Mt. Carmel tPa) Special.
A desperate contest between two lovers of
young girl named Rosie Andrigo, daughter OF
we'll to do coal operator, took place to-day IN her
parlor. The girl is sixteen years old her
father came from Poland twenty-five years ago.
Two months ago Ludwig Armapuski made
visit to Mount Carmel. He is the son of
wealthy Russian nObeman and came to this
country as traveller He brought with him
letters of introduction to Mr. Andrigo who,
when they were presented invited him to spend
some time at his hou5e. Count Ludwig at once
fell desperately in love with his hosts daughter,
and apparently his affection was returned. AT
least it was reported that Miss Rosie was en-
gagged to her Russian lover. Among the girls
admirers is Frank Budman, ok-keeper at
colliery. He became jealous of the cultivated
Russian, and several occasions lnsulted
him grossly before others. Count Ludwig, how
ever, refuses to take any notice of these insults
claiming that his position as noblemans son
would not allow him to engage in any dlfhcuIty
with book'keeper. On Sunday last Budman
met Rosie she returning home from the
Catholic Chu- "a. Joining her he declared that
he had information that Count Ludwig was go
ing to Chicago tomorrow and that he had
boasted that he had only won her love IN sport
and intended to throw her over The girl was
startled by this communication. She refused TO
believe at first that her lover was reereant, but
upon Budmans affirmation that he had positive
evidence of the Russians fickleness, she decared
she would refuse to speak to him during the few
days he would be her fathers guest OF conrse,
Count Ludwig noticed the sudden change III
Rosie's manner to him and asked for an explain
alton. This at first she refused to give,
but upon further requests confessed all that
Frank Budman had told her. The nobleman's
son at once sent challenge to Budman by MIR.
William Butler, an American gentleman living
here, ard the challenge was readily accepted.
Arrangements were made for the duel to tn ke
place on Wednesday, in a retired spot, three
miles from Mount Carmel. Budman, whose
courage is greater than his discretion, drank
heavily to day, and spoke of the contemplated
duel to several of his friends. They persuaded
him to go to Mr.. Andrigo's house and shoot the
young Russian, without risking the dangers OF
face to-tace meeting Tonight while Miss Rosie
and the Count were sitting in the AndrigO draw
ing, room, Budmar burst In upon them with
revolver in his hand.
81 have come to kill you" he cried out to the
Russian, at the same time discharging his
weapon. The ball struck a small case, shatter-
ing it completely.
The Count rushed UP stairs to his room and
seized revolver from dressing case. He was
back again in the paror almost before Rosie
knew what had happened LeVeling the revol-
yer at Budmans head, he called upon him to
place himself at the opposite end of the room
Count three" the Russian shrieked TO the
trembling girl as Budman took his place. Terri
fed, and not knowing what she did, the girl
obeyed the order, and as the word three" fell
from her lips the report of two revolvers rang
on the stifed air of the drawing room The ball
from Count Ludwig's weapon penetrated Bud
mans shoulders The latter fell to the floor as
the bullet from his pistol whizzed over the young
noblemans head. Mr. Andrigo and the servants
rushed into the room; hasty explanation fol-
lowed and BuGman was carried to a bed-cham-
Der, where Rose is actively engaged tonight in
attending to the suffering man thus suddenly
brought to the Andrigo household.
