TWO Fight a NEW ORLEANS EDITORS Duel with ltaplera, Aetna the Louisiana Line. New Orleans, July 8.—A party from this city crossed the Tnnm«a line and fought a duel with rapiers. The princi pals were L. P. Bouby, editor of L'Orleams, and A. S. Carruthers, editor of The Mascot. Present besides the principals were Messrs. BiLstein, Heidemann, Serres, and Judge Bnisson, Drs. DcGrange and David. Each party had a pair of ra piers. Bouby won the toss for weapons and selected his own; time was called, and the deal commenced. During the encounter Carruthers was cut below the eye, and notwithstanding the manifest desire of the two combat ants to continue the fight, the doctors and seconds decided unanimously that honor was satisfied, and that the two adversaries had given sufficient proof of their courage and dignity. Suhsequent- 1}’ a reconciliation took place on the field of honor. The trouble between the duelists grew out of articles published in their re spective papers. Near Snnnyside, In A, a station fifteen miles east of Danville, a man, on whore >on was found a letter addressed to J. George in care of Insane hospital, tlirew himself in front of the midnight passenger train and was instantly hillari. A Newport, R. L, special says: W.

Cincinnati, July 8.—As the time ap proaches for the Democratic state con vention, the fight between Campbell and anti-Campbell men grows more bitter. The farmers are forcing the fighting, and at the present time seem to have very much the best of it. They captured the big delegation from Starke county, although it was thought that the Neul men would win there. An effort is being made now to bring ont Hou. John A. McMahon, one of the most popular Democrats in the state ns a candidate, but the Campbell men will not listen to anything but the nom ination of their man. Most of the counties will elect their delegates next Saturday. It will then be possible to determine fully whether or not the opposition to Campbell has iny chonce. Of the twenty-eight coun ties Which have chosen delegates, twenty-one have instructed forCamp- liell, three have declared for Neal, three are divided and one has two delegations. TO HONOR CLEVELAND.

London, July 8.—A court of inquiry has for some time been taking testimony with the view of determining the Btate of mind of Mrs. Cathcart, a Stafford shire lady of means. Mrs. Cathcart has oeen confined ln the Hockhampton Asylum, but it is claimed that she not insane and is able to manage her own affairs. Dating the examination of a witness this morning an excited woman suddenly rushed to tbe front of Ibe court, wildly whirling an umbrella over her head, and shouted :— “Protect the woman; she has been foully treated. So have L Protect her you English jurymen.” The woman continued screaming and shouting so that the witness under ex amination, 'Mr. Cathcart, the plaintiff in the case, was badly frightened. The excited woman noticing bis scared ap pearance, tried to strike him over the jicaiauuv) v* no Dead with her umbrella. Finally the Commissioner in Lunacy oidered the woman to be removed from the court room. Several policemen tried to obey tbe Commissioner’s or der, but the woman resisted so stub bornly that the police offioers bad to carry her, struggling and screaming biting and kicking, out of the coutt room CONDENSED NEWS DISPATCHES, ! : Tt.UTH SHALL TRIUMPH. Messrs. Flint & Co., New York, have received a cable from the Rio Janeiro house, stating that the Brazilian cabinet has been reorganized with Lucena as minister of the treasury. The appoint ment of Lucena, who was minuter of agriculture to the portfolio of the treas ury is received with universal satisfac tion. Corn merchants at St. Petersburg have taken advantage of the scarcity of rye to create a "corner” in that com modity. "Cornering” is illegal, but can be pursued with impunity by bribing officials. The famine is so serious that The Qrashdanim' thanks the German chancellor for instituting a prohibitive tariff which prohibits the export of grain from Russia. Acting Secretary of State Wharton, declined to talk about the formal de clination of the Chinese government to receive ex-Senator Blair as United States minister to that country.

