NOT YET SETTLED.
The Proposition of the Miners Not Ac- cepted and Counter Prop
 osition Offered.

Whether or not the miners will agree to go back to work remains to bs seen. Some of them want to go back at any reasonable price, while others want to stay out until they are paid the wages they demand.
 It is understood that the committee made report to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company offering to return to work for 4Oh cents per ton. This the company would not agree to, but it is further un- derstood that they offered to pay the men 37b cents per ton while foundry No. is SS 50 per ton or less and 23 cents increase for every 50 cents that iron increases until it reaches $11 per ton, and then pay 2h proposition will be reported back to the different camps to be decided upon by the men.

A DEADLY DUEL

BETWEEN PROMINENT MEXICANS CAUSES
 COMMENT OF A GRAVE CHARACTER.
 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-A special to the Globe D emocrat from the City of Mexico says that in a duel with pistols last evening Senor Jose Verastugui, chief of the govern ment stamp department, was killed by Francisco Romero, a well-known congress- man. The seconds of Verastugui were Apolianaio Costillo, president of the Mexl- can senate and editor of El Partido Liberal, and Ramon Prida, a congress man and edi- tor of Fl Universal. The seconds of Romero were Senor Barrolo, Spaniard, and Gen. Lanro Cariilo, ex governor of Chihuahua and a member of the senate.
 The duel was the result of quarrel over a woman, and occurred shortly after 4 o'clock near the American cemetery, on the outskirts of the city. On the fire Ve- rastugui fell with Q ball through his heart, and the body was taken to the police sta ton.
 The affair has created a huge sensation in government and social circles, and is the most notable duel which has occurred In the republic for dozen years. The quar- rel started Wednesday afternoon, and was so warm that the challenge, acceptance and date were at once attended to.
 It is expected that the duel will put an effectual quietus on the T ising tide Of duel ing in Mexico, and may result in the en- actment of new and stringent laws against meetings on the field of honor.
 There are several duels on the tapis h this city at present. All the principals are prominent men, three of them being mem- bers of the national congress, and the others well known business men. Per sonal misunderstanding of different kinds are the cause in each case.

COLONEL M'KLEROY
Announces Himself a Candidate for Congress in the Fourth District-A
 Notable Event in Politics.

ANNIsToN, Aug. 1O.-[special. ]-Col. John M. McKl leroy of this city announces himself for the democratic congressional nomination for the Fourth district. He is one of the best known and one of the most popular men in the state, has been lead ing factor in the development of Anniston and of north Alabama, and will make @ strong race.
 Colonel McKleroy's re-entrance into active politics is an event of note. Since his last race for governor, in 1886, he has devoted himself to business. He is the only announced opponent of Hon. c. A. Robbins of Dallas, the present incumbent. The race looks now as if it would assume the shape of Dallas and Calho un locking horns.

SAD pIsTuRsgR OF DIGNITY.
A Long Rayeling Trailing Behind Man
 Bound to Make Him Ridiculous.

Long Raveling Trailing Behind Q Man
 Bound to Make Him Ridiculous.
 Among the little things that detract from mans dignified appearance, such as his necktie crawling up to his ear, one cuff showing two or three inches more than the other, or his vest buttoned wrong, quite the funniest is great long travelling trailing over him. One rather expects to find woman covered with scraps and rayelings-trophies of her housewifery- but can scarce repress a smile when a mans dignity is marred by such evidences of domesticity.
 attended lecture some time ago that was really an eloquent masterpiece. l sat near the lecturer so that might see every expression of his intellectual face, and I am sure that I should have thorough ly enjoyed the address had 1t not been that long white thread dangled on his coat sleeve. When he became earnestly en- thusiastio, the string swung and whirled violently, and when he grew pathetic it waved slowly back and forth as if em- phasizing the pathos. l tried to pay at tention and I looked at the mans face and endcavored to sympathize with his subject, but as soon as looked away from the raveling was consumed with the de-
 
 before I realized it I was watching the thread and it's motions as if entranced.
 You have probably had experience with some little thing that wholly distracted your attention from subject upon which you are anxious to fix your mind and realize to what degree that lecture was spoiled for me by silly little raveling. Have you never been one of a company that seemed almost convulsed at the sight of man with one of those innocent and harmless little threads on his clothesS A whole row of people at the National the other night laughed and filtered and got into regular glee because baldheaded man in front had raveling entangled in his sparse fringe of hair and trailing grace fully over his bald spot Yes, there is something incidentally funny about a raveling and man when they arc com bined.
