EXPLORER STANLEY
And His wife Separate -Thcy Agree Simply

to Disagree. E6
LuzERNE, July 10-The famous Afri-
can explorer, Henry NJ. Stanley, is now
stopping at Murren. Ifhe goes to the
Engadine again he will have achance to
examine a family of dwarfs who are just
as small and ugly as the race Of Pigmies
found in Africa. These came from
shannaun and are now being exhibited
at Chur, in the Canton OF Grisons.
The suggestion OF the dwarfs and the
association they bring up of the name
OF Stanley calls to mind q rumor which
seems to come from a reliable source,
that the famous traveller and his wife,
formerly Miss Dorothy Tenant, have
separated. He left London about fort
night ago and, after going to Paris, came
here. He eproposes to extend his tripto
Australia, where he will remain several
months. AS it has been already an
nounced that his wife would not accom-
pany him, but would stay in London,
It is probable that they desire to attract
as little attention as possible to their
separation. .s.z.z....
the positive nature Of both husband
and wife, which owing to the many
years they lived alone, renders 1t diff
cult for them to conform to their pecu-
liar views Of each other.

LOUISVILLE, July 10.-A bloody duel
took place on the crowded street be-
tween two colored men, which resulted
in the instant death of one Of and the
fatal wounding Of the other.
1t was almost q miracle that none Of
the throng OF passers-by were injured.
Socrates Fox and Seymour Thompson
we're the combatants. Fox was stand-
ing at the corner of Tenth and Jefferson
streets when Thompson came by and
stepped on his foot. When Fox remon.
strated, Thompson drew n pistol and
fired five shots, emptying his revolver.
One shot struck Fox in the arm and an
other shattered the left thigh.
Fox fell, but raising himself to sit
ting position he shot three times at his
enemy, every bullet taking effect, and
any one of which would have proved
fatal. One ball penetrated the abdomen,
another the breast and the third pene-
trated the brain.
