plains Of Lazaro, t4ear the City Of Mexico,
a duel took place SATURDAY between Er-
milo g. Canton, a thirty-third degree
mason, who is editor Of the Scottish
Rite organ, and general Jesus Toledo, a
prominent templar. The quarrel grew
out of a fight between the scottish Rite
organ and the Cruz Femplar, and involv-
ed the templars. A challenge from the
editors was declined by Canton on the
ground Of social distinction, but the an
s}Ner in turn suggested that the proper
course for CHALLENGE was from promi

ledo and Canton met at . yards distance
and fired simultaneously with the gen

weapons were then used and the soldier

NEW ALBANY, Ind, July ga middle
aged woman named Wiseman and her
nineteen-year-old daughter live in the
neighborhood Of Carnes Mills, Crawford
County, and incurred the displeasure of
the white Caps" who charged that the
women were unchaste. On the night of
July % about twenty-five we'll mounted
and armed "White Caps" rode up
to the Wiseman house, took
the mother and daughter out of

back with hickory switches. The blood
followed each blow. Their shrieks and
cries for mercy were disregarded. and the
blows continued until both fell fainting on
the ropes that held them. They were then
cut loose. The "White Caps" remounted
their horses, aud after brief consultation,
overheard by three men in q house near
by. rode away.
The white Caps" had agreed in their
consultation to ride to the house Of Leslie
Moreland, a reputable citizen Of the neigh
borhood. tell him what they had done and
why, and order him to spread the news,
this being their custom. The three men
who overheard this arrangement were
relatives of Moreiand and, taking their
guns, they took short cut to Moreland's.
They told Moreland of what they had
heard and secreted themselves in thicket
almost in front of Moreland's house.
The white Caps" soon appeared and
called Moreland out. He came to the door
with his rife. They told their errand and
ordered him to start out at daylight and
spread the news. Moreland refused,
whereupon the 'White Caps" threatened
to call again and hang him, and then be-
gan firing revolvers at the house. More
land replied with his rifle, and at the same
moment the three men in ambush fired
upon the gang. At this the ''White Caps"
galloped away, one of them, John
Saunders. leaving a bloody hat on the
highway and two others being supported
in their fight by their companions.
Three of them had been shot, two of
them, John Saunders and Pryor Gregory,
supposed fatally. The name of the other
victim was not learned. Gregory is q WELL
known country merchant at West Fork

UNDERTAKING NAMES.


The Trouble Experienced With Foreigners
Mt Castle Garden.
Sometimes, but not very frequently,
the registrars at Castle Garden get
completely bowled out as to the spell
ing Of an immigrants name. Most OF
them are as thoroughly conversant
with all the modern languages as if
they had been reared in the tower of
Babel, and when man replies that
his name is ''Smi-,' the registrar
takes one glance at his face and attire,
and has the name written correctly as
to the minutest variation of rationale
ty in spelling, commencing with Sch
and ending with .'dt'' or '.ze," or plain
Smith" almost before the last sound
has emanated from the owners mouth.
But a day recently was one for jaw
breakers. The steamship Elder had
brought over a peculiar collection OF
Sclavonians and Czechs and Russian
Poles whose autographs the registrars
knew not. They stumbled along sue
cessfully with Sachariasen, Walinto-
uOWltZ, 1dTCZcuShd dliu SuCu Like, uu-
til a massive Russian from the out
skirts of the empire somewhere within
sight of the Chinese walk advanced in
solemn stateliness and from behind
and beneath beard thicker than a
Circassian woman's hair, uttered a
sound that resembled prolonged and
muffied sneeze.
The registrar tried him again. but
after several repetitions acknowledged
himself beaten and passed him around
to another official linguist. 1t was
useless. The foreigner with the sneez-
ish name was taken into the Office I'M
til more time was available to unravel
his mystery, when. with combined ef-
fOrts-for he himself could not write
the name was discovered to be this:
'.Juzefovi Cisienszkemnobrem.
He had friends here and consider
able money, and was not detained

OF the wall. from which there is al
ways broad view. Having always
spoken of the ''mounjigi," or gateman,
l must give an account Of the other

''kuiso." He is q little too high and
mighty to work and little too low in

cOrt. Whenever you 60 out into the

promptly are unceremoniously pushed
aside. He acts as errand boy as well.
All notes are carried by him and pur-
chases are largely made through him.
He never steps inside the door of the
house. When man comes to
sell you any goods of any kind
he states to the kuiso what he
has to sell. The kuiso comes and
tells you, and If you want to see the
article the man is admitted into the
yard and comes and spreads his goods
out before you on the piazza or on the
floor. You ask him the price and he
names ten times what he is willing to
part with it for. You tell him it is
too much and name about one-fourth
what he has asked, wondering at your
own temerity. He folds up the stuff,
gives you glance half of injured in
nocence and half of contempt, and
marches of, but in a few moments
sends the kuiso back to tell you that
he will split the difference, but he
will hope that you are too wise to do
so. Finally he sends in the goods and
accepts your offer. He carries the
money down to the big gate and
your servants gather about him, and
first he gives the kuiso one-tenth of
the whole amount, then divides two
more tenths among the other servants,
and, after giving little more to any
other chance witnesses he goes of
with approximately the proper sum,
the sum you ought to have given. OF
course the kuiso is always wanting
you to buy. for it simply increases

THE IOWA ROADS.
Judge Brewer Enioins the Iowa Railroad
Commissioners.

