A DUEL ON THE "AMERICAN PLAN"
Ee Killed Himself Because of an
Agreement with an Enemy.
From the -Veto York Tiibune.
Omaha. Nbb., Sept. 10.—In the reports
which have come to this city of the suicide
of Oers Barothy, formerly of Omaha, dis
appointment in love was assigned as the
cause of the melancholy act. Recent dis
closures, however, prove that such was not
the case. The publication of the story in the
local papers attracted the attention of
thousands, and among them two brothers
of the deceased. These came to town Friday.
The elderof the two is a magnificent looking
man, named K. Barothy. tie is the agent
at West Point, in this state, for the Lin
ir.ger Metcalf Implement Company of
Omaha. The othor is a young man, A.
Barothy, who is a drug clerk in Wisner.
also m this state. Both were greatly ex
cited over the shooting, and produced evi
dence to show that tueir brother had not
killed himself because of an affair of the
heart. The evidence came, as it w ere,from
the grave, because it was couched in words
written by the suicide on Sept. Id, the day
of his death.
The letter was received yesterday. It
was written on mourning note paper and
inclosed in an envelope with a deop black
margin. It was a long missive in the Hun
garian language, and was written in a bold
uud firm hand. It told of the intended
suiciie. and stated that the act was iu recog
nition of the pledge to kill himself, given
three years ago in his native land to an
enemy with whom he had a personal quar
rel. Young Barothy was a Hungarian.
He possessed the indomitable spirit of his
race. His persona) honor was dearer than
life itself. Three years ago on Kept. IS, lie
was mortally offended by an officer iu the
army at home. He challenged the soldier.
The challenged man accepted, with the usu il
privilege of selecting the weapons, or the
means to be used of satisfying the
honor of both parties. In Hungary there
are threo methods allowable in such oon
testb —the sword, the pistol, nr what is
termed the “American plan.” The last con
sists in each party drawing one of two
bulls, a white or black. iho man who
draws the black ball is bound to dispose of
himself, cither by shooting, hanging, or
drowning, or in any other manner which
may be decided upon before the balls are
drawn. Barothy drew the blade, or un
lucky ball. It had been agreed that the
drawer of the unlucky one should kill him
self by shooting on the third anniversary of
the duel. That anniversary took place on
Wednesday. That night Oers walked to
the shore of Lake Michigan, in Chicago,
and, in remembrance of his word and
honor, sent three bullets into his body and
died.
For three years the fate that re ted on
his own bands seemed to cast a shadow
over his life,' which was dispelled only in
the company of congenial companions, and
yet not a mortal knew the cause of his
despondency save his adversary and the
seconds in the duel. When he was leaving
Omaha he did not call on his brothers, be
cause, as ho said in his letter to them, he
feared that their influence might induce
him to remain in Omaha. Onca while visit
ing his brother in West Point both took a
drive. The buggy was upset and Oers was
injured. The elder brother wept over him
in his pain, but Oors bore his
injuries bravely, and wished that he had
been killed. On the day of his death Oers
bought a box of mourning stationery con
taining twelve envelopes and sheets of
paper. Yesterday the box was forwarded
to bis brother at West Point. In it were
only four sheets and envelopes. The others
had been used in informing his brothers,
his adversary and the seconds in the duel
of the approaoh of his death. With these
envelopes came all the photographs he had
received from his brothers and fiom Henry
Pundel of this city, one of which was of
one of the latter’s little daughters, whom
Oers had greatly admired.
He stated that he did not fear to die. and
that be did not want his brothers to doubt
him because be died in defense of his honor
and his word. K. Ba othy said that Mrs.
Sherwood had tn no manner influenced his
brother’s suicide, and the reason ho bad not
returned her photograph was lest the act
would lead to a suspicion that something
was wrong, and that he might be sought
and prevented from accomplishing the act
which ho thought preserved the honor of
himself and family. When the excitement
incident to the suicide shall have sub
sided the remains will be buried in Tremont,
in this state.
ACCUSED OF WITCHCRAFT.
A Young Squaw Burned to Death by
Mojave Indians in California.
From the Nero York -Tun.
San Francisco, Sept. 16.—The story
comes from goo 1 authority at Los Angeles
of the burning of a young squaw bv Mojave
Indians, because she was accused of preach
ing witchcraft. The scene of the torture was
near the Colorado river in the eastern end
of San Beruadmo county. For the past
two months a strange disease has attacked
members of the tribe, who live in a state of
semi-barbarism. The victims were seized
with violent headaches, purging, and a
gradual stiffening of the limbs. In many
cases the sufferois showed all the symp
toms of poisoning. Death usually followed
within twelve hours from the time of the
attack. It was said that at least twenty of
the most popular men in the tribe have
died from this mysterious disease.
