That correspondence, in the handwriting of Bau reiseu, him wed that Bowles was doing some budn ss that was very secret; that lie must he caretul that no one «us watching him; that if he believed that if the man ne sus pected was really f Bowing him, to shoot him, and then telling him not to buy any wateli put nn end to the encounter. The wau'id is a severe one, but, c»n account of the hemorrhage, the d* etors were unable to dt chle whether it was likely to prove serious. The da* l was fiercely fought. General BouUnger tried hard »o kill Floquet, aud threw himself upon him again find again. When Fkquet received the wound in the bai:il and bewnn to b!:ed, the seconds de- ci '•*({ that the tight should be discontinued, but both combatants refused to stop. It is now believed that the wound in Genend Boulanger's throat is a serious one. M. Floquet received scratches on h.s hand and foot.

At present tlie doctor is u able to give an opin ion as to what turn the case may take. Boulanger arrived first at tue place of meeting. He pae. d the walk with his sec- suds while awaiting the coming of Floquet, who arrived at Iu.lO o’clock. While the seemols were ex during the garden, search- iig for a snot for the duel, Fioqact, Without betraying any emotion, walked , to ami fro conversing with frlen’ds. At the sums time Boulanger, to begin (lie fighting. There was a large crowd outside the grounds, including Crog- non, one of the heads if the police office, and Fjoqut’s secretary. At 10:20 o’clock Laisant, »ho directed the duel, brotigh to gether the points of the swords nnd deliv ered the word of command. Boulanger iiumtdiateiy made a vigorous lunge at Floquet, wounding him slightly in the left thight. The combatants were immediately •euerated, when it was found that Boulang ers right hand forefinger was scratched. In the second round he advanced with extreme violence to the attack. Floquet stood on Ihe defensive uu.l wounded the General full in ihe chest with his sword point and with a thrnst in the neck, and the wounds bled pro- fu-ely. Boulanger offered to fight on, tint was prevented. An lie walked to the house, the seconds supporting him, he looked faint. His shirr front was covered With blond. Floquet was scarcely wounded.

Partly owing to the duel nnd partly be- eaasc it is the eve of a fete, the streets at fhii hour are crowded, especially in front of ihs Goearde office. The tucrits of the quar- ■•1 between General Boulanger uml Floquet "‘ excitedly discussed ami shouts for and •piust tin General fill the air. Muquet, in ( absence of Boulanger, presided at tlie Muquet at the Avenue Aumernii thiseven- “?■ lie . imoutried that tlie General’s con- here and carried that package ou tin- ti and were arrested upon the train, and when that package was examined it was found to contain four half-pound dynamite cart ridges , and iu Broderick's possession were a number of these fulminating caps, that can he used for no other purposes that 1 know of on earth but to explode that infer, ■ml stuff” The remainder of the district attorney’s statement w,-,- taken up by describing the deadly nature of the cartridges as demon strated by experiments made by him aud the United States marshal yesterday. J. J. Kelly, secretary to Chairman Iloge, was placed ou the stand, and told how Bowles had brought dynamite to Iloge’s room in the Grand Pacific. The package was opened in the presence of Iloge. TIIK IIYN % VHTKttS. ISowle* Turns .State'.* Kmleuee - Huge the Mnu They Are After. Chicago, July U.—Bowles, the man in tlie conspiracy against whom the testimony given yesterday waa most conclusive, lias, it is stated, made a full confession of his shoge in the conspiracy, lie says that in bis case there was little hope of escaping from con viction, ami jfrly this morning it waa made known to Strict Attorney Ewing that Bowles was ready to squeal. Arrangements were at once made to take down his state ment and lie was conveyed to Mr. Ewing’s office to tell ail he knew. The case of Chairmen Iloge and Murphy, which waa to ccnie up before Justice l.ynn this morning, was postponed for one week. It is understood that Bowles has told the pro-ecution facts which will nmke the con viction of Iloge certain. 1 hsirman Iloge, it would seem, is the man they ore really after, not only si a blow they wish to strike at tlie Brotherhood, but because the road officials dislike him personally. The other defendants they are favorably disposed to wards. The text of the "squenl” was not made public, but it was important enough to necessitate the postponement of the case before the Federal Court, its well as in the Stale tribunal. It is certain that when the three jail prisoners, Bowles, Broderick and Wilson, were brought over from the jail this morning and put in the cage in the Mar shal's office, Bowles sent word he wanted to see the District Attorney. He was taken to Ewing’s office and there confessed to Gen eral Manager Stone. Inspector Bonfield and Attorney Colver. The only direct infoinra- ti„ n as to tlie’nature of the conresaion was a well defined rumor that a United States tvnriaot had been issued for the arrest of Huge, who is out on a *1 500 bond under the conspiracy charge brought under the State law. The crowd waiting in the Federal court room was again large and chiefly composed of Brotherhood men, whose looks of sytn- 'omirdes Goodi 1 g, Wilson, Bowles, Brode- pathy cast on the prisoners as thev »ere "« a"d Hndth.

