DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Two HOpkinsvilIe Policemen Settle
a Quarrel of Long Standing.
Pistols Placed Against Each Others
Bodies And The Triggers
Drawn.
TWO BRAVE MEN.

HoPcINsvILIE, KY, Sept. 6.--Two men
lying upon the platform at the Louis.
vile and Nashville depot--one dead and
the other MORALLY wounded-both in
the uniform Of policemen and wearing
upon their breasts the badge OF authority
was the sight that met the eyes of excit-
ed citizens Of Hopkinsville at Q o'clock
this morning. 1t was the elimination
OF bitter hatred between officers Robert
West and Will Davis, the sequel to the
strained relations that have for some
time existed.
At the council meeting last night a
member Of the board preferred against
Davis the charge of deserving his post
and spending a night with two lowd
women. To sustain these charges and
effect the removal of Davis from the
force it was necessary to introduce his
brother officers as witnesses, Vests tes-
timony was of peculiarly damaging
nature and upon the strength of his
statements given reluctantly Davis was
suspended.
This morning the two men met at the
L. & N. depot. Witnesses observed
them talking excidedly and gesticuIating
violently. Then they separated, going
in opposite directions. Suddenly Davis
turned and fred at West, the latter
jumped into the door of the mems wait
ing room, and drawing his pistol came
out again and returned the fire. Both
men advanced and when within arms
reach of each other Davis placed his pis-
tol against Vests left side and pulled
the trigger. AT the same instant Vests
pistol was discharged and Davis sank to
the platform. West turned and walked
away few steps, reeled and was caught
in the arms Of man who had hurried
to the scene.
"He has shot me through the heart
send for my wife," he said.
Scarcely had he spoken when two
more bullets from Davis pistol whistled
by his head. Davis, lying on his side in
the agonies of a mortal wound, was de-
termined to finish his work.
West was carried TO the platform,
where he expired in four minutes. The
bullet had passed through his heart.
Dayis was placed in carriage and taken
to his house where he still lives, but
cannot long survive. The bul4et from
Vests pistol entered the right side, and,
ranging down, lodged in the spinal
column, resulting in paralysis of the
lower limbs.
West was forty-eight years old, and
leaves wife and two children. He was
born at Macon, Ca, and entered the
Confederate army at thirteen, carrying
musket through the war. Davis is forty
years old and has large family. The
affair has created the most intense ex-
element here.

A communication was also. read from
the papal delegate, Archbishop Satolli,
stating that pressing business prevented
him from being present on the opening
day Of the Congress. 1t is understood
that he will be in attendance tomorrow.
Considerable significance was attached
by many to the choice of temporary
chairman. The selection, as expected,
fell upon Judge Morgan J. o. O'Brien,
of New York Supreme Court, delegate
from Archbishop Corrigan's territory.
Addresses on special topics chiefly occu-
pied the remainder OF the day, the first
being by Edgar II. GAM, of Baltimore,
on "The Relations Of the Catholic Church
to the Social, Civil and Political Institu-
tons of the United States" Other adj
dresses were by Father Elliott, OF the
Paulist Order; Walter @. Smith, of Phil
adelphia; Judge Martin F. Morris, of
Washington, d. c.; Richard Clarke, OF
New York; Mary j. Mahon, of Chicago /;
and George Parsons Lathrop. Mr.. La
throp is the son-in-law of Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
Tonight large meetings were held, at
which addresses were made by distin-
guished delegates to the Congress, lay
and clerical.

HIGH BRIDGE.
A Trip to the Famous Blue Grass and
Historic Lexington.
SAM JONES A GREAT PREACHER.

