Gazette Office was sent to Seneca Falls upon an
GRAND, and before starting purchased a ticket
10 Seneca Falls and also return ticket. On
bis return this ticket was taken up by the con

After leaving the latter place the conductor
again came to the boy and demanded fare rom
Waterloo TO Geneva. The boy told him he had
already given him a return ticket from Seneca
Falls to Geneva. This the conductor denied,
and the boy refusing TO pay, the conductor put
trudgCd the six miles to Geneva on foot, and,
proceeding at once to the ticket-office, asked
the agent If he remembered selling him a ticket
TO Seneca Falls and return that morning. He
remembered it well, and further offered the
boy twenty cents, which the conductor, hearing
the result, had left with the agent for him

RUMoRKD BILL FOR DIVORCE By NINE
LuCCA.-A Berlin letter attributes Nine
Lucca's tour OF the United States to domestic
trouble, and intimates that q divorce from her
husband, Baron Won Rhaden, will be the con-
sequence OF her leaving Berlin without his con-
sent. The Berlner BorsenZeitung confirms this
report, and speaks of Baron Won Rhaden having
instituted legal proceedings against his wife tor
divorce. On behalf OF Nine. Lucca il saws
however, that the Baron is no longer the ex-
emplary husband he was during the first three
or tour years OF marriage; that he is an invete-
rate gambler. and has sQuandered many thou
sands or dollars of the earnings OF his wife.

A Duel with Daggers between Ger
mans i'm London.

Two German gentlemen, said TO be well
known in the city OF London, recently quar-
relied about lady, and, il Is alleged, their feel
ings toward each other was 80 bitter that they
coUll not be appeased without resort to a hos
tile meeting. Seconds and a medical man were
accordingly engaged. and the duel WAS arranged
TO take place in Finsbury Park. The combat
was not, however, permitted 10 take place, and
the ellgerents were compelled TO proceed some
distance farther, TO spot where they were
screened from the observation OF chance specta-
tors by a high hedge. Ii is asserted that they
then fought with dagger-knives, having blades
seven inches in length; that the distance they
stood apart was only at arms length, and the
position toe to toe. The eyes Of each combat
two OF the fingers and the thumb
protected by the guard of the knives
HoStilities commenced about seveno'clock, and
i'll the first few passes the slighter antagonist
wounded his adversary twice in the right arm.
The wounds, however, were not OF a character-
in the opinion OF the bystanders-to cause an
end OF the duel TO be declared. The contest pro-
ceeded. and the thruSts and parties follow ed
each other in fierce succession. The combataat
who had gained the earlier success seemed -
have lost nerve, for, after twenty minutes
severe fighting, he lost his guard, and received
an ugly cash from the corner of the mouth u
the end OF the ear. The physician and seconds
here interPosed, and hOstilities were suspended.
The dangerously wounded man was conveyed
in his carriage to the German hospital. He was
speeches when removed. and all communica-
ton with him involving the use of speech has
been forbidden.-LORdOH Telegraph.
