DUELLING.
Two EnSngements Nenr Chicngo.

A young husband of this city, whose wife
had been basely slandered by former rejected
sutor for her hand administered to the libeller
n severe whipping recently, and was afterwards
challenged to fight duel with pistols by the
party castigated. Seconds were chosen, the
Benedict taking friend and rather noted duel
ist named Trisch, Hungarian along with him.
A spot had been selected for the affair on the
Indiana State line, and on Wednesday last (the
1Sth) the parties were promptly on the ground
at one o'clock. The distance was measured,
and the principals to what was evidently about
to prove very bloody affair were placed in
position. AT the drop of a handkerchief the
duellists fired, and the libeller was wounded
in the left arm, but not seriously, while the
husband escaped injury. Both were
anxious to exchange shots again. but were
prevailed upon to desist by the seconds. Mean
time quarrel sprang up between Trisch and
the libeller. and an agreement was made to settle
it with swords. This second duel showed the
principals to be excellent swordsmen, but the
Hungarian was the master, and literally pinned
his antagonist to a tree, the foil passing through
the right shoulder and inficting severe though
not dangerous wound. While in this position
the slanderer of the good name of VirtuOns
woman was compelled to retract his vile say
ings. The Hungarian was slightly wounded in
the left breast. The parties returned to the city
and had their wounds dressed. The affair was
kept very quiet and but few knew of the duel
previous to its occurrence 1t is fortunate that
these affairs of honor did not terminate fatally.
The names of the sandered and slanderer are
not given, for the reason that il would cause
scandal and do an injury to parties undeserVing
of it,-ChicdqO Post

THE OTHER SIDE.
Was the Crucow Nun Tortured or Not :

The PAL Mall Gazette has the following:-
"We have had so few good horrors lately that
we hope we are not going to be disappointed
about the nun at Cracow The UHiCerS of the
5th instant says that the Carmelite sisters of
Cracow have been made the victims of an
abominable combination of intriguing Jews, Pro-
testants, and Freethnlers, with the completely,
if not under the direct inspiration. of the
Austrian Ministry. The unfortunate nun, the
UniUerS states, belongs to an honorable family
and had received an excellent education. Under
the impression that she was called to a eigious
life she first intended to enter the Convent of the
Visitation. After several trials. however, she was
thought to be mistaken as to her vocation. Her
piety fervent, and in many respects she
showed great merit; but she was so excessively
scrupulous that the sisters feared she would lose
her senses. At later date she offered herself
to the Carmelites and was received into their
convent. Her scrupulosity, however, here be-
came worse and ended in madness. The good
Carmelite sisters thought she would fare better
in their hands than with a mad DOCTOR and ac-
cordingly kept her in their convent. 1t was
heavy cross to them, but Carmelites only live
to carry the cross. There is no foundation for
the statement that they ill-treated her. The
filthy hole she occupied was in fact clean
and well-aired room. close examination of
the poor nuns body has disclosed no traces of
the tortures she is said to have suffered for
twenty-one years. Altogether, the U1aiUerS
thinks she has been very comfortable, and if
this really is the case, our penny-a-liners ought
to do some kind of penance, otherwise they de-
serve to have their eyes scratched out by the
good Carmelite sisters of Cracow. Still, the
U0iUerS is the UniUerS, and does not command
our implicit faith"

THE BOAT RACE.
The Training of the Crews The Hnrvards
Have Not "GOne Back" on the American

