Duel In a Street-Car.

JERSEY CRY, n. j., Dec. 30
Last night Frederick Smith and
August Broden met Unexpectedly
in Union Hill car which was filled
with passengers, many of whom
were ladies. An old teud which has
existed between them for a number
of years was renewed, and after an
interchange of hot words both men
drew revoivers and fired at each
other. The other passengers fled
precipitately from the car and Smith
was left lying on the floor with the
blood flowing from a wound in his
side and two wounds in his arm.
Broden was arrested and lodged in
Jail. On the way to the station
house Broden complained of pain in
his arm. An examination subse-
quently made showed that he had
received a bullet. Smith was re-
moved to his home; where his
wounds were dressed. The wound
in bis side may prove fatal.

killing a Mad Hog.

PoRT JERvIs, Dec. 80 Last sum.
mer a mad dog ran through the
township of Coleville. in Sussex Co
New Jersey, biting a number of dogs
cattle, sheep, and hogs. All the
dogs known TO have been bitten were
killed or chained to await furtne,
developments. A close watch was
kept on the injured cattle. A few
days afterward two calves showed
every evidence of rabies and after
one had died the other was killed to
put it out of misery.
Among the bitten animals was a
hog belonging to Thomas Bross. The
hog was kept confined for several
weeks but as it did not develop any
signs of hydrophobia it was allowed
to reloin the other hogs. Last Fri
day Mr.. Bross noticed that the hog
refused its food. He again placed il
in confinement. The next day it
was frothing at the mouth, and oc-
casionally had convulsions. 1t also
tried to bite everything that ap-
preached it, and chawed its trough
to pieces. Mr.. Bross kept the hog
day longer, and, being satisfied
that the hog had hydrophobia, he
killed il.
The farmers are wondering if any,
thing serious would have happened
if the hog had been slaughtered a
few days before the disease exhibited
itself and the meat had been eaten.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Four hun
dred and forty eight persons waited
patiently in the East Room of the
White House to-day to pay their re-
spects to the President. The crowd
was almost twice as large as at any
preceding reception of this kind.
The President appeared just before
two O'Clock and entered upon his
task with such expedition that the
entire room was cleared in sixteen
minutes. Several persons tried to
engage the Presidents attention
with private matters, but they were
told to call again tomorrow. One
individual shook hands in an agita-
ted manner with one OF the ushers
and passed the President without
noticing him. He was reminded of
his mistake by the laughter of the
crowd and strove to return and
shake the Presidents hand, but was
borne away by the rapidly moving
line of people behind him.

500 before reaching San Francisco.

to work for one year at the wages
prevailing on the coast for the pur-

The movement is looked upon as q

trouble from opposition by China
men, as the factories are in the very
heart of the Chinese settlement.

Talking about hotel rivalry" !"
said citizen last night, as he took
chair on the sidewalk in front OF a
well known hotel, al have seen a
good deal of it at summer resorts,
but never saw it manifested in such
a degree as it is in Buffalo just now.
The Genesee is a brand-new and
superbly furnished house, which has
undertaken to knock out the hne
old Tiff house, which every traveller
knows has been a hotel of the lrst-
class for years. Lord, what busi-
ness the lift used to do during race
week in Buffalo, was at the Gen.
esee few weeks ago, and | thought
it the height of perfection. l never
received better treatment at any
New York house. The other day |
went to Buffalo again and registered
at the Tiff. Talk about enterprise !
They had curtained off a portion OF
the dining-room, and stationed with
in the inclosure q big orchestra,
which played opera airs and other
music during the whole dinner
time"
That's nothing at all, " said anoth-
er citizen. Il was in San Francisco
in 1851, when two hotels got to rum
ming each other. forgot their
names, but that doesn't make any
difference. Number one started
with brass band concert on the
balcony every evening, and 1t drew
big crowds, including about all OF
number two'5 guests. Pretty soon
however number one began to lose
its guests by the score without any
apparent cause. The proprietor In
creased his brass band and polished
up his bar, but without effect. 1t
didn't take him long to find out
that number two was having nightly
cooking mains and dog-fghts for the
exclusive benefit of guests. Then
number one got back part OF his Gus
tom by introducing private prize
fights and slugging-matches. 1t
may sound preposterous, but itss a
fact, that when miners and others
wanted to settle personal differences,
they used TO 60 to the proprietor OF
number one, who paid them well
for fight, the money going to the
winner. OF course these exhibitions
were given in private quarters, and
none but guests and their friends
were admitted. Number two saw
number ones prize-fghts and slug
ging-matches and went it one better.
They knocked out one end OF their
dining-room and built on a stage
and a green room and all other ac-
cessories, and had variety perform
ances at breakfast, dinner and sup
per. This turned the tide in favor
of number two, until one day des-
perado went into number one and
shot the bartender. This made num-
Der one famous, and placed 1t TAR
ahead ofnumber two In the estima-
ton of the public. The proprietor
of number two, however, saw his
opportunity and prepared a coup
d etat. He headed gang which
went out and captured the murder
er, and strung him up on the dining
room stage at supper, and all the
guests were accorded the privilege
of firing their revolvers at his
dangling body. One shot acciden-
tally went through the head of a
waiter, and the entertainment far
exceeded the proprietor's most san
guine anticipations." !"

