young girls to-day, opulent IN beauty,
standing in dOorways in the narrow
streets OF Florence with the identical

a willOwy grace Of motion entirely
their own, caused perhaps by the firm
ness OF muscle arising from climbing
the stairways of bridges which at every
turn span the canals OF their peerless
city. But soon their beauty fades,

A Duel in a Texas Theater.

rom q Laredo Dl>patCN-l
During the session of the last leglsla-
ture Senator f. F. Hall bitterly at
tackled the efficiency and integrity OF
the state ranger force which for years
has guarded thefrOntier. The senator
was particularly severe in denuncia-
tion OF the troops located in his dis
triCt. which were under the command
OfCapt. James Sheely. These attacks
resulted in the final disbandment OF
Capt. Sheely's command. Sheely had
long been known as one OF the bravest
men on the frontier and MS departure
was the cause OF great regret. For ten
months past every male inhabitant
along the border has taken sides for
or against the rangers. The feeling
between Hall and Sheely became in
tensely bitter.
About II O'Clock on Saturday night
Sheely sauntered into the gallery OF
Hollands Theater. Seeing Senator
Hall sitting in the front row, near an
aisle, Sheely approached and struck
Hall square in the face with his open
hand. He repeated this blow when
Hall succeeded In getting on his feet.
Instantly both drew revOlvers and be
gan firing, Sheely retreatIng backward.
4 perfect panic ensued in the theater
and people rushed wildly out into the
streets to escape the flying bullets.
The bystanders mOmentarily expected
Hall to drop with bullet in his heart,
Sheely being famous as a dead shOt.
The senator, however, faced his dan
gerous antagonist in the most desper-
ate fashion, stepping forward and fir
ing every time Sheely fired.
As Sheely reached the foot OF the
stairs Hall ran to the door and fired,
the last ball in his weapon. Sheely
gave no signs OF being hit, and pulled
off his coat and his shirt was red with
blood. This explained why the sena-
tor escaped with his life. In the duel
Sheely had been wounded by the first
bullet from Halls pistol, thus render
ing his aim uncertain. The ball en-
tered the right shoulder, coming out
Just beneath the shoulder Joint. Sena-
tor Hall believes he wounded Sheely
on the last instead OF the first fire, but
Sheely denies this.
1t was remarkable duel. Six shots
on each side were exchanged. Halls
clothing was perforated, while a bullet
razed Sheely's temple. The feud viii
undoubtedly be renewed as soon as
Sheely recovers sufficiently.

High Prices for Lead.

Lead has taken a sharp upward turn,
and verified fully that our current pro-
duction is below our demands, and that
we are at the beginning of a period Of
high prices for lead. The Denver Cir
cular says the presumed "bear move
ment" at New York proved to be only a
cub and not full-grown bear, for its
strength gave out at the first
encounter, and at last accounts
no one could find hide nor hair of
it. To the contrary, the strong demand
had absorbed all that was offered and
hungrily demanded more-but the
"more" was not forthcoming AT New
York sales OF about one thousand tons
were made at $4.20,$4.35 and $4.45 for
December and January shipment, mostly
common lead, and about four hundred
tons OF corroding at $4.37@4.45, while
spots were extremely short and taken
readily in small parcels at $4.40@4.50. AT
st. Louis and Chicago the situation is
equally strong, and lead has been sold
there freely at $4.10@$4.15, while the
cable reports strongly advancing mar
ket in England, so that the lowest inn
ported lead would cost $4.75, New York
duty paid, thus marking the present limit
of the possible advance here, and we re-
peat that miners can work diligently and
have no fear OF any slums in lead.

Emma Nevada on the Comstock.

1t was royal reception rendered to
Emma Nevada in Virginia City on Thurs
day. Her special car "Nevada" was de-
tached from the train at Carson, says the
Virginia Chronicle, as it was found by
measurements that it could barely pass
through the Homestead tunnel at Gold
Hill. As the train pulled into the depot
Emma stood on the rear platform of the
last coach and saluted the crowd by
waving her handkerchief and smiling
graciously, and was greeted in turn by a
general clapping of hands. Bill Mooney
was in waiting at the plat
form with an open landau
drawn by four blacks glittering
in gold-plated harness. After alighting
from the train the songstress was escorted
to the carriage by w. E. Sharon, and
accompanied by her husband, father and
two members Of the troupe, entered and
was driven south on Z street up Taylor,
to G, south to Sutton avenue and thence
to the fine residence of Superintendent
Sharon ON North B street, where she will
be guest during her stay in the city.

