answer to queries aa to this state of affairs
witness replied that in his opinion there is
too much party politics for the good of the
people. "We seldom have sheriff who
can, and will. do his duty. There is also
too much delay in calling out the military

II do. The same applies to the governor

John A. Potter, superintendent Of the
Homestead mill when the trouble began,
said Col. Gray took charge of the Pinket-

sentative of the sheriff. He thought Gray

ROME. Nov. 14.-An important letter from
the vatican, dealing with American mat
tiers, have been dispatched to Manager Sa-
tolli. His holiness keenly desires that all
disputes in the church in America shall
cease, and that Satolli's mission to this end
may succeed. The German and Australian
ambassadors made strong representations
to Cardinal Rampolln, papal secretary OF
state. on the language of vatican journals.
When commenting on the Chicago fetes
they diated on the democratic policy of the
pope. The ambassadors complained that
tho church papers are 30 strongly favoring
republican ideas. and said there was danger
their advocacy of these ideas would foster
in Europe the democratio propaganda.
DESPITE these representations to the
vatican these papers devoted to the
election of Cleveland articles highly
sympathetic with the United States.
Lao rests immovable in his designs.
Further communications have been re-
ceived at the vatican from the German and
Australian governments, aiming at obtain

rumored that the pope will be called upon
to decide upon the questions of disarma-
ment and the rapprochement between
France and Germany. 1t is said that
England will play an important role as
mediator, with view to bringing about

AN IMPROMPTU DUEL.
Fought by Two Southern Gentlemen of
Good Standing.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 24.-Two Of the
foremost citizens Of Union Springs. forty
miles east Of here. fought an impromptu
duel yesterday, and it is probable one will
die from wounds received. They were j..
Ely, principal stockholder in the Bullock
County bank, and f. M. Mosely. one of the
largest merchants in the county. The fight
was the result of long standing feud.
The men met on the street Yesterday. Ely
stopped and said he wished to talk with
Mosely. The latter refused aud started
rapidly away. Ely called upon him to stop.
Mosely turned and fred three shots in
rapid succession and Ely fell. Mosely
again started to walk away. Ely rose to
his feet picked up a brick, and with a
rapid, staggering gait rwn after Mosely
whom he struck over the head. Again
Mosely fired. Ely olinched with him, and
wounded as he was, he threw him to the
ground. With Il swift motion he drew a
knife. Its keen edge was at Mosely' 8
throat. just as the steel touched the skin
two men ierked Ely away, saving Mosely's 8
life. Two bullets took effect in Ely's body.
At the first fire one passed through the
bowels. This will very likely prove fatal.

that the American delegates came from