The medicine men of the tribe belabored
the patients with sticks in order to drive the
evil spirit out of the burning body, and in
the case of Stone Hoad, a sub-chief, the
doctors dragged the patient through the
waters of the Colorado to cloanse him of
the evil spirit, which it was supposed had
taken possession of him. The spread of the
disease at last became so alarming that the
members of the tribe I ecame panic-stricken
and slaughtered their dogs and burros as a
sacrifice to appease the anger of the Great
Father.
This proving of no avail a council was
held while the moon was iu its last quarter.
Every buck in the tribe was present. The
medicine men sat around a huge pot, whicu
was filled with herbs, while the bucks wore
squatted in a semicircle some distance away.
The medicine men watched the steaming of
the herbs until the m ss had been boiled
down to a teacupful of liquid. Thou a male
pigeon and his mate were taken from a
wicker basket and held by the modicino
inen while the liquid from the herbs was
poured down their throats. The male bird
whon released flew away and was not seen
again. The female bird fluttered a few
yards, and then fell, helpless and dying, to
the ground. The medicine men now seomod
crazed with excitement. They leaped to
their feet and dances! demoniacally, w-hile
the bucks sat in sullen silence.
While the medicine men wore iu the
midst of their orgies they declared that
there was a witch in the tribe. The female
l ; r! hod died, while tho male bird had
flown away into the night. This test de
termined tho ox of the witch.
W hen the bucks heard these words of the
medicine men they became wild with rage.
Each brave suspected tho other of harbor
ing the witch in his teepee or hut, hut a
final test was to bo made. With yell* and
imprecations tho frenzied reds drove their
W’ l mien to the place where the council had
fin'll held, and where the white pigeon still
’#y among the herbs and gruss. lhe squaws
"ere driven past ill single file, the medi
cine men watching tho face of each
** she passed tho bird whose plumage
| okod like snow in tho bright moon
light. Nearly all the women passed the
Dgeon without giving it any notice. Finally
* young squaw, the daughter of Creso, also
& sub-chief, stepped out of the rank* and
w *s about to pick up the bird when the
,M ‘ l;oiiio meu, with loud yells. Seized the
g' 1 and pinioned her arms. The uu
*ol’i 'male squaw pleaded piteously for her
fife, which *he seemed to foresee "as in
Paril, but her cries were of no avail, her
relatives assisting in dragging her to
th council place, i lie death of the female
Pigeon was conclusive evidence that a
“ihaw was the witch. The first squaw to
wwb the bird was the fatal test f guilt.
The p:cr girl, who was only 18 years old,
was stripped of her clothing, tied to a stake,
mid a slow fire built under her. For two
hours she lingered iu awful agony, and
v. hile her death screams filled the air, the
braves danced about the fire and the medi
cine men performed incantations. When
morning came nothing but the whitened
bones of the girl and the black embers of
the fire remained about the stake. The dis
ease from which So many of the Mojave
braves have died is believed to he malig
nant typhoid fever. The details of this
strange story- were brought to Los Angeles
by- ranchers who had been attracted to the
camp of the Indians by- the noises which at
tended the terrible death of the girl.
CLARKSVILLE'S CEMETERY.
A Grave Which Brings to Mind the
Story of a Drowning.
Clarksville, Ga., Sept. 22.—Clarks
ville is situated on a piece of ground re
sembling the angry waves of the ocean. On
the top of these waves may be seen nice
cottages and handsome residences. In the
oenter of the place is situated the large
court house of Habersham county.
At the Alleghany bouse,Savannah is rep
resented by the following: Mrs. A. A.
Aveilhe, Miss Ida Aveiliie, Miss Freddy
Honreichsen, Mr. and Mrs. \V. W. Dowell,
Mr. and Mrs. F. Eugene Din-bee and Col.
Alexander, formerly of Savannah, but now
of South Florida, wiiere ho has au immense

Miss d’Autignao, Miss Jennie d’Antignuc,
Mrs. George A. Allen. Miss Allen, Miss
Campbell and Mrs. S. H. Cohen. Atlanta,
Athens and other points come in for their
shure. George O wens of Savaunah is also
stopping in town.
AN OLD CEMETERY.
The cemetery hero is said to be over 100
years old. It civers one acre of ground. A
greit many people brought. from
tho country fir interment, both white and
colored, are buried here, and there is room
for more.
In order to correct au erroneous im
pression caused by descriptive catalogues
published about Tallulah falls, containing
several verses and a description of the
drowning of the Rev. Hugh Hawthirue,
saving that his body win never found. It
may be said that his tomb, which is a square
case of granite, upon which is a marble
slab, is in the ciarkosviile cemetery At its
side is growing the well-known Hawthorn
bush. The inscription is as follows:
IX
memory of
Rev. II cob Hawthorne,
A Presbyterian clergyman, Chaplain and
profeasor in l>r. Mark’s Female Seminary,
near Columbia, S. 0. Born in Ireland,
Parish Garvaghy, county P<own. and
accidentally drowned when hatuing at the
falls of Tallulah, near this place, July 11,
183?. Aged 80 years and 6 months.