A New Method Of Attaching.

Yesterday afternoon Roberts d Neden,
the druggists, were surprised by an
officer coming into their store and attach
a show case for unpaid city taxes. Mr..
Roberts was not only astonished, but
very indignant that such n proceed
ing should be instituted against
him without any warning.
To DEMOCRAT reporter he said that he
had supposed all OF his taxes were paid,
as he had asked his partner, Mr. Neiden,
if such was the case, and Mr.. Neiden in
formed him it was. AS Mr.. Nelden has
never been here during the tax collecting
season, he thought when he paid
the Territorial and county taxes that
the whole thing had been settled up, and
so informed Mr.. Roberts. However, the
city tax was not paid, and furthermore,
Roberts & Nelden were not notified that
their taxes were due. The affair shows
a big blunder on the part Of young Tay-
lor, the city collector, and exposes mean
and contemplate action on his part in
attaching the showcase.
The present collector is son of John
Taylor and was given his position for that
reason, and not because of the will OF the
people.
As Mr.. Roberts has paid the taxes now
the attachment will be dropped.

Mr.. Lewis had been out spending the
evening with some friends. He was on
the his way home and had just stepped into
postofice to get the night mail, when,
turning around, he was faced by Sheriff
Groesheck, who had also called for his
mail. Seeing Mr.. Lewis, the Sheriff
called him aside, and in very gentle
manly way informed him that he had n
warrant for his arrest, and OF the nature
of the charge. He permitted Mr.. Lewis
to 20 without bail, with the understand
ing that he would appear with bondsmen
this morning at the City Hall. Accord
ingly, this morning Mr.. Lewis was on

men in the persons Of Messrs. Bolivar
Roberts and Andrew Brixen. The bail
was placed rather high-$1 900.
The complaint on which Lewis was ar
rested was sworn to on the 4th inst, be-

A lady's gold watch and a pair of
diamond earrings were rallied off in the
Walker House billiard hall last night.
There We're eighty chances taken at 50
piece; and the mode of rafting was
with three dice, and the conditions of
winning were the lowest throw for the
watch and the highest one for the ear
rings. The lucky winner of the watch
was John Denhalter, who threw 20, the
lowest number thrown. Harry Check, of
the Alta Club, scooped in the other prize
by throwing A, the highest number.
Mr.. Checks number was thrown by j.
X. Sands, who tipped the box in an artis-
tic manner. Mr.. Checks intention is
now to launch forth in the matrimonial
field. He thinks that ii the diamond
earrings won't bring his best lady-loye
to time, that he will make his visits less

utes each. Harry need have no fear

Torrance was repeated in the evening to
an audience that completely filed the
theatre, standing room being at pre-
MUM long before the curtain rose. The
company embraced well-balanced selec-
ton OF unique performers, whose varied
peculiarities as combined make Il very
enjoyable entertainment There are no
particular stars in the troupe, but each
performer is fully up to the average in
the specially for which he is announced.
Mr.. Joe Il. Sullivan and Mr.. w. f. Car.
roll created II large share OF the fun OF the
evening, and the bicycle-riding of the
Martell family was really excellent. The
Musical Kings, as they are announced,
comprising Messrs. Wood, Bersley, and
the Weston Brothers, are really refined
musical artists, and their performance
was deservedly applauded. One very
pleasing feature was the singing of La
Marseillaise and the Star Spangled Ban
ner, introducing the Bartholdi statue OF
Liberty by Miss Mollie Wilson. Till's
Marionettes present a remarkable perfor-
nance OF Automatic, exceeding anything
that has yet been seen here. A very
funny afterpece closes the performance,
that is well worth the attention OF the
lovers OF variety for the coming week.
