A Housewife FOR A LOVER.
Christian Haas Of Trenton Lashed BY q
Young Woman He Annoyed.

The ardent attentions OF Christian Haas OF
Trenton, Nj, to Miss Annie Cordes, a younger
sister of his dead wife, resulted in his being
horsewhipped by the young woman. He in
turn prevented his face and neck from being
badly striped by attempting to choke his fair
assaiiant. Haas is . decorator, making good
wages. His wife year ago committed suicide,
leaving three motherless children Miss Annie
Cordes, her younger sister. became the foster
mother of the children. Haas at once began to
make declarations of love to her. She bluntly
told him she had no regard for him, and
wanted him to let her alone. He persistently
haunted her, however. and Swallowed the
house in which she lives. Annie finally COM
planned 10 the police and Haas promised to
stop annoying the girl.
Lately he has been sending her letters, and
receiving no answers from them, he has been
chalking tender sentiments on the front pave
ment. Tuesday night he went to Miss Cordes'
house and entreated her to elope with him
Miss Cordes had provided herself with horse
whip at the suggestion of her friends She
ordered Haas away, but he refused to 60. Then
she drew her whip and dashed him about the
face and neck. Haas caught her by the throat
and punched her face. Two men who wit
nessefthe affair ran to the girls assistance.
and Haas was handed over to the police. and
is now'locked up for committing atrocious as
sault and battery. Miss Cordes' face il badly
bruised from the blows.

BATTLING WITH A STALLION.
Harvey Smith Kills the Brute with One
Blow of a Sled Stake.

Harvey A. Smith had a desperate battle at
Presque Island, Me-, with stallion yesterday.
The stallion il dead and Smith still lives, but
is in q sadly crippled condition. During last
winter he drove team in the lumber woods,
OF which one animal was stallion that no one
but Smith could handle. This summer he has
worked the stallion and his mate on the farm.
Yesterday the stallion became vicious and
frantically attacked his mate with teeth and
hoofs Mr.. Smith uncoupled the horses, when
the stallion attacked him. He is powerful
and very resoiute man. and after . fierce
struggle. In which he was severely wounded in
the hip by the animals feet he succeeded in
subdulng the horse and leading him to the
barn. He hitched him on the barn floor,
removed the harness and was proceeding to
take him to stall when the vicious animal
again attacked him. The wind blew the barn
door shut and Mr.. Smith found himself impris-
oned with the frantic brute.
For nearly half all honr he fought him with
no weapon out his fists, but being often knocked
down and fearfully bruised he found his
strength failing and was Just making up his
mind that 1t was all up with him, when the
horse disengaged sled stake from the side o,
the NOW and smith saw it rolling toward him.
Selling the stake he swung il with all the
strength OF desperation, and, striking the
ataliion behind the ear, no laid him dead al
his feet

CHALLENGED BY HIS SECRETARY
Count Dcym, the Austrian Ambassadors
20 England, Refuses to Fight.

There 10 great stir in social and diplomatic
circles in consequence of . violent dispute be-
tween Count Deym, the Austrian ambassador
10 the court of st. James, and his honorary
secretary, another count Of noble Austrian
family. No names have yet been published.
but il is known throughout society that there
10 lady in the case and that she IL OF the high
est standing socially. Count Deym was 20 pro-
voked with his secretary that last week he
omitted his name from the list Of invitations to
the official reception. The result was quarrel
at the embassy, in which insulting remarks
were passed and which would have eliminated
in blows but for the interference Of others.
The secretary has resigned in order to be
able to challenge Count Doym TO = duel, to be
fought in Austria He sent the challenge on
Monday and has given Count Deym q fortnight
In which to consider the matter. The ambassa-
dor has declined to accept the challenge, CIV
ing extreme i'll health as a reason and accom-
panying his refusal by a doctors certificate.
The ambassador is sure to be condemned for
his action in Austria according to the code
Of honor in that country he should have
fought.
The affair is the talk Of the clubs in London
and the most strenuous efforts are being made
to keep the name Of the lady in the case from
publicity

yard in Halifax states that the Canadian cruiser
Wakeham had been sent to the scene of the
wreck, but, though we'll armed. her officers and
crew failed to drive off the wrsckers. who,
numbering as they do nearly one hundred des-
perate mon, are exceedingly bold, and simply
laughed at the commander Of the Wakeham
when ordered to leave the wreck. The liberty
the ship was to sail at aylght today. Her crew
numbers 1872 men.
