The Krench-Uveriola feud has started afresh In Perry county , Kentucky. Bob May , an * ncmbcr of the Kentucky legislature and one of the principals on the Eversola side , Is icre from Hazard , the seat of the county and of the war. Judge Joslah Combs , the 'ntlicfln-Jaw ' of tlia dead Evcrsole leader , n dead. The leader ot the French faction , whose name was Krnzor , Fulton French and two others of his faction have been ar rested for his murder , and more trouble will follow. Judge Combs wai 70 years old and lived n Hazard , n&rly on Sunday morning , two weeks ago , he stepped across the street to where young Cash Evcrsolc nnd two others were talking. A rlllo cracked from the cornfield just over the fence and the bullet struck the old man In his breast , and he fell. ash Eversole wheeled and saw a man with blackened face spring up and dash through the cornfield. He says the man was Joe \dklns. At the same time other Frenches DCgan firing and shouting from another di rection to divert attention from Adklns. Young Cash , with several others , ran across i little spur and hid themselves In a ravine. Three- men with blackened faces aoon ap peared , Who the Evcreoles said were Adklns , frszer and Jesse Field. As they climbed over a bank VIII Martin , a boy In the Ever- sole crowd , fired and killed Fracet. The two others escaped , but were captured later with Fulton Trench in Breathltt county. Adklns Is said to have escaped , but French and Field are held , They are trying to get the county judge to come to the Breathltt line and try them , as they are afraid to go to Hazard , Only last night they received an anonymous letter saying that they would be shot the moment they put foot across the county line , Judge Combs died In a few hours. lie had never taken part In the feud , though he was n man of wealth and sympathized with the Eversoles nnd had always tried to get the Frenches to trial. It was his Influence that was feared. Adklns Is a noted des perado. More than thirty men have been killed In this feud In tno last halt dozen years. It began with the killing of the head of the confederate Gambrllls , a strong Breathltt county family , by the union Eversoles during the war. Soon the Gambrllls killed the Evcrsolo leader , and desultory fighting went on after the war until 1881. Then Fulton French came from Virginia to Hazard and taught school and read law with Joe Ever- sole , the leader of the Evcreole faction. The Eversoles were the richest and strongest family In the country , and they always had store In Hazard , which was the republican head'iuartcra. French rented this store from Joe Eversole for a year and opened ulth his clerk , noli May. French and May disagreed , and May opened just across the street and made his store the democratic headquarters of the town. When Frenches year was up Eversolo sent him word that he must move out , French , for some reason , refused , and on the day the lease expired Bversole drove Into town with twenty wagon : ot goads , moved French Into the street and opened the store the- next morn ing himself. That started the war. The Oambrllls took sides with the Frenches and against their old foes , nnd May and Bversole , though political enemies , joined their forces , and In time their were 100 men on each side. Sheriffs , lawyers and judges have been with the 'Evcrsolcs. French Is said to have hired many of his fighters. Many have left Hazard for fear of assassination , he eays. Trouble Is feared In the immediate future , as the men on both sides are out gunning tor their enemies. I'oor Leads to nervousness , frcUulness. peevish ness , chronic dyspepsia , and great misery.

K Ao.ntisT nI\JIIC.IL Lieutenant Colonel Noyes Seeking Justifica tion for Hln Action. DENVER , Oct. 17. The News today says that Lieutenant Colonel Henry C. Noyes ot the Second cavalry , recently transferred from a post In Arizona to Fort Logan , has preferred charges against General McCook , and that the general's recent trip to Wash- Inclon was made partly In consequence of these charges. According to the report pub lished In the News , Lieutenant Colonel Noyes , while on duty In New Mexico , In curred the 111 will jot citizens and com plaint was filed with General McCook. The lieutenant colonel reported that the duty was such as was demanded by the circum stances. General McCook relieved him from the post which -ho occupied and ho Im mediately laid the matter before the de partment at Washington. An active corre spondence followed and Lieutenant Colonel Noyes wound up by preferring charges against the general , As the policy of the War department Is to avoid publicity of trial when contention Is between officers of high rank , It Is thought there will be no formal hearing In the case. As the matter now stands. It la understood that Lieutenant Colonel Noyes desires to bo ordered back to the post from which he was relieved as a full justification of his position. Intima tions from Washington are to the effect that Secretary Lament has sustained General Mc Cook and that Lieutenant Colonel Noyes will remain at Fort Lojan. The lieutenant colonel is one of the acknowledged fighters and best dlclplinarlans In the army. It la said that since his arrival at Fort Logan he has neglected to pay his respects to the commanding general by calling at headquar ters In Denver. iro/c/c or iriffitAXD nirE.

