which made the exhibition grounds almost as

A deadly duel occurred a few days since in
Jackson County, Ala, that resulted in the
death of one of the participants. Two far
mer neighbors living at some distance from
Scotsboro named J. D. Prince and J. T. Green.
quarreled over some trivial mater, and
Green threatened to kill Prince, and he pre-
pared himself with shotgun. On the fol-
lowing morning the two men met in a public
road and Immediately dismounted from their
horses and resumed the quarrel. They finally
decided to fight it out, and Green made for
Prince with q large dirk, making a vicious
plunge at him. Prince lodged and seized
Green's arm and the deadly struggle began.
Pierce's gun was leaning against the fence,
and the question with him was how to get it
before he was killed. With sudden effort
he tripped Green, throwing him to the
ground, and Immediately made break for
his gun, which he reached just as Green was
in striking distance. Without leveling the
gun, Prince thrust the muzzle against his en-
ragged enemy, pulled the trigger, and lodged
a heavy load of buckshoG in his breast, kill
ing him instantly. Prince gave himself up,
and was taken to Scotsbo-o jail.

FURIOUS FOREST FIRES.
Great Destruction Of Property
i'm Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Many Country Residences Near
Duluth Burned.

Furious forest fires have been raging III
northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.
and an immense amount OF damage has been
done. For miles on three sides of Duluth the
fire ragged, and many country residences were
burned On the Germantown road near
Duluth every dwelling for four miles was de-
stroyed. 1t was feared that some lives had
been lest, as incoming farmers reported
vast sea of ire sweeping everything beforeit.
A high wind blew which made it impossi
bic for any Roadway to be made against the
fire. It had simply to burn until there was
nothing more for it to destroy. Several
houses We're burned near Spirit Lake. a
large number Of telegraph poles were burned
and communication was interferred with.
In some places, too, ties ON the track burned
out, making it dangerous to move trains.
South of Ashland, Wis, foc 80 miles the
forests were ablaze On the Fond-du-Lac In
dian reservation moro than $40, 900 worth of
skidded logs were burned. Other losses ag-
gregating so, 900 also occurred on the reser-
vation Cumberland, Wis, was almost sur
rounded by fire. The losses aggregate $40
COO
North of Grantsburg, Wis, the fire swept
the country, destroying everything in its
path Along the Northern Pacific in the
neighborhood Of Cromwell the Tanarack
forests were on fire. Near Hinckley, Mimi,
Thomas Campbell and Ernest Lowell were
surrounded by fire, and finally their camp
outfit was burned about them. They took
refuge on half an acre Of plowed ground,
but were fatally burned. -Four yoke of cat
tie perished
a heavy rain for few minutes in the vi
entity of Duluth cleared the atmosphere of
the heavy smoke and checked somewhat the
forest fires in that neighborhood, but the
shower was local and the fires in most direc-
tons continued to rage. A lumberman who
arrived from Ashland, Mimi, on the North
ern Pacific Railroad, said there was but little
rain there and it did no good Near Carlton
Station, Wis, the house, barn and entire
plants of the brick yard OF f. a. 'Apygar were
burned.
Superintendent Green, of the Northern
Tactic, reports little rain, and the country
covered with smoke from the burn
ing woods. An engineer on the
night train ON the st. Paul and Duluth
Railroad says that ON the run from Mis-
sion Greek to Duluth, sixty miles, there was
no need of a headlight, the tracks being
lighted up by the flames.
The damage to settlers and farmers and to
lumbermen will be great. a great deal Of
stock is destroyed. Several lumber camps

NewSy Dispatches Describing
Some Important Events.
First Celebration Of Arbor Day in
the Empire State.

Arbor Day has been celebrated in the pub
lie schools of New York for the first time
Thousands of pupils in more than 222 schools
Joined in the exercises of song and recitation.
The circular issued by the State Superinten-
dent Of Public Schools, A. S. Draper, ex-
Mains the object of the day set apart by the
legislature as follows: THE primary pur-
pose Of the Legislature in establishing Arbor
Day was TO develop and stimulate in the chill
dren of the commonwealth love and rever-
ence for nature as revealed in trees and
shrubs and flowers In the language of the
statute to encourage the planting, protection
and preservation OF trees and shrubs was be-
ieved to be the most efectual way in which
to lead our children to love nature and rev.
erence natures God, and to see the uses to
which these natural objects may be put in
making our school grounds more healthful
and attractive"
In New York city the school exercises were
not as elaborate as the programme issued by
the Superintendent Of Public Instruction
called for. This was owing to the day coming
so soon after the Centennial celebration. The
first portion of the programme, the planting
Of trees i'll the schOolyards, was necessarily
omitted downtown, but in some of the schools
in the Annexed district was carried out to the
letter The musical and literary portion was
observed in all the schools with songs and reel
tatlOnS.
With the exception OF the Prospect Park
exercises there was nothing Of a public char
acter to mark ArbOr Day in Brooklyn. In
Prospect Park an elm tree was planted at Bat
tie Pass by the venerable James S. T. Strana-
han, who for many years managed the De
partment Of Parks The boys and girls of
Public School No. and other schools near the
park took part in the exercises Postmaster
Joseph c. Hendrix delivered an address and
brief speeches were made by several other
citizens.
Arbor Day was observed very generally
on Long Island. At many places trees were
planted and there were public exercises. Az
3reslau the teachers Of the Public School
planted tree and the tender shoot was
named The Washington" in commemora-
ton of the Centennial.
Throughout other parts of the State the
day was appropriately celebrated by the
planting of trees and shrubs and by exercises
in many of the public schools. The State
will be the gamer by many thousands Of
trees and the first celebration Of Arbor Day
in New York is conceded to have been
great success.
Arbor Day is now observed in thirty-four
States and two Territories
