DAMAGED BY COLLISION.
The Ship Sea King Run Into by an Iron

The Ship Sea King Run Into by an Iron
French Ship.
The ship Sea King, CAPTAIN Getchell, ar
rived in port last evening after passage of
SO days from Pisagua, in ballast, and went
direct to Sausalito 1t is understood that
the reason she went to Sausalito was that
sine has but one anchor, the other anchors
having been lost somewhere on the South
American coast. 1t is not known here eX-
actly how the anchors were lost, but it is
known that Captain Adams of the ship
Renee, which has the same owners as the
Sea King, went down to Pisagua last July
to settle some difficulty in which the Sea
King had been involved.
The ship left here on January 2. 1889, for
Port Discovery, and loaded there with lum-
Der for Iquique. intending to load there
with nitrate for this port. She did not load
as intended, and it is understood that she
was in some trouble down there and was
held by the authorities until she Slipped her
cables and put to sea.
All the report the captain makes is as fol
lows: WAS run into by a French iron ship
and had fore and miZzen topgallant masts
carried away; also main royal mast and Jlb-
boom. The fore and mizzen masts were
sprung. We also lost one anchor and sus-
tanned other damage" The captain does
not state where the accident occurred.

4 FATAL MEETING.
A DUEL AT SULPHUR SPRINGS.
E. S. MOORE DEAD.
r. NJ. Tate Wounded-ResuIt of u Bitter
Newspaper Gontroversy-Much Fy-
element Prevails.



SULPHUR SPRINGS, HoPKIXs County,
TEx.. Sept. 1.-THE expected has hap
pened. The newspaper pellets which L. S.
Moore, editor of the Alliance Eindicator,
and L. Nj. Tate. editor of the Echo, have
been firing at each other We're this morning
changed into leaden missiles, and Mr..
Moore has lust been carried home limp and
courthouse and blood dripping from his
wrist, where a slight wound was inflicted
by 4 small pistol in the hands OF Moore.
The readers of The GAZETTE are familiar
with the details of the controversy which
led to the shooting, and il is unnecessary to
review them here. Suffice it TO say that it
is the result of a bitter aud personal news
paper war.
The belligerents met this morning he
tween the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock on the
south SIDE of the square, and parties who
saw them. of course, differ as to which
party struck the first blow or fired the first
shot, ana now the excitement is so high
it is utterly impossible TO give a correct
report. However, one gentleman who was
quietly sitting in chair near by, says the
parties met near HIM, and told your re-
porter, that the two men, before he knew
that fight was imminent, began sparring
at each other with their fists They passed
several licks. and Moore, who is q smaller
man than Tate, sprang from the side
walk and made demonstrations towards
drawing Il pistol. The interviewed party
says he thought he knew what was coming
then and sprang inside convenient door
way. As he did so the firing opened and
Moore sank to his knees. But he was I'M
conquered and continued to fire on Tate,
who was advancing, firing as he did So
Tate emptied his pistol, a 44-Colt's, while
Moore used 4 tS-Smith & Wesson, and one
barrel failed TO fire
Moore was taken possession of by careful
hands, who carried HIM to near drug
store aud summoned medical aid
Tate was Invested Of his weapon and es-
corted 10 the sheriff's Office.
1t is difficult TO say how seriously
wounded MIR. Moore is, as a physicians
opinion can not now be obtained. He has
four wounds, two near the right breast, one
IL the right groin, one i'll the left ankle.
Parties who saw the fight say both men
were cool, and displayed the best of cour-
age.
1t will be remembered that Tate is editor
OF Democratic paper. and Moore is the
editor OF labor or third party publication,
aud whether the difficulty will terminate
here, either in the event of Moore'S death
or recovery, no one knows.
Tate waived examination before Justice
Crabtree, and was placed under 5000
bond for his appearance Ut district court
next month

The Cars Back.

The penalties OF being an absolute
ruler are well Illustrated in a story 81
the Emperor Nicholas OF Russia
which was recently related by Prince
Bismarck. II emphasizes the familiar
saying that the government Of Russia
is IAN absolute despotism tempered
by assassination
At one time, the story goes, the
Emperor Nicholas's physicians, to re-
lieve him OF some bodily suffering, or
dcred that his back should be rubbed
thoroughly every day.
The Emperor neglected TO take
steps to have the injunction carried
out, and the doctors insisted. The
Emperor then wrote letter to King
Frederick William Of Prussia, asking
him to send to st. Petersburg three
or four non-commissioned officer OF
the Prussian Royal Guard to perform
the service required by the physi-
clans
King Frederick William promptly
detailed four stalwart non-Commissi-
oned officers OF his guard to go to st.
Petersburg to rub the back of the
Russian Emperor.
They performed the service faith,
fully, and the Emperor recovered
from the malady. When Mt last the
men returned to the regiment, they

The fault, however, was not all with

In cities, it is only here and there
one who makes a brilliant success.
Where one makes a great record thou
sands remain in obscurity or die in the
desperate struggle for life which is
constantly going on. On the farm any
young man of industry and good habits
is sure of competence and position of
influence among his neighbors. His
children have fair opportunities to
learn what is taught in schools, and
little opportunity to learn the vices
which plant themselves on every corner
in the large cities. Health, compet-
ence and good social position is at the
command of every one in the country.
In cities, few reach the higher grades,
and then only after a struggle which
costs more than the prize is worth.