SUCCESSFUL CHASE OF TRAIN ROBBERS Cunflitonco Eiirc sei1 tluit tlio Whole Oauff Will lie Filially Captured Homo ut tha llooty ItccovcrrU Tliclr ActItms Aroused Suspicion , WASHINGTON , Oct. 17. Three of the seven men who robbed the Quantlco train are In custody , and It IB predicted that the arrest of the other members ot the gang wilt follow BOOH , Money has been found on only one of those already caught. The reports would indicate that alter the robbery the men beat across country to the westward , and first sought railroad transportation In tbe Shennndoah valley. The llrat report of the capture -was con tained In the following special from Cum berland , MJ. , timed G a , m. , to the Washing ton Times : "Tills morning at about 1:10 o'clock Officer Becli o this city noticed a man acting la a rather suspicious manner near the Baltimore & Ohio depot. He tried to board express train No. 0 , westbound , with two satchels. The-man filled the description of the one who was Implicated In the robbery of the express car at Quantlco , Va. , lost week. As soon as the officer attempted to muko the arrest the man started to run , but was BOOH caught by the officer. He claimed to have been stopping at one of the hotels In this city , but upon being taken to each of the hotels In turn claimed that It was a dlfTerent one. He was taken to the station liouso and upon being searched $1,553 was found hidden In two woolen stockings. Nine hundred and twenty-three dollars were in notes and $ $30 In silver , one sliver -Natch , a gold one. a lot of pawn tickets and other valuables. "A Colt's revolver was on hU person. There were forty-three cartridges In his pocket I and a memorandum book showing liow th entire boodle bad been divided bc- tweon tlio men. In his satchel were found old muddy shoes , a. slouch hat and wearing apparel that looked like disguises. He asked to bo tak'en to the water-closet and ivhllo there tried to hide anotbor revolver and some money , but was caught In the act. "Tlio roan ia rather large and weighs at least ICO. Ho Is six feet tall , with a smooth face , and dresses neatly. It wax discovered by the officers that he had arrived In this city about 11 o'clock yesterday and had got ten away with several hundred dollars In a gambling house , Tbe police are confident they have one of the robbers. The man claimed to belong to several orders but re fused to give bis name. Ho was committed to Jail to await trial on the 25th Inst. Ho Is very sullen and refuses to talk , but before his commitment to jail he- told a number ot conflictingstories. . Ofllcer Deck says that the man was intoxicated and made a hard fight before he could bo arrested. " ON TRACK OP FOUR MORE. Conductor Qrecn of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad arrived In Washington at 11.SO to day from Cumberland , Md. He did not learn any additional facts concerning the ar rest at Cumberland or of the arrest of two mon who were reported to have been cap tured at Cherry Hun yesterday. He. how ever , confirmed that news and reported that the authorities were on the track ol four men In addition to the three arrested. Of these lour , two , he says , lias been placed under arrest at Martlnsburg this morning. They had boarded a. freight train and had unmercifully beaten the conductor. One of them had a very large nickel plated revolver. Mr. Green was not longnough in Martins- burg to learn many particulars of tha ar rest. rest.At At Shenandoah Junction , between Martins- burg ami Harper's Ferry , the railroad men Informed Conductor Green that two men had purchased ticket ! there this morning. The agent thought ther were suspicious charac ters from their appearance and behavior. They had plenty or money , which they ex hibited when they bought th * tickets. Borne of the money was described by the agent as gold. Two men answering tbe description given ot these men were seen near Alula Creek the day of the robbery , One oC the men. hs said , purchased a ticket for Louisville. Ky. , and the other ( or some point In the west , which Mr. Green did not remember. Tha aeent described one as tall and the other as short. It will bo remembered that Green , reported the Slicnan- doah Junction incident to the Adams ex press officials. * The conductor says , thp line of the railroad has been infested with , toughs for several ' weeks. The.6 were' ' confidence men on his train today , and , .faearly e.vpfy train , Is troubled with them. They have been at the Maryland county fairs and are now seek ing other fields , giving a great deal of trouble to the trainmen. Within a week a dozen or more of them have boarded trains and attempted to swindle passengers , This statement Is Important In Its possible bearIng - Ing on the arrest as Indicating that the men in Jail may have other reasons than partici pation In the train robbery for wishing to avoid the police. At the same tlmo the belief Is expressed confidently that the right men have been caught. NEW YORK , Oct. 17. President Lr C. Weir ot the Adams Express company believes the Cumberland suspect was one of the three men under surveillance -who passed through Trent Royal , Va. , Monday night. The sheriff lost track of them , though he was advised of their coming. They bought new clothes at Front Hoyal and were traced to a Norfolk & Western train. Subsequently , two of the men were apprehended at Cherry Hun and sent to Jail at Martlnsburg. The third es caped , but was overtaken at Cumberland , and Is now under arrest there. The memoran dum book which this'robber carried showing where the entire Tjooty had been divided , had not jrot been reported by the company's agents' , but -should provo a valuable clew. Mr. Weir Is positive that the total amount stolen will not exceed $20,000 and that even that amount will likely be reduced by further report. A. Very Vuluiiblo Medicine.

