A STRANGE STORY.
missing Mans Relatives Allege Robbery
and Murder.

NEW YORK, January 17.-David Blu
menthal, wealthy, retired merchant, "a
years old, disappeared from home last
May. The loss of his wife had affected
his mind. Several of his children live in
this city and are wealthy. After his
wife's death, he went to live with mar
ried daughter, but his mind became so
unbalanced it was deemed best to place
him under restraint. His son, Samuel,
says that another son, Henry, took his
father to an asylum. Samuel also claims
that Henry induced the old man to with
draw $4,000 from several banks where he
had the money deposited. Then father
and son disappeared. Samuel alleges
that Henry was gambler. The latter S
wife is anxious for his return. The fa-
ther and son were traced to Bremen. The
wife believes that her husband and his
father were murdered for their money.

BouTELLE WOULD NOT DIE

Duel, Shot in Certain Lines.
Especial to the I'ress.l

WASHINGTON, january 17.--Evcr since
Captain Boutelle polSed fun at Gen. Jo-
seph Wheeler, of Alabama, last Friday
in the debate over the number of COM
mittee clerks to be authorized, the air
has been thick with rumors of a duel be-
tween the two statesmen, or at least that
a challenge would be sent by the fiery
Alabamian. A New York paper yester-
day had sustained and circumstantial
story to that effect. When Gen. Wheeler
was asked whether he would send car
tel to Captain Boutelle, he replied, II
will never challenge man who won't
fight He then went on to remark that
he would however, have something to
say on the floor Of the House by way Of
reply.
When Captain Boutelle was asked
about the matter, ne laughed and said:
"A duel between Gen. Wheeler and my
self. with pistols and without conditions
would not be fair. l am a good deal
bigger physically than he is, and of
course afford just that much better mark
to shoot at. If we should meet, would
certainly insist, as one of the terms of the
meeting, that there should be challled out
ON me in broad distinctness the outline
of Gen. Wheeler's figure and If he hits
me outside that outline, the hit should not
count. That is the only way things can
be made equal.''

TENNEssEE,s BLooDLEss WAR.
Miners Burning Powder, Drinking Rum
and Making Threats.

KNOXVILLE, january 17.-Late last
night reports were received from Coal
Creek stating that 1000 miners were as
sembling on the mountain overlooking
the soldiers camp with a view of MAX
ing an attack. An operator in the camp
telegraphed that the miners were doing a
good deal of shooting, but no one had
been hurt. The camp was expecting an
attack, but the men were in good trim to
hold the fort at all costs. Nothing
further was heard from the operator.
Yesterday was pay day at Coal Creek
and some persons have been predicting
trouble. The miners from Blocton went
to Coal Creek Friday night, and yester-
day morning one of them, who was
drinking, said they were going out there
to 'sclean up'' the militia. The fact that
the wires have not been cut is construed
tolmean no trouble. The firing by the min
ers is thought to be merely demonstra-
ton to harass the troops.
