Sunday morning about one o'clock a fight, in which one young man was seriously hurt, took place at a disre putable house in East Greensboro. About six young men were in the fight and a Greensboro young man knocked a young man from Asheville, in the head, fracturing his skull. The wound bled profusely perhaps a quart of blood flowing from it. Night Officers Whittington and Weatherly reached the scene shortly after the fight and, without making any arrests, at the time, brought the injured young man to the Benbow House where he was stopping-. A phy sician was summoned and is yet at tending him. The physician says that, though the wound is very bad one, the y u; og man will be out by the latter part of the week. The Greensboro young man who de livered the blow was arrested this morning and is now in jail. He will have a preliminary hearing before Mayor Taylor this afternoon. He is of a good family and it is a pity that he is connected with such a disreput able affair. The names of all the young men are withheld for the present for reasons best known to the police. A FIRE TODAY. W. A. Wlngate's Bicycle Store the Scene of Destruction: An exciting fire broke out at 1:15 o'clock today in W. A. Wingate's bi cycle store, caused by the explosion of a can of gasoline. The flames spread rapidly, and as there was no alarm except the ringing of the court house bell, the firemen were late reaching the scene. Finally, however, when tlnee streams of water were turned into the building the fire did not last long. The firemen worked heroically, ably directed by Acting Chief Pleasants, assisted by Ex -chief Stone. The building belongs to Mrs. Yates and wits very badly damaged espeei cially in the rear part, It wasinsn ed in the Southern Stock Mutual f m- iiOO. . Mr. Wingate estimates his loss at $2,000 with $1,200 insurance. He saved nothing but biycles and a show case of bicycle and sewing machine fixtures. Four bicycles and three sewiDg ma chines were among the more valuable things destroyed. WILSON WANTS HIS SON. Chief cf Police Rees Askec to Find Him.

Isn't it strange that some people have to fix up their sidewalk or the town will fix it up for them and make them pay for it sometimes where there is not so much passing done thereon, and that there is a sidewalk on Main v street within 250 yards of the centre of the town, where there is a ditch in the middle of the sidewalk that zigzags like the worm 'of s fence and that it is an actual fact thai more water runs in this ditch than in the side ditch along this sidewalu, and that it is in front of the property of one of the wealthiest men in town. Possibly when the town authorities are making their round looking at the sidewalks, their eyes fall upon the magnificent abodes along these sidewalks and not upon the walks.

An Existing Sentiment Against Cau cus Rule to Bind Members On Matters of Legislation. Special to Thb Telegram. Washington, Dec. 12 The demo cratic caucus held Saturday night was very slimly attended, though consider able interest was manifested. The op ponents of Mr. Bailey, with very few exceptions remained away from the caucus. Out of a total of 126 members only 86 were present, and about 65 of those in attendance are known to be friendly to the Texas Congressman. What course the opponents of Mr. Bailey will take is hot knowu,' as no opposition was manifested in the caucus to the adoption of the resolu tions which have been pending since ast June. There is a sentiment exist ing against caucus rule to bind mem bers on mattersbf legislation, upon which there is a division in the party, and upon which the national demo cratic convention has not been called upon to decide. It is notable that Representative McMillan, who has re cently had a very exciting controversy with Mr. Bailey was not present. Representative Richardson, however, who is president of the caucus, and who aspires to succeed Mr. Bailey as minority leader was present, as were also several other members of the Tennessee delegation. There is only one democrat in the present house from North Carolina, and he was not present at the caucus. Members who were in attendance were seen after the caucus adjourned, and they state that the meeting was harmonious, and that the resolutions adopted are binding alike upon those who attended, and upon those who ab sented themselves for one reason, or another. During the caucus not once was the leadership of Mr. Bailey ques tioned, and the subject of the minority leadership of the Ffty-sixth congress was not broached by any one. The opinion of a majority of the caucus is that the question of the minority lead ership of the Fifty-sixth congress can well afford to go over to the next congress without being discussed at this time as this house has nothing whatever to do, with the subject. Governor Russell, who is in the city on business connected with the war department, called to see President McKinley Saturday afternoon, and had quite a lengthy discussion with him concerning matters of interest to the state. The governor would not say whether the recent troubles at Wilmington were broached by the president, but the impression is that the matter was discussed. The gov ernor, since being in Washington, has been very reticent, refusing to talk upon his future course of action in any particular. He said Saturday after noon, however, that he had no fear of impeachment proceedings before the next legislature, which is about to as semble. Governor Russell spent Sun day in Washington quietly, at the Ebbitt House, receiving a few callers. Col. and Mrs. Morehead, who have recently returned to Washington, have opened their residence, having leased what is known as the Curry House. The mansion is quite large, and will enable them to entertain dur ing the winter, as is their custom. It is likely that their home will form one of the most attractive of the southern colony in Washington. The First North Carolina regiment, it is said, will have the honor of being the first volunteer regiment to land at Havana. The regiment is now en route for Cuba, having left Savannah the other day. Miss Katydid Jones, a well known young lady of Washington city, is vis iting North Carolina for a few weeks. At the present she is the guest of Mrs. Shepard, in Hillsboro, where she wiil remain for some time. Col. Webster, and quite a number of prominent South- Carolina politi cians are in the city for the purpose of interesting the president in the post office appointments in South Car olina, before his departure for the South. The Spartanburg, South Carolina, post office becomes vacant in a few days, and it is expected the appoint ment will be sent to the Senate. Amoner North Carolina people In Washington are Thomas P.
