Mr.. TURNBULL STILL IN THIS CITY
GIVING DINNER PARTY AT HIS HOUSE LAST NIGHT
TALK AMONG THE UNION CLUB MEMBERS
ABOUT THE QUARREL
J. f. Loubat, one of the principals IN the Union
Club quarrel who left the city on Sunday evening,
had not returned last night to the Glenham Hotel,
where he has rooms. 1t was reported yesterday
morning that he and party OF friends
were at Richmond, Va, Wilmington, Dell
Pittsburg, Penn, and at various other places
more or less removed from each other, exploring
diligently IN search of a suitable spot for a duel.
Evidently the search was unsuccessful, as Henry
Turnbull, the other principal in the matter, re-
NAMED quietly in the city all day. and at night en-
tertained large dinner Ply at his house, No.
West Thirty-second-st.
There was naturally great deal of discussion
at the Union Club over the various aspects
of the matter, but it was confined TO
what one of the older members Familiarity desig
mated as the "old hens cacklmg at the windows"
In the letter boxes at the club office at least one
half of the thousand circulars which Mr. TurnbuL
directed to the members a week ago still remained
in their unopened envelopes. Over the way from
the club cabs standing day and night and yes
terdav the unemployed cabmen were discussing the
crcuarsin strong language, with numerous energetic
gestures and expOunding their views to each other
BIZ main strength. Both the club house and the
residence of Mr. TuInbull seemed TO be objects OF
irresistible fascination to the casual pedestrian
In the case of the club house, men, women and
school-rirls scanned the windows, peered through
the entrance doors INTO the hall and examined the
sidewalks as if expecting to find even thus early IN
the history of the case marks of sanguinary con-
tlIct.
A reporter call ed at the Turnbull house early in
the afternoon. polite turnkey, in aesthetic
livery OF blue and yellow and pair OF knee