The Training of the Crews The Harvards
Have Not "GOne Back' on the American
style.
The New York Tribune prints this morning
the following special despatch:-
LONDON, Wednesday, Aug. 25.-I saw the
Harvard crew last night for the first time after
fortnight's absence, and was delighted to OBJ
serve a marked improvement in their style and
pace. Both crews made to-day the last row over
the whole course which they will take before the
race. A difference of Is seconds is reported in
favor of Oxford, but it is not trustworthy
Oxford having taken a back start in order
to get up good Roadway. Both
crews exhibit great power. The style of
Oxford is unquestonably the better of the
two their crew is the heavier, and their pace
extraordinary. Harvard, however, is in superb
condition and perfectly confident. The rowing
of the Americans is far from faultless, but their
boat goes along well and their prospects are de-
cidedly promising. 1t is not at all unlikely that
the race will be very close one. The Harvard
men have determined to use the new boat built
for them by Elliott, which carries them better
and makes greater speed than any other they
have tried. No trouble of any kind is feared,
but every precaution has been taken againstf foul
play and strong guard is kept constantly over
the boats.
The Harvard crew have spent the last two
nights at Sturgis' house. They wish me to con-
tradict the English statement that they have
adopted the English style. All the crew say
that they pull the same stroke as last year; but,
for all that, they show an immense change for
the better.
There seems to have been a little trouble
about the referee, and Oxford wanted to change,
but Harvard, am glad to say, very properly
sticks to Mr.. Thomas Hughes. In consequence
of this, Mr.. Chitty refuses to act as umpire, not
being willing to serve under Hughes, and the
probability is that there will be no umpires at
all, but Hughes will be selected as sole referee
This is the best arrangement, by all odds, that
could be made.
Everything has been done to secure clear
course and fair race, and l apprehend no in
reference by outsiders, and no obstruction of
the river by steamboats, and barges, as has often
been the case heretofore Neither crew has done
much work to-day, and tomorrow they will do
none at all. The headquarters of the Harvard
men have been crowded with visitors among
whom yesterday were Charles Reade, Minister
Motley, Benjamin Moran, Secretary of the Ame-
rcan Legation, T. H. Dudley, United States
Consul at Liverpool, and others, all of whom
VIII return for the race.

THE POPE.
whnt He VIII Allow gt the GcumepIcal


On this subject the Memorial Diplomdtigue
has the following:-The apprehensions which
the German press is endeavoring to excite i'm
Europe against the tendencies and the secret
object of the future Gcumenical Council are
beginning to lose at the same time all interest
and all reality. In the first place, the assertion
may be made that the great majority of the
bishops in France and elsewhere are by no
means favorable to the propagation of doctrines
which will have the immediate effect of placing
them in direct contradiction with the law of
their country; there exist also serious reasons
for believing that the Holy See, in the manner
in which 1t is conceiving and preparing the pro-
gramme of the council, has no intention of de-
parting from the limits of purely religious
grounds on which conflicts with the civil goy-
ernment are more and more rare, if not impos-
sible. As to the question whether France will
be represented directly in the council we believe
we are not departing from the truth in saying
that nothing is yet decided on that subject.
The Pope is said to have remarked in an audi
ence which he gave the other day to an eminent
foreigner that he was firmly convinced the
world would be regenerated by the coming
Council. He declared that the bishops would
have full liberty of discussion, and said that he
hoped they would not abuse this privilege by
consuming time in idle disputes. 1t would be
better, his Holiness added that all discussions
should be unanimous but in cases of differences
of opinion, the question would be decided by
the majority, except when the majority hap
pened to be insignificant The Pope, however.
INDUCES tne nope tnaJ no DIVISIONS Will arise,
believing that the Holy Spirit will inspire the
Council and lead all its members to act in har-
mony. He said that the Council would be called
upon to adopt the Syllabus some alteration being
made in the paragraph concerning the relations
of the Church with the State. On different hut
trustworthy authority it is stated that the Coun-
Gil will proclaim two dogmas:-First. The in
falibility (personal and Independent of all coun-
cils) of the Pope, speaking er cdHedrd. Second
The assumption in spirit and body of the Virgin
Mary. Protestant and schsmatic bishops WILL
It'll certain be allowed no voice in the Council

Nearly SuGocated.

