EE MEETS TWO DESPERADOES
AND WHIPS THE FIGHT,
Killing One and Making ths Other
Jump Into the River—He
' Was Not Hurt
Manchester, 0., Dec. 21.—Harry
Blue and his wife recently came here
from Colorado. Since his arrival he has
been spending his time in mad carousal
and exhibitions of his cow-boy proficien
cy. Monday, in company with Thomas
Bouvard, who lives in Lewis county,
Kentucky, he proceeded to get drunk,
and, as he termed it, “paint the town
red.” The marshal, Robert McChesney,
hearing of their conduct, followed them
up and attempted to place them under
arrest.
He placed Ins left hand on Bouvard
and, as ho did so, Bouvard and Blue
pulled their pistols and commenced
tiring at him. McChesney also pulled
his pistol and returned the fire. For a
short time the sound of cracking pistols
and whistling of balls was suggestive of
fearful carnage, as the street was crowd
ed with people at the time. After the
first two shots Bouvard reeled back a
few paces and fell dead on his face with
a bullet in his breast. Blue, after emp
tying the chambers of his pistol, fled to
the river and crossed to the Kentucky
side in a skiff.
It has since been learned that Blue
received a bullet wound in his left side.
Frank Pummel, a by-standor, received
a stray ball in the knee. The wound is
such as to cripple him for life. Mc-
Chesney, the marshal, was shot through
his overcoat. Otherwise he escaped un
injured. Coroner Purdy, after viewing
the remains and hearing the testimony,
pronounced the death justifiable homi
cide. The deceased was taken to his
home for burial. Officers are after Blue,
and he will soon be brought in.

cab, alighted and attempted to move
Lyons and his rig by force. Lyons
warned him off, and when he did not
go used his whip on the club man’s aris
tocratic legs with vigor. Lorillard was
driven into the hotel, where h« sought

uty sheriff and his assistant were re
moved.

- 0-
Ajj&iust the Unjust Criticisms’of Some
Prominent New York People.
» Pittsburg, Dec. 20.—The United Pres
byterian ministers of Pittsburg, burn
ing under the rebuke administered to
them by the most prominent divines of

association, and a resolution is now be
ing prepared.
A week ago the New York Herald
published interviews with all prominent
divines of that city on the attitude of
Pittsburg ministers towards dissoluts
women of the town, against whom a re
lentless war was then being waged.
W ith but few exceptions the action of
the Pittsburg ministers was ‘denounced
in emphatic language. It was in retali
ation for these ministerial criticisms
that Revs. Messrs. Robinson and Mc-
Creery got together and proposed tho
action taken by the United Presbyterian
association.
When the smoke of the animated dis
cussion had cleared away, the associa
tion, as a body, had adopted a resolution
setting forth that the criticism of the
New Yorkers had been most unjust and
uncalled for, and that they were uttered
without a knowledge of the existing
state of affairs in Pittsburg. The sec
retary was then instructed to have cop
ies sent to New York ministers.

THE SULTAN’S CHARMERS-
Four Beautiful Female Slaves Murdered
I in the Harem.
I <u- iT'ANTiNOPLE, Dec.,2o.—Fourbeau
f nale slaves were recently i>re
sented by the Kiieaive pt vu ihc
Sultan of Turkey and placed in the im
£ erial harem. The odalisques appear to
ave had a captivating influence on the
I Sultan, who paid them so much atten
tiod as to excite the jealousy of the other
women. The four beahtiful slaves were
found murdered in their beds a few days
ago, victims of poison. The sultan was
deeply enraged when he heard of the
fate of his favorites, and ordered a rigid
1 investigation.
Three eunuchs who had access to the
apartments of the victims have been ar
rested on suspicion, and were subjected
; to torture, to make a full confession,
i Suspicion of having instigated the crime
I rests on one of the concubines who, un
, til the arriyal of the odalisques, monop
olized the sultan’s affections. In the
present temper of his majesty it is
doubtful whether even she would es
| cape the bowstring or the Bosphorus, if
sufficient proof of her guilt be adduced.
