THE DUELING CODE
1t is ResOrted to by Members Of
the New York Yacht Club.
A Frenchman Resents slurring Remark
About Relation-A Challenge-The
Men Fight With Cutlasses.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
New YORK, Aug. IA press CORES
pondent at Vineyard Haven, Massachu-
sets. sends the following: If reports here
tonight are true, the dueling code has
been resorted to by members of the great
est yacht club in the country-the New
York-whose feet of vessels now lies at
anchor in this harbor. When the squadron
came to nchor Monday evening the first
scene il very tragic episode was enacted.
On one Of the yachts a merry party sat at
dinner. Champagne flowed freely and
conversation was unrestrained. Amid the
wine; one OF the gentlemen present made
slurring remarks, it is reported, about a
ady. A cousin of hers, French gentle
man, was present His relationship was
not known to the ibeler. Without an in
stant's hesitation he knocked his glib
tongued fellow guest on to the deck. The
man struck is prominent in club and social
life, and is skilled as swordsman, pistol
shot and an athlete. He challenged tho
Frenchman to settle the dispute according
to the CODE and the challenge was ac-
cepted, seconds were chosen, and it was
agreed to go ashore early Tuesday morn
ing and settle the matter by q duel with
swords which were on the yacht. Both
men are experienced swordsmen,
and as cutlasses were the only
weapons at hand they decided to
use them. Next morning they
put ashore at Glen Cove, accompanied by
their seconds. The men were evenly
matched. After a short conflict the
Frenchman threw open his guard and was
terribly injured by his opponent, who cut
into his right shoulder deeply and made
long jagged wound which extended down
his chest. The F'rcnchman tainted several
times while he was being carried to the
boat for conveyance to the yacht Doctors
were summoned from New York and his
wounds were dressed, and to prevent dis
covery of the occurrence he was kept
aboard the yacht, two doctors staying with
him.
The lady in the case is Nine. Marie
Gerard de Burdeau. She has won not q
little distinction aboard as a vocalist. She
is q southern woman of French extraction,
who married Frenchman of some promin-
ence about two years ago. She is well
known in society in Paris as a countess.
She returned to this country about six
months ago, and is now stopping at Mar
ragansett pier. This is thu second duel in
which the Countess de Burdeau has been
the cause of personal meeting.

AN AUSTRIAN BARON
He Goes to Paris and Has Many
Adventures.
HUNTING FOB AN HEIRESS
The Baron Runs Across Duelist and is
wounded-In New York He Is Fleeced
by Dice Tnrowers. z4

Especial 20 THE HERALD-Examiner Dispaton-I
New YORK. Aug 11.-Baron Charles
Greenebaum, the second son OF an Austrian
family of some prominence, came to New
York not many months ago. He was tired
of his life abroad. He was going to settle
down, reform and marry a rich American
wife. He had money in abundance when
he arrived. This is all gone new. Inc
young mans father, Count Greenebaum,
has large estate in Austria. Although
considered wealthy there the family CID
not conduct affairs to suit the second son s
tastes, and several years ago he left nome
for Paris. On first reaching Paris the
baron secured apartments IN the 1asnlon-
able Place de Lapere. He gave series OF
entertainments which stirred the clty's
fashionable circles. He was known as the
.sBlack Prince" For weeks and weeks
were stories of every nature printed OF the
handsome young Austrian. Acqualntances
ripened and the nobleman's money grew
less The baron went to Vienna and re-
manned there for time. On his return he
plunged into the life he had left with re-
newed vigor. His constant companion was
Colonel NJ. K. Coleman, OF California,
famous raconteur who had obtained some
political prominence IN MS own
state 1t was whispered ABOUT Judt
the baron;s income had been decreased,
but that could not be proven. He was
rather fortunate at the races and managed
to keep up appearances. The baron's sec
ond visit to Paris after the hunt was cut
short. His attentions to the daughter OF a
banker at ball excited the wrath of Lieu
tenant Victor Deronolede, nephew OF Paul
Deronolede. - duel was the result. Both
men were wounded, and had it not been for
the decided stand taken by the baron's sec
ond, Colonel Coleman, it would have con-
tlnued until one or the other was killed.
Lieutenant Deronolede is now In this
country, but Baron Greenebaum decided to
take trip to the United States. Only one
week before he sailed he gave 1t out to
some of his friends that he was tired of the
life he was leading, and that he hoped to
after coming here he lived at the
Hoffman. The baron struck pretty rapid
gait when he arrived in this city. Said
one who knows him: He first cultivated
the acquaintance, or rather his acquaint-
ance was cultivated by some of the gilded
youth. He is gay fellow and they like
his style. Then he took another tack and
some of the sporting boys took him on tow.
They HAD dice box, neat little affair with
weighted worries. The baron lost heavily.
He tried it again in a day or two only to
lose more money. He finally went broke
ana a timely remittance from his father
put him on his feet but he went through
that money-seen. / believe his father was
giving him 81 900 month, but the baron

Alexis Arrives in Paris.

PARIS, Aug. 11.-There is scarcely
doubt the non-arrival here yesterday Of
Grand Duke Alexis was entirely due to
his dissemination to be the recipient of the
enthusiastic welcome the citizens of Paris
had prepared for him. The crowd learned
ne would not arrive yesterday, but they
did not learn when he would reach Paris,
and consequently when the train On which
he travelled rolled into the station this
morning, no one was present officially or
unofticially to receive him. AS he reached
the platform he was recognized by a crowd
of at least a thousand persons. The greet
ing they gave the grand duke was enthu-
siastic. The grand duke, bowling and
smiling at the warmness of his welcome
despite his attempt to avoid 1t, entered q
carriage and was Immediately driven TO

Fight Between Balmacedans and Insur ents
Denied.

LONDON, Aug. u.-Cable dispatches
from Balmacedan sources in Santiago de
Chill have been received here denying the
reports that fighting had taken place be-
tween government troops and insurgent
forces at Valparaiso and Coquimbo August
3. According TO these dispatches the gov
ernment torpedo boat Almirante Condell
attacked the congressional party cruiser
Esmeralda and q number of transports at
Caldera. A number of torpedos were dis
char ged from the Almirante Condell. but
as the attack was made at night and as it
was very dark the results are not known.
None of the rebel vessels have since been
near the provinces held by President Bal
maceda. The dispatches further state the
reports as to the relations between Chill
and Bolivia growing out of the latter's re-
cognition Of the insurgents as belligerents
are untrue and that stories of cruel punish
ments inflicted by the government are
pure inventions.