Traces of another line, and four linos of
verses are so worn by the dripping of rain
from the trees, that it is impossible to read
them.
STORY OF THE FINPINO.
Mrs. C. I. N. L. Sta-ford, nee Mips
Charlton, sister to the lute Dr. Charlton,
was at the falls at the time that the body
was found about dark at tha lower end of
the pool, just beneath the lodge of rock
above Tempesta. The gentlemen present
not being aide to get it out that nigat
bound it to a piece of plank with their suv
pendors and pieces of cord, rope, etc., mik
ing it fast to a pole or sapling. Tiiat night
the waters rose, caused by rains, the body
floated up and the friction of tho bindings
against the rocks cut them loose and tho
body floated over Tempesta falls, 86
feet, and then down the river. A search
was made, and about the fourth or fifth day
it was discovered near the next fall. It was a
hard task to get it up from the chasm, nearly
600 feet high, and almo t perpendicular.
Mr. Alley, then quite a lad, made the hook
with which they brought the body out. The
ages of tho-e who are tiuried hero seem to
run among the seventies and eighties.
A CLUSTER OF MOUNTAINS.
North of Clarksville is tho cluster of
mountains embracing the celebrated Tal
lulah falls.
Tho Naeoochee valley is situated among
the foot hills of the Blue Ridge on one side
and Yonah mountain on tha other. Yonah

rated from tho ridge, and with its pictur
esque peak cliff.
Anna Rtiby falls, eight miles from Ingle
wood, are 235 feet in hight.
Gold mines are being operated within
three or four miles of here.
Among Savannah’s representatives, most
Srominent are Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Whatley,
[rs. W. G. Woodfin, Mrs. S. B. Adams and
family, and at all the places comeatable is
found the names of A. S. Nichols and

A VETERAN OF THE THROTTL3.
A Sketoh of Henry C. Rawortb, the
Oldest Living Engineer.
The oldest living locomotive eugineer is
now enjoying a ripe old ago in Auguita,
Ga.
At his homo on lower Telfair street,
a hale and genial old gentleman, well
past the allotted three score and
ten years, is enjoying the evening
of an honorable and useful life among rela
tives and friends. This gentleman is Henry
G. Rawortti, and ho enjoys the proud dis
tinction of having pulled the lever on the
first locomotive ever used on tho South
Carolina railroad. He adds to this the re
markable record of more than half a cen
tury of continuous service on the same road.
He has held the throttle on every style of
locomotive, from the crudest engine to the
finest mogul, and has witnessed tie evolu
tion from twelve miles an hour, over a
rickety track, to sixty miles over steel rails
and a rock-ballasted roadbed. He has kept
pace with the im roved machines, and
when, at the age of 15, he stepped from the
engineer’s cabror the last time, it was from
failing eyesight, and not because of any
jack of ability to discharge the (duties of the
position.
During twenty-eight years of Mr. Ha
worth’s career ho had but ono fireman—a
negro—of whose faithful services he speaks
in terms of unstinted praise. When first
employed and for many years afterwards
this man was a slave, his owner having con
tracted bis services to tho railway company
for au average consideration of a dollar a
day. When ho bee ime a trei man he still
continued to work as a fireman, receiving
the same wages paid others, and contin
uing at his pi st until four years ago,
when he died. During his long service
on the Soil'll Carolina road (ho
was never employed on any other) Mr.
Haworth onlv had one accident, which oc
curred in 1852, and was the result of the
washing away of a culvert. He claims to
have killed less stock than did any other
engineer on tho road. When the “Best
Friend,” which was the first locomotive
built in this country, was received at Char
leston, Mr. Rawortn was an apprenMco in
the shops of the S uth Carolina road, and
ho helocd to put it up for service. Ho
attributes his good health, which has
always boon perfect, to his habits of life,
not a drop of intoxicating liquor ever hav
ing passed his lips.

A PONTOON BRIDGE.
Some Teople Think It a Good Structure
for Augusta.
From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Some people think a pontoon bridge
would be just the thing for Augusta in the
present emergency.
When Mr. Corbett’s suggestion was read
in the Chronicle the cheapness and expedi
tiousness with which such a structure could
be built impressed themselves upon all. It
was suggested then only as a temporary
expedient. It could be built si much sooner
than an ordinary bridge, and would be so
much superior to a ferry. But since the
matter has been bruited, the question is
asked: Why not build a pontoon bridge to
serve as a permanency!
