A Duel to the Death.

A Berlin dispatch of the 9th says: A
great sensation has been caused through
out the grand duchy by domestic drama,
in which tragedy are wealthy Manneheim
banker his pretty wife and a fascinating
lieutenant Of the dragons. The banker,
moody, preoccupied man, had for long
time neglected his wife, and she apparently
found her isolations tedious. for when
Lieut.. Schele offered to act as her cavalier
she accepted his services. The banker saw
no harm in his wife riding and driving
with the young officer, but malicious
rumors which did not come to the ears of
the husband, were soon in circulation. Sew
eral days ago it was reported that the cou-
pie had eloped, but it was found that the
lady had gone to visit her brother.in-a q
country house. The bankers suspicious
were aroused however, and on making in
quiries he soon learned enough to convince
him that he had been betrayed. He chal-
lenged the lieutenant, and the duel was
fought yesterday in a wood near this city.
Schiele deliberately fired wide of his mark,
but the banker took careful aim and killed
his opponent. The sympathy is all with
the lieutenant, and nobody has word to
say for the husband, who has announced
his intention of obtaining a divorce.
