A Duel to enc neath.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. April 2S.-A
deadly duel occurred yesterday in jack
son county, Alabama, which resulted in
the death of one of the participants. Two
farmers, neighbors, living some distance
from Scottsboro, named ]. T.
Prince and J. 7. Green, quarrelled on
Friday over some trivial matter,
and Green threatened to kill Prince, and
he prepared himself with shotgun. On
Saturday morning the two men met
in the public road and Immediately de-
cided to fight it out. Green made for
Prince with large dirk making q vicious
plunge at him. Prince lodged and
seized Green's arm and the deadly
struggle began in earnest. Princes gun
was leaning against the fence, and the
question with him was how to get it bet
fore he was killed. With sudden effort
he tripped Green, throwing him to the
ground and Immediately made a break
for his gun, which he reached just as
Green was in striking distance. Without
levelling the gun, Prince thrust the muz-
zle against his enemy's breast, pulled the
trigger, and lodged a heavy load of buck
shot in his breast, killing him instantly.
Prince gave himself up, and is now in
Jail to await trial.

The hegira of Americans to the Paris
Exposition threatens serious conse-
quences to the prevailing dialect now in
use IL the United States. tbs estimated
that over one hundred thousand Yengees
will pass the major part of the coming
summer in the gay capital. While there,
they will all become 80 thoroughly con-
versant with French, and so used to it Gas
she is spoken in Paree," that they will
hardly be able TO make themselves un-
derstood in the mother tongue when they
return home. Nothing but pure Partisan
will fall from their lips, and as this
linguistic leaven will spread among their
admirers here, there is no telling where
the new rage will stop. Ii it should make
such headway as to endanger the
supremacy of the English tongue,
there may ultimately be evolved
ont OF the transition new dialect that
will be neither French nor English, but
"Americaine." 1t is to be hoped that
the new language will be an improve
ment on the negro o-French of Louisiana.
OF courte the English words that will be
retained will be given French twang,
go to speak, and the French words will
be marked by strong American accent.
The Volapukian blending will probably
be something after this fashion
.'Bonchewer, Dnong fren; despair qyou-
oyou porter beans c'matiD." 1t is said
that Ward McAllister's Four Hundred
have taken the initiative in naturalizing
French by speaking nothing else in all
their conversations anent the Centen-
nial. We are assured that it is high
treason to use the name of the Father OF
His Country with w. Washington" is
the correct fad. There is no doubt that the
pilgrims to the Paris Exposition will be
far more successful with their French
when they return from the gay Capita
han they we're in speaking it on the
Place de la Concorde, or in the shops OF
the Rue st. Honore. Their accent will be
much softer whom they get home than it
was before. j

In New York Inspector Byrnes, when
he thinks the public safely justifies it,
gathers in all the bunco sharpers, pick
pockets and other crooks, and puts them
into the city coolers, where they must re-
main until the emergency is over. He
has, for several days, been arresting
these gentry, as to prevent them from
plying their vocation among the crowds
that will be drawn to New York to wit
ness the centennial of Washington's in
auguration. If any Chief of Police at
tempted to summarily Jail the buncc
"sharps" of Los Angeles, be would find
himself confronted with all sorts of court
writs, and be compelled to carry each
case before an examining magistrate,
who wonld give the presumptuous Chiel
q splendid illustration of the laws delay.

Cannot Connect.

The Police Department is complaining
OF the recent orders of the Coancil to the
effect that bills for telephone service tc
points outside of the city would not be
paid. Yesterday it became necessary to
send message to the man vino buries
dead animals and the Telephone Com
pany would not make the connection and
stated that number thirty, the Police
Station, would not hereafter be given
any connection with lines outside the
city. This state of affairs is very likely
to lead to the escape of some one who
has committed crime. A criminal might
easily go to Pasadena or some other place
and no message could be sent to the
officers there.

A "PICAYUNE" exps tiates in New Or
leans about what ''bit" did in California
during the gala days of this State. Both
q "picayune" and "bit' would be an
enormously exaggerated estimate of the
value of Lower California to the United
States. The Tribune's Santa Clara
placers and mythical quartz mines are
not only worth neither "picayune" nor
a "bit"-they are worth less than moth
ing, but they represent the pain, loss
and ruin which many well-meaning
people have experienced through the
sscapping" of this unprincipled sheet.
As an annexation proposition the thing
is not worthy of attention, because Gen.
Vandever last year failed to secure
second to his Quixotic pro-
gramme,, and his experience the coming
session will be quite as disheartening.
The Am erican people are neithtr fakirs
nor fools, and they propose to leave the
International Company and the Tribune
pigging together in the same truckle-
bed which, as it will be located in Lower
California, will even be without straw.

CRIMINAL assaults upon little girls have
become alarmingly frequent of late. The
beast who was arrested here Saturday
for this comprehensive crime Jared
better than the wretch who made the at
tempt at San Bernardino yesterday. In
the latter case the mother did not wait
for the punishment of the ravisher by
due course of law; but as soon as she
satisfied herself of the fact and of the
guilt of the man, she sought him out and
shot him dead. Such swift retribution
should act as a wholesome deterrent
upon crimes of this unspeskably abhcr'
ent character.

