POSTAL-CARD DESIGNS. The Pencil Genins Having Fan With Postmaster General Waaamaker. Washington, Oct. 53. (Special.) A short time ago, Postmaster General Wan- a maker asked indiscriminately for de signs for a new postal card.

He did this in order to give the artistie in the great American mind a chance. The American is taking advantage of that chance. Mr. Wans maker has received numerous designs. They eome from nearly every section of tbe country; some of them show the possession of high degree of art toe designers.

There ate half a dosen or so cxeeneat ideas, and no doubt one of these will be selected-. Tbe humorous trend of the American mind is 1 own in rae fteen- or cvnnt.y tie-signs which Wana maker did not expect, They are very wen executed, but they tend to make fun of Wanamaker. For instance, one bean a medallion head of that gentleman with the legend around it, The Greatest All-Around Merchant in the World. Special inducements of fered to country postmasters." On another: Wanamaker's breeches are the best in the market. Still another Is, Wammaker has is special bargain counter for any article that yon mar want on Wrdivalmn mnA EVirf- can get fift en postage sumps from hint iwi quaner.

Mr. WttRsmaker is said to laocit over these things much as anybodr else. He had on his desk to-day a desiirn for a potal card which some fellow. vi- dently hard np, is trying to get him to adopt, it is like the okl with, a very small place for the address. The rest cf the white surface is taken up with the injunction: It is a peniten- tinrv onense to send a dun on a postal card.

A DISQRACB TO THE STATE. Pinevfile Oct. 23. (SpedaU Two hours before daylight yesterday morning tbe law and order party, hitherto styled the Turner faction ot Harlan county, fifty men in alL armed with Winchester riHes and revolvers, under the leadership of County Judge Lewis, left the Court-house and made an assault oa tbe Howard forces, 'who were in camp at E. M.

Howard's house, one mile from the town. The engagement was abort f-ltaro and terrifla. and toot one Of tlie at- fcking party was But one of yVoward's aide, Millard was in stantly killed, and six others were wound ed. Among the wounied are Bird Spur- lock, whose injuries are mortal, and Jobert Napier, whose, recovery is not among the possibilities. Bird Spar lock was shot in the head, almost aU of hia lower jaw being destroyed by a ball from a Winchester.

Jiapier, a son of George Kapler, received two bullets, 'ones pf which passed through his abdomen. probably cutting intestines. Ben Mitchell and George Cole were shot in tlie legs. Thomas Howard got a flesh wound in the thigh. Jim Spurrock had a close call A bullet grased hia temple, tear-Ityr away a handful of hair and a few incnes ot snn, oat no jraeinnng im skulL Win Jennings was shot through the right hand.

There was a report here to-day that Wilson Howard had been mortally wounded, but Inter advices are that he escaped unhurt The foregoing list of casualties may be relied on as absolutely correct, it having been furnished me by a gentli man who left Harlan Court-bonse this morning. The Howard gang were badly demoralized by the attack and its dis- astrons results, and last night they changed camp to a point about three miles from the Court-house. They have been makinar tlw finntf nf TT XT. 11 aw. ard their headquarters E.

Howard I la a mnaln WlUn Kmml IIvm I at the mouth of Poor Fork, one mile below tbe town. This fresh outbreak of hostilities is Sue in a large measure to the assassination of John Cawood, October For a long time, this internecine war la Har lan has been eafled the Turner-How ard -feud. It has now eome to be a struggle between Howard and bis followers on one side? and County Judge Lewis, representing the law and order, on the other side. who Is one of the wealthiest men in the county, is a Baptist preacher, who never took a drink or swore an oath in his life. At tbe August election, ia 188S, lie wns chosen Judge of, the County Conrt.

He undertook to enforce the' local option law, and meeting with re sistance, used extreme measures to carry oat his rulings. He managed to laenr the displeasure ot Wilson Howard, and being pnt to tbe neeewity of gathering posse, was compelled to call on the adherents of Turner. The families of Howard and Turner are old, and their relationship is so extensive that they practically control the entire popula tion. Harlan county is perhaps the most mountainous In the State. The three forks of the Cumberland river find their origin there.

Clover fork snT Martin's fork unite at the town, and one mile below the court-house make their confluence with Poor fork, after which the stream is called Cum rrt land river. There are about twelve hundred voters in the eounty, and the Bepublicans have 600 majority. The people are clever and hospitable, but they are very dangerous citizens in a difficulty. The gentleman from whom I got my information of yesterday's battle left Harlan Court-bouse this morning. II said to me: i There is no use trying to describe tlie condition of affairs in Harlan.

Wil son Howard has no It-ss than forty men In his gang, and they are well armed and desperate. Judge Lewis is, how ever, determined to capture the whole. ana he has plenty of followers behind him. The women are bndly frightened. ana nooiy Teeis safe in the town.

-1 wish tlie Governor would, if he Imd that power, declare martial law ia the county. ana give us relief. I am going away. and don expect ever to return. I slw II certainly not go ruck until tlirse troutH les i' re settled.

MK-n did this war between the Turners ami. the Howards begin?" I It began ten years lie fore the war" and Is the oldest and bloodiest feud that ever disgraced the On the Turner side, at its incipiency, were two brothers, named William and James Turner, both gentlemen of wealth, and prominence, The poesessioas of James Turner consisted largely or slaves, while William was a large land holder. One of their enemies, who waa kiled by Bill Turner, was a man. named Gilbert. Kick How ard was probably the first man -who started on the other side.

These men have, on two or three occasions, left Harlan Court-house and gone Wet, but they have invariably returned after brief 1 sked the gentleman if he eould tell i i me how many lives had been sacrificed 1889. in this feud, and be said in reply: 1 suppose it would be sat to say that no less thoa fifty men have been killed since these troubles beean. Kearlv everr- poay in the county is in one party or I nmer, and there is Httle room for hope that -there will ever be It is believed that VFikvm Howard win In tlie -next few days attempt to avenge the aesault of yesterday: and the "news from llarlna will be of intense interest until blood begins to Bow again.

Bock- ner, aa to what can be done to relieve the good people of Harlan Court-house of the terrible predicament in which they are' placed by the hostilities. Mr. Howard is a relative of Wila Howard, but be spoke very sensibly ot the situa tion.

He says he will urge the Gov ernor to take some steps and thinks troops ought to be sent to Harlan Court house and stationed there for tbe pro tection of the large number of law-abid ing citizens who have taken no part with either aide, and whose desire is to have nothing to do with the lights. A gentleman who accompanied the Sheriff left Harlan county Tuesday morning: He said be knew positively that the report that Berry Howard had Joined Wils party at the bead ot thirty men from the Puekett creek section was erroneous, and the reports aa to the number of men in Wife party at the time of the fight Tuesday morning" bear hia sfcttement out. Capt. John Rogers, the ex-Deputy Marshal, and others here who know Berry Howard, said they were confident, too, that he had no hand what ever ia tlie war. The gentleman from Harlan said be knew that Berry Howard was out Lear hunting alone at the time be was reported to have joined Wils and the fact that be had been see with his rifle gave rise to the im pression that be waa also on the war path.
