Extraordinary Duel in Oklahoma —Bravery Saved a Man's Life. The particulars of a strange duel come from the Cimarron country, near ihe western border of Oklahoma. A gambler named Bassett had a quarrel with a ranchman named Weaver. Roth men drew pistols, but bystanders . stopped them before they had a chance to use them. It was decided that a'duel wus the only way that would settle the trouble. The ordinary dueling code did not satisfy the men. and they made a peculiar agreement. They were to withdraw and their friends were to load one revolver. A blanket was placed over the table and two revolvers were placed under the blanket, one empty and the other loaded. Both men were to draw an 1 fire at the same time. The positions were taken and the revolvers drawn. Bassett fired first, but bis revolver failed to respond. Without flinching he placed his revolver on the table and folded his arms, calmly looking Weaver in the face. Weaver took his time and deliberately aimed at the center of Bassett's forehead. After what must have teemed an eternity to the latter Weaver slowly raised the pistol and fired the ball through the air. saying that Bassett was too brave a man to die. and he did not believe he had cheated. The men became fast friends and all trouble between them ! s past.

SWEPT BY A CYCLONE. Washington City Devastated by a Terrific Wind-Storm. Baltimore was entirely without communication with Washington. Intelligence was received from that city that a terrific hurricane was raging and that several people bad been killed. It was als > said that great destruction to buildings had been caused by the tornado, many being unroofed. Immediately after the receipt of this information the wire went down. All other te egraph wires were also interrupted, giving evidence of the fury of the gale. Advices from neighboring cities show that the hurricane was general In that section, being accompanied in ma-iy Instances by furious rain-storms, amounting almost to cloud-bursts. Flcods have resulted from the heavy rains in Maryland and Southeastern Pennsylvania, and It Is believed that reports of great damage and perhaps loss of life will be received as soon as any ‘ means can be bad of conveying Intelligence. The gale on Chesapeake Bay was one of _tbe hardest kno vn for years. The oyster smacks have run for shelter when 1 possible, but it 1« not deemed possible that all have escaped. ... FONSECA BOWED OCT. Revolutionist Pressure Too Great for the 4v‘ Dictator. Dispatches from Rio de Janeiro bring the Intelligence that the opposition to Dictator Fonseca has gathered sufficient force to break through the barriers erected by the government to hold It in check and make itself master of the situation. All that Is known is that the uprising was so formidable that Fonseca considered It impossible longer to maintain his ascendency and has surrendered his authority. In retiring, or “resigning” as he called It. he declared that he did wo in favor of Florlauo Petxotto, the Vice-Chief of the Provincial Government, of which Fonseca was th? head. The news that Fonseca had resigned spread like wildfire. Everywhere it was received with enthusiastic cheers and exclamations of sat. isf action.

At Richmond, Va., an agreement was reached between the Virginia State Debt Commission and the Olcott Commission, representing the foreign bondholders. It provides that all bonds of the State not heretofore funded In Riddlebergors shall be lumped in a capital of $111,000,000, bearing 2 per cent, interest for ten years and 3 per cent, for ninety years. This will make the total Indebtedness of ihe state about $21,000,000, as about $8.000,)00 has already been funded in Rlddleberger 1 per cents.

An Old American Dime Museum Freak Drawing Crowds. At' London, the sensation of the week :omes from a music hall. It Is furnished by Miss Annie Abbott, the “Georgia Magnet," who Is exhibiting at the Alhambra, and every day the excitement increases over her performance, which Is not only being discussed In the ordinary critical way by the papers but they go so far as to write leaders on her. The reserved portions of Ihe house are closely booked a week ahead of time, a thing hitherto unknown in Lonton music halls. Many of the American colony, who believe the whole affair Is a gigantic fake, are laughing at the way staid Londoners are being humbugged TWENTY BUILDING# BURNED. Fire Destroys Properly tit Correctionville, . lowa. Va'ued at 880,000. Fire destroyed about twenty buildings at Correctionville, lowa. Inflicting a loss of 880,000. The heaviest losers uro G. W.

