office at this place, and City Marshal
"VViiliamB lie dead at the city morgue,
-while J. L. Isenberg, editor of the Dally
Wave, is badly -wounded, the result of a
sensational street fight that occurred here
this eveniug. Iscnberg -will recover.
The cause of the tragedy was a criti
cism -written by Isenberg in his paper.
The objectionable article appeared in.this
afternoon's paper, and no sooner had Pat
terson read it than he started on a search
for tho editor.
The men met on the main streeC at 7
o'clock in the evening, a prelude of angry
words "was almost immediately followed
by blows. Several passes were made,
when Patterson flashed a revolver and
began snooting at his alleged slanderer.
Several shots were fired before Isenberg
could seek cover, one ball taking effect
at the outer edge of the left eye, and pro
ducing a painful wound.
In the midst of ttie fracas Marshal Will
iams appeared upon the scene. Patterson
turned his gun upon him. Tho first shot
caught Williams in the right breast, pass
ing clear through his lungs.
Before Williams dropied he whipped out
his revolver and managed to fire at his
would-be murderer, the bullet hitting Pat
terson in the forehead and killing him in
stantly. Williams died within an hour.
Editor Isenberg in the meantime had him
self found treatment, and at a late hour
was resting easy.
Patterson's body was removed to the
morgue, where it rests near that of Wil
liams. Pattcrsou leaves a widow and three
little girls Williams leaves a widow and
one child.

WW 10 THE POOR
Praise Only for "The Times' "
Bureau of Legal Advice.
WILL HELP THE HELPLESS
Lawyer Blair Lee Says It Would Be
the .Muhi Marked Advance of Mod
ern Times Com m lssionersltossand
Powell Highly Commend It All
Classes Agree as to Its Merits.
The principal topic in legal circles yes
terday was The Times Bureau of Legal
Advice. Everyone who has had any ex
perience in the practical workings of the
law knows how badly such an institution
is needed. Almost all of those who are
members of or are connected with the
District bar had the new enterprise in
tbctr thoughts and on their lips yesterday
and every one, from the "leading lights
or the profession to the humblest lawyer's
clerk, had a word of praise to utter, and
took the opportunity to state what a
void the bureau would fill.
The interest taken In the affair was
not confined to the lawyers, but preachers,
professors, mchants, manufacturers, and
mechanics of the city were unanimous in
declaring the bureau of legal advice a most
commendable institution.
MAJOR POWELL WISHES SUCCESS.
Commissioner Powell said to a Times
reporter that he had read with a great
deal of interest an account of the establish
ment of the bureau of legal advice and he
Epokcatsoine length onthegreat possibilities
for doing good and for correcting evils
which it would afford.
Among other things he said:
"That scheme is first rate, a most worthy
charity. It has been needed in this city for
some time. In my experience I have seen
many instances where such an institution
would have been of sen-ice to oppressed
families. You must have skillful, well
educated lawyers if you want to be suc
cessful, for almost as many cases are lost
through the incompetency of attorneys as
through the failure to secure any legal ad
viser. I wish you the success you deserve."
Commissioner Ross: "There can be no
doubt that many poor people are not able
to pay Tor legal advice and it is, indeed, a
commendable charity that gives them this."
Blair Lee, lawyer: "If you found and
maintain any system by which Ignorant
and poor people can be protected in their
rights, you will have made one of the most
marked advances of modern times. I
sincerely hope that you will succeed."
WILL HELP THE HELPLESS.
Tallin adge A. Lambert, lawyer: "A
very humanitarian and praise-worthy
scheme for the benefit of the people. It
will help those who might otherwise lose
their rights."
Conrad. II. Symc, lawyer: "I think
that this movement which aims to protect
-the rights and to redress the wrongs of
the defenseless and powerless should re
ceive the support and encouragement of all
who believe in equal and exact justice to
ex'eryone irrespective.of.race, color, or con
dition." Bnshrod Robinson, member of the firm
of llobinson, Chery & Company: "I think
it a splendid institution and I feel that
It will be the means of protecting many
worthy people. I heartily approve of it."
S. W. Woodward, member of the firm of
Woodward & Lotbrop: "It is vwy pro
gressive and ought to be successful. It
will prove a great boon to the poor people.
I hope that a sufficient meritorious case
will be soon secured so that the bureau
may obtain a standing right away."
WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE.
Rev. Randolph H. MrjKim: "The bureau
of legal advice is worthy of all the praise
that can be showered upon it. I have no
doubt that it will rescue many a poor
person from the clutches of schemers and
rascals."
William G. Johnson, lawyer "A most
gracious charity that will be the means of
untold good."
J. Walter Cooksey, lawyer: "I see every
day instances in which such a bureau would
be a great benefit. It is not only useful,
but almost a necessity. I read the account
of the establishment xrith a great deal of
satisfaction."
Franklin H. Mackey, lawyer "A good
thing. Don't confine yourself to civil suits,
but also includo the criminal cases. I
would like to see the poor wretches in the
police court have an attorney. They need
one and many are unable to pay. I am sure
many a man, found guilty in the police court
could have proved his innocence if he had
l)een able to get a lawyer to conduct his
case."

