LOVERS F.AHT A DUEL.
Savage Conflict With Whips ami the Bel
liSercnts Badly Damaged.

liGercnts Badly Damaged.
PrrTsBuRG, Pa, Feb. 6 "A fight with
long whips, each fighter standing in his
own buggy, is furnishing some spicy
gossip for~~the society of Sharpsburg.
The parties to the fight were George
Fairman and Samuel Maxwell, who are
rivals in love and who belong to the up
per crust.
On Wednesday night Fairman started
to Sharpsburg in a buggy to see his
sweetheart. On the same evening Max
well was driving into the country to see
a friend
They met on the way. Maxwell
grabbed his whip from the socket, stood
erect in his buggy, and with all his force
brought the lash down on Fairman's
head. Fairman returned the blow with
a similar one.
The cracker on the whip reached
around MaXwelPs head, wrapped itself
over his face and cut the skin from his
eye to the ear. Again the whips were
raised and brought down, with as much
force and more telling effect. At this
stage of the battle, one of the horses be-
came frightened and gave jump.
The wheels of the buggies locked and
moment later the two rivals were ly-
ing about yard apart in the middle OF
the roadway. The horses We're out of
sight. The buggies were wrecked, but
honor had been satisfied, and the men
walked to Sharpsburg together.

Cold and Starvation.

Six Persons Found Nearly Dead from
Cold and Starvation.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Feb. 6.-The family
of George Crandall, consisting of six per-
sons, living in an old brick house on the
Hon. Thos. B. Carroll property, near
Saratoga Lake, have just been found
nearly dead of cold and starvation.
The youngest child had died for want
of nourishment, and the father and
mother and 10-year-old boy were sick
and furnishing for want of food, of which
there was not a morsel in the house.
The other members of the family were a
14-year-old daughter, whose scant cloth
ing hardly covered her nakedness, and an
S0-year-old woman, Mrs. Crandalrs
mother, who was helpless from age and
want of food.
They had evidently been in this desti-
tute condition for some time, and had
they not been discovered they must have
soon persisted.

nal-Story of the Grim RecalIed-Tied
Up by the Thumbs for 81 Hours.
BERLIN, N. j., Feb. 6.-There was con.
siderable excitement in this place last
night when Constable Bowman Bates of
Waterford drove up to the Camden and
Atlantic station and announced that he
had arrested the man who is wanted at
New Brunswick for hanging an old
and robbing him of pocketbook con-
tanning $57. The outrage was perpe-
trated on Saturday, Jan. II.
When Constable Bates found his man
he was working for man named Ottin-
ger, at Hays mill, near Atco. When he
was told he was under arrest he said:
Just as expected. I suppose it is
for that job over at New Brunswick,
isn't it p
eyes," replied the constable
He quietly allowed the constable to
slip the bracelets on. They drove to
Berlin, where they took the train for
Camden Jail.
The Outrage on tho Farmer.
The man who was the victim of the
'job," as the prisoner contemptuously
termed one of the most. appalling out
RACES ever perpetrated in New Jersey, is
old John Toms. He was tied up in a
dark closet by his thumbs, and remained
alone in an isolated farm house near
New Brunswick forL51 hours before he
was dis covered. He said that the per.
petrators of the crime were John
Walker and Frank Cook, who lived in
the neighborhood, but who escaped be-
tore Toms was discovered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Quite a furry
was caused in the Senate when Senetor
Ingalls, made the announcement that he
could not 70 to for the Elections bill in
its present shape, but would vote for it
after certain amendments were made.
It is quite likely that an effort will
be made to bring up the Elections bill
again.
The silver men are determined to get
the Free Coinage bill through, and are
expected to enter into a deal of any
kind to bring about such a result. Sen
ators Teller and Hoar had a long con-
ference, and-it is believed that they
came to some agreement by which the
Elections bill will be brought up again,
with the understanding that it be used
as club to drive the Conference Com
mittee in charge of the Silver bill into
making its report.

An Acid BOTTLE Needed.

A surgeon has called attention to the
fact that a more convenient form of
acid bottle Is needed. The ordinary
bottle allows drops to run down the
outside and eat off the labels and burn
the shelves and perhaps the hands of
the user. A form of bottle is some
times used for essenc and oils which
might be adopted with advantage. In
the place Of the ordinary aperature
there is a tube with a lip. On the side
opposite the lip there is a groove lead
ing back into the bottle. The liquid Is
then poured out by means of this tube,
but any drops than run down the out
side run back into the bottle. The
whole is then covered by a ground cap.
This principle is employed in the ordi.
nary collodion bottle and in some claret
jugs
A stopper has been brought out in
England which meets some of the OBJ
jections to the ordinary form. it i
really a glass lid with a pin of glass
passing into the neck of the bottle to
keep it from falling of. The externa!
appearance of the new stoppered bot.
tie is thus nearly the same us usual,
but the stopper is replaced by a much
smaller body with straight sides. Thi,
form is said to be quite air tight, and
at the same time to avoid sticking
