    Fight in the Indiana Senate.

    INDIANAPOLIS, la., Tuesday, Feb. 15.

    A collision occurred in the Senate this morning between Senators GOODING and HEFFRON, in consequence of some personal remarks made by both in the Senate some days ago. During the fight a brother of GOODING interfered and struck HEFFRON on the head with a cane, wounding him severely. Otherwise little damage was done to either party. Both were armed, but had no opportunity to use their weapons. The excitement in the Senate during the difficulty was intense.