THE 010 WAY THE BEST WAY He Prefers a Calm, Deliberate, Old Fash- toned Chrlstaln Door Knocker to a FlUelty, Impertinent, llicker- ty Door Dell. As our readers know, the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., of Brooklyn, the most popular minister in the world, is away from Brooklyn enjoying a tour. This letter from his eloquent pen is dated July 13, aud tits subject is “Knocker vs. Door Bell.” Here in this old fashioned country, house instead of the door bell we have tlie knocker. 1 do not know that I would like its startling thump all the year round, but once in a while 1 like it. There is something thoroughly honest in tlie stroke of the old fashioned knocker. Toe visitor lets it fall thrice, and then everybody in the house, from garret to cellar, knows that somebody wants to get in. But the knocker been bandished from all our city houses, i n I from many of the countiy houses aud the door bell substituted. No doubt there are hones door hells and door hells which are a blessing, but in our crowded thoroughfares they become unprincipled ami a nuisance. When one is solitary or sad it is a relief to bear one of them jin gle. But to a busy life they become a pest, sometimes almost unendurable. When they call us to genial sociality, or to sympathy with the grief struck, or to a pastoral duty, they are to be honored; but they sometimes seem tohebenton making a man crazy. We have often gone out through the kitchen way while our recep tion room was full, and taken the railroad and gone fifty miles out of town to escape its perpetual onslaught and battery. We have for the same p ur P ose taken a steamer for Portland or Charles ton. When we had a barn on our premises in the outakirt of the city we sometimes went there to escape the tintinnabulation. One of our anticipations to heaven is that there will be an utter abseuue of inis nuis ance-. There it goes now! And it has been going all day. First a printer’s boy Irani a magazine, both of these chaps asking for more cony. Then came a woman whose husband is out of work, and wants to know if we can get him employment. Poor souls 1 IIow we should like to help them! Then there came a committee wanting us to speak at an indignation meeting. To save time wo deliver the indignation speech '.hen and then, oniv two all audience. Next, a couple to be married; next, a boy with a shoe bill. Absurd I We have nearly worn them out, and do you expect us to pay for sucit an old pair of shoes as that? Next, a uian who wnnts to lecture, and would pay us well if we would furnish him manuscript. Dear fellow! We are not in the brain brokerage business. Clatter and bang again at the door. This is a fierce man whose child has been sick for three weeks, and is infuriate that we did not kuow il, und have not been around with pastoral condolence. By this time we are getting excited, and the door bell sounds as loud to us as a gong. A lady is opening a boarding house, ana Bhe wants to know if we know any boarders. At her depnrf ure we take a long brentiyof relief, anu ar- about returning to our study when clattee goes the bell. A book agent. We see the ominous bundle, and say:, "Thank your don’t open it; don’t want to buy.” But he says: “You need not buy; only let me show it to you.” , "Thank you; we have no time to look at it.” “It won’t take more than a minute to look at it; all the other clergy have taken the book. You had better' let me put your name down for a copy.” “Thank you; we have all the facts of that book iu other volumes " “But I want your name. It will help nte so much with your congregation. By the way, would you give tue a list of the more prominent names of your church?” “No; we cannot give you a list.” “Well, sir, let me present you with a copy of this liook, anu then place your name on my subscription book.” “No, sir! Our nutting our name down implies that we have purchased a copy, and that would he a falsehood.” " Well, sir, you certainly sAnt to help in the distribution of good literature, do you not?” At this point we get unbal anced and cry out: “Sir, we have Iwen pestered to-day with a long procession of liores, hut you are the biggest of the lot! Now get out of the house r That was the first remark that made any salutary im pression, and he we-1 urn of the room, not exactly shaking off the dust of his feet against us u< witness, but leaving the tpnd of his . li i"ioppers on carpet nnd stairs. Then comes in a profession of |»np!e wanting money for churches, for asylums, lor engine bouses, lor the poor; others wanting letters of recommeniUt.ou or in troduction; others wauling autographs; others wanting nothing. You say: “Ap point certain hours when you must not be interrupted.” That plan works only imperfectly. There are persistent fellows who will not be turned away. Tiny persuade the door servant that it is a matter of life and death that we be seen. If their card be brought io us they are sure we will see them. Thev gesticulate so violently that the servant gets afraid. She has been only a little while in the family, and does not feel like being sacrificed, even in defense of the peace of the householder. Her courage tails, and she timidly knocks at the pastor's door. After the urgettl case is stated il is found out that the visitor has a new kind of cough mixture which he wanted to introduce into the family. Meantime, when are you to prepare your Sabbath sermon and weekly lecture? If your sermt us are poor these interlopers will lie the first to set up a howl at the poor fodder. If you have newspaper con nections yr relations to some educational institution, what justice can you do them? Amid these disturbances we e so lost the order of the day that we dined twice, forgetting that we had been at the table before, the second time chiding ourselves for poor appetite, which teemed to indicate declining health. There are l wo practical uses of writing all this. First to pursusde congregations not to he too sharp when their pastors have poor sermons. If you had one-half the interruptions and botherations your minister has you would not preach any better than In- Joes, and would be so con fused you could not answer the questions in Brown's “shorter Catechism” as to who made you and what you are made of. Furthermore, let those who sit in the qui et of the i ouotrv home have their grati tude starred by the fact that they live two miles from town, and haye on their house instead of n n sllesq fidgety, impertinent door hell, n culm, deliberate, old foshioued Christian dnoJknocker.