The only way in which it could be ascer-
tanned that from sixteen to eighteen
bodies had been taken out was from the
fact that legs and arms, corresponding
to about that number were found. me
remains were taken to the City HosPltal
and placed in the morgue awaiting iden-
tification. An inquest will be held to-
morrow. In all probability it will pe
days before the dead are identlheu'
Some o. the wounded were also taken to

A special train on the Grand Trunk came
in to-day about l 40 P. M, having on

Cured a short distance west of Hamilton
this morning. Among them were four

An Expert,a Views.

An ex.Lord High Sheriff of London,
c. w. @. Hutton, has recently visited
this Coast. To reporter of San Fran
cisco paper he gave his views of Califor-
MIA wines. Here is part of what he said :

wines here as we'll as | do the French
wines in France or the Spanish wines in
Spain, both of which have had consid.

Rieslings, clarets and white wines, when
reasonably well matured, are excellent
| tasted some Riesling at the Napa
winery in Napa valley which was seven
years old, and l am free to Say / never
tasted any better anywhere. Your ports,
however, are too luscious and lack dry
ness, defect which, ageing them sutfi-
ciently, will overcome. In fact, find
all the native wines on the market here
are too new, containing too much alco-
hol, which has the defect of making them
heavy, producing unpleasant effects,
which would not be the case if they were

The amateur Detective.

CHICAGO. April 28.-All doubt that the
lunatic Robert Burns was murdered by
his attendants, in Cook county insane
asylum, was removed to-day. The
post mortem shows that he had
two ribs broken, his breast bone
smashed, and that he suffered
the injuries, apparently, from kicks.
Burns is the man who was the room
mate at the institution of the Times re-
porter, who had gained access to the
asylum by feigning insanity. The Times
man repeated that he saw the atten-
dants as they, through sheer brutality,
attacked not only Burns, but number
of others. Three of the attendants are
under surveillance and will probably be
arrested before morning.

Two Field Fires,

Sparks from passing locomotives
created two fires along the line of the
Los Angeles and Pacific Railroad yester-
day afternoon. The first blaze WAS near
Wynetka and was soon extinguished, but
the second one was only q mile or SO be-
low Clearwater, and was right in the
heart Of the spreading hayfelds there.
1t was feared at one time that the fire
would be serious one, but all hands in
the vicinity turned in and succeeded in
extinguishing it without much damage
being done. .

into town and surrendered to the Sheriff,
stating that he had killed Matt illegal
at Abele Ranch. Wohlfrom and illegal
had broken a buggy belonging to Dan
Bemmerly, but Wohlfrom claims to

yesterday morning went to Blacks
Station to try and induce illegal to pay

well kept and aged, previous to market
ing.
''In my opinion, the greatest defect Of
the California producers and dealers is
the lack OF moral courage that allows
their wines to be shipped under false la
bells, French labels for instance. Much
of your wine is shipped to foreign coun-
tries under labels and brands of a wine
that is really of an inferior quality. The
only way for California to introduce her
wines in England they are rarely met
with there now, at least under their res
pective California labels,-is to secure
honest representatives and dealers there
to handle them strictly on their own mer-
| its. California wines have been mixed
with French wines of a much inferior
grade, until there is prejudice in Great
Britain that will take years of honest ef-
fort and free use OF printers ink and
push to overcome. The Colonies met
with the same obstacles, which they in a
measure, by these means, have over
come. They are rapidly building up a
demand for their wines in England, and
will prove formidable rivals to California
in that direction.
GAS member of the wine commit
tees in several London clubs, 1 tnd
wine-drinking in the clubs on the de.
crease, brandies and other spirits taking
their place. As good wines command 9
rather high figure. comparatively speak
| ing, this is rather matter of economy
If you can guarantee sea transit for your
wines, and then place them on the mar
ket at moderate price per gallon, there
is grand market awaiting them in Eng
land, once you succeed in removing the
prejudice now prevailing against then
there. This can only be done by prop
erly ageing and labelling, and by having
honest dealers who are directly inter
ested in their success to handle them
Then let them stand squarely on thei
own merits and they will win."
The HERALD hes always strongly
repro bated the labelling of Californil
wines as French brands. The extent tt
which this fraudulent business has beer
carried on in San Francisco, under tn,
very nose of the public, and in defanc,
of the best interests of the California
wine producers, is astonishing. French
bottles, French labels, and French cork
are imported to render the fraud SUCCESS
full, and the California wines thus put VI
are drunk in all parts of the country a
French wines, and accepted by the con
sumers as such without suspicion. When
ever our wines are fairly dealt by, ant
put upon the market on their own meri
and with their own labels, then will the,
grow in demand and popularity and in
crease in value. The time will CON,
when this great industry will be stron
enough to take its own part and to de
fend itself from the swindle which i
now perpetrated upon it so extensively
aud which is injuring every wine pro
ducer in the State to an extent that i
almost beyond calculation. That ou
California wines are as good as Frencl
wines is proven by the fact that they ar
drunk as French wines everywhere with
out question. That being the case, ou
vintages should receive the credit whici
Justly belongs to them, and our pro
ducers the profits to which they ar
fairly entitled for superior article.
