OTTAWA, Ill. Nov. 23.-Miss Nellie
Gilbert, daughter of H. H. Gilbert, the
wealthy grain merchant, was last summer
enrolled in the Boston Conservatory of
Music, but on account of i'll health re-
turned to her home in Utica, near this
place, in September. On the evening Of
Oct. %, while relating a story to her par
ents, she stopped suddenly and rambled
OFT into ,unintelligible mutterings, and
shortly tell into commissions. She fingered
between life and death for four weeks,
utterly bereft of reason and partially I'M
conscious. Every sound caused a renewal
OF the commissions and rawlings, and for
weeks the little town refrained from out
door demonstrations. On Monday even
ing last, at the same hour at which four
weeks before she had been stricken with
the strange malady, her reason returned,
and taking up the thread of her story she
finished it. She had not realized the
lapse of time.

was caused among the park police last
night by the receipt of a note that two
society young men intended to fight a
duel in Central park during the night

officers were told to look vigilantly for the
duellests throughout the night and arrest
any suspected parties. An officer found
in a secluded place near the west drive,
and near Ninety-second stl eet early in the
morning, two blood stained handkerchiefs
covered with clots of blood and a cheap
pistol. All the hospitals were searched

things were received, and it was an unusu-
al visit at such an early hour.

the Demands.
The ~Switchmen's Strike.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-The strike of
the railroad switchmeD is taking an ugly
phase. Not a single switch engine in the
city was moved this morning. In the
freight yards everything is in confusion
and morning trains were abandoned half
made up or not made up at all. In all the
yards business was at a complete stand
still. In several places engineers and fire.
men or other employees were pressed into
service and tried to 90 on with the work,
but the strikers interfered and successfully
prevented the departure of any trains.
Engineers and firemen are in sympathy
with the switchmen and made no attempt
to man their engines.
In nearly every instance they have quit
work and run their engines into their stalls
and drew the fires when the switchmen
requested it. All the forenoon strikers
have been going in gangs from one yard
to another and warning applicants for
work that if they undertake to touch the
switch engines they would be handled
roughly.
The officers of the road called for police
protection at noon and an effort will be
made to start out new crews this evening.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-A new fea-
ture in the switchmen's strike is that this
afternoon the manages of the ~Indianap-
oils, Decatur & Western company con-
coded the demands of the striking switch
men and the latter returned to work. The
switckmen are jubilant over the victory
and believe the other companies will be
compelled to follow.