Y., fire broke out In a dime museum in the Bastlle Block on East Genesee street. The loss on the block Is' estimated at $50,000. and on goods about a like amount.

The Conflict Inevitable. A dispatch from Montevideo says that Fonseca has indignantly rejected the demand of the Rio Grand Junta for his resignation, and said that he would use all the mea sat hiscommand to bringthose whom he called rebels to obedience. In addition to the large force already sent to attack the troops of the Junta. Fonseca Is offering a large bounty and liberal pay for rel cruits. These are hot hard to get among j the numerous floating population of Rio I Janeiro, which includes many desperate characters from all parts of the world. I These are coming forward to take service ,In Fonseca’s army. Great indignation , has been aroused In Rio Grande at the prospect of having these mercenaries turned loose upon the people, should Fonseca prove victorious, and the consequence is a great stimulus to the voluntary recruiting for the Junta. For the present the policy of the Junta will probably be one of defense. The Junta has. however, given It to be distinctly understood that they are in arms for the liberties of Brazil. They Were Saved by a Tramp. The lives of a number of Burlington freight officials were saved by a tramp who halted a special composed of Manager Holdrege's private car and an engine forty feet from a partially burned bridge over a deep canon near Crawford, Neb. The bridge is 110 feet long, and three of Its bents had fallen. The tramp was given a purse, a hearty meal, and a pass to St. Joe, but he was on board No. 42 in a .later wreck at Leahy’s siding and was badly shaken up. The train was running forty miles an hour and was i stopped so suddenly that the passengers were distributed over the cars and badly bruised. Pittsburg to Relieve the Coal Famine. There are fair prospects of a relief of the coal famine in the South and West by the shipment of coal from Pittsburg. Pa. The rivers, which have been too low for boating purposes for several months, are rising and an effort will be made to send out enough coal to relieve the present wants of the South nt least. The towboat Seven Sons started with six barges for East Liverpool, 0., and others will get out if there is a rise of one or two feet more. The Pittsburg harbor is blocked with coal barges and fully 15,000,000 bushels is awaiting a boating stage of water. To Control the Phosphate Output. At Ocala. Fla., at a convention of those interested in the Florida phosphate industry, forty-four mining companies were represented by one or more delegates each. Six private miners also participated. The convention adopted a p'.an for a phosphate combination, which provides for the organization of the Florida phosphate syndicate which shall regulate the output of the mines, control the sale of rock and the handling of it. fix prices, etc. It will be managed by a board of directors with plenary powers. One of America’s Favorites Gone. W, J. Florence, the well-known comedian, died at Philadelphia. His sickness, which was of short duration, was at first considered as of little adcount; but the genial actor, though claiming that he treasure to get welL has been steadily losing strength and <m the afternoon of his death was unahl% saoept by great exerttoo, to coogh

Pangburn’s face continued swelling, and it now measures more than a foot across. The tooth continues growing, and Pangburn cannot open his jaws, which arc tightly pressed together. All the nourishment he receives is what he can sip between his teeth. His sufferings are terrible. BIG MEXICAN CONTRACT. A Harbor to Be Constructed at Coatzaeoalcos for 84,600,000.

At the open meeting on the first evening President Polk delivered his annual address. He began by calling attention to tho grave responsibilities which rest upon the members of the Supreme Council and predicting glor.'ous results if the power of the alliance was wisely directed. The speaker, after presenting an argument showing discrimination against the agricultural classes, proceeded to state their demands, saying: “We demand government control of transportation: we demand the retention of our public domain for the use of our own people; we demand the prohibition of gambling in futures of agricultural

