TRENTON, N. j., December 1O.-Public at

aldermanic scandal by the widely circu-
lated report yesterday o: duel, lid to
have taken place on the Pennsylvania side
of the Delaware river, opposite the city,
early yesterday morning. The principal
in
THIS AFFAIR OF HONOR
are said to be a Trenton druggist and a
sporting man OF this city, and the diff
Guilty which led up to the encounter, is said
to have had it's origin in dispute as to
the rights of the bellieerents to pay court
to pretty Jersey belle. The immediate
friends Of the Interested parties to the
alleged duel declined to talk, but a gen.
tleman who said he knew all
ABOUT THE HOSTILE MEETING
and how it resulted; said: "There were
seven persons in the party which left Tren-
ton at dawn yesterday morning. One of
the seconds was a Princeton student. A
Trenton physician also vert along. On a
hill near the old brewery stands q grove,
and there the site was selected. The regrl-
lation distance was paced off and the prin-
cipals took their positions.
REvOLvERs WE'RE THE WEAPONS.
The first shots exchanged went wide of
the mark. At the second fire the sporting
man fell to the ground. being wounded by
the druggist. The bullet had entered his
left shoulder. While he lay on the ground
he fired on his antagonist and struck him
in the right shoulder. The two duelists
were then driven back to town, and unless
their wounds prove serious they won't di-
vulge their names.

NURSE GIRLS DECLARE WAR.

Refusing to Wear Laoe Caps Unless Liber-
ally Paid for Doing So.
To every man whose wife has told him
four times in the last dozen years that she
has had to pay higher wages to new domes-
tics than che was paying to the old ones.
It will be interesting to note how these Ella
vations in wages are brought about. The
process of raising servant girls pay is now
in operation. There is n war between the
mistresses and maids which has not yet
reached the newspapers, but is none the less
fight to the bitter end-of higher pay to
the girls. The mistresses not only in this
city and Brooklyn but in all the cities, have
taken up era ze for linen caps on the heads
OF the nurse girls. In high and rich society
this has been the case for years, but a.nong
ladies of what may be called means the
line was drawn at white aprons and could
wear what hats they chose; but now the
edict has gone forth for caps.
"You must wear q cap or won't engage
you, says the mistress-even the mistress
of rather small means. Now, the domes-
tics have no union, but they meet one an
other in the intelligence offices and the
Easements, and the effect is the same as if
they are organized. The first revolt was
by the Irish maids, who are rather prouder
and more independent than the others, and
they considered the caps as badge of SER
vitude and said they would not wear them.

RICHMOND, Va, December 1O.-H. H.
During, policeman, who was arrested last
night on the charge OF bribing Herman Joel
a matchmaker, witness in the Cluverius
case, was before the police court to-day,
but the examination was postponed until
the 18th inst. When considering petitions
for executive clemency in the case of Clu-
verius, the Governor sent for Joel and
questioned him in regard to the watch key
At the request OF the Governor Joel des-
cribed the interior of the watch key which
he had repaired for Cluverius and after
wards opened it in the presence of the Gov
ernor. His description Tailed exactly with
the interior OF the watch key, At the trial
the commonwealth asked that the key be
opened up by Joel, but counsel for the de-
Tense objected. This was the strongest
point in the evidence against the prisoner,
and low since it has come to light the in
terror OF the watch key was found to be as
described by Joel, the evidence of the pris-
oner's guilt is even more conclusive.
Chief of Police Poe to-day received from
Superintendent Murray. OF New York, con-
tanning the following letter, which he had
received:

murder er of Lillian Madison. I will sur
render on the morning OF Cluverius' execu-
tion at your Headquarters. It is unnec-
eesary to give you further particulars, as
my case will show clearly about the muir
der at my trial. cannot wait any longer
in confessing my crime, as my conscience
has troubled me enough. will prove all
when surrender and there is nothing left
for me but to surrender, get trial and
probably hang. (Signed) Lillian Madi-
