A DUEL TO THE DEATH

Fought by De Mores, the Famous French
Politician, and NJ. Isaac, q Government
Oncial-The Latter VIII Probably Die
From Sword Thrust.
PARIS, March 16.-A duel was fought this
morning between the Marquis De Mores
and NJ. Isaac, the Sub-Prefect of Fournes
The cause was letter which the Marquis
published some time ago, rejecting upon
the character of M. Isaac. Isaac was danger
ously wounded in the right breast, and great
loss of blood caused the seconds to forbid
the duel proceeding
Ever since the Fourmies riots, when the
military, at the instigation, it is claimed OF
NJ. Isaac, fired among the working people,
killing and wounding women and children,
as well as men, M. Isaac has been the object
of frequent and bitter attack on the part Of
the Socialists. He was upheld by M.
Constans, and this was one prominent cause
of that Minister'S unpopularity, and
indirectly of the disruption of the
Cabinet and the rejection of NJ Con-
stans by the new Premier, M. Lopbet.
The information that the Marquis had
chosen swords as the weapons, was not
agreeable to Isaac, but he accepted the terms
and authorized his seconds to arrange the
pressed the fighting. Isaac held his own
bravely, but was no match for the skill and
impetuosity of his antagonist. The Mar
quis evidently meant to kill, and Isaac
knew it. Both men kept their presence of
mind, or the fight would have ended at
once; for the Marquis was ready to take ad-
vantage of the slightest slip on the part OF
Isaac, who showed skill that encouraged
his friends, and seemed to astonish de
Mores.
It.was by skillful feint that de Mores
succeeded in disabling his man. He made
a thrust as if at the left breast, and as Isaac
made motion to parry the blow, de Mores,
with almost inconceivable swiftness, struck
fercely and forcibly to the right, plunging
his weapon into the breast of Isaac. The
latter staggered, the blood pouring from the
wound. He held to his sword, and made
motion to attack de Mores again. The lat
ter stood calm and turning to his second
asked for a cigar. This was handed to him,
and, lighting it, he quietly smoked while
the condition OF Isaac was being examined.

NEWS FROM THE FOREIGN CAPITALS

LIBAU, RUSSIA, March 16.-The Ameri-
can steamer Indiana, flying the American

is laden with provisions for the relief of the
starving Russian peasantry.
Soon after the news of the arrival of the

cruiser Strasch, commanded by Captain
Davidoff, having on board j. M. Crawford,
the American Consul at ST. Petersburg;
Count Bobrinskiof, chief of the
famine relief committee; Mr.. Born
holdt, American Consul at Riga; the
President of the st. Petersburg Bourse,
and other notable persons, proceeded to
welcome her. Flags were flying on all the
vessels in the harbor and the wharves were
crowded with enthusiastic people. The
warshlp was followed by the steamer Con-
cordia, which had on board the Bourse
Committee and a large number of guests.
As the vessels neared the Indiana military
band PLAYED ''The Star Spangled Banner"
and a salute was fired. The gentlemen from
the Straseh and Concordia boarded the
Indiana and speeches of welcome and thanks
were made.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
Mayor Stuart to-day received the following
caDlegram from the committee VI cltlZeHS
sent to Russia to superintend the distribu-
ton of the cargo of flour and provisions
taken from this port for the relief of starv-
ing Russian peasants:
The arrangement proposed by Minister
Smith for the distribution of cargo is excel
lent. 1t will be shipped in go Russian car
loads to ten provinces, comprising AZ dis
tricts, consigned to carefully-sele lected, trusty
persons, who will see to the proper distrfbu-
ton. The destitution in Samara province BAT
fies description. We therefore put 10 Russian
carloads of -four here for immediate ship
ment, as, after the breaking of the ice in the
Nolga, the province cannot be reached for
weeks. We had interview with the Minister
OF the Imperial Household, who is Vice
President of the Russian committee, yester-
day. Russia is deeply grateful, he states. The
distress is not exaggerated, and any Ameri-
can contributions are heartily welcome.
Distress must naturally increase as the sea-
son advances. We advise, therefore, send
ing other cargoes. A hundred thousand
horses, from Official information, have
starved in Voronej province. Send Iowa
corn to save horses and cattle, or farming
will be impossible, consequently the famine
will be repeated. Telegraph Mayor Wash
burne, the Chicago Board of Trade and
other places, to help humanity. The In
diana is expected shortly.