AID COMES FROM THE GENERAL FUND Hnscnll Trie * Unsuccessfully la Creata n Scare About the City 1'rlntliig Comiult- tco Iteparls AUturscljr un Actlaa of Huard of Health. The city council lacked Its usual drawing qualities last night , and as a. result ten members tranmcted tie business , \\hllo one man in the kbby and five officials watched the proceedings , which were purely of a routine nature , entirely devoid of exciting features , Mr. Hascall tried to scare the life out of the council , but In doing so he displayed his Ignorance by the introduction of a resolu tion In which It was declared that The Bee was rece-lvlng more than the contract price for doing city printing. In explaining his position , lie declared that when the- contract was awarded the same was upon the basis ot hand composition , and not with machine typesetting. The Uee was getting too much money. Mr. Wheeler urged that the contract pro vided for a certain price ot so much per square , a square meaning a certain number of lines. Mr. Hascall still urged that the machines spread the matter out over more space and that waa all that ho knew about it , though Mr. Burkley , a practical printer , tried to ex plain that whcu the contract VJH let , and up to the present time , all payments had been made on the basis of so much per square of nonpareil type. Regarding this Mr. Hascall know nothing , but he wanted an Investigation , and to please him the reso lution was referred to the finance committee , of which he is a member. The commutes on judiciary reported that after securing legal advice , It had been found that It was the duty ot the superintendent of weights and measures to prosecute all violators of the ordinances governing the affairs ot hU olllcc. HELPING THR FIRI3 FUND. Dy the adoption of a concurrent resolu tion the sum of 410,000 was transferred from the general to the flro fund , with the under standing that at the end of the year the general fund was to be reimbursed with the unexpended balance. Comptroller Olson was instructed to ad vertise one week for bids for painting the eighty-eight election booths. It was decided that at 10 oclock this.morn ing the board of equalization should meet to consider general tax matters. The meetIng - Ing will be held In committee room "A" In the city hall. A. report was in from the special com mittee which had had under consideration the Tenth street depot matter , but as the time had passed for getting the depot proposition before- the voters at the November election , tha whole matter was laid upon tlio table. A special committee reported upon the Fourth street and Poppleton avenue dump controversy. The whole matter was reviewed , together with the litigation with reference to garbage hauling. The report went to the committee * on judiciary. The peclal com mit tee found that the health commissioner ended the runwaya at the dump without authority ; that without authority he ap pointed a dump master , while months ago the affair was abolished by ordinance ; that tha dump has been kept In a filthy condition , causing considerable sickness In that locality ; that the Board of Health has continually violated city ordinances upon the subject of hauling and disposing ot garbage , and then endeavored to prevent the fair and reasonable enforcement of the ordinances bearing upon that subject. The ordinance providing for the filling of vacancies In the offices of city clerk , city treasurer and comptroller came up for pas sage. It provides that II vacancies occur within twenty daya before election , ( lie vacancies shall bo filled by tha mayor , sub ject to confirmation ; but If more than twenty days prior to election , the mayor shall appoint a. party to hold until the next general election. Uport tlie roll being called , the passage of the ordinance was defeated. AbiauUeit ii nick Mail , UPPKR BANDUSKr. O. , Oct.
