a FAMOUS DUEL.
The Memorable Encounter Be
tween the Poet Moore and
the EssayiSt jeffrey.


That was a memorable encounter
between the poet Tom Moore and
the critic, cssayist, and jurist, Fran
els Jeffrey. Both eff them were OF
keen and polished wit-bOth warm
hearted, generous, impulsive, and
more or less capricions. In 1906
Jeffrey attacked MOore's codes and
EPistles" in the Edingburg ReUislr,
denOuncing them on account of their
Immortality. This was too much
for the sensitive poet. He felt that
blood alone could wash away the
stain of that abominable criticism.
Accordingly he challenged the
traducer TO mortal combat.
Jeffrey, though small Of stature,
was great in courage, and hestraight-
way accepted the challenge, and
named pistols rs toe weapons.
Seconds were selected and prelimin-
aries arranged, when Moore be-
thought him that il would be neces-
sary that he should provide himself
with pistols; and further, as the
challenging party, it would be proper
for him 10 furnish weapons for both.
Now, deadly weapor of any kind
Moore had never been partial TO, and
pistols he had never owned-at any
rate, proper dueling pistOls-but he
knew that his dear friend, Sir VIII
liam Robert Spencer, owned beauti-
fol pistols, and to him he applied,
being obliged, of course, to tell what
he wanted them for. Sir William
cheerfully lent his pistols, and then
as soon as the messenger was gone
from his sight he hurled away TO the
Bow street Office and engaged two
officers Of his acquaintance to hold
themselves In readiness to prevent
the two little PePpery men from

LICE AND BEDBUGs.
Feeding Prisoners on Putrid
Pork.

Pork.
The following shocking account
of United States prison life at Buff
falO, n. Y, is thus told by a late
paper of that city, whose reporter
interviewed one of the prisoners:
SIMPLY FRIGHTFUL.
For breakfast they gave US a
piece of bread about ? inches thick
and 6 inches square, and a little
over a cupful of something that per-
haps was what they called it-tea
only 1 never saw or tasted any
tea. COlored water called it. The
bread was good, only il gave me the
heartburn. That was all we had
till noon, and we had to work hard
for six hours on it. At noon we
had soup and meat. Ours was
sometimes fair and sometimes it
wasn't The day before yesterday
we had bean soup with pork in it.
The pork was so putrid that 1 had
TO put the whole mess away. Itac-
tually stunk. / couldn't put my
nose over the dish. Some of the
men were so hungry that they tried
10 eat it. In less than an hour ev-
cry one had to vomit it up. That's
what food we had. In the shops
my work was not very hard. l was
in the Japan shop and our boss was
very kind. We used to quit usual
ly about 3 o'clock. The work was
light, but we had to keep our eyes
on our work. My eyes are troubled
Sd that / cannot look steadily at one
thing long at time, and so was
obliged to look up. 1 used to catch
it for this regularly. The keepers
all treated me we'll, with one excep-
tiOn, and i think all were treated
like gentlemen. Ii was worst when
we CAME brck to our cells at night.
Mine was up in tier 4, the top one,
and Mr.. LOvett, who was arrested
tie same time / was, was in the
same cell. He was sick and slept
on the bed, and i slept on the stone
flags. They are 50 crowded there
that if they could they would put
three in cell. The
BEDBUGs AND LICE
in those cells were simply awful.
The bedbugs never bothered Low
EFT, but the lice did. He was COW
cred with them. The bedbugs all
went for me. / used to amuse my
self at night sometimes by putting
my hand out and killing them as
they came crawling in the door.
At night when / was asleep they
would feed on me. See here
Here Lieut. Owens paused and
tucked his trowsers up to his knee.
His leg, and especially the shin,
was covered with small dark red
spots 50 close together that a good
sized pin-head would hardly go be-
tween them. This is the way they
left me. My arms were just so at
first and my chest is now, but being
in the Japan shop i was in turpen~
tine a good deal and it got into my
hands and arms 50 that they didn't
bite them much. i used to put tur-
pentine on my clothes, but it didn't
keep them of, except from my
arms. The last two days the lice
got on me, and then how | suffered.
/ had to throw away every rag /
had on me when l came out. You
see I'm out before my time was up.
Well, was sick and / begged Cap
tain Elder to let me psy the rest Of
my fine and get out. There ought
to be an investigation made out
there. Things could be kept clean
and vermin at least avoided, if by
making every one change clothes
and wash before coming into the
prison. There is no need for such
horrors.

