A GIFT ENTERPRISE MAN IN TROUBLE.

From time to time letters have been received at
the Mayors Office, from parties in different localities
throughout the country, asking the Mayor to prose-
cute certain gift enterprise people holding forth in
this city, and to whom these innocent and too con-
iding couhtrymen had paid various for tickets
and commissions Of five per cent on prizes OF
500 or $3.50, which they were informed they had
drawn. Among the most successful Of those swinders
is a man styling himself A. A. Kelley, who gives
away immense fortunes for nothing, and whO to
Judge from the extent Of his operations, must have
realized at least $150,OO0 within a comparatively
short period The latest case against him came to
his Honor Mayor Holman yesterday from Mr. J. r..
McFadden, Of West Port Kentucky, who had invested
IS In tickets 81 so in commission on prizes
drawn ~ and q few dollars to a nominal law
firm which had agreed to obtain the prizes for
him. Mr.. McFadden wanted the Mayor Of this
small town to get some able lawyer to take charge OF
his claim and instruct him to settle with Kelley for
$3.50. II may be some satisfaction to Mr.. McFadden
and others to know that their friend Kelley has been
stopped-at least for the present-as Detective
George Elder, of the Central ONCE took Mr.. Kelley
into custody on a warrant which had been brought
from Buffalo by Detective Cusick, OF the Buffalo
police, and Mr.. Cusck brought Kelley back with him
TO Buffalo last evening to have an interview with
some fifty or more OF his subscribers.

PART1NG SALuTB.-A young gentleman OF this
city escorted his aunt to the depot OF the orange,
Alexandria and Manassas Railroad this morning
and afer seating her properly and handing her the
checks for her baggage left the car to talk with some
one IN the office. While thus engaged beautiful
young lady wearing veil precisely like that worn
by his aunt, entered the car and took seat mmedt
ately behind the one occupied by that lady. When
the whistle blew for the train TO start the young gen
teman alluded to re-entered the car from the rear
platform and mistakng the young lady for his aunt
hastily seized her hand and telling her godby Inn
printed an affectionate kiss upon her cheek. The
surprise OF the young lady thus saluted may be
imagined. 10 was manifested by such start and q
jump that the gentleman al once made aware OF
the error he had committed, but the starting train
only gave him time TO apologize He says now,
however, that he is not sorry the mistake occurred

A BAXTER sTnerT DUEL.

Two particular admirers Of Manager Butler
American citizens OF African descent-named re-
spectively Robert Haines and Charles II. Smith,
allowed "the tender god to touch their hearts stir
their envy and disturb their temper, using the
charms OF lady OF color as the probing instrument,
and at midnight last night at No. 40 Baxter street
the stirring resulted in an affair OF honor.
Hanes fastened his "feeersv to a chair with which
he sought to open the head OF smith and let out the
thoughts which the latter harbored OF Dnah. Smith
In return thought he would reach the heart OF Hanes
and force out the warm feelings which the latter en-
tertained by inserting some cold steel. An un-
chvalrous oficer Of the Sixth precinct interfered,
took Smith to the station house and Haines to
Bellevue Hospital. Both were very much frightened
but neither was much hurt.
