A DUEL TO THE DEATH.
CAPTAIN MAYER KILLED By THE
MARQUIS DE MOREs.
Great Excitement in France Over the
Tragic Event-The Marquis
Grieved at His Adver-
sary's Death.

PARIS, June "a. The Marquis de
Mores is deeply grieved at the fatal out
come of his duel with Captain Mayer.
He says the combat was fought under
conditions that ought to have prevented
fatal termination. Mayer belonged to
the engineer corps and was regarded by
his friends as brilliant officer. Mayer
was Hebrew and the duel arose out of
remark of De Mores that no Jew
ought to be member Of the army.
The duel was fought with swords.
The terms were that the duellists were
not to come to the closest quarters, and
to cease when one received q wound
placing him in position inferior to his
adversary.
When the duellsts had taken their
positions the usual signal "Allez" was
given. The marquis made Q direct
thrust, which was parried by Captain
Mayer. The marquis again made q
rapid lunge, his sword passing through
Captain Mayors guard, piercing the
body below the armpit. The marquis
instantly disengaged his weapon and
leaped back on his own ground. Captain
Mayer dropped his sword, exclaiming !:
"I am badly hitl" and fell to the
ground.
The marquis advanced to his PROSTATE
antagonist. and, bending over him, said !:
Captain Mayer, will you allow me to
shake hands with you?"
Captain Mayer held out his hand.
Surgeons at once attended the captain
and he was soon made as comfortable as
the circumstances permitted, placed in
q carriage and removed to the hospital,
where he died at O'Clock this after
noon.
Captain Mayer had carefully con-
cealed from his relatives all knowledge
of the fact he was to fight duel. When
the news of their sons death was broken
to the parents, the fathers grief was ex-
treme. He went to the hospital, and
the body of his son was given to him.
He conveyed the remains home, where
the dead mans mother was distracted.
When the body was taken into the
house, Nine. Meyer threw her arms
around it and covered the face with
kisses.
The affair is deeply regretted at Ecole
Politechnique, where Captain Mayer
held a professorship. He was greatly
esteemed by his fellow officers, and was
splendid fencer, and had appeared in
numerous assaults at arms.
An Associated Press representative
had an interview with De Mores tooay,
who expressed much sorrow for the
death of Captain Mayer, and added:
II am aware that the authorities will
issue warrant for my arrest. What
does it matter? The magistrates will
not prevent the prosecution of the work
we have undertaken. Personal ques-
tions are nothing. Principles are all in
all. We are but at the beginning of a
civil war;"
Warrants have been lssued for the
arrest Of the Marquis de Morss. Orders
have been given to prosecute the Sec
ends of both contestants.

author of whatever dangers and hard
ships were thus produced.
Gladstone dwells on the imperfections
in the English local government bills,
and the small holdings bill. He enum-
crates the chief items of the Newcastle
programme, and says the proposed pay
ment of labor members OF parliament,
and similar measures, will render labor
the greatest possible services by placing
it in condition to help itself.
Regarding shorter hours of labor, he
says much has already been done by
legislation, and a voluntary arrange
ment constitutes guarantee OF future
progress; but we impress upon workers
that what is achieved is due to popular
government, which is founded upon a
just appreciation Of personal liberty,
with which the strength of the working
classes is essentially allied.
In conclusion, he says he feels that
this must surely be the last general elec-
ton in which he shall solicit the suff-
RACES OF his constituents, and he can
only expect to execute q small special
share of the work he has sketched out.

maker, named Lanhfield, and one child,
who are supposed to be under the de-
bris.
In all. eleven persons were injured,

BALFoUR's SLOGAN.

The Tory Leader Issues an Election
Manifesto.
LONDON, July 24.-Balfour has issued
an election manifesto, in the course of
which he says an Irish parliament con-
trolling the Irish executive cannot be
controlled by the imperial parliament.
The system allowing parliament in
Dublin to manage Irish affairs, while
Irish representatives interfere with
English and Scotch business, would pro-
duce intolerable consequences in both
countries. Such condition would be
greatly unfair to the British and cruel
and aggressive to the minority in Ire
land.
Balfour glorities the acts of the pres
ent government and hints at reduction
of Irish representation if the subject of
parliamentary reform be raised.