The Results of Rate Cutting.

The falling off in earnings with Indianapolis
lines from week to week as compared with those
of corresponding periods in 1888 causes surprise
when carefully considered. With nearly every
road a heavier tonnage of freights has been
carried than last year. The weekly movement of
loaded cars has shown an increase of transfers
over the Belt road have been several hundred
cars more daily and there is evidence every
hand that twelve of the Indianapolis roads are
doing more business than at the corresponding
period last year, yet decrease in gross earnings
Is shown. 1t cannot be charged up to the passen-
ger business, as nearly every road profted by
the election excitement in addition to regular
travel, and an increase in passenger earnings for
October is shown by all lines. Now, the question
arises, why this unfavorable exhibit And
can be answered only by saying that rates
are being slaughtered by freight men recklessly.
There has been no reduction in tariff rates in
the last twelve months which would affect the
revenue, as where reductions have been made
between certain points advances in rates have
been made between others. Through rates,
even at the low tariff, have been fully as high as
in 1883, and it is very plain that rates between
such points as indianapolis and Cincinnati In
dianapolis and Louisville Chicago and Indian
apolS, Chicago and ST. Louis, Chicago and
Louisville are badly cut, and. in fact the same
remark will apply to so per cent. of the business
between interior points In spite of all pooling
agreements and statements of freight agents to
the effect that they maintaining rates. and
until freight agents are given to understand that
mage, continued decreased earnings may be ex-

At the meeting of the Illinois Central direct

meeting There are likely to de considerable
further negotiations before the matter can be
completed the Baltimore & Ohio is anxious

it can be ascertained how much the new ex-

The West Jersey Railroad Company refuse to

that the Ocean City Association was to deed GER

In a recent interview, President Rutter says
they will not lead, but follow, any cut the West
Shore shall make, but he says nothing about
restoration of rates when the cut has once been
made. What then, is his purpose9 Is it to ex-
terminate its rival or compel an unconditional
surrender of the West Shore before this cruel
war can end! 1t seems from Rutter's interview
however, that he met the new line half way on
its opening, and agreed on the two cents per mile
legal limit of passenger rates The disregard of
this agreement from the very start Mr. Rutter
alleges as the causus belli Freight rates were
left out of the agreement, as they had been pre-
viously reduced by the Central to point lower
than that of any railroad in the world. SAYS Mr..
Rutter In commenting this war, the Dial
says that it does not charge that the West Shore
is Intentionally wrecker or Spectator in stocks
but the effect of this ruinous is wreck both
its own property and that of the Central for
which it and not the Central is responsible
While the Dial would favor laws to prevent ex-
tortionate charges by the railroads. it would also
support one that shall protect the stockholders
as well as the public from such a wanton waste
of their property as this. This is what we shall
have to come to. or investors will be driven com
pletely out Of railroad stocks and even bonds,
and the boosted superiority of our railway trans
portation oyer the rest of the world will be a
thing of the past In this view it is time to call
halt in this war of determination, for such it
will prove unless there is a surrender on the part
OF the west Shore or q compromise on the part
of the Central, of which there are no signs on
either side. The railroads have rights which the

East-Bound Passenger Rates Restored.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26-The general passenger
agents Of the east-bound trunk lines met here
to day and agreed to restore passenger rates to
all points east The agreement was signed in
behalf of all the roads, and will at once
be submitted to the general managers
for their approval, and it will go into
effect two days after the latters signatures are
affixed. The principal question of advance was
the allowance of differental rate to the young
er and weaker lines This rate has heretofore
been $l50, and the older lines wanted to
make it 70 cents. A compromise
was finally effected on 81. The restoration
was reached on the basis of 500 from Chicago to
New York over the Michigan Central, Fort
Wayne and Lake Shore, and $19 over the other
lines. The Grand Trunk is allowed aIdifferential
