TWO BOSOM FRIENDS Fall Out Over a Trap Full of
 Rats
AND FIGHT A DEADLY DUEL
Two Corpses and Two Heart Broken WidoWS-Sad End
 ing of Two Lives.

SELMA, July 2S.e-[Staff Correspond ence. 1.-The peaceful little city of Selma was swept by q tempest of excitement to- day, which came in the shape of horrible tragedy.
 A rapid succession of pistol shots drew a large crowd of people 10 No. 663 Washing ton street, where they were told story and saw sight that made strong men bow their heads iu sorrow.
 Judd Day and Will Clark had fought q duel to the death.
 They were both prominent members of the police force of this city and had been for a number Of years bosom friends. They Were both respected and trusted by all who knew them, both in official and private life.
 They lived together with their families at modest cottage on Washington street, and this was the scene of the tragedy to- day.
 The affair was made sadder from the fact that their differences grew out of so trivial circumstance. Clark had caught some rats in trap and Day suggested that they turn them loose and shoot them. Clark wanted his terrier to have chance. This led to hard words and the men went back into the house.
 In few minutes Clark came to Days room and said: "One of us will have to leave this house.' Day replied, "All right, Clark, 1 will move.' Saying this, he turned to walk towards the door lead ing from the cottage into the street, when Clark drew his pistol and fired. The ball did not take effect, and Day ran to an ad- joining room for a pistol. He returned in an instant and the deadly duel began. Every ball was emptied from both pistols before the deadly encounter ceased. This was at II 80. Day died in few minutes. but Clark lived until nearly 1 o'clock.
 There is strange side to the story as well as sad.
 An examination went to prove that both men had received the same number of wounds, and four balls were taken from each body. The death wound of each was received In almost the same spot, while the two bullets that flew the mark were found in the wall within two inches of each other.
 The men were connected by marriage, Day having married Clark's cousin. They had lived in the same house together for a long time, and were in6eperable friends.
 It was not long after the report of the tragedy reached the business streets-ony two blocks away-before a Tremendous crowd gathered at the scene.
 By the time the crowd gathered the men had been taken to their respective apart ments and were In the agonies of death, with only a wall of the cottage separating their beds.
 The impressive scene came when their wives met, and the recovery of either had been pronounced impossible by the attend ing physicians. Mrs. Clark caught Mrs. Day in her arms and they Wept as if their

granted and Judge Woods order cheeks further proceedings of the government, but does not interfere in any way with the matters of contempt. The bond of the np- pellants was fixed by Judge Wood at $500.
 The grounds on which the appeal was asked were that the bill for injunction was not signed iu the name of the attorney general of the United States; that the bill was not supp orted by proper afidavits; that the subject matter of the bill was in- sufficient 10 the support of the injunction; that a court of equity could not rightly take cognizauce of things stated in the bill.
 In the case of the American Railway union, the same prayer was presented, and the whole case, including Debs and his brother officers and the union, will go to the court of appeals as soon as a bond is filed.
 The application for tue appeal was made by Attorney Gregory, in a letter to Judge Wood written two days ago.

JOINT DEBATE AT EDwARDsviLLE

JOINT DEBATE AT EDWARDSViLLE.
 EDwARDsvILLE, July 2S.-[Special Cor respondence. ll-Hon. Gaston A. Robbins and Hon. J. B. Graham have just closed their canvass in this county. Congressman Robbins made three speeches in this county, in which he clearly defined democ- racy, as well as Kolbsm; but the latter was not agreeable to Kolb's friends. His defense of democracy and of Colonel Oaies' position, however, was so convincing that 1t could not be answered. There is no diff hcuity in knowing where to find Robbins; he is DO stradder of issues.
 He divided time here with J. B. Sunford (Gold Thumb). MT. Sunford opened. Colonel Robbins followed and the grease soon got so hot that Sunford was willing. Robbins' speech was listened to attentively by all and was masterly effort for democ- racy.
 MT. Powell followed Robbins with a harangue of jokes and an tics until 6 D. m. 1, not making any argument, only indorsiug Kolb and stating that the remedy for the hard times was the purchase of tho rail- roads by the government and the issue of green backs by the government to the peo pie at 2 per cent, and mortgaging their farms, and in another generation the peo- pie would be happy aud prosperous. Alasi he placed the relief too for off to suit our people. He said this would all be done when the populists elected a president and congress.
 Hon. J. B. Graham made two telling speeches in this county, rallying democrats and rattling Kolbites.

 McMAsTER.
 The following from the Cherokee Senti- nel will be immensely relished by the peo- pie of Birmingham:
 'tNeither Captain Kolb nor MT. Adams arrived, as they could not make connection with the trains from the points where they spoke yesterday. But Colonel McMaster, a recent convert to Jeffersoniau democracy, e brilliant lawyer of Birmingham, was present and delivered a masterly address, replete with unanswerable arguments. He spoke for two hours and held the closest at tention of his hearers.''

THE FRENCH SENATE
AND CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES PRoRoGUED.

AMIsCoUNT OF VOTES.
 PARIS, July 2S.-The senate aud chamber of deputies were formally prorogued today, the decree closing the session being read in the senate by M. Uuerin, minister of justice, and in the chamber by Premier Dupuy.
 Prior to the closing of the session of the chamber of deputies President Berdeau an- nounced the resolution of inquiry as to the miscount of the vote on M. Jaure's amendment on Wednesday. He stated that it had been found that some members had put two and some three voting papers into the ballot box, instead of one, as was required. He said that the secretaries had also made mistakes in counting the votes.
 M. Rouanet said, therefore, the govern ment majority on the amendment seemed to have been reduced to a single vote, in- stead of forty, as had been announced.
