Tin* troubles smoldered along without breaking out in open violence until last Friday evening when Murray Fulghan meeting young Avery Town send, began to abuse him. He finished by administering a beating to the young man with an axe handle. Young Townsend swore out a warrant charg ing Fnlgham with assault and battery with intent to kill. Fulgham at once left tin* 1:iv. ii to avoid arrest and went up into Madison county, but his father sent for him anti brought him back. Voting Fuigliam was arrested upon his return home and gave bond.

Louisvxllk, Ky., May 1.—A bloody Bhooting affair took place yesterday af ternoon when Arch Brown, the son and private secretary of Governor Brown was shot and killed by Fulton | Gordon. Brown and Gordon’s wife j were intimate anti Gordon suspected the wrong doing of the pair. Brown and Mrs. Gordon entered a house and Gordon, who followed, found them in bed. Gordon began the shooting and Brown fired in return. Mrs. Gordon was shot during the melee and killed. Thc-guilty couple were completelytaken by surprise but Brown had prepared himself for such a visit. Gordon was not injured although he was covered with blood and thought to have been shot. He is, however, in convulsions. Mrs. Gordon was a Miss Nellie Bush of this city and belongs to one of the most prominent families in the state. She elopetl with Gordon about ten years ago. Young Brown was recently di vorced form his wife. When the di vorce was published, although no wo man’s name was mentioned, it is understood that the reason for the divorce lay in Brown's intimacy with Mrs. Gordon. On account of the high connections the murder has caused a great sensation. The coroner held an inquest over the bodies yesterday afternoon anti the jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide. It is understood, however, that Gordon will be held for a formal preliminary examination. I)\\ A i P\ UNDER CIVIL SERVICE GULES.

Washington, May 1.—The civil ser vice leaven is working in the govern ment printing otlice, and yesterday nearly five hundred members of Colum bia Typographical Union assembled in the Typographical Temple on G street and discussed the subject from the practical standpoint of personal self- interest. A spirited debate followed the introduction of a resolution by Charles Spencer of the government j printing oflice declaring in favor of pla cing the oflice under civil service rules, and providing that through tlie proper I ollieials the matter be brought to the attention of the civil service commis sion. The resolution was adopted, however by nearly two votes to one, anti certi fied copies of it will be sent to the civil service commission and by that body will be called to the attention of the president. The president is under stood to lit* in favor of fhe affirmation of the resolution. The act on taken by the union is regarded as a great per sona! triumph for Mr. Benedict, who lias long desired to have the oflice placed beyond the importunities of politicians, but in deference to the union lias not himself taken active steps toward tho end desired.