A TALE OF A KEY. At Washington, Acting Secretary Net- tleton directed that S. C. Osborn of New York city, be paid $150 for work done in in onning on Henry Metz of Palo, Ills., for violating the alien contract labor law. The case was tried in the courts aud Mr. Metz was fined $1,000. Tbe law provides that the informer shall receive 15 per cent, of the judgment re covered. Mr. Osborn is the first roan under the law to receive his proportion as informer. Eighteen Mormon missionaries have sailed from New York, for Liverpool. These missionaries were selected by Wilfred Woodruff, head of the Mor mons in Utah, from among the farmers, carpenters and other trades. They will visit Englaud, Ireland, Scotland and Germany, preaching in tbe small towns and villages. Their expenses are borne by tbe Mormon church, and their ob ject is to make converts to that church. They will remain abroad two years. At Berlin, Dr. Leidig has raised a sensation by accruing Professor Berg- rnann and Dr. Hahn of experimenting with cancer inoculations since 1887 on hospital patients without their knowl edge or consent. Drs. Bergmann and Hahn admit the truth of the charge, but they claim that ill every case the pa- tiout has been past recovery. They add as an excuse that it is necessary to se lect human beings for experiment, as the lower animals are unsuitable.

Omaha, Neb., July 8.—A banquet was given at the Omaha dub in honor of General Rutherford B. Hayes, com mander-in-chief of the Loyal Legion of the United States, by the Nebraska commandery. Major Paddock, com mander of the Nebraska division, open ed in a speech, and Lieutenant Hawood dilivered a welcome to the guest of the evening. General Haves responded at length. He outlined the history of the order and spoke of the past as indicating its future. He eschewed any political reference, and confined his remarks en tirely to the Loyal Legion. He paid a glowing tribute to Lincoln. Death at a Da On the wall of an “Old Curiosity Shop.” Belgrade street, above Frankford road, bangs a key made of iron % foot in length, and the wards rusted up. it fitly represents the old time belief that the best guarantee for security against thieves was a big lock and a key like a sledge hammer, bat this rusty iron has a history, and is associated with a record of human passions, hopes and frailties that once guided and controlled the lives of several people. There was a time when the Delaware front above Callowhill street was beau tiful with fine shrubbery, and men in the boat and spar yards worked under the shade of big willows whose long branches trailed in the water. This was especially the case at Grayley’s timber yard. The old brick house on the hn.nL of the river was covered with ivy and shadowed by a small grove of elms, made musical in spring. by the whistle of the blackbirds and martins. Here lived Martin Bentz with his wife and daughter. He was Mr. Grayley’s man aging man—kept his books, paid the hands and sold the timber. The office was in a corner room in the house, and to the wall was built the safa It didn’t pretend to be fireproof, but both old Gray lay and his clerk believed that all the burglars to the state could not get into it, and every night he locked the door with serious mien and much delib eration. and then banded the key to Martin, who kept it till next morning. To one of our modern artists it would be a pleasant hoar's work to open the old strong box with a keyhole that yon coaid pat Sour three fingers in; but these were primitive days, and old Martin felt safe as long as the key was in his possession. Bentz was a German by birth, but his wife American, bred and born in Fish- town. Although the couple were not always accordant in opinion, on one sub ject they agreed, and that was about the beanty and excellence of their daughter Mabel, and parental judgments are often fallible, but there could be no question to Mabel Bentz’s merits. She was not only a good daughter but a very beauti ful girl No race ln America produces more lovely women than the German Americans, and there could be no better illustration of this than Martin Bentz’s daughter. She was not much liked by tbe neigh boring girls, rs they were rather a rough lot to those days, much given to promts coons dances that generally ended to a free fight among their admirers, so MabeL by avoiding them, got the credit of being proud. She was assistant in a millinery store on Second street, and was never without an escort home, but very few were permitted to come to the house, and the girl herself was circum spect and as yet indifferent to the ad vances of any of her male acquaintances. She had two persistent suitors, both young men, one—George Graham—was a boat builder, a fair, manly fellow, and an excellent mechanic, bnt be was not handsome, and. whiiea favorite with the old man, Mrs. Bentz had a very pro nounced dislike for him. The other. Peter Daily, was a very showy yonng man. ostensibly a plumber, bnt he was seldom known to work; and yet he