Judge Brewer Enjoins the Iowa Railroad
Commissioners.
LEAvENwORTH. Kan. July 26.-Judge
Brewer to-day recorded his decision in the
famous case of the corporation railroads
against the Iowa Railroad Commissioners,
ordering a temporary injunction against
their schedule of rates.
The first question considered was whether
suit against the Railroad Commissioners
to enjoin them from putting in force .
schedule Of rates was q suit against the
State within the purview Of the
Eleventh amendment and, therefore
one of which the Federal court could
not take jurisdiction. As only railroad
companies and shippers are directly inter-
ested in the case the Judge held that the
Federal court had full jurisdiction.
The power Of fixing rates was q legisla
tive one, but there is NO inherent wrong in
the Legislature delsgating this power to
the Commission, the main question being
the fairness and justice of the rates, NOT
what body fixed them. The question Of
the constitutionality of the Commission
was one for the Supreme Court Of ths
State.
Tie third principal question was whether
the Legislature had unlimited power in the
matter of fixing rates either by its own
action or through the agency Of q railroad
commission, and this the Judge denied
He held that the Legislature has no right
or power to fix rates SO low as not to fur
nish some compensation to the railroad
companies, and compensation to the own.
ers implies revenues sufficient to meet,
First, the cost Of service; second, the fixed
charges by way of interest; third, some
thing, however small. in the way Of divi-
dend.
He further holds that while from the
volume Of the testimony offered upon this
application it is not clearly established
that the schedule prepared by the Com
mission will fail of producing compensa.
ton yet there is q probability that it will
and therefore . primary injunction is APP
propriate until there can be full and final
inquiry.
The railroad companies are greatly
pleased. They declare that the loss
Of half . million dollars . day hung
upon this decision. The opinion ID Of great
length going into the subject in detail -

THE BROTHERHOOD FIGHT.

The Position Of the Burlington Strikers In.
dorsed-A Federation to be Formed.
ST. JOSEPH, No., July 26.-The joint
meeting of the Brotherhoods met at two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and concluded
its deliberations, adjourning at i've O'Clock.
1t transpires now that the business of this
meeting had very little relevancy to a set
Element Of the Burlington difficulties, but,
on tine contrary, was held for the purpose
Of making war to the knife on the railroad
system. ". NJ. Armer, chairman Of Di.
vision No. IL. Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, offered the following, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolced, That the meeting heartily iniorses
the action taken by the Chicago, Burlington 8
Quincy men IN refusing 10 declare the strike OF
on the conditions offered.
The conditions referred to above are
those which are now being circulated
among the members of the Brotherhood
by Hoge and Mdphy. and which are, in
the main, as follows: That NO men shall
be blacklisted; that the company shall
take back such men and as many as it
may elect. That for the next two years
the company shall employ the late strikers
in preference to other men. and that it
shall give letters Of recommendation to
such men as it can not give employment.
The BrotherhoOds construe this propose
ton as meaning that the company can
stop after taking back one or a dozen men
and that the great mass Of the strikers will
not be benefited in the least by the accept.
ance of such a proposition.
Il was unanimously resolved by the
meeting that company be compelled to
take back all of the men who went out on
the strike or none. This means that the
situation to-day is exactly as it was
February -.
One of the objects Of this meeting was to
arrange matters financial pertaining to
the strike. 1t has been claimed by many
that the Brotherhood treasury was de.
pleted. and that the Eastern men were in
favor Of declaring the strike OF in order
that the assessments for the support of the
strikers might be discontinued. 1t was
stated positively by the press committee Of
the Brotherhood that the Eastern men are
heartily in favor Of the continuance of the
strike, and sufficient finances were ar.
ranged for to carry the strikers until such
time when the four organizations will be
federated.
The federation plan was indorsed by the
meeting. and it is quite certain that in less
than four months the scheme will be in
force. Each of the four Brotherhoods will
hold conventions rs follows: Brotherhood
of Engineers, at Richmond. Va, in Octo.
Der; Brotherhood of Firemen, at At.
lanta, Ca. in September: the Switchmen,
ut st. Louis in September; Brotherhood
Of Brakemen, at Columbus, O., in Octo.
Der. The first convention will adopt Q
federation clause in its constitution which
will be accepted by the other conventions.

he had chill, but by rubbing his limbs and
getting the circulation started he soon

when they strike the old well it may

instantly. He asked about his stock and
wanted to know who was attending to
them. When asked If he would like for
them to put q pipe to him in the old well
for conveying food and water to him, he
said it was too risky and was unwilling to
take such chances for few Injuries.