journed to the bar-room.-S Syracuse

Apache Mssacres in New Mexico,

CHICAGO, Dec, 2S.-W. ]. Jones,
one of the best-known ranehmen in
Arizona, arrived at FL Paso on Sun.
day from the vicinity of the recent
Indian Massacres. He says the sit
uation in Western New Mexico and
Eastern Arizona is really much
worse than has been reported by the
newspapers. He declares that no
one person can gather an adequate
idea of the terrorized condition of
the inhabitants and the actual num-
Der of people killed by the Apaches
within the last two months. Dozen
of families have been massacred in
distant parts of the Territory, and
the news of their death has never
spread beyond the immediate vicin-
ity, owing 20 the long distance and
separation from the outside world.
Mr.. Jones mentions three murders
in New Mexico the accounts OF
which to his knowledge, have never
been published, and says that just
prior to his departure from New
Mexico he helped bury a neighbor
who was found murdered by In
dians. The fearful loss by fire and
plunder at the hands of marauding
Apaches has slso been under estima-
ted, as many ranches have been lit
orally cleaned up of stock and the
houses burned. The ranchmen OF
Graham County, Ariz., have equip
ped ranger force at their own ex-
pense and placed them in the field.
Settlers are depending entirely on
these rangers. Mr.. Jones asserts
that the regular army is no longer
relied upon by the people to sup
press these frequent outbreaks, and
SAYS that Governor Zulick, of Ariz.,
is in favor of Immediately organiz-
ing force of Territorial rangers, and
has been petioned to call the Legis-
lature together for that purpose.

A Big Elk.

A few weeks ago Jack Gaylord
was on a hunt in the Wind River
Mountains among the foot hills OF
which his ranch is situated. From
a close-grown pine thicket one morn
ing there leaped the largest elk he
had ever seen. As the huge animal
paused moment to sniff the taint-
ed gale" the hunters ready rife
cracked. The elk was evidently hit
but only slightly, and away he went
crashing through the brush and ovel
the loose shingle OF the mountain
side, and now began the chase. The
dogs were put upon the track, and
soon the cliffs and chasms echoed to
their opening music. The royal elk
headed straight for the brakes of the
Sable Mountain, a huge peak, one Of
the loftiest of the range, that rose
some five miles distant On the
summit of this mountain raises a
crest of rocks, that, at a distance ex-
actly resembles a huge table.
Though be had evidently selected
the Table Peak as his final place OF
refuge, the cunning quarry doubled
again and again on MS pursuers.
But the hounds were not to be
shaken OFF, and at the end of two
hours run the elk found himself al
the foot of the peak, with the hunt
er and hounds close on his launch.

The clamor of the dogs was redoub-
led. The hounds were now close
upon the noble game, and under the
giant shadow of the table it turned
at bay. AS the foremost ofthe dogs
emerged from the last copse and
sprung full at the throat, the branch
ing antlers were suddenly lowered,
the keen tines pierced from side to
side, and all that was left of the
staunch hound was thrown high in
air, and fell far down the steep in
cline. Nothing daunted, the re-
manning hound. too. made its fierce
spring and shared the fate of its
ccmrade. The bushes parted, and
the hunter stepped into the open
battle ground, where had Just per-
ished his two gallant hounds. With
a hoarse below, the animal rushed
at him. The hunter fired and the
next instant was hurled aloft on the
broad antlers. His stout buckskin
hunting shirt turned aside the sharp
prongs, but they had become fasten-

fair to be thrashed to death against
the rocky ground. As Tor second

bush and kept his grasp long
enough to enable him, with his 9th

his belt, and send ball crashing
through the brain of his savage foe.
