Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph.
BosToN, July 22.-An arrival here to-day
brings dates from Port-au-Prince to July s..
There was great excitement in that city conse-
quent upon the arrival of two steamers at St..
Marie for the patriots. Gold money rose from
400 to the dollar to 900, which nearly extin-
guished the value of paper money, and no con-
tracts could be made except for produce or gold.
Salnave was at Aux Cages, but was unable to
reduce the city. One of his steamers returned
to Port-au-Prince with leaks, and useless. All
accounts agree that the end of the Government
is approaching. Business is suspended.

Judgement de Dieu" Gas single combat was
termed in the middle ages) survives to the pre-
sent day. Phe spring which has Just termi-
mated has witnessed in Paris no less than a
dozen duels. This is perhaps an unsatisfactory
total, if judged by the standard of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, when during the
reign of Henri Quatre alone 5000 gentlemen are
computed to have been slain in these encounters;
but the halcyon days of chivalry are past, and
we have perhaps no right TO expect more in
these degenerate times. 1t appears that the
gentlemen of the French press are the principal
patrons of this national sport; sometimes an out
slider is dragged into these little family affairs
but the quarrel generally originates in a per-
sonal attack by a newspaper writer. Happily,
fatal results are very rare the seconds most laud-
ably endeavoring to diminish, as far us in them
lies the perils which environ the man who med
dies with cold steel or firearms; while the COM
batants themselves seldom appear to desire
the death of the sinner" One gentleman, IL ia

This system is not quite in accordance with the
line of conduct which Polonus recommended to
his son, but as long as the absurd practice of
duelling is in vogue, it is well that it should be
conducted on phianthropical principles, and
that we should hear no more of people fighting
across a table, like Charles Levers Irishmen, or
hacking each other to pieces like those ferocious
gadiators, the mignons of Henri Trois.

A Drunken Gambler Shoots Two Women

Especial dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
FoRT WAYNE, Ind, June Ii.
The little village of Covington, in
Troy county, Ind, and its vicinity
were thrown into the most intense
excitement last evening by the enae-
tlon of one of the most horrible trag-
edies ever known in the annals of
Northern Indiana. The particulars,
as far as can be obtained, are as fol-
lows: About sunset last evening
Frederick Remster, formerly in the
employ of Mr.. Dodd, auctioneer, shot
and instantly killed Mrs. Jones, a re-
spectacle widow lady, about seventy
five years of age. She was the moth
er of John Il. Jones, who edited The
Friend, years ago. Remster killed
her with a revolver, the ball passing
in her neck below the ear; she lived
but few minutes. fhe next victim
of the assassin was a beautiful and
highly respected young lady, about
seventeen years of age, the daughter
of Mr.. Beckelheim. Miss Beckeiheim
heard the disturbance across the
street and stepped out, when Remster
fired, the shot taking effect above the
ear. She is unconscious to-day, the
brain oozing from the wound, and her
physicians say she must soon die. The
murderer lived in part of the house of
Mrs. Jones with his young wife, to
whom lie had been married only three
weeks. When Remster shot Miss
Beckelheim, he cried for john Dodd,
and rushed away. As he came near
James McMahan's residence, he tried
to kill man standing near, but the
cap snapped. McMahan' little boy,
with great self-possession, told the
murderer that Dodd had. just passed,
and started Remster after him. Rem
-star went off. hurriedly, and soon
meeting John Eansler,- -l.1lsked to him,
dashed the revolver right in his
mouth, and pulled the trigger, but the
cap fortunately exploded without dis
charging the load. Mr.. Fausler being
a strong man, laid hands on Remster,
crushed him to the earth and handled
him roughly till assistance came, when
he was Immediately lodged in jail. It
is said that Remster had been GAM
bling desperately and drinking con-
siderably. No other cause for these
horrible deeds can now be made
known, though the promise of an
early explanation of this wholesale
slaughter is made. Lynch law is.
strongly talked of, and it will require
most careful watching of the authori7,
ties if it is not put into execution.
Further Developments will, be; made
