IN the same ruthless way She sacrificed

A PROSPECTIVE DUEL.
Lieutenant George N. Harries
Calls DIR. I. S. Verdi,
Baron Fava's Confident, Liar and a Coward
and is Ready to Accept any Sugges.
ton sa to Time and Weapons.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-A duel at the
capital may be one of the sequels of the
Italian incident. Lieutenant George H.
Harries is out with singing personal let
ter to DR.. t. S. Verdi, the close personal
associate of Baron Fava, in which Verdi is
denounced as liar and coward. 1t will
be recalled that when the Italian furry
was at its height Baron Fava was mac
cessable to the press. DR.. Verdi was with
him much of the time, and the doctors in
tervlews were taken to represent the
baron's sentiments. One of the interviews
was secured by Lieutenant Harries, adiu-
tant of the District National guard, who is
journalist of high standing. Verdi cues
toned the accuracy of the interview and
finally sent a letter to the New York
Tribune fatty denying the language Harries
attributed to him. Verdi added the gratui
uous statement that reporters were a new
species OF animal which anthropologists
had not yet been able TO definen
Lieutenant HarrieS now answers in a
scorching personal letter. He SAYS: "For
two weeks past you have been circulating
loose-lointed and negative assertions of
misrepresentation, assertions to which
paid no attention, but you have at last
stated fatty that the interview published
on the 1st instant, is false, and l, in reply,
declare most emphatically that the oniy
apparent difference between Ananias and
yourself lies in the fact that Ananias is
dead. Your denial, in warp, wool, fibre
and finish, is plain, unadorned lie, not the
semi-excusable falsehood of brave man.
who denies to shield somebody else, but the
lie of a coward, of one whose sentiments
are stronger than their creator. The inter
view you now complain of is a literal and
absolute fact, and you know it to be sou
Harries is fighter who has son in the
Indian service in the far west. If Baron
Fava's confident does not like the words
''liar' and coward" Harries is under
stood to be ready to accept any suggestions
Verdi may make as to time and weapons.

Governor Pattison Asked for Troops.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 1S.-The out
breaks of rioters at Leisenring, Kyle and
Leith to-day, in which was demonstrated
the weakness of the civil authority in the
face of such mobs as committed depreda-

mick to do what he had done his best to
avoid, calling on Governor Pattlson for
military aid. The adjutant general is in
vestigatlng. Excitement is at high pitch
over the prospect of ordering out the mill
tia, but 1t is the universal sentiment that it
is the only safe thing to do.
