SHOTS FOLLOW AN INSULT.
Walter |, Bragg Killed and DR..
Jesse Mattel Wounded.

The Dead Man a Son of the Late Inter
State Commerce Commissioner Naf-
tel Told Bragg that His Posture OBJ
struoting His Views of Senator Nor
gan Was One Which No Gentleman
Would Assume-Bragg Seeks Mattel
in the Morning and They Fight it
Out With Pistols.
Montgomery, Ala, April ga deplo-
rable tragedy here to-day resulted In the
death of one young man and the probably
fatal wom ding of another. Walter l.
Bragg, son of the late interstate COM
merce commissioner and DIR. Jesse Mattel
had misunderstanding last night at the
theater, where Senator Morgan spoke
They did not know each other, but had
seats close together. Mattel spoke to
Bragg for the position in
which the latter placed himself,
claiming that he was obstructing his view
of the stage and speaker. He finally said
to Bragg, "a gentleman would not act
that way" Bragg then gave his name
and asked Naftel's in return, with the
statement that the matter could be
settled afterward. 1t was feared by a
few who knew of the disturbance and of
the determined character of the men
that they 1Votsiia have d difficulty during
the night.
RENEWED WITH PISTOLS.
This morning about 9:15 o'clock Bragg
went into the drug store where Naftels
Office is kept. He asked Mattel aside, and
they went to the rear, where a partition
separated the store into two parts Those
in front, only two or three, heard no con-
versation and first knew of the difficulty
by the rapid firing. Who fred first or
what was said is not known. When they
reached Bragg he was found to be fatally
shot in the abdomen, and died in an hour.
Mattel was wounded in two or three
places, but none of his wounds are re
garded as serious except one, where pis-
tol ball struck him square between the
eyes on the top of the bridge of the nose.
The ball has not been found, and as yet,
the surgeons are unable to form an opinion
Mattel was taken to his home, where he
is resting quietly, and 1t may be q day or
so before anything definite as to results
is ascertained.
SKETCHES or THE PRINCIPALS
Bragg was an attorney of decided abil-
ity, and bid fair to make reputation.
He was "a years old and unmarried. His
remains were taken TO the residence of
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Paul Smith,
where the funeral will occur tomorrow.
Mattel is about 80 years old. He has re-
Gently moved to this city from the coun-
try to practice medicine. His standing in
medical circles is fine. He has wife and
two children.
The affair was the topic of conversation
for the day, and is greatly deplored. Both
parties stand high and have wide circles
of friends.

WORK OF THE REICHsTAG.

The Coburg show has crowded domes-
Tie politics into the background The end
OF the parliamentary session has caused
the Berlin editors to review the work of
the Reichstag and to pass many uncom-
plimentary remarks upon its record
Eugene Richter's Freisinnige Zeitung,
radical, says: "the session accomplished
little good, but not too much harm"
The Boersen Courier, radically unIonist,
says that unless the Reichstag prove more
tractable at the next session, it should be
dissolved. The government ought to get
assurances in advenceas to the possibility
OF a working majority for ministerial
proposals.
BIsMARCK's NEWSPAPER WARFARE.
Prince Bismarck's spesch to the ma
tional liberal deputies in Friedrickruhe
on Friday plainly foreshadowed his inten-
tlon to resume his active newspaper cam
palgn against the government. The recon
ciliation with the Emperor has failed to
silence him. In referring to Chancellor
Caprivi's retirement from the Prus-
sian premiership two years ago,
Prince Bismarck said that q
German chancellor without the support
of the Prussian ministry, was like rope
dancer swaying in mid air. The empire,
he said, was like ship at sea everything
should be cleared for action, everybody
should be ready at all times for a storm.

for renewed vigilance on the East Prus-

The Fearful Fatality of the Earth
quake in Greece Just Coming Out.
Athens, April 22.-Many reports from
the towns which have suffered most Sc
verely from the earthquakes of the last
two days were, received this afternoon
and evening. The loss of life and prop
erty is much greater than was at first
supposed.
in the Locris district 129 persons are
known to have been killed by falling
walls, and many others are missing.
A parish church in Proskino collapsed
during vespers, and thirty men and women
were killed outright, while several who
were dug out alive from the ruins are
likely to die.
Ninety persons were buried in the ruins
in Malesina and sixty of them were killed.
The others may recover.
In many towns whole households have
disappeared without leaving an inkling of
their fate.
In Martino, thirty-nine persons were
killed by falling timbers Most of them
died within the walls of church whose
roof fell in during services
Although there has been small loss of
human life in Athens and its environs,
the damage to property has beeh enor-

The achievements of this organization
should he familiar to all who are Interested
and should enlist the encouragement OF those
who appreciate the importance of an effective
dissemination OF democratic doctrine.
Your association has done much by way Of
educating our people, touching the particular
subjects which are recognized as belonging to
the democratic faith; but IL seems to me that
Its best service has been an enforcement
and demonstration of the truth that our
party is best organized and most powerful
when it strives for principles instead OF spoils
and that 1t quickly responds to the stimulus
supplied by an enlistment in the peoples
cause.
This Acknowledgement OF the important SER
vices rendered to the advancement of true
democracy suggests that the national associa-
tlon OF democratic clubs and every other dem
ocratic agency should labor INCREASINGLY and
earnestly to save our party, in this time of its
power and responsibility. from the deRreda-
tton and disgrace of failure to redeem the
pledges upon which our fellow countrymen
entrusted us with the control OF their govern
ment.
All who are charged on behalf Of the Demo-
cratic party with the redemption Of these
pledges should now be impressivey reminded
that. as we Won our way to victory under the
banner Of tariff reform so our insistance upon
that principle is the condition Of our reten-
tion of the peoples trust: and the fealty to
party organization demands the subordina-
tion of individual advantages and wishes,
and the putting aside OF petty and ignoble
jealousies and bickeringsswhen party princt-
pies and party integrity and party existence
are at stake.
l cheerfully inclose a contribution to the
funds necessary to carry on the good work OF
your organization with a hearty wish for its
continued success and usefulness. Yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
