A FAMOUS DUEL.

The Cause Witch Led DR.. RosenJerg to
Take the Life of Count Batrhuany.
The Vienna and Paris papers received by
the latest mails contain the details of the
fatal duel at Temesvar, Hungary, on the
23d day of October, between Count
Stephan Batthyany and Julius Rosenberg
a young advocate in which, as was an
nounced by cable, the former was instant
| ly killed. The particulars show the
tragedy to have been the climax of a
thrilling romance in real life, some of the
personages of which, except the successful
duelist, are connected with the highest
Hungarian aristocracy. Last summer DIR.
Rosenberg, who is young Hebrew LAWYER
in Pesth, made the acquaintance at Bo-
hemian watering place of Miss Ilona Won
Schosberger, the youngest daughter of a
rich Jewish banker and land owner named
Heinrich Schosberger de Tornya.
The young people fell in love with each
other. The girls parents, however, infiu-
enced by their son-in-law, Baron Borne
missa, who had married their eldest dauoh-
ter, and who declared that the marriage
would be nlesalIiance and would oblige
him to break his (the baron's) relations
with them, refused their consent. The
consequence was that the young couple
were secretly married. Immediately after
| the ceremony the lady returned to her
fathers house. DR.. Rosenberg shortly
af5erward appeared there and demanded
his bride. Herr Won Schosberger was ready
to acknowledge his son-in-Iaw, but Baron
BoTemissa was of different opinion, and
wanted to shoot the young plebeian. By
the baron's orders, the young lady went
to Paris, and from there to one
of her fathers castles in one of the widest
regions in the interior of Hungary. Sub
sequently it was announced that Miss
Ilona Won Schosberger had become Cath
Ole and had gone to Weisbaden, Germany.
where she had been betrothed to Count
Beithyanny. DR.. Rosenberg, hearing the
rumor, fastened there and had an inter
view with the count, in which he told him
that the young woman he was about to
marry was his (Rosenberg's) wife. He
appealed to his rivals honor, and begged
him not to force the young girl into an
illegal marriage to which she herself was
opposed. The count formally refused to
either listen to him or to pay any atten-
ton to the challenge which the lawyer sent
to him, on the ground that the challenger
was not his equal in birth. The matter was
laid before ''court of honor" in
Pesth, and after long argument it was de-
cided that Rosenberg was competent to
challenge the count. The latter still re-
fused to pay any attention to it, and the
lawyer published his challenge in all the
journals, with the added stigma of such
epithets as Coward" "poltroon," applied
to the count. The latter's friends came to
his rescue, and peculiar newspaper con-
troversy ensued, in the midst of which the
count married Miss Won Schosberger, and
started on wedding tour with her to
Italy. The young lawyers vindictive
lampoon must, however, have finally in
duced the count to change his mind, for a
few days before the duel he returned to
Hungary and accepted the challenge TIE
conditions were very rigorous. The pistols
rifed. The duelists were to fire at twenty
paces. Three shots were to
be exchanged, after each of
which they were to approach five
PAGES 10 each other. The duel, as already
stated, took place at Temesvar. The count
fired the first shot and missed. DR.. Rosen-
berg without advancing the five PAGES as
he had right to, aimed at his opponent
and fred. The ball struck the counts
right temr!e and rsssed through his brain.
Death was instantaneous. Leaving lie
seconds TO take care of the corpse, DR..
Rosenberg left the scene of the tragedy.
The next day at 4 o'clock the funeral
services of the count took place at Temes-
var. The coffin was covered with splendid
wreath, one of which bore the inscription:
TO my adored husband" After the cere-
monies the remains were taken to Buzias.
Count Batthyany's father intends shortly
to publish an authentic account of the
causes which led to the duel. Mr.. Varnay,
Rosenberg's counsel. informed the district
attorney that his client was ready ID sur
render himself to the courts.