Louisville, Ky., June 26. The Democratic
State convention of Kentucky haseertainly
indorsed tho administration with siveeial
tributes to President Cleveland, "and his
distinguistiedco-adviserand Secretary, John
G. Carlisle."
No outing was ever productive of more
effective results than that of Secretary

tor Blackburn, attribute their defeat to the
recent speeches of Cur.isleaiid the circula
tion that was given them.
Tlie free coinage men do not deny that
they expected to control the convention
and all Its committees, platform and nom

and acknowledge theirdefeat although they

BEATEN IN DSTRIGTS.
The free-silver men were beaten yes
terday in the district meetings that se
lected members of the various committees
in the selection of Judge W. M. Beckner
for temporary chairman and Congressman
A. S. Berry for permanent chairman,
and in the organization of the committee
on resolutions, as well as in the organi
zation of other committees.
To-day they went down under the adop
tion of the minority report of credentials,
seating Clay's; "sound money" delegates,
as well as under the adoption of the
majority report on resolutions for sound
money and the indorsement of President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle.
The committee on credentials is one
that "tho sound money" did not look
after, and the silver men had a majonty
on it, but the convention overruled that
majority by adopt in"- the minority re
port. Senator Blackburn and other silver lead
ers remained on the floor of the convention
and fought to the last on the resolutions
after which they, did not take much in
terest in those who, as they said, had
previously deserted them. They were
very bitter towards Auditor of State
Norman, who w as General Hardin's man
ager and himself a candidate for re
nomination. In Senator Blackburn's speech against
the majority report on resolutions he
showed his feelirg toward some on whom
he had depended while he referred very
respectfully to Senator Lindsay, Congress
man McCrcary and others who had op
posed him openly. The convention wis
a record-breaker in great speeches as well
as iu otiier respects.
To-night Senator Blackburn made the
following statement: "I do Eut feci sore,
nor have I any heart-burnings. I realize,
however, that it is impossible to win a
fight against a combination of money and
Federal patronage.
HARDIN NOMINATED.
On reassembling at 7:30 p. m., dilatory
measures occupied almost an hour, when
the name of Gen. Cassius M. Clay was
presented by George C. Lockhart for the
nomination for Governor, and seconded
by Isaac M. Quigley.
J. It. Breckinridge, tlie eloquent brother
of W. C. P. Breckinridge, presented the
name of P. Wat Hardin, seconded by James
Tarvin and I. A. Spalding. Previous to
tlie convention reassembling the hall was
flooded with a dodgerurgiugthe nomination
of cither K. L. Black, W. J. Stone, or A. S.
Berry, which was denounced in the nomi
nating speeches and was regarded a3
aimed at Hardin, after the adoptiou of an
administration platform.
There being only two candidates a
nomination was expected on the first bal
lot, which was watched with such close
attention as to command perfect order.
There was 878 votes; necessary to
nominate, 440.
As the ballot proceeded several counties
cast scattering votes for W. J. Stne. and
the three mountaineers from Lee county
voted for Htnry Watterson. Rock Castle
county voted solidly for Gen. Buckticr,
but no dark horses could stampede the
well lined up forces of nardin and Clay.
When the counties were all called It was
evident that Gen. Hardin was nominated
and the Hardin men cheered as the last
counties responded with "more for Har
din." Before the result of the ballot was an
nounced the Clay men moved that the
nomination or Gen. Hardin be made unani
mous and it ca rried with a great hurrah.
The result or the ballot was announced
as follows: Hardin. 4G8 1-2; Clay,
330 1-2; Stone, 76; Watterson, :i:
For Lieutenant-Governor, R. T. Tyler

Havana. June 2G. The moetserious newr
of Spanish disasters received sjince th

afternoon.
The garrisons of two towns have surrenr
dered. and the places themselves have bee4
burned by Maximo Gonn-2. Firing wa4
heard constantly around Puerto Principe
lastiiight.andextraordiimryprrcautionsar
being taken to protect that cily.
Owing to the restrictions placed by thS
government upon the transmission of tele
graphic news conc-rnlng the insurrection,
only the most meager details of the dis
asters t Uk Spanish armies are obtainable.
It appears certain, however, that tha
garrison at El Mtlato, m the province o
Puerto Principle, and capitalortheprovinee,
has surrendered to Maximo Gomez.
IT WAS A PEACE1-UL VICTORY.
Tlie garrison consisted of a boot tweaty
five Spanish ioldiers uix'er Lieut. Romero,
aud they were qeartrred in a peato house,
fortified with palisades and piereed with
loopholes for rifle?. The p!ace was aisa
provi.sioiwd and contained a coBSitferaWo
stock of ammunition.
During the unexplained abeence of Lieut.
Romero the fort was surrounded by abous
1,000 insurgents under the command ef
Maximo Gomez. The latter sent a mes
senger to the garrison of EI Mutato a bhu Be
ing that he gave the soldiers fifteen nrin
uetes in which to surrender with tfce alter
native of Leing fired upon by the full In
surgent force if they related to do to.
It is said that the soldier.- were wfiHng
to fight, and werv preparing to do so, when
Lieut. Romero arrived as the fon. aitd Ms
presence being made known to -Maximo
Gomez, the latter sent him a seeesd note
saying Xih- msuigritts had so desire to shed
blood uiHieccssarily. and, therefore, he
lieutenant was given five mtoaies more In
