DESPERATE DUEL.
A Woman Kills Another Who Won
Her Husband.

NEW YORK, June IA special
to the Recorder from Tavares, Fla,
says: Mrs. Robert Gresham is dead
and Mrs. Mollie Gaines dying, as the
result of duel in which they were en-
gagged near Clermont yesterday after
noon. Three months ago Mrs. Gaines
was a happy bride and Mrs. Gresham,
who was a young widow, was her dear
est friend. Two weeks ago, however,
this love was changed to hate, for Mrs.
Gaines discovered that her husbands
affections had been won by the widow.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Gaines learned
that her husband and Mrs. Gresham had
planned a meeting at the latter's home
Taking her husbands razor, the young
wife went to the widows home and
found the couple together. Gaines fled
and his wife sprang upon her rival
using the razor with awful effect Mrs
Gresham picked up a hammer and de-
Tended herself as best she could
pounding Mrs. Gaines on the head
Finally Mrs. Gaines reached her rivals
throat with the razor, severing the jug
Iir vein and causing almost instant
ceath. Neighbors who came in found
Mrs. Gaines unconscious beside her
dead rival. Examination showed that
tu-ed her skull. Both women came
from good families and both We're noted

mistaking the party's position on the
money question"
Mr.. Plat has been in conference all
day with representative men, not Nc
Kinleyites however, he was careful to
explain, with reference to the financial
plank. He found a gratifying respon-
siveness to his insistence that the plat
form should declare for the single gold
standard. They are here from the Da-
kCtas, Indiana, Illinois and other West
ern States which are known to be sat
urated with silver sentiment. These
conferences encouraged him to believe
that a majority of the convention
would not only favor the gold standard
but would urge a declaration for it,
The anti-McKinley men at the Illi-
nois headquarters are greatly exercised
over the report that the IS uninstructed
delegates from that State are likely to
join their associates and vote as a unit
for Mckinley. Fourteen of these gen.
tlemen were known to be opposed to the
Ohio candidate, but were not ham,
pered by their district with instruc-
tions 1t now appears that the Nc
Kinley sentiment in their localities is
so strong that not only have they moth
ing to gain by opposing it but every
thing to lose. This is the intelligence
which prominent local Republican
brought to ST. Louis to-day.

A stream of water has been playing
on the ruins all day, but the danger of
a further spread is past. Following is

COCK-FIGHTING.
Sacramento Sports Gather Coin From
San Francisco and San Jose.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-At the
break of day this morning a large crowd
of men who might have been mistaken
f. man hunters of Cuban insurgents
were observed skulking along the water
front in the vicinity of the Arctic Oil
Works. Each man carried a sack over
MS shoulder, and as they nimbly leaped
from the wharf to the gang plank of
tug which awaited them sound
money" of various metals clinked in
their pockets. After the crowd of mys-
terious passengers increased it was
learned from the fragments of CONVEX
sation carried shoreward by the breeze
that they were sports, dead game
sports" from Sacramento, San Jose and
this city; that the sacks which they
carried contained highly bred game
cocks and that the money which they
jingled was to be bet upon their favor
ite birds.
The tug was quickly hitched to a
barge and start was made for quiet
waters near Sausalito 1t was about
II O'Clock when the battle ground was
reached and the owners and handlers

arranging the spurs on the best toes of

CULLOM VISITS MCKINLEY.
Is Not Sure of the Latter's NOmina-
ton by Acclamation.

CANTON, June 14.-Unfted States
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom of Illinois
paid a visit to Governor Mckinley to-
day. The two gentlemen were in close
conversation for quite a while, but as
to the nature of the conversation it can
only be conjectured as neither gentle
man would talk on this point. Senator
Cullum said he was on his way home
from Washington to Springfield. He
may attend the ST. Louis convention,
but has not at present decided upon
doing so. He said the visit to McKin-
ley was a social one. He thought
Mckinley would be the nominee, but
was not sure as to his selection by ac-
clamation. He said the fira plank
in the platform would be short and de-
cisive for sound money Tariff with
reciprocity will be favored, he declared
and the platform will doubtless say
something on the Cuban question, ex-
tending sympathy with the people.

