BOTH SHOT TO KILL.
The WilIiamsOn-Calho Duel and
Its Bloodless Termination.

Its Bloodless Termination.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 12.-The
duel between J. D. Williamson and
Patrick Calhoun took place about twenty
miles west of Rome, Ga, on the Rome
& Decatur railroad, very near, if not
upon sthe state line Of Alabama and
Georgia. The duelists were placed in
position twelve PAGES apart in dense
timber. and at 7:30 o'clock, when it was
just dark, the order to fire five shots in
rapid succession was given, and stimuli
taneously both pistols went off. Will
hanson, in a jiffy, emptied his
revolver, but Calhoun discharged
only one shot, being unable
to handle the weapon. The pistols
were IS caliber, hammerless, Self-acting
Smith & Wesson. Neither one was hit,
and Calhoun then commenced to parley
with Williamson, telling him that he
had four balls which he had right to
shoot. He said he did not want to kill
his opponent. and if he would retract he
would fire his pistol in the air. William
son claimed the right to have his pistol
reloaded, but this was not agreed to by
the seconds. He said he would die in
his tracks before he would retract, I'M
less Calhoun would hrSt Withdraw his
offensive language. After some
parleying, during which Williamson re-
quested Calhoun to fire. as he wanted
his gun reloaded, Calhoun stated that
he had no intention of rejecting per-
sonally upon Williamson in his speech
before the legislative committee. After
this statement Williamson withdrew
his epithet, and the gun was fired into
space and the principals shook hands.
The seconds drew up formal papers
stating that the quarrel had been hon
orably adjusted, and peace reigned SUI
preme. Why neither of the principals
were bit is remarkable, both men being
good shots. 1t can probably be account
ed for by the fact that it was dark and
that the outlines of each were barely
visible. There is no question that both
shot to kill.

With the kaiser.

With the Kaiser.
BERLIN, Aug. 12.-Emperor Francis
Joseph arrived here to-day. The en-
peror was met at the station by En-
peror William, Prince Henry and Prince
Bismarck. The weather was fine. The
Imperial party took carriages and drove
to the castle by way of the Thlergarten
al Inter den Linden. Troops were
stationed along the route from the sta
ton to the castle. The houses were
decorated with flags and bunting. Large
crowds assembled along the route and
cheered the emperorS as they passed.
Statutes were fired by the artillery in
honor of the emperor of Austria. Among
the other distinguished persons who
met Emperor Francis Joseph at the
railway station were Count Herbert

cordial character. After Francis
Joseph and Prince Henry had ex-
changed salutations the imperial visitor
shook hands with Prince Bismarck.
Upon arriving at the palace the
Austrian emperor was welcomed by
Empress Augusta and eX-Empress
Frederick. The ReichsanZeiger, in an
especially prominent article, welcomed
Emperor Francis Joseph on behalf of

North German Gazette says the visit of
the Austrian emperor will further in

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 12.-In the
convention to-day the committee on
suffrage reported back without recon-
mendation the proposition to submit
woman suffrage as separate PROPOSE
ton. Kennedy moved to lay the re-
port apon the table. The motion was

amended to read that the temporary
capital shall remain at Helena until
such election takes place. Thus Helena
remains the capital until the election
of 1892.

A Kentucky Outlaw Shot by a
BADGER Farmer.

as soon as Bowman discovered the sher-

dental shooting. Irish is good citizen,

AMOUNTS TO AN ALLIANCE.
The Agreement Between England
and Germany Defined.


LONDON, Aug. 12.-AccOrding to the
National Zetung of Berlin, which
claims to have positive information on
the subject, the agreement reached at
the recent conference between Emperor
William and Lord Salisbury, to all in
tents and purposes. amounts to an alli-
ance between Germany and England.
Although no formal treaty was con-
GUIDED a memorandum was drawn up
covering the points upon which an I'M
derStanding was reached; 1t is certain
that this memorandum provides for the
contingency of a wal in which either
nation might become involved, and de-
fines the obligations assumed, in such an
event, by the other. The German press
seems to be quite generally agreed that
so much has been accomplished, and
some well informed newspapers even go
so far as to say that a treaty is in course
of preparation. This, however. is prob
ably incorrect. 1t is not believed here
that Lord Salisbury would undertake to
commit any future government of Eng
land to the programme outlined in such
an agreement, and as the arrangement
will have the force of treaty, so long
as he holds the reins of power, Ger
treaty. The French press is in
a perfect ferment over this whole
business, and the opposition papers are
charging the government with having
driven England into the arms OF Ger
many by their foolish policy of irritat-
ing her, notably in the refusal to sane
ton the Egyptian conversion scheme,
upon which England had set her heart,
and in the repeated protests against
British occupation in Egypt, about
which France need not have cared a
button. Even so conservative an organ
as La France, while upholding the re-
fusal of NJ. Spuller, the foreign minis
ter, to sanction the convention, still
condemns the petty policy of irritation
to which the government resorted in its
treatment of England, land expresses the
fear that such policy may yet drive
the English into the triple alliance.
