Prof. Charles- Olsen, who recently de feated Prof. Ono, the jiu jitsu man and Prof. Schoenf eld in mat contests here, was cut and painfully injured last night while attempting to stop a row between Will, McFee of this city and another person. Mr. Olsen was cut across the calf of the lower leg, the muscles severed, the knife blade sticking the bone and serious injury inflicted. Other slight nits'wpre inflicted on Mr. Olsen's knuckles, wrist and left and right chest. These hurts, however, are very slight. The injured man was taken to the Clarence Barker Hospital at Bilt more. Dr. Glenn said this morning that the wound on Mr. Olsen's leg was serious, thopgh not necessarily a per manent hurt. If no complications arise, said Dr. Glenn Mr. Olsen's leg will become as strong as ever. The stitches will probably be taken out within ten days or two weeks, but he will not be able to use the leg to any extent for three pr four weeks. It is feared that the injury to Mr. Olsen's leg will necessitate the post ponement or cancelling of the proposed wrestling match here Thanksgiving night, when Mr. Olsen was to meet the English wrestler, Parr. It is now certain thait the match scheduled for Salisbury on the night of October 20 between Mr. Olsen and vLo"nhafdt will have to be cancelled or postponed. A Mysterious Shooting Pittsburg, Oct. 10. As a result of a mysterious shooting in the fashion able suburb, .of Emsworth late last night George Glosen-kamp, whose home is on Fremont avenue, Avalon, was shot in the groin after leaving the home of Miss Lucinda Luty in Ems- worth, where he had called to spend the evening. Much mystery surround ed the shooting and all efforts on the part of the police to ascertain the name of the man who did the shooting have failed. All parties concerned move in the best society. Indications point to jealously on the part of an other caller at the Luty residence as the incentive to the assault. American Shipbuilders Copenhagen, Oct. 10.

F!53 prices on Comforts stock of between Is. all goo now and SA Loss Includes Machinery Room, En- v r ; gine Room, Dry Kiln, Much Lum ber and Other Property Some Insurance Firemen Work High Point, N. C, Oct. lO.Special The screams from the throats of a hnif-himHrrt whistles tonieht at fif teen minutes to 8 o'clock threw the ten thousand Inhabitants of this rUy IntD a frenEy of excitement. The location of-the fire was at the mammoth plant of the Eagte Furniture Company, and had its origin Jn a dry-kiln. Thlb plant is located in a rather thickly settled factory district, and for several minutes people held their breath for fear lest the flames should spread to adjoining factories and houses and cause a holocaust. But when excitement was at the highest the work of the fire departments was telling on the flames, and the ten streams of water formed a veritable wall of defense and the flames were seen to be under control. As soon as the' flames' enveloped thr engine room the great boiler roared and snorted great streams of. steam, and the thousands of people on the ground tumbled over eacl other in the mad rush out of danger, fearing that the huge piece of metal would explode. No sooner was the excitement over in this case than It was heralded that the oil house was in fearful danger, and the onlookers scattered like so' many winged birds. . The loss to the plant includes ma chinery room, engine room, dry-kiln, a large amount of lumber and other property. A conservative estimate places it at $25,000, with insurance. The finishing room, with a large part of the manufactured product, together with the ofnee, was saved. The sam ple room was badly damaged by fire and water. This leaves the company without any machinery to work with, and puts It out of business until the necessary equipment, together with buildings, can be replaced. The Eagle Furniture Company was organized in 18?3. It was one of the best plants here and occupied several large buildings.' The machinery room destroyed was 80 by 140 feet 'and the warehouse 40 by 175 feet, two stories. Its specialties of manufacture are suites, sideboards, chiffoniers, odd dressers and . beds. The company is capitalised at $35,000. and Mr. J. H. MIllls of this place is the largest stock holder. The officers are F. A. Snow, president; F. M. Pickett,' vice-president, and Charles Ragan, secretary and treasurer. .

THE DIET PROROGUED Hungarian Situation Is Less Threa tening Than It Has Been Budapest, Oct. 10. The reassembling of the lower house of the diet -' today did not bring a solution of the parlia mentary crisis, but at the same time it did hot increase the tension. The min isters attended, but sent to the presi dent' a royal message proroguing the house until December 19th. Count Ju lius Andrassy, one of the coalition lead ers, strongly, but without violence, protested against the prorogation. He declared that the king's personal views had been put in opposition to the na tion's will, ' Immense responsibility rested on those executing this policy. Deputy Pap, a nationalist, demanded tha tthe king resign. Deputy Mezoeff y, a socialist, made a violent anti-dynas-tic speech. 1 Count Andrassy's protest, which was put in the form of a resolution, was unanimously adopted, after Count Liza, ex-premier, and other liberals left the chamber. The situation, although . unsatisfac tory enough, is less threatening than it was recently. Public opinion seems to be depressed. Both houses have now accepted prorogation under protest.