HAVANA. June 14.-Thomas Daw-

ago on the charge of being in communl-
cation with the rebels, has been re-
leased from Moro Castle, where he hao
been confined ever since he was taken
into custody.
Incomplete details have been received
of a battle at Navasajo. Unofficial re-
ports state that Gomez was in COM
mand of the rebels, who numbered 5,OOO
men. He made a maneuver with the
intention of leading the Spanish COM
mander to believe that he intended to
surround the troops, who were en-
camped on the plains of Saratoga The
maneuver failed of the desired result,
which was to compel the Spanish troops
to retreat The rebels then attacked
the troops with machetes, but the lat
ter repulsed their charges. The battle
is said to have lasted forty-tWo hours.
General Goderi with strong Spanish
force arrived on the scene, and with
his assistance the troops succeeded in
forcing the rebels to retire. The rebel
loss is said to have been 800, while the
troops lost only fourteen killed and
two officers wounded and thirty-two
soldiers wounded Later details may
place the engagement in an entirely diff
ferent aspect The battle is said to
have been similar to that which took
place at Guasimas in the last war

DELEGATIONS CAUCUS.
Planks Adopted to be Submitted to
the Convention.

ST. LOUIS, June 14-Many of the
State delegations caucused during the
day and elected their Chairmen and
made ASST Signments to the respective
committees on resolutions, credentials,
etc. Some of them also adopted pIanks,
which they propose to offer in the con-
vention- The Pennsylvania delegation,
with the approval, it is said, of Senator
Quay and of Governor Hastings adopt
ed the following:
Resolved, That district representa-
ton in future Republican delegations
shall be based upon the vote cast in
each district for the Republican cleo
toral ticket at the preceding Presiden-
tial election; provided that each dis
trict shall have at least one delegate
and each State shall have four dele
gates at large. The ratio for district
representation in the convention tof
1900 shall be one delegate for each
1000 Republican votes polled this year
for the party electoral ticket, with an
additional delegate for a fraction ex-
ceeding half thereof In case any
State entitled to more than one member
of Congress has not been divided into
Congressional districts its representa-
electoral vote for the entire State by
1000. Hereafter each National Con-
vention shall fix the ratio of representa-
ton for the succeeding National Con-
vention."
If this plan should be adopted it
would effect a reduction of seventy
nine votes as follows: Alabama 9. Ar
kansas 6, Florida 2, Georgia II. Idaho
l, Louisiana 6, Massa achusetts 2. Mis-
sissippi Z, Nevada 1, North Carolina ).

ASTORIA (Or.), June 14.-RepOflS Ol
fresh outrages by striking fishermen
near Clifton were received by mail to-
day and show that grave cause for
alarm exists. Sheriff J. w. Hare of Clat-
sop County was urged to dispatch more
patrol boats and an additional force
of deputies to the scene of the riots.
These advices state that several fish
ermen started out in their boats this
morning. Among them was Vincezo
Mardesich, who laid out at daylight,
drifting by Woody Island. Early in the
forenoon several boats came sailing to-
ward him and before he realized what
their occupants wanted he was ordered
to drop sail. The raiding party, which
numbered a score of men, took charge
of his boat and towed it into Woody
Island Slough Some of them jumped
into the boat and threw Mardesich's S
fish overheard, forcing him to assist
iE the outrage himself.
The owner of another boat had caught
eighty fish and as the current was
strong, started home through some of
the sloughs of Woody Island. He was
captured and beaten; his rifle was
taken from him and all his fish thrown
overheard.
Upon receipt of this news Sheriff
Hare Immediately had number of dep
uties sworn in and dispatched them to
the scene in a steam launch which will
be used as an additional patrol boat
until the expiration of the canning sea-
son. The deputies are known to be good
marksmen and expected to lend ma
terial assistance in putting a stop to the
iawleSS acts on the river.
1t is rumored to-day that a break in
the ranks of the fishermen is likely to
occur, many of the men being willing
to accept the cannery mems offer of
Az cents a pound. They are excited

meters up the river, where $50 per day
