DEATH ON CHURCH STEPS.
WAS MADE 4 DUELTNG GROUND BY
 BROTH ERS-LN LAW.

George Montgomery and Archibald Riley,
 Both Moving in High Society, Attacked
 Each Other With Revolvers-When They
 Met Each Began Firing and Kept 1t Up
 Until One Was Dead and the Other Dying.
 Versailles, Ky, May 26.-At noon to- day the steps of the Troy Presbyterian church, seven miles south of here, were converted into duelling ground, George B. Montgomery killing his brother-in-law, Archibald Riley, and be- ing himself mortally wounded by Riley.
 The murder was the continuation of a sensation that upset high society in the blue grass section three years ago, when it was said Riley seduced Mont gomery's sister and fled from the Mis- sissippi. He was brought back at the point of a pistol and forced to marry the girl. He immediately deserted her, and did not return to these parts until recently.
 Both men attended church to-day. There was a large congregation pres ent, the church having the most oul- tured and aristocratic membership in the state Both men began firing and continued firing until one was dead and the other dying. The congregation be- came panic stricken at once, and the widest excitement resulted.
 Scores of ladies tainted, and many were badly trampled The thing was done so quickly that no one thought of interfering. Both men were astonish- ingly cool Neither is known to have said a word before firing. After firing the last shot Montgomery turned to the bystanders, and said;
 Gentlemen, hated to do this, but was compelled to. My conscience is now easy"
 Riley was thirty years old. Mont gomery was twenty-nine, and unmar- ried. It is claimed that Riley had threatened Montgomery life, and both men had been carrying pistols for each other.

When the vessel reached Mapa, fifteen boat loads of marines went up the river fifteen miles. Captain Lunier and some of the men landed and the captain, carrying a flag of true, pro- ceeded with bugler and a sergeant toward the village where Trajane was held intending to demand his release. When they came into the presence of the chief, Cabral, the latter treacher- ously fired at Captain Lunier and or dered his followers to shoot the French man.
 A general fusilade was opened on them from all the houses in the vil- lage. Lieutenant Destoux, hearing the firing hurried to the village from the river with company, and conflict followed which lasted two hours. Cab- ral and sixty Of his followers were kill ed.
 The French lost five killed, including Captain Lunier and twenty wounded The dead and wounded were taken to the Benslian, which then returned to Cayenne, where the dead were buried with military honors. M Chautempts is now conferring by cable with the governor regarding the measures to be taken.

REALISM IN ART.
The Grand Coming Entertainment of the
 Governors Foot Guard.

GOVefnor'6 root Guards
 Under the title of Realism in Art'' an exhibition of tableau vivants repre- senting adventures and achievements of Americans will be given by the Sec ond company Governors Foot Guard, at the Hyperion theater on June 6, 2 and S.
 The assignment of characters has been made, but it Is proposed to keep them secret until the performance Is given.
 One scene to which particular atten- ton is being paid is that of bold Cap tain Arnold when he made demand for the keys to the powder house just prior to the Foot Guards departure for Bunker Hill. This scene will present the old green as it was in those days, and one result of this production will be to revive interest In New Haven s early history.
 There will be Puritan maidens and British lords personated by young la- dies and young gentlemen well known in society. One of the features of the exhibition will be tableau vlvant quadrille, and there Is little doubt that the standing room only" sign will have to be displayed nightly.

Grand Jury In sessinn.

Danville, H., May 26.-Tt is extremely doubtful if any of the mob which lynch ed Halls and Royce here early yester- day morning will be punished. Though none of the lynchers were masked, it is impossible to find any one who can iden- tify them. The coroner's jury last night returned a verdict to the effect that Halls and Royce came to their death by being hanged with ropes in the hands of unknown men. The grand jury Is in session and the matter will be brought to its attention, but there is scarcely probability that any indictments will be found.