complaints and protests of the anti-Sub-Treasury Alliance men. The letter produced the wildest confusion and disorder. Several members yelled out. “We don't want to hear anything from McAl ister. He has done more to destroy us than all our enemies put together. Down with his trick to sow discord among us. ” Finally a motion to appoint a committee of five to consider the protest,prevailed by a two thirds majority, and the convention also immediately adopted a resolution to stand by the Sub-Treasury plan. It was arranged that Dr. Yeamans present the protest before the National Alliance, and that a reply be permitted. Later, the committee of the antis was informed that they could not be heard unless they furnished the council with a copy of the protest. This the antis refused to do un ess they could present their protest in icrson, and that ended negotiations between the two wings of, the Alliance. Discussions upon many questions were spirited, but resulted in no decisive action. The election of o ncers resulted in the re ection ot L. L. Polk, President; J. H. Loucks, of South Lakota, Vice President: J. H. Turner was re-eiected Secretary Treasurer, and J. F. Willetts, of Kansas, National Lecturer. The committee on -confederation of the various industrial organizat:ons is composed cf five representatives from each of six organizations, and was chosen by the latter for the purpose of calling a congress of all the labor and industrial classes It had been decided previously to convene the congress at Washington, on Feb 22, but the South and West made such strong objections to that place that it became necessary to decide upon some other location. The matter occasioned lengthy discussion, and ended in reierring the question to a s b-committee. consisting of Messrs, 'lerrell, Taubeneck and Baumgarten, with instructions that either Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, or Springfield, 111., be chosen This committee will make a decis on soon.

Work and Wages.

At the recent meeting of the learned British Association there was a discussion of the difference in the wages of men and women doing the same work. The conclusion seemed to be that there is no great difference, after all, and therefore not much to discuss. The same matter is debated now and then in this country. All rightthinking people will agree that a woman is entitled to the pay which a man would receive for the same work, equally well done. Nevertheless, this does not mean that Alice Jones, who is a clerk jn Rupert & Co.’s dry goods store, and who stands at the counter beside James Stark, should have the sartie weekly wages as he. It is the universal custom to put more work and heavier upon the men, and usually the greater responsibility is laid on them. Moreover, it is a matter of common experience that men are less frequently compelled by illness to be absent from their work, and their power, of endurance is, in general, greater. . This is not all, for while it takes one man to marry one woman, the man usually continues at his employment after marriage, while the woman does not. It follows that a man, being more likely to stay and to learn the ins and outs of trade, is worth more to an employer than a woman who may marry and leave him at any time. It follows also that ih any employment where men and women are at work together, the average experience of the men is the greater. These facts do not excuse unfairness in giving wages to men and women, but they do explain away some things that seem unfair, and that turn out not to be so.—Youth’s Companion.

Missionary Joke.

One story from the American Board is almost too good to be true, viz.: That one Pittsfield lady reported to the committee that she could spare five rooms, but that they must send her one live missionary, a man from the Cannibal Islands preferred, and if he had been a little gnawed so much the better. The committee rose to' the occasion and sent her a Mr. Nordhoff, formerly of the Fiji Islands. We do not see how they could have done better unless they had assigned to her house an Eaton family.—Congregationalism

Girls in Turkey.

The Turkish girl of the present generation is expected to know as much about mathematics, geography, and the sciences as any average American girl, while in needlework and general housekeeping she surpasses her American sisters.

Ho left the city with his paity on Oct. 31st their absence to cover thiee weeks. Crossing the alkali deserts he began to show feelings of discomfort, and reaching the City of Mexico lhe air of the high altitude affected him so much that it was decided to return home at once. The party reached homo with the Governor a very s’ck man. From that time on he would have his hours of feeling better and his hours pf relapses. The rainy weather and the heavy atmosphere checked improvement, it becoming more and more difficult to restore the respiratory organs to their proper functions. On the day of his death he himself realized that his condition was extremely critical, but appeared to be hopeful. His mind was clear, and he talked occasionally in a reminiscent way. His messenger, Otto Pfafflin, ar. old veteran who attended him all through the war as a bugler, was constantly at his bedside, tenderly and devoted caring for him. During his waking hours the Governor persisted in talking with Pfafflin about war times, recalling wi h remarkable accuracy the scenes of blood, and carnage, and triumph through which they passed side by side. ‘Otto,” the Governor said, holding out his hand to the old bugler, “several persons have asked me since I got home why I didn’t go over the old battlefield of Champion’s Hill when at Vicksburg Otto, there was no pleasure io me In revisiting the scone where I lost so many gallant boys of my command. That was a fierce battle, lasting only about two uours, but with the superior position of Pemberton and the failure of MeClernand to obey Grant’s order and come to my assi tance, bringing with him information from Grant as to Pemberton’s . intentions, we ojitcltcsel. O, if McOlcrnand only hai obeyed Grant!”

