A day or two since singular puglistic
encounter took place just above the dam
in the bottom near Birds pasture. Two
Young men had quarrel concerning Il
lady, which they agreed to settle by the
rules of the prize ring. They lived in East
Des Moines, and one evening, not long be-
fore sunset, rowed across the river in boat
to the locality named, where they stripped
for the fray. They were unaccompanied by
seconds, but, as seen from the surrounding
bluffs, fought fair. Whenever one was
knocked down, the other would give him
breathing time. So they fought hotly one
hour by the watch - until one admitted
himself whipped. Then the twain resumed
their coats, shook hands, and rowed to
gether across the river again. Probably as
many as one hundred people witnessed the
novel fight, but none knew who the COM
battants were.

At the beginning of the month fine
looking, elderly gentleman, with abundan,
luggaHe, engaged suite of apartments in
the Westminster, and wrote in the register
Baron Somoskeoy, of Hungary" He
dressed unassumngly, but the superb dia-
monds that he wore on his breast and fin
gers attracted general attention. He said
that he was an Austrian Commissioner to
the Centennial Exposition, ana as he was
courteous. well-informed, and liberal, he
was much appreciated in the hotel. On the
9th the Baron went away. Hc said he was
going to the opening of the Exposition.
Meanwhile Superintendent Walling had
been informed by an agent of the Austrian
Government that the Baron was faithless
Austrian official, who, by forging the sig
nature of superior to vouchers, had OBJ
rained large sum of money, and fled De-
tective Elder was detailed to watch the Bar
on, and to arrest him as soon as q warrant
for his eXtradition to Austria could be OBJ
tained, On the 10th the Baron returned to
the Westminster, and talked largely of the
Exposition. Detective Elder did not lose
sight of him, A hint as to Elders work
and the probability of his receiving a fine
reward was incautiously given by brother
officer to an ex-Detective. DESTROYS of
battling the Police Department, from which
he had, he thought, been driven by perse-
cution, the ex-Detective went to the
Westminster, got into the Baron's apart
ment, unnoticsd, and told the terror strick
en- Austrian that he was to be arrested
within an hour. He then offered to lead
the Baron out of the trap that the police
had set, for price. He named it, and
though it was enormous, the Baron paid
Then the ex-Detective aided the Baron in
packing up. quarter Of an hour
afterward the Baron's luggage was
taken away in an express wagon, and
he himself, having paid his bill, and given
baronial douceurs to the servant that had
waited upon him, was driven in coach
down Sixteenth street toward Broadway.
Detective Elder, powerless to prevent the
flight, followed in coupe. The baron
alighted at small hotel in Dey street, and
locked himself in his room. His baggage
was taken to the New Jersey Central Rail
road depot, and then transferred to Adams
Express office. There it was booked for
New Orleans. An hour afterward the
Baron sailed for Mexico. Detective Elder

before the week ends. The ex-deteetiye h AZ

Mr. Hugo Fritsch, the Austrian Consul
in this city, said yesterday that he has not

Mrs. DUNIwAY's LECTURE. - Mrs.
Duniway at the Methodist Church on
Sunday night gave an interesting talk
on the causes which led her to enter the
missionary field. This lady is richly en-
dowed mentally, and brings to her aid
as a public speaker the advantages of a
large experience as a teacher, a help
meet to her husband on the farm, a
housewife and mother. Rising above
the merely rhetorical graces, she relates
the facts of her own life so caudidly and
earnestly as to bring the scenes vividly
before her audience. No one who heard
could doubt the truth of her story. 1t
was a part of the woman, recorded in
her voice, form, and features. There
was nothing assumed or strained for eff
feet; nothing dissembled nor hidden for
mere appearances. Yet it was in no sense
unwomanly or masculine in treatment
or in its ideas. There could be nothing
more delicate or ladylike in manner or
sentiment. 1t was rather the yearning
voice of woman for that sympathy from
and with man as an equal and helper
than the demand for independence of
man that most of the strong-minded of
her sex set up. Her story is a useful
one, which we wish every young lady
in the country could listen to, as it
throws much light upon the practical
life of woman which is seldom allowed
to illuminate the girls of the present
day.-SdH Lake Herald, august 2.

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitOme of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded official register of cIrculatiOns.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426