wore good clothes and always seemed to have plenty v of money. He was rather good looking, but there was a shifty expression in bis hard, gray eyes that was not prepossessing; bnt he was Mm. Bentz’s favorite. If was Martin’s custom to bang the safe key over the mantelpiece, and it seemed to give him much pleasure to Bit and watch it He was given to moderate potations, and at times was boastful and indiscreet in speech One Friday night the family were assembled in their one sitting room, and both Graham and Daily were present Martin was telling of a big sale of timber iie had made for Mr. Grayley, and bow the price, some $2,500, had been paid in that day Daily’s eyes looked more furtive than ever, and MabeL glancing over her sewing, thought how mean his expression was at times, but the talk became general, and Daily soon left Next evening he was again a visitor, bringing with him a friend, a tall, thin, showily dressed man; he had also brought Martin a bottle of brandy. This was opened and the old man became quite conviviaL Suddenly a tremen dous crash was heard outsida The .en tire party made a rush for the door, all but Daily’s thin friend He, quick as a cat, mounted a chair, and taking down the safe key substituted another, in looks much the same. The others came back in a few moments; it was only a pile of spars that had fallen—no doubt the work of the bad boys that infested the wharfs. Daily and his friend went away and George Graham came in, and was soon deeply engaged in conversa tion with MabeL . As was the custom, the parents withdrew, and George be gan to explain to Mabel his improving prospects and his desire that she should become his wife. The gifl’s tempera- his face. As I live, it is Philip Daily, the scoundreL What have you got In your hand'T George looked. “Why, it is surely the safe bey.”. Martin was amazed. The genuine was certainly in its accustomed place in the house' and yet the safe had .been opened. Comparison of tbe two at once made tbe plan of the robbery manifest—the key to Graham’s hands had been the means of bringing Daily to justice and he went to jail with a very sore head. Graham re newed his suit, but Mrs. Bentz bad evi dently resolved that,he should not marry her daughter, and Mabel had not force if character enough to act independent .y; so George, bidding them all goodby left, and next daj they heard that he bad shipped on a vessel bound for India Mabel mourned his absence, and, as is if ten the case, fonnd that she loved him more than she had imagined, bnt three years passed away and no word came from her old lover. Martin Bentz’s health began to fail znd his wife thought that it was time for ber daughter to marry. Mr. Grayley bad a nephew named Sands, who worked •round the place, and he had been pay ing Mabel tnnch attention, and finally spoke to ber mother, and after much persuasion and some secret tears the girl accepted him and they were mar ried. Sands was not a bad fellow, bnt he was utterly feeble in character, and after four years of dull and spiritless married life Mabel found herself a child less widow. Her father was dead, and when her mother spoke of hor marrying again Mabel said, with unusual firm ness; “Mother, your interference broke up my life, and 1 will not allow it to in fluence me again. Don’t speak to me about these matters, as you only give me pain.” George Graham had prospered as a sailor, and one day he came to Philadel phia. captain of a magnificent clipper ship. He had cargo consigned to a firm on Delaware avenne. and went to their counting bouse and was very politely re ceived. Captains were bigger people then than now. Glancing around he saw hanging on the wall a large key. Mem ory at once recalled the house in the boatyard and his lost sweetheart “Yon are looking at that key,” said one of the partners: “well, that belonged to an ancle of mine named Grayley. It has a history, and when the old house was torn down I kept this as a memento.” Graham was silent for a moment and then asked. “Do you know anything of the family that lived to your ancle’s house?” “The Bentzesl Oh, yes, my uncle left old Martin’s widow $100 a year as long as she lives. We pay it to her. Her widowed daughter. Mrs. Sands, a very pretty and good woman, comes for it, and, by the by. it’s due today, and here she comes. Do you know her?” Graham was strongly moved. He met her at tbe door and said. “Mabel, do yon remember me?” Poor girl! She stared at him for a moment and then burst into tears. “Oh. yes, George. 1 remember you well” The sequel needs no telling. Captain Graham made bnt one more voyage and then married his early love Old Mrs Bentz. fortunately, died soon afterward The old key bad - been a talisman and it bung In the dingy office with a tag on telling from whence it came, nntil a new generation came to, and then it was thrown in the rubbish, and now hangs battered, rusty and forlorn on the wall of a rag shop.—Philadelphia Press. dent'occurred at McDonald, Washing- Washingion, Pa., July 8.
