporary packing room was fitted up on the first floor Saturday morning, and goods were delivered to customers as promptly as before the fire. The stock was insured. The fire was confined to the portion of the basement used by K. Jaccard Co. Other firms in the building suffered no loss.

Kettle's husband, a night watchman. To further questioning, the child replied: "She beat every day and sometimes twice a day because I did not do things the way she wanted. I don't want to go back there. I want to go somewhere else. Xo, I don't want to go to the House of Refuge.
