A Terrible Discovery.

CHICAGO, Dec. T.-When Joseph Rosa
cutter employed iu Clark street tailor
shop returned to his home last night, he
found the door leading to his fiat locked
and barred. Vigorous knocking brought no
response and when the door was finally
forced, terrible sight met the eyes of the
unfortunate man. The bodies of his wife,
Antonio, and his IS months old child we're
dangling from the transom of the bed room
door, suspended by pieces of shawl straps
The dead woman was a native of Saxony,
and twenty-four years old. She married
Rosa less than two years ago. Their domes.
tic relations are said to have been pleasant,
but Mrs. Rosa became nearly crazed when
her child took sick recently. It is supposed
that she committed the deed when tempo.

Duel with Swords.

CHICAGO, Dec. ia duel with swords
was fought yesterday morning in Hum.
bodt Park. A little before seven O'Clock
two closed carriages entered the park
through the south entrance. Each carriage
contained principal with his second and a
surgeon. They were driven to the western
end of the park where they alighted and
concealed themselves behind clump of
trees. The arrangements being completed,
the principals each drew shining sabre,
and the contest began. Soon both were
wounded-one received sword thrust
through the breast, and bis opponent was
cut across the face, and will probably bear
scar for some time With this drawing of
blood the duelsts seemed to be satisfied, for
they quickly got into their carriages which
were rapidly driven to the nearest drug
store. There the wounds were dressed and
the daelists again got in the carriages and
were rapidly driven out of sight. Circum-
stances point to the editor of pharmaceu.
tical journal and \ young medical student
as the principals. 1t is said the cause of
the affair was dispute as to the hand of a
young lady. A park policeman was a dis
tant spectator of the fight, bat was too
to attempt an interference.
