In the pocket of the coat were several let
tiers saying that the owner was Thomas

bridge into the river at midnight No
trace of the man has been found, although
the coroner is engaged in searching for

4 Louisiana Duel Results in the Death
of One Participant.
New ORLEANS, April 4.-News has just
reached hereof fatal duel with Winches-
ter rifles on Turnbull's island, at the
mouth Of the Red river, Friday morning
The principals were Michael MCGOWAN and
Andrew Kirk, both citizens of West Mel
vile. The duelists, together with num-
Der of their friends, crossed the river at s
o'clock, and the distance of 100 yards was
measured off and the men placed back to
back. When the signal to turn was given
McGowan fired, but missed his adversary.
Kirk calmly levelled his rifle, and taking
deliberate aim shot MCGOWAN in the head,
the ball entering near the left eye and COM
ing out at the right ear. The wounded
man fell to the ground and expired almost
instantly.
The Sheriff Arrived Behind Time.
The sheriff had learned of the intention
TO fight duel and had followed the party.
He reached the scene a few minutes after
the shooting and arrested Kirk and the
second. The cause of the duel dates back
about two Years. Kirk was engaged to
marry young lady, but on account of
sanderous stories circulated about him
the engagement was broken. He accused
MCGOWAN of being the author of the
stories and bad blood between the men
has existed since that time

WASHINGTON, April 4-The national as
sociation of Democratic clubs, through its
executive committee, is sending out to all
local clubs, circular letter urging the or.
ganization of primary societies through
out the Union by which to wage the polit.
ical battle of the year. One of the circu-
lars gives the object of the campaign by
the Republicans to be the election of a
congress that shall pass force bill and to
avert that the organization of local socie-
ties Is declared TO be a necessity, as by
means of such organizations the battle
must be fought.

More than 100 families are suddenly rem

to see weeping mothers, with their help
less little ones clinging to them, gazing at

work of the flames that few families saved
anything from their residences, many
barely escaping with their lives.

ST. LOUIS, April 4.-The strike of the
river firemen, roustabouts, and 'longshore-
men shows signs of weakening, and it is
expected will totally collapse. The ranks
of the strikers are being rapidly thinned
by desertion, and owners of the various

will soon have no difficulty in securing
enough men to load and unload their
boats. The men are almost entirely pen
niless, and have subsisted on voluntary
contributions of food since the strike COM
menced. Now the food is running rather
