Mrs. Herbert Pell, formerly Kitty Kerno-
chan, tells me that on the following evening
she and her husband were dining at belmont
co.'s, when Freddie and his friends came in
followed in few minutes by Sanford and
his friends. Sanford was in high spirits but
Freddie, with one eye somewhat shaded
with black and blue, maintained a gloomy
dignity, and contented himself with glaring
bloodthirstily at his enemy.
The Langtry was not in the city at the
time, but on Monday she reached Philadel-
phia, and Freddie FASTENED thlther and Sc
cured room at the same hotel.
Poor boy" she was heard to say to him.

Then Freddie said something about having
blood for his revenge.
"Oh, no. no! Freddie!" she cried. almost

Sanford is very rich young man, the son
of an Amsterdam, N. Y, carpet manufac-
turer He is one of the best-known club
men of New York and Newport, and is
famed for the fast horses he drives He and
his brother have frequently entered their
horses in races, especially steeplechases and
are considered the best polo-players at New
port. The general opinion in the city is that
both Sanford and Gebhardt had been empty
ing too many bottles of champag and
glasses of brandy and soda. The belmont
cos are much grieved that the affair should
have occurred at this hotel, and will proba-
bly, forbid the belligerents coming there
again.
FLoTsAM AND JETsAM
Public opinion is much divided concerning
Mr.. Anthony Comstock. Many regard him
as noble, self-sacr6cing reformer, and GER
tainly he has done much good in the way of
breaking up gambling dens and stopping the
circulation of obscene literature. Others
look upon him as a fraud and blackmailer
He appears to have a very violent temper,
which is continually getting him in to trouble.
A few days ago he arrested man who was
creating a disturbance on the stairs of an
elevated railroad depot The two had hard
tussle, but Comstock got the best of it and
took the fellow to the Tombs. But the other
had political influence" and not only got
released at once, but induced the sheriff to
withdraw Comstock's commission as special
deputy sheriff.
General L. P. di Cesnola has been respited
again. That is, he has secured another ad-
journment to the September term of court

him. The public begins to wonder If the
case ever will be tried at ALL
The house in Fordham, in the upper part
of this city, in which Edgar Allan Poe, the
poet, once lived, and in which he wrote
many of his most striking works, is to be
sold in few days at auction, under fore
closure.
Colonel John Hay and family arrived here
from Europe on Sunday morning. At quar-
antine they were met by friends from this
city, who broke to them the sad news of the
suicide of Mrs. Hays father Amasa Stone.
Colonel Hay will soon publish his life of
Lincoln, work he was eminently well fitted
to write.
The business Office of the estate belonging
to Trinity Church in this city probably does
more important business than any other
land office in America, except that of the
government at Washington. Mr., Van Rens-
