A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY


EoMs. Aug. "A tragedy comes from
the village of Mercagliano in north Italy
Saceone, farmers son, was enamored of .
pretty grape picker named Bionda. The
girl was already betrothed to one Costa and
rejected the advances of Sacconc, who
forced quarrel with Costa, hoping to put
him out of the way and win Biondas hand
1t was agreed that the rivals should fight
duel with pistols. The girl, learning of
their rendezvous. planned to aid her lover,
and hiding behind him, she fired at Saccone
when the signal was given. Costa fired a,
the same instant.
Saccone fell dead, pierced by Costa's hui
lets, but Costa also fell, his sweetheart 5
aim having been so nnskilfnl that the bullet
from her revolver struck him in the baLk
nf the head instead of reaching its intended
victim.
More remarkable still, Saccomes bullet,
missing Costa, buried itself in the bosom of
the devoted maiden who had come to her
lovers assistance. The doctors have pro-
nounced Costas wound mortal, but think
the young woman may survive.

A QUEER CASE
Growing Out Of Farmers Claim to Portion
Of the Highway.

ArBrgx. Aug. GA farmer living in the
southern portion Of this city owns land
along the roadside and he claimed that the
travelling public in rounding a certain cor
ner Of the road, trespassed on his land
The land thus crossed was not valuable,
hut the owner was annoyed bvthe continued
tre,pass and decided 10 stop it.
TO do this. he hauled to the corner in
question the biggest stone he could find III
tina, locality unloading it at a point which
he considered indicated Just how far his
land extended. This point wa- well into
the middle of the highway, and AS the land
on the opposite side falls OFF rapidly teams
especially when travelling by night, were
liable to accident. the distance between the
big stone and the lower edge being short
The dangerous condition of the road was
communicated to the street commissioner
and tina; official went down. hitche1 one of
his strongest teams to the stone and
hauled it away He left it by the road
idle and the farmer came down and
haule,l it into his field and there left it,
Nothing further was done on either srlc for
several weeks. when the farmer put mp Il

exactly where the big stone ha been,
Ii extends into the Travelled road and
eompels teams to make almost a square
turn which cannot he done without some
inconvenience and delay. In the night, say
the people down that way, it is dangerous.
There is danger of collision with the cor
ner post on the one hand an1 of going over
the dump on the other. The fence, they
say has been torn partially down once or
twice hut the owner has repaired 1t and
made it as good as new,
The water during and after the rains
continued to flow down the ditch made by
the old ronI The board fence did not
stop il. of course, oo the enterprising farmer
bnit dam across the ditch and turned the
water into the road, outside the fence. And
so the contest between the farmer and the
street department. has gone on, developing
many spicy "psoflcs, other than the above.
The city has been ut some expense IN an
effort 10 ini out whether the particular
land belongs to the city or to the farmer
who is making all this time about II. He
is very sure the land is his. The ritv folks
are said to have made rather unsatisfactory
progress in finding deeds or papers defining
the limits of III" street.
It appears. however. that something is TO
be dome as a large petition has been handed
into the city government asking for widen
ing of the road.

NHw os,sANs, Aug. The British
steamship Australia, which has just arrived
at quarantine from Venezuelan ports, brings
some fresh and interesting details OF the
revolution now in progress. The rcvola
tionis,s under Crcspo. with u fierce Of 400
men, were eucaMpcd back Of the town OF
r,,crte Cahello. in the mountains. Every
night some of the rebels would ride into
town to drink and carousc, soaring the ctu-
gems and the .ei,liery almost To death.
About 500 more of the rebels were about
Nalcncin. some Is miles in the interior.
The citizens. PARTICULAR, the Europeans
who control the business of the town, are
not particularly interested as to which side
wins An they desire IL peace, Us business
is at perfect standstill, AMI has been for
the last -four months, Many of the mcr-
chants aud prosperous citizens live ut Stcs-
tabcn, little village in the mountains,
ahou, four miles from Puerto Cabcllc, ard
since that trouble began they have hc,n
forced 10 move iuto town, leaving their
villas to the tender mcrcies Of the rcvoiu,
tionis,s.
The main body of the rebels are Caria-
beans, a mixture of negro and Indian, half
starved, half-nakcd, the best dressed wear

many carry the old hcllmouth blun,tcrhusscs
loaded with gravel, the stock Of which has
to hc stuck in the ground before they can
aim and shoot. owing to the double hack
action movement,
General Crcspo Is p,ire-blo"ied Nenc-
zuclau, fine military leader, AMI an old,
able politician, having once been presr'ent
of the republic. The government forces
are Us ragged and unkcmpt and i,lassortcd
as the rebels Nearly all are harefoOscd,
the best dressed wearing sandals. General
Carlos lchcyorc, u government leader,
boarded the Australia at l.aguayra, AMI
after refreshing his Latin throat with liam-
burg ale made bargain with chief En-
ginccr Mahicr for his god-laccd cap. spy
glass and umbrella, and then proudly
marched ashore To stru, before his amazed
soldiers.
From all the captain couh learn the
revolutouists have the advantage and the
complete breaking ny of the existing goNs
crnment is merely u question of time, unless
English influence should prevent It. The
English are most thoroughly dctested by all
patriotic Ncnczuelans hut they control the
mining and banking interests aud are
