A FAMILY QUARREL.
4 Sensational Domestic Incident at a
Prominent Chicago Hotel.

CHICAGO, Aug. "a woman's wild cries
of murder as she rushed franIieally through
the halls of the Palmer House yesterday
led to the unearthing of a sad sensational
story of domestic life. Those who re-
sponded to the wOman's cries for help found
in her room second woman, young and
beautiful, stretched at full length upon the
floor, where, in a disheveled shape, she lay
convulsively sobbing, while dark. swaIthy,
determined-loOking man stod at one end of
the room. The man was w. II. Cooley OF
New Orleans, and the young woman his
bride of less than year. The other woman
was her mother, Mrs. Sara Casey of Coving-
ton, by. Cooley is nephew of Judge Cooley
of Michigan, Chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, His father and
grandfather were both among the ablest

Ical quarrel, Rhett being then edItcr OF tue
New Orleans Picayune,
Cooley was married last November He
came to Chicago a few months ago armed
with recommendations from prominent
Southern politicians, and pet!tioned for a
place on the Worlds Fair staff. The couple
rented handsome apartments, sumptuously
furnished. Failing TO secure the desired
appointment, and his funds running low,
lie began to pawn his wifes iewelry. His
expensive establishment was given up, and
the family took rooms at the Palmer
House. His mother-iu-law and wife assert
that the failure of the latter to give him
money caused him TO cruelty abuse her
Mrs. MauSey has secretly encouraged the
wife 10 leave her husband. The husband
asserts that the quarrel was not caused by
the refusal Of his wife to give him money,
but, on the contrary, his wife and mother
ln-law have been insulting a young lady

once engaged to marry, and their taunts
became unbearable.

THE GERMAN COMPANY.


ODER so1daten Freund" Played Before
Large Audience.
The Won Ser-GirnotcnmedyQ QiteraIIy, n
drollery with songs in five acts, called ."The
Soldiers Friend" drew large audience to
the Baldwin, last evening. The principal
part was that of Rieze, an old friend Of
Bieleteld, cigar-maker, assumed by Mr..
Max Laurence who, as usual, kept the
audience laughing by his clever acting.
Benno Hirsch played BieIefeld. Richard
Wirth, who appeared as First Lieutenant
Dedo Won Wingen must have belonged te
corps different from that of his fellow
officer, as their uniforms did not agree.
Some capital low comedy business
must be credited TO Albert Fischer, who
sustained the role of Lampe, the soldier
servant of the Lieutenants. Miss Martha
Newman. although cast for Emma, was not
on the stage, as she has been suffering from
illness. Her part was taken by Miss Emma
Meyer, who sang a pretty waltz in the first
act. The piece generally was well played,
but did not seem TO afford as much satisfac-
ton as the FIRST and second programmes.
MI August HinrichS, the leader OF the or
chestra, or the capellmeister, as the Ger.
mans prefer to call hin, has been at some
pains to arrange the music for these 'farces
with songs" but he fills the bill with his
usual sense of responsibility. Next Sunday
evening, Sehonthau's "Le,zte Wort" (The
Last Word).

THE DUELLO.
Two Colonels of the Mexican Army Fight
With Swords

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 9-The following ad-
vices from the City of Mexico are received:
A duel was fought at Piedad. near here,
Thursday morning, between Colonels Fran
cisco Nevoa and Manuel Blaneo. The duel
was brought about by dispute, the two
Colonies using language of the harshest ma
ture. Nevoa had for seconds General
Flores and Colonel Rodrigo Valdes, and
Blanco was supported by Deputies Francie
Romero and Antonio Tovar, the author of
the dueling code of Mexico. The arms
chosen were swords, and according to report
was to have been duel to the DEATH The
assaults made after the signal for the attack
was given were ten. Blanco was wounded
in the Tight arm, in the throat and was laid
out by thrust in the liver, giving up after,
3eing so weak that he could not stand up.
Nevoa had several scratches, none, how
ever, worth mentioning. In view of the
fact that President Diaz forbade dueling in
the army by a special decree some months
ago, ii Is probable that the Colonels will be
PLACED under arrest and punished.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 9.-Those who
have lived twenty-five years in the Rio

misery among the Mexican population as
this year. The staple crop is corn and
Mexican frijole. but the drouth has been
terrible, and for the last eighteen months
scarcely anything has been raised and the
stock have died by thousands. Many men
who years ago were considered well off have
nothing left but their lands. Hundreds of
laboring men have left for the from

cold northers come on, there will be but
little for cattle to live ON through winter,
and many families will suffer for the neces-
