THE first duel over the Panama scandal
occurred in France, near Paris, last Thurs
day. Clemenceau and Deroulede. two
'eading members of the Chamber were the
principals. and, as the accounts state,
"Clemenceau mereifally spared Deroulede's
life" More duels are "on deck" as the
boys say. and everybody should read Mark
Twain's account of one. De Lesseps seems
to have bribed almost the whole govern
meut, and this exposure makes the Re

from o trip to Omaha, which point ne

home was at No. 2ll2 North Twentieth

nieces live, but instead OF going there he
took room at the boarding house kept
by Mrs. William Tout, and during the
week had gone ont Of doors very infre.

4 servant noticed an odor of escaping
gas in the Railways early yesterday morn

the second floor front. The door was not
locked, and receiving no reply to her calls
for admission, the girl opened it and looked
inside. The body of the buarder was lying
stretched out on the bed and Il thin line of
rubber hose ran from the gas Jet above the
dresser to his mouth. The windows were
closed tight and the room was filled with
gas.

DELAW1RE TOBACCO.
4 Constable's Sale Brings Out the Fact
of the Growth of Tobacco in This


NbhSAa"aNS ''HhG bEAHBS oht thB EaNt
of the Growth of Tobacco in This
County.
Constable Charles Green Tuesday sold
the household goods and contents of the
store of Isaac Rodriguez, Twelfth and
Brandywine streets. The goods were
seized for rent after Rodrignez had left
the State. The contents were sold to q
man named Duffy. These included a
quantity OF Leaf tobacco grown here which
was sold to 5. II. Durstine of No. East
Second street. This tobacco was grown on
the marsh land uf the National Dredging
Company over Third street bridge in 1889
and 1880 and afterwards sold by the
owners to Rodriguez.
Under the United States revenue law no
man, unless a tobacco manufacturer, can
buy tobacco for manufacturing purposes.
In pursuance of this law, Daniel Burton of
Millsboro, Delaware deputy internal
revenue collector, was detailed on the
mission OF watching the sale.
Mr.. Burton arrived yesterday and ac-
companied Constable Green I'd the sale.
He saw that the intent of the law was
carried out, and also who bought the to-
bacco.
Mr.. Durstine, the buyer, must. according
TO law, report to the internal revenue office
the amount OF tobacco purchased so that
the officers may see that the amount agrees
wlth the hummer OF cigars made by him,
u record of which is required to be Kept in
order that the government is assured that
there is no evasion of Federal tax.
There is unusual interest in this case on
account of the fact Of the discovery Of a
tobacco crop in this neighborhood. The
general impression is that the article can
not be produced protitably in Delaware.
1t has been ascertained that there have
becn small crops grown here along the
Pennsylvania line, in thedrecton of Ken.
nett Square and elsewhere in this county.