The Governor showed much emotion and Otto stroked his forehead, assuring him that Mc.lernand was clearly to blame for the result, and the old warrior sank into peaceful s.eep again. As the day woj-e on h:s breathing became morn and more difficult. Dr. Hayes said that the immed ate cause of the patient’s dangerous condition was the damp atmosphere, which impeded his respiration. He said that c car weather would do for the sufferer what medicine could not and anx ously telephoned to signal service headquarters for information regarding the indications. The answer came that it would continue cloudy anl rainy all day, with a probable change to snow. The doctor’s countenance changed to an expression of despair as he turned from the telephone. The words were like a death-knell to the sufferer up-stairs. The Governor rapidly grew weaker, every breath was drawn with an effort. Mrs. Menzies, the Governor's daughter, and other friends and attendant s went out for a moment, leaving Major Menzies and Dr. Hayes remaining with him. Looking about the rcom, the dying man thought he saw his granddaughter. Miss Mary Menzies. She was always a favorite with him, and at sight of her. as he thought, his face brightened and he called out “Mary.” At that moment his heart stopped beating, and the pallor of death overspread his features. He was laid gently back among the pillows, and his family and friends were called in. As they gathered about the bed he drew one convulsive breath and was dead. Alvin P, Hovey was torn on a farm near Mount Vernon, Posey County, Ind , Sept, 6, 1821, and was educated in the country schools and by private teachers In 1840 he was a school teacher. and while so engaged pursued the study of law evenings, being admitted to the bar in 1842. He practiced witli success. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of Indiana in 1850.

He was elect d to Congress in 1886 on the Republican ticket, and two years ago was chosen Governor of Indiana. On the morning following the Governor’s death the remains were taken to the rotunda cf the Capitol, where they lay in state until the afternoon, when an impressive memorial service was held, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic The following morning the G. A. R posts and other civic and military bodies turned out and escorted the remains to the depot where a special train was in waitin ; to carry the body and a large escort to Mount Vernon, the Governor's old home, where the interment took p ace.

Some of these days Chicago will have a lynching in comparison with which the hanging of the Mafia assassins at New Orleans will appear trivial —Louisville.

The Chicago police are looking after the anarchists who seem to be growing bold again. It would seem that the last lesson should not have leen so soon forgotten—Peoria Transcript The insistance that the American flag be raised at a meeting of the anarchistsin Chicago a'ong with the red flag was very proper.

Your doer is merely the instru nent, the machine, to carry out the thought of the speaker, who lights the fuse. We need not always wait for the explosion.—Milwaukee Sentinel. The Chicago anarchists are again demanding public attention. The only time when these fellows appeared to any advantage was on that cold 11th of November, 1887. So brilliant was that event that the five red-shirted victims who were the guests of Chicago at that time have never come back to object to the amenities of the occasion.—Columbus Journal.

Dom Pedro is announc d as a deep sympathizer with the people of Brazil.

Dom Pedro says he is “ready tb return if the nation desires dis presence, in order in his old age to render a final service to the union, integrity and greatness to his fatherland.” Really the exEmperor is too kind —Minneapolis Tribune. It was a pathet’c p’eture to see old Dom Pedro sailing from Brazil an exile and a deposed monarch, but it is absolutely pitiful to see him looking across the water to his distracted country and hoping to be recalled. There is not much of the emperor in it, but much of the foolish old man that touches the. heart deeply.—Baltimore Herald.

Pale Luna’s Eclipse. There was an eclipse on the moon's eclipse, but nevertheless science got ip. some of its best work on the uneclipsed part of the proceeding.—Washington. Star.

When she was all ready for the ec’ipse the moon quietly drew her face behind a bank of gray clouds. It seemed an act of delicate shyness very worthy of pale Luna.
