A Challenge from Smith.

Special te Chicago Tribune.
j. Amber Smith, the attorney and ex congress
man, who was assaulted on the train to Alexan-
dria, last night by John S. Wise, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Virginia, has chal-
lenged Wise. Mr. Ramsburg, of Maryland, a
friend of Smiths is to call upon Wise to- o-morrow
to learn who will act as his second that the pre-
liminaries for the fight may be arranged at once.
In speaking of the affair to your correspondent
Mr.. Smith said:
Had Wise come to me tonight, should have
considered that was doing a duty to my God,
my country, and myself by sticking knife into
his throat That was my intention at the time.
and | intimated as much to Mr. Wise. His
friends came to me at the conclusion of the
meeting and said that Wise would make any
apology that | desired; but l told them
he could only do through the press,
thereby acknowledging the truth of my
denunciation. / am determined to have salts
faction for this foul blow, and | have already
sent to HIM demand that we settle the difficult
ty with weapons, allowing him to choose any
thing from penknife to a double -barreed shot
gun Mr. Ramsburg will see him tomorrow
morning at the Metropolitan Hotel, and expect
by O'Clock to learn his determination in the
matter If he refuses to give me the satisfaction
| require | shall take some means to force it
from him. I have received gross and foul
affront from him, and he can hardly avoid max
ing some reparation."
When Mr.. Smith said this he was in the heat
of rage and smarting under the hideous insult of
Wises fat fist in his mouth, but it is said that he
is cooler to night and has promised his friends
that he will let the matter rest until he meets
Wise, and that he will personally chastise him.
Perhaps Mr.. Smith was safe in challenging Mr..
WISE for he must have recalled that in the last
State campaign Wise made a public record by
refusing to fight duel.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The outcome Of the
row between John S. Wise, Republican candi-
date for Governor of Virginia, and John Amber
Smith, quondam independent candidate for
Congress from the same State. is awaited with
eager interest by all classes of politicians here
Like all such controversies the affair has two faces
Wises friends say that he was grossly insulted
and resented the insult at once as any man
would have done. He knocked his traducer
down with one blow. and further, they
claim that Smith was drunk. Smith. on the
other hand, asserts that five men attacked
him, and that he offered no insult until after
Wise struck the first blow; that the attack was
unwarranted and cowardly The majority of
those on board the train at the time of the oc-
currence seem disposed to take Wise's statement
as the truth of the matter and it is natural to
suppose that it is the true version, for John s.
Wise, although always ready and quick with fst
and tongue, has never been known to strike
cowardly blow. That the affair will end in
bloodshed is extremely improbable. Wise has
before notified a challenger that the ''code
duello" is dead. Smith knows Wise's senti-
ments, and, knowing them, will doubtless chal-
lenge him. 1t is another Virginia duel of the
nineteenth century.

NEW YORK NOTES.
Mariner Tams Threatens to Sue the Papers
Because They Made Fun of Him.

Mariner Tams Threatens to Sue the Papers
Because They Made Fun of Him.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Oct. 3-Nine libel suits are
threatened as an outcome of the international
yacht races. The plaintiff in these probable
is to be Freddy Tams, chairman of the
New York Yacht Clubs committee having in
charge the arrangements of the contests. His
grievance is that the newspaper reporters made
fun of him. He is physically comical little
man. and a curious pomposity of manner tempt
ed the describers of the races to include him in
the amusing sights. He has wealth and solid
social position, with no business to fill his time
which is mostly spent in the clubs and aboard
yachts. In his own set he is extremely popular,
and nobody accuses him of vicousness But as
boss of the races he was so vastly overweighted
that, his friends say, he was not at all himself.
Before two of the five days of sailing had elapsed
he had suffered what looked like contemptuous
treatment, by Captain Sutton, of the Genesta
and Forbes of the Puritan, though there was no
open rupture. Then. he undertook to snub the
reporters, and some of them succumbed to the
temptation to write the grotesque truth very
pointedy as to his person and actions. This
stunned him at the time but now he demands
apologies on pain of prosecution

Consanguineous Marriages.


New YORK, Oct. 3-Two cousins in the
wealthy and fashionable Stevens family wish to
marry. and there is no hindrance except their
fear that the common idea Of the physical evils
of wedlock between blood relatives is sound.
They went for advice to noted physician, who
has for months been engaged in as thorough an
investigation of the subject as can be made.
Out of the great amount and diversity of author
tiles he derives the conclusion that consanguine-
Gus marriages are not dangerous once. but that
the family must not do SO again. That is TO
say he is convinced that the children of parents
whose progenitors not similarly related are
as healthy as the average. but that if the prac-
tice be kept up through several generations
physical deterioration will ensue. AS he can
discover tant of inherited disease in either of
his patients, to be doubled in intensity in the
offspring, but on the contrary they possess ad-
mrable physiQues, ne advises them to wed if
they desire to. Their wedding will be one of the
social events of the winter.

THE GRANT MEMORIAL.

Abandonment OF the Scheme for Holding n

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, Oct 3.-The project of great
fair for the Grant monument fund has been all
but abandoned, though the Madison square Gar
den has been Professionally secured for the pur-
pose. Vanderbilt has thus far declined to con-
tribute. saying that he would not do so until he

therell be no quarrel about the rent" it is
assumed that he means to take nothing.
That would be equivalent to gift
of $40, 900. But the responsiveness among fash
ionable women is slight and cool. The Grants
never mingled in their social circles, and conse-
quently there is no feeling of personal interest.
The good excuse for relinquishing the scheme is
found in the refusal of the fire insurance compa-
nies to write policies adequately protecting such
a collection OF pictures as was contemplated. In
last winters notable exhibition of paintings in
the Union League Club, five companies con-
sented to divide among them risk of half
million dollars, in addition to the half million
already covering the house and usual contents.
They were scared By the venture, and have since

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-In meeting of life-in-
surance officers, attended by the presidents of
three of the larger companies and the actuaries
of number of others, the question of insuring
the lives of Presidents of the United States
was discussed. The subject was neither serious
ly nor formally considered, but it chanced to be
suggested, and general expression of ideas en-
sued. The proposition was that, as two out of
twenty two Presidents have been assassinated,
or about 10 per cent, the risk is proportonately
extrahazardous. 1t was stated that Arthur had
policy of ten thousand on entering the office of
Vice president, and that, after becoming Presi-
dent, he applied for and obtained second for
the same amount. Five thousand dollars were
lost on Lincoln and twelve Garfield. Cieve-
land has policies for SIG 000 all issued before his
election and month ago one of the New York
companies received, through its Washington
agency, an application for $4,000 more This
will be promptly granted, and the discussion
here was merely speculative though it was con-
ceded that the element of risk in a President is
above the average

It's Advocates Actively at Work and Confident

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The advocates of the
"Blair educational bll"-so- -called--are actively
at work in behalf of their pet measure, and are
confident that it will be much stronger in the
next House than it was last year. Senator
Blair, who is now here, will introduce the origi-
nal bill early in the coming session, and there
is no reason to believe that its fate in the Senate
will differ from last year. The question of fed
eral aid to education has been made an issue in
the Virginia campaign, but like most other
issues, the Democrats are disposed to
dodge it. The Republicans have actively
championed the cause of federal aid to education,
and their opponents fear to meet them IN discuss,i