Mr. John Aungerbront was recently cleaning
forty-foot well on the farm of Mr.. Detwier, near
Rocky Spring in this county, when he was so
much inconvenienced with carbonic acid gas
that he gave notice to the persons at the head
of the well of his perilous situation. Mr.. Det
wier at once descended to his assistance, and
sent the almost suffocated form of Mr.. Aunger
bront to the surface The bucket was then re-
turned for Mr.. Detwiler, who felt the effects OF
the gas, but readily attached himself to the
chain and bucket. When over half way up the
chain broke and Mr.. Detwiler slid on the pump

ON THE MOVE.
How They Are Setting Back n Hotel In


How They Are Setting Back a Hotel in
They are moving large freestOne hotel in
Boston. The following, from the Traveller of
that city, will give an idea of how the work is
progressing
Ponderous bodies move slowly, and Hotel
Pelham, which, it was predicted, would reach
the end OF the journey to-day will not do so
until late tomorrow. Such moving cannot be
done in hurry and this the contractors are
thoroughly cognizant of. 1t is however, done
accurately. Not screw must be turned more
than another for if this rule is not adhered to,
the building will deviate from a straight course.
The fears that the building would be terribly
shaken III its transit prove to be gr0nndless.
There has not crack, however minute, so far
as human eye can detect, been made yet, and
the architect Mr.. Bradlee, has ascertained from
tests that old cracks in partition walls and else
where have not widened In the least.
The fastest speed was made yesterday, when
several members of the city government were
present. At that time, everything being in
readiness, two inches were accomplished in four
minutes, and this, perhaps, was the only time
that the moving of the building could be dis
cerned without the aid of the arrangements
there provided for that purpose. The entire
distance moved Yesterday was about 60 inches
more than any previous day, and more than will
be made either to-day or tomorrow. The
difficulty in resetting the screws increases as the
distance between the building and the bank
which braces the screws increases. The screws
when all worked well, but rearranging them has
taken double that time even under the most
favorable circumstances. The length of the
screws is 21 inches. To-day there will be only
p inches accomplished.
Last evening the total distance gone over was
96 inches, or feet: this morning 10 more inches
were added, and the II inches which will be ac-
| complshed this afternoon will make total OF
| III. The remaining distance, 81 inches, it is
| hoped will be completed by tomorrow evening.
The iron rollers have worked well and have
given but little trouble. There is a rear projec-
ton to the building, and the friction of this and
the sidewalk on BoylstOn street, which is attached
to the building and is being moved, is overcome
| by creased boards much in the manner that a
| ship is launched.
| The progress of the building which is 90 feet
inches high and weighs 10000 tons, has been
| witnessed daily by large number of people,
| who manifest much interest in the work. The
cost to the city,for moving the structure will be
| $950O0, which is divided into the following
items:-Eptire cost OF removing and placing
| upon new foundation $25, 900: cost of land
| which it viii occupy 100000; loss of rent,
| $4,000 Total, $4,000,

Meeting of Miners at Hyde Park-NO COncIu-

acknowledgements Predicted.
Special Despatch 10 The EUening Telegraph.
SCRANTON, Aug. 26.-The meeting of the
miners yesterday at Hyde Park was another
scene of confusion. This meeting was looked
upon as the concluding one. They were going
to make a final decision, whether to accept Mr.
Storrs' proposition or fall back upon the original
demand for a basis, and as has been the case
with all their previous meetings, they did not
arrive at any decisive conclusion and did not
even wait for a regular or orderly adjournment
Both opponents and advocates of resumption
were equally dissatisfied. The Republican, in
an editorial this morning, says:-"The thou
sands of deeply interested traders may deem the
result of the Hyde Park meeting yesterday as
triAing and unsatisfactory; but we can assure
them that the men are going to work now and
the most strenuous advocates of continuing sus-
pension acknowledge that the Jig is up now,
and the men will begin work in few days; and
as the men who go in first will have the choice
of chambers, there will be little delay after the
first blow has been struck. The hope of re-
ceiying any money from Schuylkill or the Gene
raj Connc has been abandoned by everybody
eycept the committee who expect to have the
handling of it,.
