BADLY BRUISED.
Boulanger and Floquet Settle
Their Trouble With Swords.
Both Combatants Come Out of
the Fray Wounded.
But the General Carries the
Worst Scar.

PARIS, July l3.-As was expected the
insult offered by Boulanger to Floquet in
the chamber of deputies last evening re-
suited in a duel to-day. The two
gentlemen, attended by their seconds,
met in the vicinity of Paris at 10 o'clock
this morning. Swords were used and
both combatants were wounded. The
duel occurred on Count Dillon's estate, a
short distance from the city. Boulanger
was wounded in the arm and neck. Flo
quet's hand was scratched by Boulanger's
sword. Further than this he was not
touched.
Floquet's colleagues in the ministry
were awaiting at his house for news of the
duel and were overjoyed to see the prime
minister return safe and he was given an
ovation.
A small crowd of Boulanger's followers
We're in front of his house when he reached
his home.
Later details of the duel are to the fol-
lowing effect:
At the second encounter Boulanger
was slightly wounded in the leg, and Flo
quet received a cut on his right hand.
After resting the men renewed the fight
ing for the third time. Boulanger made
a lunge at Floquet's left breast, but only
slightly touched the mark. Boulanger
then received g wound in his throat which
put an end to the encounter. The wound
is a severe one and on account of a
hemorrhage the doctors are unable to
decide whether it is likely to prove seri-
ous.
The duel was fiercely fought. Boulan-
ger tried hard to kill Floquet and threw
himself. upon him again and again.
When Floquet received a wound in his
hand and it began to bleed his second pro-
posed that the fight be discontinued, but
both combatants refused to stop.
The physician who is attending Bou.
LANCER has issued n bulletin regarding his
condition. 1t says there is a deeD wound
in the right side of the generals neck and
that it causes marked difficulty in his
respiration. AT present the doctor is I'M
able to give the condition as to what TURN
the case may take.
The Republican journals in comment.
ing on the discussion in the chamber of
deputies last night between M. Floquet
and Gen. Boulanger say that Gen. Bou-
LANCER has entered upon a plebiscite cam
paign and that the struggle between the
republic and a dictatorship has begun.
Universal suffrage, they say, will do jus
tice to Casarism.
The Ldmeine gives notice that it defn-
itelY sewers all connection with Boulan-
ger.
The conservative organs commend
Gen. Boulanger's attitude and ascribe to
him the honors of yesterday's scene in the
chamber.
There is no doubt that Gen. Boulan-
gers condition is a serious one. Floquet's
sword penetrated to a depth of two inches
between the jugular vein and the carotid
artery, severing the phrenic nerve and i'm
pairinglthe play of the lungs, perhaps ir-
.recoverably. The general slept during
the forenoon under the influence of NOR
phipe.

TIE CAPITOL WINGS,
Contractors Figuring on the plans and
Sp"ecIhcations

The construction of at least one wing
of the capitol will begin in a short time.
but as to whether work is soon to com
mence on both this season cannot be stat
ed at this time, but it probably will.
The capitol commissioners have adyer-
tised for bids for the construction of one
wing, and they will be received by the
secretary of the board up to the 25th of
the present month, and in view of that
fact several OF the Cheyenne contractors
are figuring on the job.
Plans and specifications from which the
contract is to be let and the work done,
have been forwarded to this city by the
original architects. Gibbs & Co. of Tole-
do, o., and they are now accessible at
the Office OF the secretary Of the commits
sion. Other contractors besides those
here in Cheyenne will probably put in
bids for the work. and of course until
after the bids are opened and the contract
awarded, it will 10 be known who will
receive what in these times may be con-
sidered a lucky prize.
AS soon as it is definitely known that
the work is to be begun at a stated time,
it will have a material effect on the bust
ness Interests OF the city, and will have
a tendency to liven things up generally in
Cheyenne.

More Damage Feared.

PITTsBURG, July l3.-Allegheny and
Monongahela valleys were visited by an
other heavy rain last night and the rivers
are again rising at the headwaters. This
has caused some apprehension, but old
river men do not anticipate another flood.
The rivers are still receding here with
eight feet six inches in the channel. 1t
is clear and very cool, the mercury hav-
ing dropped twenty four degrees in a few
hours.
last night was the hardest of all on
the $50 families in Pittsburg who had to
move out of their shanty boats. Their
floating homes were in bad shape yester-
day, and not fit for occupancy. Then the
weather suddenly grew cool and rain
soaked their bed clothes and other goods
piled up along the river bank and in the
yard of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie rail.
road: Many of the women and children
were cared for by neighbors and the men
built fires and passed the night on the
wet ground as best they could.
