WILL THERE BE A DUEL .
Suggestion Of One Between Logan
Carlisle and Blackburn.

WASHINGTON, October 7.-Political
Washington is torn by its emotions to-
night over the alleged prospect Of duel
between Logan Carlisle, distinguished
widely by the possession Of father
formerly a United States senator, and
now Secretary Of the Treasury, and Sena-
tor Joe Blackburn.
In declining the Lakeland Clubs recent
invitation TO discuss the issues of the day
with L.-C. Moore, young Carlisle went
out OF his way to fling taunt at Black
burn by saying the Lakeland Democratic
Club had done him more honor in asking
him TO occupy the same platform with
a negro than the "Popocracy OF Ken
tucl<y had done his father in asking him
To divide time with Joe Blackburn"
Blackburn was not In town when the
son of the father gave to the press this
example of what he believed the topmost
pinacje of wit and stinging sarcasm or
there would have been trouble before this,
II Is said An intimate friend of Logan
Carlisle's said tonight that Logan had
not received from Blackburn any intima-
tion of deadly purpose or any challenge

Kneeland Street Station in
Boston Burned.
Train Sheds, Passenger and
Freight Cars Destroyed.
Fire Started From an Overturned
Stove in Dispatch Room.

Boston, Feb. 17.-By the upsetting of a
stove in the Office Of the New York &
Boston Despatch Company, in the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
station on Kneeland street, a fire started
at ABOUT $3.50 O'Clock this morning, which
threatened to destroy the entire station
and surrounding buildings. BY good
work, in spite of the intense cold wealth
er, the nreinen got control of the fire be-
fore 1t had spread TO any extent and the
loss was confined to the train sheds and
express office, and VIII probably not ex-
coed $35, 900.
About 800 feet of the lower train sheds
and about 80 feet OF the main depot was
destroyed, together with three passenger
and four freight cars. A dozen passenger
coaches were badly camageu by water and
smoke. James Aver, 10 years old, mes
senger for the New York IL Boston Des-
patch Company, was badly burned about
the hands and face while attempting to
save some baggage.
The scene CT the fire is in the midst of
the most dangerous fire district OF the
city and this fact, together with the
knowledge that in close proximity to the
spot where the blaze broke out were stor-
ed 500 barrels of Kerosene, prompted the
fiTemen to ring in a general alarm. In ad-
dition to this. a high wind prevailed, and
almost the entire force of firemen la the
district were needed to protect the sur
rounding property. Several of the firemen
were victims of frost bites. The entire
loss is covered by insurance.
