night, the occasion being the County
Democracy gathering at Steinway Hal
TO hold a mass-meeting to ratify the
State and local nominations. When
the leaders and men Of prominence
walked upon the stage soon after )
o'clock the house was crammed.
Park Commissioner Beckman called
the meeting to order and Z. Ellery An

Of resolutions were adopted lauding the
State and local candidates in warm
terms. Then Mr.. Anderson introduced
Congressman George l.. Converse. OF

Mr.. Converse was greeted with a
storm Of applause, and when the tu-

ST. PETERSBURG, October 27.-The
Noroe Vremga publishes an interview
which its correspondent at Philippe
polls had with KaraveloG, the Bulgarian
prince. Karaveloff denied that Bull
garia had any agreement with England
or Austria before the Roumelian
revolution respecting the union OF Bull
garia and Roumelia, but that they acted
on their own responsibility in taking the
initiative in bringing about the union. IL
there was any instigator in the matter,
said the Bulgarian Premier. it was Rus
STA, whose onsul-General at Phillipopo-
lis first agitated the union and helped to
start newspaper at Phillipopolis de-
voted to the cause Of the union with Bull
garian money. When | entered the Min
istry, believing the game dangerous, |
stopped the subsidy Of the Bulgarian
Government to the newspaper and for
bnde the meetings Of Unionists in Bull
garia. Karaveloff reafIirmed the state
ment that Prince Alexander had notified
Russia Of the intention Of Roumelia to
unite with Bulgaria, and Roumelia was
willing 10 continue the Turkish suze-
rainty but would not cede an inch of
territory. In conclusion, the Bulgarian
Premier said eff Turkey declares
war, we alone are able to raise Mace
donia in three days. An European war
is none Of our business, and we are not
alarmed at the ornaments of Greece,
as her army is far from being terrible"
CoNsTANTINoPLE, October o.
The Porte continues massing troops at
points available for offensive operations
in Eastern Roumelia in the event Of ex-
treme measures being resorted to. A
dispatch from Smyrna to-day says that
10000 men of the reserves have gone
to Salonica.
The Bulgarian diplomatic agent, ia
kofgheron, has informed the Porte that
Servians invaded Bulgaria on Saturday
last, but afterwards withdrew.
ST.. PETERSBURG, October 81
The Noroe Vremya and Moscow Ga
zette, in editorials to-day, state that
they are sceptical of the benefit of the
conference Of the Powers on the Rou-
melian question, and fear it will injure
Russian interests. Russia has notified
the foreign banks of the probable early
withdrawal Of her deposits. The Rus
sian press considers this step political
one.
BELGRADE, October 27.-The Ser
Wan Government has replied to the COL
lective note Of the Powers, refusing to

stored.

stantinople instead Of at Vienna or

before the gun could be brought to
bear upon him, struck the Indian on
the head, and the gun was discharged
into the side Of the house. The rifle
was dropped in the scuille. Then CON-
menced rough-and-tumblc fight, both
Indians taking part. Gray lost his hold
of the whiilleuee, caught up carpen-
ter's Ratchet, and struck the Indian
nearest to him on the head, which felled
him to the floor. The other Indian
fed. Gray seized the fallen Indian by
the heels and dragged him out, aud fas-
tened the door. Whether the Indian
was dead or not, Gray was unable to
say. Friday morning a settler hap
pened TO 60 to Gray's house, and found
him in bed, badly bruised and
scratched, scarcely able to raise him
self. Gray says the Indian that fled
came back during the night and carried
away the other.

There is spirit of uneasiness manifest

fatal injuries received by members of
their race from widely differing causes.
They have taken up the case Of Harri-
son Haskell, who committed an out
rageous assault on German girl and
was shot by his victims brother in the
Criminal Court, and are banding to-
gether for his support. A meeting was
held to take measures to secure compe-

mayor last night received letter sign
ed b" Committee of Ten,' saying that
the colored people are very indignant at
the treatment they have been receiving,
and the shooting down Of their men
must be stopped by fair means or foul.
They conclude by saying: 1--WE will
have Justice or there will be trouble. "

How Woman with Starving Children Tried
10 Obtain Money.
A New York special says Profess
sor James Walsh stood in the dissect-
ing-room of the New York University
Medical College when a messenger ar
rived and announced that lady wished
to see him. The Professor at once or
dered that she be admitted. AS this
is most unusual request on the part
of lady, and as the Professor did not
know of any female acquaintance who
would be particularly anxious to see
him in the dissecting-room, his curiosi-
ty was aroused to learn the cause of
this lady's visit.
After the lapse of half minute or so
tall, angular woman, past middle life,
with = Teutonic cast of countenance
and an unmistakable accent, made her
appearance.
I" You are the superintendent here ?"
she asked, and without waiting for an
answer added, 81 have body at home
wish to dispose of, and | am told you
buy such things here" This was at
once in the line Of the Professors busi-
ness, and he eagerly caught at the OPP
portunity.
"Yes, we buy bodies here" he said,
"but they must be of the right kind
no mutilation, no infection, nothing of
that sort, you know"
"Oh," she Replied, "this body is
all right, and | will be responsible for
it. You see, my children are hungry,
and it will not do to starve while one
can get bread. do hate to see them
dying before my very eyes while / am
able to give them no help"
Perhaps, then, it is the body Of one
of your children you are goingto sell, :"
interposed Professor Walsh. - In that
case it would be Of no use to US, as we
require adults alone"
ION that score you may rest easy.
II is not my children's body, but my
own, for can get bread now no other
way, and you can have itas soon as re-
ceiye the money, for l can die easy
when know the little ones have had
something to eat"

4 NOVEL DUEL.

How n Texan and an indian Succeeded In
Kiuipa Each Other.
A Denison (Texas) special says :
The particulars Of novel duel in the
Indian Territory were received here
this afternoon. The affair came off at
Tisbamingo, in the Choctaw Nation, last
Friday. Tisbamingo is a small village,
where the Indians do their trading,
and is the frequent resort of
hard characters from Texas and
other parts Of the United States.
That region is full of outlaws. Among
q dozen or more outlaws and Indians
sitting in a saloon on Friday was tall
Texan named Chalmers. An Indian
police officer named Brown entered the
saloon, and Chalmers insisted on treat
ing. AS they were about to drink
Brown managed to spill Chalrners's
liquor on the floor, telling him he had
enough. This enraged the Texan, who
demanded blood, and pulled his re-
volver with one hand and his dirk with
the other. Brown also drew his wea-
pom, and fight was about to open
when the spectators interlered and at
tempted to settle the matter.
Nothing would satisfy the wounded
honor Of Chalmers but blood, and so
the other white men and Indians fixed
up fight on the following terms The
two men were to stand back to back in
the middle of the floor. At given
signal each man was to run out of the
room, the Indian through the front
door and the Texan by the back
door. They were to turn in the same
direction after clearing the doors, and
begin firing promiscuouSly. Both prin-
cipals agreed to these terms and
took their positions. The signal was
given, and both started from the
house, pistols in hand. They faced
each other on the north side of the
house and opened fire at almost the
same instant. Three rounds were fired
in quick succession. Then the Indian
began to stagger, and, running toward
Chalmers with drawn knife, plunged
it into the Texans breast just as the
latter fired his last bullet, which pene-
trated the Indians heart, killing him
instantly. Chalmers died half an hour
after his antagonist. Over fifty Indians
and whites witnessed the duel. Among
the whites was Fred. Fisher, we'll
known cattle-buyer, who vouches for
the authenticity of these facts.

was one of the very best our people
