ATTAC KK.H WITH KSIVKHA PISTOL
S. J. H iuim, Fj). at Prontluent Young;
Attorney of Kinston Overpowered
it u d Bndly Cut by Four Stalwart
Ufa.
Tuesdav id our netghhortown. Kins
ton, Mr. N. J House, an able anil promi
nent young attorney of thut place, was
maliciously attacked by Mr. Levi Daw
son and h:s thn-e sons. Mr. Rouse as
overpowered by them, knocked down,
and hud his clothing riddled w ith their
knives.
His body wrtscutin two or three places,
lait almos- miraculously neither proved to
be serious. Also during the encounter
one of the assailants drew a revolver and
snapped it at Mr. Rouse. It failed to
tire and was immediately snatched awuy
by a gentleman who was endeavoring to
quell the trouble.
Our informant says that the difficulty
arose over supplementary proceedings
that were being takeu in favor ol creditors
to exam'n: into the business
transactions of the Dawson's,
tne examination being by order of the
Superior court, before the clerk and by
request of Mr. Dawsoa his daughter's
examination was at the store. Afttr the
examiiiiit o i, as Mr. Rousa and ihe
oiheis were leaving, tne accusation was
made by the Dawson's that Mr. Rouse
had insulted the young lady and the at
tack by all four, with the weapons, was
made upon him as above stated al
though one of the attorneys for Mr.
Dawson insisted to them that Mr. House
had said nothing in the examination but
what was perfectly courteous.
The attack appears to have boo : not
only brutal and cowardly, but deliberate
ly premeditated.
The Messrs Daw.-on's were taken befin
the M iyor and placed under a $'J"iO bond i
each. They waived examination.
IX T If KIR NEW QIARTERM.
Jf. Hahn A t'o's Xf Plaee of BiinlnfM
A II antlHom e and Convenient One.
Messrs. M. Hahn & Co., are now com
fortab'y installed in the ham home new
bricK Uii'dlug which takes the place of
Ihe wooden one in which they have fir
;irs carried oil so successfully their large
livery stable busine-s.
The building is a great improvement to
t he street and a very couvenient one for
i lie business. 1 he hriely finished office is
located at the centre and on either side of
it are the wide entrances oDe leading into
the stables, the other into the carriage
department, while the second floor is de
voted to harness.
Besides the main building, a died
70x23 feet has a!so been erected to give
additional storage room for the buggies.
They have also put in an elegant new sate
from the Mosler 8af : Company.
This livery 'table is a large and well
equipped establishment. Our city has
just cause to be proud ot her standing as
a horse market and Messrs. M. llahn have
ilone a large part towards building up
the trade to the point that makes i: so.

Mr, Hege saiel it looked a if hall of Xew
Berne came out to them.
It is a treat of no small measure to visit
so large and orderly arrangeel :ui I mana
ged a place of this description. There are
tifty chicken breeding yards, eight pilar-
saut yarels, seven deg jards and enie hno
elreel and i euty-eiglit breeding puis I o
rabbits, and the more elog yarels to bj
adeleel at once,
Every varet on the place l as nirning

by means ot a wind mil t auet shade is
provided for by about 125 peach trees
w'l ch were standing lielore the eouvtr
sion of the place into a poultry yarel ami
in aehlltion to those already theft; gOO
more peach trees ami 50 culheri ies have
just been set out.
Every yard is commodious ami the
house in the centre ot each is constructed
alter the most improved plans.
Messrs. Hege & Co. breed but two va
rieties of dogs, the massive and easy na
t u red St. Bernards and the favorite iittle
pets, English pugs. Mr. Hege sold the
noble animal, V n tor Uruc ol the Itirnier
breed which he- exlubiteel at thei last Ka-.t
Carolina Fair in New 15erne to Mr. Kj
gene Vaughn of niston for 250. lie
was then twelve months old.
Twenty varieties cf poultry are brexl in
these yards the list is as folleiws; Brah
inas, light and ehuk; Cochins, buff, white
and partritlge; Plyinouth Rocks, barreei
and white; Black Ijangshans, Indian
games, Black Minorca; Ieg-lioms, brown
and white; Wyandottes, silver ami w hite;
Houdans; Bantams, black breaste I reel
game and buff Cochin; anel Polish, white
breasted black and reel caps. Among
these chickens are a number which could
not be purchase I for les; than fifty dollars
each.
The proprietors claim that their estab
lishment is the largest and most complete
of its kind in the South and we do not
believe the claim will be successfully dis
puted. Visitors from other states have de
clared that a view of the inmates of the
numerous yarels is about equal to a visit
to a regular poultry show, aud yet all vis
itors arc eorelially welcomed tree of
charge.
Four varieties of phaesants are kept.
These arc the golelen, silver, Lilly Amherst
and Mongolian. Those who have nol
vieweel these bright hued bids have but
little ielesi of how beautiful anil attractive
they are.
The pet stock embraces Angora Him
alayan. Lop-eared, Dutch anel English rab
bits; German Hares; Angora, Abvcsinian.
and common guinea pigs; white anil spot
led rats ami mice', and'funcy pigeou in
varieties.
The incubators nniveel Saturday and
will he put into operation next week.
The bull frog larni will also now soon
be in operation. Mr. Ilige had not
studied uu on frog culture before coming
to Xew Berne but having a suitable place
for the purpose just back of his poultry
jards anel clog kennels, he has investigated
the business until he is becoming as en
thusiastic over that branch ot his business
as over any other part of it.
One of his latest acquis'u ions ou frog
literature is an extended newspaper ac
count of a frog farm in California on
w hi li the frogs are raised by the niidiou,
the largest of which bring nine dollars a
elozeu anel Irom that tlown lo one dollar
a dozen. Messrs. He'ge & Co. will stock
their ponel with some of those California
frogs.

The N'ie:aragua Canal question came up
in the Senate again Monday, he insisted,
that by c.lielul calculationthat the canal
can be constructed at a cost w hich would
wield a remunerative prolit that it was a
necessary improvement: that it w as of the
greatest importance to the United States
that the United States, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica could unite as stockholders
and operate the caual.
It is now well understood that the most
proiniHcnt topic to e discussed during the
present session and the one whichwill
ren Jer the session of great int-rest, is the
Financial question. The r .-- .i nda
tions of the President ami .-.c.l.ij. e..r
lisle seems not to have i-en iiielorseel by
the instruction of the Demojiatic Senntei
rial caucus. The ir-tructions only require
the linance committee to Uke the-t; sug
gestions uueler consideration as they woulel
any suggestion bearing upon the question
which might come from a creditable
souice. However, there is little doubt
that the Finance Committee will take the
subject up.
There is lo be no contest for Mr. Dock
