A BOLT.-Last nigh nine or ten demo
cratic" members of the caucus Of reform"
members Of the Richmond Council bclted
and left that body. These members before
leaving declared that the nominations made
by the caucus last Thursday night, and oil
OF the policy of the caucus had been directed
by John S. Wise and others republicans.
The boilers said they had no idea whom
they were elected that the new party was
to be run as II republican party machine
and expressed very decided opposition to
being made cats paws i'll such way. This
loss sustained by the "reforn2crs" left them
but with twenty two members Of the caucus,
three less than q majority Of the whole
Council, which number will not be suflic
lent to eject the officers, and it is believed
that the men who left the caucus will act
with the democrats. If thoy do, it will give
that party control Of the Council. Tho
new Council will 20 into office to morrow,
and but for the bolt the city officers
nominated by the "reformers'" caucus,
would have been elected shortly there
after Both sides will make q vigorous
ellort TO secure a sufficient number of re-
calcitrants to give them control Of tho
two branches of the city legislature. The
democrats with the accession of tho ere,
form" aldermen who left the caucus, have
the board Of aldermen absolutely, and can
prevent the election of any of the men NOM
mated by the "reformers" for city Offices.
or block legislation in any other way they
see fit. Notwithstanding the desertion the
caucus continued to nominate the remain
der of the officers.

Duel.

CHICAGO, June 30.-A Gatcsville, Texas,
special says: james Cooper and Jos. Van
Wrinkle fought all informal duel with revol-
vers yesterday on Brown creek, in Coryell
county. Both were fatally wounded Coop
or was shot in the head and died in few
minutes. Van Wrinkle was shot through
the bowels, and has since died. Cooper and
Van Wrinkle were mortal enemies, having
quarreled about q year ago over some cattle.
Yesterday they met on Brown creek, and
after some hot words they agreed to fight 10
the death. They measured off the ground,
and each with his watch in his hand waited
for the moment agreed upon for opening
fire. At the appointed time two shots rang
out almost simultaneously. Van Wrinkle had
received his fatal wound, but Cooper was
not scratched. Another round was fired,
and Cooper fell with a bullet in his brain.
This is the story as told by Van Wrinkle be-
fore his death. The firing attracted some
herders about mile distant, and they cared
for the wounded man until he died.

PASSED OVER THE VETo.-The Senate
yesterday, by vote of 81 to Is, passed over
the Presidents veto the bill to quiet titles Of
settlers on the Des Moines river lands. In
1916 Congress granted land to the Territory
of Iowa 10 aid the Improvement of the navi
CATION of the Des Moines river. The terms
of the grant being indefinite, the different
departments of the government made con-
aicting decisions as to its extent. A de.
cision of the Supreme Court in 1850 dimin-
ished the grant and invalidated a number
of titles derived from the Territory, but in
1862 Congress transferred to the State of
Iowa its interest in the disbuted tracts
The bill just vetoed reasserted the Federal
title, aud directed the Attorney General to
begin suits to regain possession. The
ground taken in the veto was that the act Of
Congress in 1862 relieved the Federal gov
eminent OF any further interest or concern
i'm the matter.

The Lake Shore Strikers.

CHICAGO, June 30.-It seems evident from
the events of yesterday afternoon and even
ing that the Lake Shore strikers are deter.
mined to mako long and bitter fight.
Many ofthe railroad employees sympathize
with the strikers and express the belief that
the strike has only begun, and that the COM
pauy will not be able to hold out with the
necessary force of deputies as long as its en-
emies will be able to poster them with the
annoyances of yesterday afternoon. On the
other hand the officials of the road declare
their determination TO go straight forward
on the present line, and fight the battle to
the end if it takes o thousand policemen to
accomplish final and complete victory

Those who are working for the Palestine cx-
ploration fund in Jcrusacm are, it is said on tho
eve of most important discoveries. 1t is we'll
known, writes the London correspondent Of tho
Manchester Guardian. that there are three walls
Of Jerusalem, of which tho first is attributed to
the time of David, and tho second to that Of Nc.
hemiah while the third was much later and not
more than au unimportant outwork In tho days
Of Christ the second was to all intonts and pur-
poses the city wall. Portions of wall have lately
been uncovered which, on account of its charac-
tcristic old Jewish workmanship, experts aver
that it is beyond all doubt the second wall. Now
this seems 10 travel in such direction that tho
holy scpulchrc would be included in its ambit. If
further excavations should prove this conjecture
to be true, it would be shown to demonstl alton
that the so.called holy places cannot he what
they arc said be, for it is certain that the Sc
pulchre must havo been outside the walls.