Tho last issue of Harper's Weekly con
tains a cut and description of tho pontoon
bridge across the Missouri river, connecting
Nebraska City with East Nebraska City.
The bridge is now over 1,200 feet long and
contains a large draw, which requires one
man to operate it. The boauty of the pon
toon bridge is that it rises and fills with
the water in the river, and always floats
above the high tide- When the Missouri
river freezes and bridges are in danger of
being crushed by the ice, the pontoon bridge
is simply taken Out of the river and
anchored on the bank until danger is past.
The same course could be pursued in Au
gusta in the case of a dangerous rise. In the
opinion of some people a pontoon bridge
would be the very thing needed.
A FORGER WITH NERVE.
Capture of a Man who Tried to Work
a Second Game.
From the Cincinnati Times Star.
When 8. G. R oe, tho box factory man,
stood at tho counter in the Fourth National
bank lost Saturday and drew his check for
a sum of money, another man stood ever
him and wa'.ched him as he signed his name
to the check.
He also looked at the check intently.
After Riee had got his money and walked
out the stranger made out a check similar
to the ono he had seen Mr. Rice make out
and signed the name of G. K.ce to it in ex
actly the same style of writing tiiat gentle
man employed. He then stepped up to
Paying Teller J. M. Anderson and pre
sented the forged check, and received $l6O.
Mr. Anderson at first objected to paying
the money, but the stranger claimed that
ho had just got the check from Rice, a id
that Rice bail gone too far up the street to
be called back. Without suspecting that
anything was wrong, Anderson gave him
the in nay. This morning the fellow again
called and presented a check for #llO,
signed by the same parly. In the mean
time Mr. Anderson had made an investiga
tion, and found that the check was forged.
It was, therefore, with a great deal of
sati f-mtioii t hut he saw the fellow come into
the hank, iu the hope of working the same
game in,ce more. Mr. Ando,son called
Officer Stengor in, and ordered the arrest
of the si ranger. At the police station he
gave his name as L. H. Gorman. The bold
ness of the fellow in trying to work the
some racket twice in tho same plaoo is what
staggers tne police authorities.
THE OPERA GLASS SCHEME
You Drop lO Cents In the Blot and
Get a Pair of Good Glasses.
From the TVVw York World.
Mechanical ingenuity has made it possible
to rent opera glasses at the theater on the
drop of a nickel in tho slot automatic prin
ciple. A company has been duly incorpo
rated under the name of tho Manhattan
Opera Glass Supply Company, with a capi
tal stock of #IOO,OOO. Tne president is Conrad
Jordan, and associated with him are Ed Gil
more, Eugene Tompkins, Judze Fullerton
and Alex. Comstock. The scheme is a novel
one. It is proposed to place on the back of
every alternate chair in the theaters a
small box, plush llnod, about 4 inches
square, with a beveled glass door. In this
box will rest the opera glasses. A small
slot just large enough to admit a 10-cent
piece will be punctured at fe top, and
when tho theater-goor wants to get a pair
of glasses he can drop In his 10-cent piece,
the glass door will open and there are his
opera glasses.
The incorporators have already ordered
1,400 glasses from Lamartine, the famous
French maker, and the consignment will be
here in a few days. The opera glasses will
not be chained to the soat and tho company
will trust to the honesty of the lessee to re
turn them. The glasses will be of first-class
make as far as the lenses go, but tho rest
will be of bright scarlet and have tho name
of the theater in sunken letters on the side.
They will be tried first at the
Academy of Musio some time this
month, and then, as soon as the glasses
can be made, they' will be put into
the Holliday Street Theater, Baltimore;
White’s Theater, Detroit; Columbia Theater,
Chicago, and the Broadway Theater here.
The theaters all over the country are wait
ing to find out about the scheme. It is
claimed that if 25 per cent, of the glasses
are stolen and only 50 per cent, of the re
mainder are used every night the company
will be able to declare a handsome dividend.
If the scheme becomes universal, it will kill
thp opera-glass trade, for it is cheaper to
pay 10 cents for the use of a pair for an
evening than to pay $lO for a pair and lose
them in a street car going horns.
The Best Time to Buy Valuables.
This is the dull season ot the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes —hut itdoeiu’l go for. Tho purchasing
power of a dollar now Is something surpris
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollar’s worth for 100
oents just to keep things moving. Within
the pas', few months we hare added to our
stock in various wav*, new ideas, new con
cei's, new trick* anil quips in jewelry, and
so on. We’ve got to keep up, you Know,
with the strides of inventive aiid artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we toill sell very
close to move tome of it. This is a good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer a line par excellence c!
I.adieu’ fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gent’s Watches and Jewelry, etc.
All of these article* can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Home