MR. RAMI),tI.L. Ill* I’hjsleiana Evidently Not Very Hope ful—Tho Treatment. Washington, July 14.—Between the hours of midnight and 2 o’clock this morn ing, Mr. Randall suffered from several slight hemorhages. After that time he succeeded in securing ranch needed sleep. Dr. Mallet, with Randall’s personal attendant, remained with the patient until five o’clock this morn ing. He returned at 10 o'clock this morn ing, when be met Dr. Lincoln and it consul tation was held. As a result it was decided that powerful styp tics should be applied, which, it is hoped, will check the hemorrhages for a time, at least, nntil the patient can gain strength. Dr. Lincoln was very conserva tive in his ezpressions of opinion as to tlie probability of recovery. He believed thst tbsir effect would be to cheek the bleeding for a time, but wontd not go farther in his forecast. There was danger of stubborn bleeding, which would be difficult to con trol. Meanwhile Mr. Randall's condition this forenoon U fairly confortable. Dr. Martin, of Philadelphia, a specialist, was expected to-day. GEORGIA NEWS. A Boy Receives Fatal Inju ries While Bathing.

The Appropriation Urstoreil—The City Park—Uaudolpli Democracy— Fersonnl. CuTitDERT, July 14.—The trustees of tho Agricultural College and the citizen ship of Cuthbert, through their chosen representative*, have appeared before the board of trustees of the State University and had the appropriation to our college restored. Our college, under President Clark’s udmiuistratson, has assumed n new life of vigor and activity. The discipline was never better, the number of pupils largely increased, and the people more than ever interested and uuited in its sup port. The appropriati n means cheap tuition for out boys and tlie hoys of South west Georgia; it means that the curricu lum shall be arranged so that it shall be the preparatory school of Bouthwest Geor gia lor the higher classes in universities; it menus that the attendance from home and abroad wiil be nearly doubly increased during the next yesr. Our people are de termined to support it. The mayor and council of Cuthbert have turned over the enlargement and improve ment ol our city park to Judge John T. Clarke. They have given him the neces sary lands of the public square to make it sufficiently and conveniently large and have made the appropriation asked for. Other lunds will be contributed by our citizens. Judge Clarke has gone to work at it and it will not be long, under his management, before we shall have n well arranged an<l beautiful park to thus adpm our city. Judge Clarke being the prime mover means (or the undertaking nothing but success. The Executive Committee of the Ran dolph county Democracy have selected Tuesday, July 31st ( as tlie day for our Democrats to meet in mass to select dele gates to the Gubernatorial anil Congres sional conventions, to select a new execu tive committee and transact other business that may be brougli before it. Miss Annie Barfield is visiting Miss Ar tie Gay, in Quitman countv. Dr. W. C. Russell is taking in the pliar- aa secretary. There were hundreds of H e present and the hall of the main ng was densely crowded. A number of speeches were made in ihe interest of advancing the agricultural prosperity of our county. Final arrangements were made for furnishing Mr Glessner with specimens of the products of Han ock. and the se specimens will reach him by the dsy he appointed, August 1. Messrs. Frank Burneit and B. C. Bpeers were, by resolu tion, requested to prepare designs for our county fair next fall and for our exhibit at the State fair, for at the latter we will make both an agricul tural anil slock dhplay.