AFTER REV. BURRELL.

Tho Philadelphia Conference Attempts to
Discipline the Camden Brother Who Is
at the Service Of Eloping Couples-Ihe
Charges Not Sustained.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-In passing
on characters of supernumerary preachers
connected with the Philadelphia M. E.
Conference this morning, Rev. j. r. Gray
offered objection when the name OF Rev. W.
X. Burrell, of Camden, N. j., was presented,
and the matter was referred to committee
OF nine. The committee returned before
the close of the morning session with re-
port.recommending that Mr.. Burrell's char
acter be not passed, and that in accordance
with an article of the discipline that his
case be referred to the Presiding Elder of
his district to be proceeded against as the
discipline directs, as the want of testimony
prevented trial before conference.
The committees reasons for the report
were that no certificate of Mr.. BurrelPs
character had been offered by his Presiding
Elder and that there was no time to hear the
statements OF persons who feel aggravated
against Mr.. Burrell's performing the mar
riage ceremony.
Dr. Mcconnell offered o substitute that
the matter be postponed until the committee
ascertain whether q certificate of character
could be secured from the Presiding Elder.
On DR.. T. B. Neely's amendment the report
was then recommitted to the Committee of
Inquiry and messenger dispatched to
Camden for Mr.. Burrell, who will be given
an opportunity to defend himself
Mr.. Burrell has obtained considerable
notoriety by performing marriage cere-
monies for couples who cross the river to
New Jersey, thus avoiding the strict mar
riage laws of Pennsylvania. Many minors
who could not have been married here
have availed themselves of Mr.. Burrell's
services.
At the afternoon session Bishop Wolden
instructed the conference that as there were
no charges preferred against Mr.. Burrell,
it could not refuse to pass his character,
and it was SO ordered, although he received
no station as supernumerary owing to his
residence in Camden. The conference also
refused to restore the parchment of Richard
Morley, local preacher from whom the
document had been taken two years before
for improper teaching. j. 8. Mccullough
was continued as editor of the Philadelphia
Methodist, G. Snowden Thomas, of the PEN
insular Methodist, and D. !. B. Pepper, of
the Christian Standard The report of the
committee on statistics showed 6, 43O proba-
tioners, 51,127 members, 359 churches,
valued at $5,O45, ,2S6 and Indebtedness of

In an Encounter With Body of Austrian
Troops on the Frontier.
VIENNA, March 16.-A dispatch from
Wieliczka. in Galicia, states that conflict
occurred there to-day between . number of
Austrian and Russian soldiers and that two
of the Russians were killed. The affair has
created the most intense excitement among
the Russian frontier guards, and they
threaten to take revenge for the death of
their countrymen. The Austrian gendarmes
have been ordered to exercise the strictest

Intensive Farming

This is the established phrase to ex
press that condition of farming where
each acre and every square yard Of
each acre is made to produce the very
largest possible yield. One acre is thus
made to do the work of ten, nay of
even one hundred. Instances are of
record where fruits and vegetables
well cared for have yielded enormously
and with great perfection of product.
And what is now the exception may
become the ra1e under proper system
of intensive farming. What is required
for this result is small farms. The
Melvin. Garden Farms near Aunapo :
lis have been planned and beautifully
laid off with this object in view. The
land is of fine quality for the purpose,
easily improved, with high, healthy
building sites close to the city of An
napolis. The easy terms upon which
Mr.. Melvin offers these Garden Farms
invite attention. Call and get his maps
and descriptive circulars and invest in
a Garden Farm. 1t is just the thing.