Having seen advertised that there
would be camp meeting held at the
camp meeting grounds at High Bridge,
KY, conducted by Revs. Sam Jones and
George r. Stewart, and being DESTROYS to
VISIT that portion of country known as
the Blue Grass region, took the train at
Kirk station for Louisville, purchasing a
ticket there for High Bridge over the
Louisville Southern. This route passes
through Shelby, Anderson and Mercer
counties, the High Bridge station being
in Jessamine, on the south bank of the
Kentucky river. Arriving at High Bridge
late in the evening, and thinking there
would be no meeting until next day, (Sat-
urday,) l thought l would go on and visit
historic Lexington and return the next
morning to the camp meeting grounds,
which thing did.
Like the Mohammedan regards Mecca,
so should every Kentuckian regard Lex
ington as a shrine where he might pay
tribute to the memory of the great Com
moner, Henry Clay. l passed by the
cemetery in which sleep so many of the
honored sons of our Commonwealth and
saw the Clay monument, which lowered
high above all the other monuments in
sight, like him whose posthumous glory
it guarded lowered when he walked
among the children of men.
Returning to High Bridge spent some
time in looking at the scenery in that vi
cinity, which bears the grandest imprint
of nature. To those who love natural
scenery they should go to High Bridge
and feast their eyes upon it; but if you
have no love for natures glories go thou
not there. LISA grand sight to see a loco
motive with five or six passenger coaches
pass rapidly over bridge 800 feet high
and 400 yards long; the triumph of the
art of man. How wild must have been
the grandeur of the scenery along these
shores when the whoop of the savage
could be heard and the eagle screamed
from his aerie on the highest cliff.
Invent into the camp meeting grounds
and heard Stewart preach. He is grand
preacher. On Sunday Sam Jones was on
hand and preached two sermons. will
not attempt to describe him. His name
belongs to history. His style is peculiar
TO himself. He is like some other men
of fame-born to fill certain sphere, and
his like never to be reproduced.
Passing through these counties so fam
ed for their beautiful blue grass sward,
the drouth prevailed to such an extent
that it gave them more the appearance of
the aridity OF the desert than the emer-
aid resting upon the bosom of nature.

Mr.. Jas. Talbot, one of the leading
fruit growers of this county, sent several
specimens of his fine peaches to the Lex

any such peaches and there was nothing

one Child Killed and Several Persons
Badly Injured.

Providence, r. l., March la
midnight train for New York on the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, collided with the Stonington
boat train at Norwood at 5:25 o'clock
this morning. killing a child and iniur-
ing half dozen OF the passengers.
The dead child is the nine-months-old
son Of Andrew Vanick, and the injured

Everett, Mass, Injured internally; +.
Jolly, New York, cut and bruised about
the head; 3. Myers, Providence, injured
internally, and Andrew Vanick and
wife, cut about the face and head.
The boat train was stopped on the
Pawtucket bridge for repairs and a
brakeman was sent back to flag the
New York train, but too late TO avert
collision. The New York mail dashed
up at q 20 mile gait. The engine crash
ed into the rear end Of the boat train

wood. The engine OF the latter was
wrecked and the combination car next
to IL was badly broken up. The fire.

A Barren Field.

The complete emptiness OF further
Arctic exploration, so far as obtaining
any useful knowledge is concerned, may
be gathered by the summary OF the pur-
poses which Lieut.. Perry's second eX-
petition will aim to realize. At the
cost OF immense labor, heavy expense
and considerable risk of life, he will try
to outline coasts that can never be
reached by any more ambitious meth
DDS than dog-siedges; to determine the
location OF certain islands that are
bound in eternal ice, and TO study the
chronological characteristics Of race
whose harmless and barren lives nave
been pretty we'll understood from the
DAYS of Kane and Sir John Franklin.
The statement Of these aims is enough
TO show how the so-ealled scientific
purposes OF Arctic explorations are re-
duced by the test OF actual usefulness
to the character OF chaf-choDping. -

Shawl of Persian Cats, Hair.

The Duchess of Northumberland is
the possessor of shawl which was pre-
sented by King Charles y. OF France,
and which cost half million of francs.
1t is manufactured from the fur OF a
species of Persian cat. The hair of this
cats fur is so extremely fine and elastic
that single hair is scarcely percepti-
bic to the naked eye. The spinning
and weaving OF this material and the
production OF single shawl like the
one referred to requires few thousand
of catskins and the labor OF several
years. The Duchess of Northum ber-
lands shawl measures eight yards
square. but is so fine and elastic that ii
can, If necessary, be compressed into a
large coffee cup.
