MARY AND JOHN FALL OUT.
Rival Lovers Fight for a Girl and q Genera
Row Follows.

Rival Lovers Fight for Girl and q General
Row Follows.
A desperate battle took place at Mt Carmel,
Pa, Wednesday night, which may result In the
death of several Of the participants. The COM
bat caused bv a Tilted lover. who followed
the object of his affections from the old country
to America, met his rival and fierce fight en-
sued. Until six months ago John Rotoski,
Michael Lincevitch and Mary Donsky lived in a
small town in Hungary. Both men were des-
perately in love with Mary, who finally agreed
to fee to this country with John.
Upon their arrival in New York they were
married and have since lived in peace and
happiness until about one week ago, when it
was learned that Lincevitch had followed them
to this country with the intention Of being re-
venged.
A pugilistic encounter was chosen as means
of deciding the justice of the claims. Wednes-
day night was the time set for the duel
About fifty railroad workmen witnessed the
fray. Mary was selected as referee and it is
alleged, agreed to take the victor for her hus-
band. The men were stripped 10 the waist,
and, when time was called, started in to punish
each other. Five rounds were fought, during
which time both men had their faces almost
battered into Jelly.
The fight lasted forty minutes, when COM
petely exhausted and bleeding pnOfnsely, Lince-
wien was unable to stand up any longer. A
foul was claimed on account of Ro.oski chewing
his opponents ear, during which time a fierce
and brutal struggle began. The girl sided with
her husbands friends, and she was knocked
senseless. What resembled riot followed.
Weapons Of all kinds were used pronliscu-
ously. and ten or twelve were felled with clubs,
while several bullets found their way among
the crowd. Nearly all OF the fifty were badly
cut and bruised, and six Of them are in pre-
carious candition. Rotoski, with his face all
bandaged up, left yesterday for Shenandoah,
accompanied by Mary.

The Opale bombarded the Dahomeyan riverside
villages and finally reached Bodji with some

JOSEPEINE'S OLD HOME.

Efforts to Preserve Historic Ma,ru Alison
From Falling Into yandai Hands.
From the London Telegraph.
Further efforts are being made to preserve
historic Malmaison. once the residence Of the
Empress Josephine, from falling into the hands
of some nineteenth century vandal who would
probably demolish it in order to raise ..jerrv-
built suburban villas on its Site The old
palace is in a rather bad condition, being desti-
tute of furniture, tapestry and proper orna-
mentation. The two facades, one on the court
yard ard the other on the garden. are in
tolerably good condition. as well as the win
dows. staircases and ceilings
The rooms might easily be rearranged in
their old order and style. The vast porch. the
dining room. with its figures OF nymphs, marble
Eoor and fountain. the ouncil chamber shaped
like military tent. the library. the salon of
the Empress Josephine with the bed room at
tached. are in a fair state of preservation.
Malmaison Park has already been cut ND for
building lots, and several small houses, with
gardens. now exist on the property
The place was purchased In September, 1898
by Josephine for &c. 400-paid partly out of
her marriage portion and partly out Of the mill
tary allowance of her husband. then Gen Bona
Iarte. When first consul. Napoleon spent his
leisure hours at Malmaison, and in the early
DAYS OF the first empire the place was for Jose
phine what the Petit Trianon was for Marie
Antoinette-An agreeable change from pelatial
splendor After. death Of Josephine, in May,
1914, Malmaison had no occupants Of note until
Napoleon returned there for few days before
his last exile. Prince Eugene de Beauharnais
looked after the property during his lifetime,
but in 1926 his heirs sold it to Swedish banker.
In lsi1 Queen Maria Christina of Spain bought
it, and sold it in 1861 for 900 to the Emperor
Napoleon III, who made present Of it 10 the

From the Philadelphia Press.
Here is story which is travelling through the
Paris papers over the signature of no less per-
son than Aureliea Scholl:
well-known Paris clubman, the viscount
de Saint-Rieul, came home the other evening at
10 O'Clock. Having forgotten his glasses he
wasn't able to take part in game of poker at
the Sporting Club. He hired q carriage and
gave the driver orders to take him to his house
in the Rue Saint Fiorentin. Of course. at that
hour his valet de chamber was out. Saint-Rieul
entered his apartments by means of night key
On going INTO the parlor he found a stranger
endeavoring to open little safe. The stranger
turned around on hearing him enter. Saint
Rieul took off his hat, and in a courteous tone
said. mo doubt, sir. yon are a burglar"
Sure enough" replied the stranger
Il am sorry to disturb you," continued
Saint-Rieul
"How could fellow imagine" said the
burglar, "that man of the world like you and
such reputed club man could come home so
early as this!''
Il forgot something; only for that my pres
ence would be ineXplicable.
The burglar sighed. Il have no sort of

The members Of four building associations
Of Cincinnati are very much worried over what
appears to be some very crooked work by State
Senator Robert J. Kuehnert, who il or was at
torney for the four associations interest ed
The associations involved are the McMicken No

Germania. 1t appears that Kuehnert has made
seven first mortgages on one piece Of property
owned by Mrs. W. J. Fitzgerald Of Walnut
Hills, which aggregate s29. The property
in question is worth about $1,000. Warrants
will probably be issued for Knehnert's arrest
tomorrow unless he can be found and make an
explanation Of his transactions Some very in
teresting Developments are expected. Kueh-
merits Office has been besieged by anxious in
quiries but no one could tell where he was. 1t
is thought he has left town.
