life-saving the Ell Captain is sadly deti-
cient.
Yesterday. while the ferry.b boat was on
her usual MONDAY run from the narrow
gauge mole to San Francisco, Gustave A.
Lundblad jumped overheard. He is con-
nected with the Contra Costa Laundry
and is well known to shipping men on
the water front. 1t was at least four
minutes before the captain of the Ell
Captain was notified of the attem pied
suicide, and it was at least four minutes
more before boat was lowered. In the
meantime women wrung their hands and
the wall from one end OF the ship to the
OF er was general. Strong men cursed
the deckhands and many fist was shook
in Captain Brooks face because he did
not lower boat.
All the latter could say was: 'Gentle-
men, l am doing everything possible to
save the man. You may not perceive it,
but the boat is gong full speed astern.
She was going full speed ahead when the
news reached the pilot-house, and, of
course, the headway has TO be overcome.
The boat is gathering sternway, and to
lower a boat now would mean loss of time.

steamer can beat rowboat, anyway, and
if you will keep quiet we will do all we
can.''
The captain of the Ell Captain was as
good as his word, and ten minutes later
the man who made all the trouble was in
the stoke ho.e of the steamer, with every
stitch of clothes off and his teeth going
like castanets.

WOMEN FIGHT A DUEL,
One Is Slain in Deadly Combat
and Her Antagonist Is
Dying.
Razor pitted Against Hammer in Strife
for a Wayward Husbands
Affections.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 14.-A special
to the Recorder from Tavares, Fla, says
Mrs. Robert Gresham is dead and Mrs.
Mollie Gaines dying, as the result of q
duel in which they were engaged near
Clermont yesterday afternoon. Three
months ago Mrs. Gaines was a happy
bride, and Mrs. Gresham, who was a young
widow. was her dearest friend. Two weeks
ago, however, this love was changed to
hate, for Mrs. Gaines discovered that her
husband s affections had been won by the
widow.
Mrs. Gaines learned on Saturday after
noon that her husband and Mrs. Gresham
had planned meeting at the latters
home. Taking her husbands razor the
young wife went to the widows home and
found the couple together. Gaines fed
and his wife sprang upon her rival, using
the razor with awful effect.
Mrs. Gresham picked up hammer and
defended herself as best she could, dealing
Mrs. Gaines blow after blow on the head.
Finally Mrs. Gaines reached her rivals
throat with the razor, severing the jugu-
lar vein and causing almost instant death.
Neighbors who came in found Mrs.
Gaines unconscious beside her dead rival.
An examination showed that the blows
from the hammer had fractured her skull.
Both women came from good families and
both were noted for their beauty.

KRUcER'S MAGKANIMyTY.
A Monster DeputatioH Calls Upon the
Transvaai President to Express
Gratitude.

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, June IA
President Kruger yesterday received a
monster deputation, consisting of the
Mayors of all the towns of South Africa,
which had been organized for the purpose
of praying for the release OF the members
of the Johannesburg Reform Committee.
Since the prisoners were released it was
decided that the deputation should visit
Pretoria and tender thanks to President
Kruger for his clemency. Replying to the
address of the deputation the President
said that he had only one authority to
guide him and that was that Book, point
ing to a large Bible, which had shown him
the direction to follow. The Africanders
were human beings and knew how to show
mercy. Referring to Cecil Rhodes, Presl-
dent Kruger said: "What must be thought
of a person who egged on dogs to fight
while he was sitting quietly and unpun-
ished? He the man who had caused all
the trouble, was free"
AT the conclusion of the speech the depu-
tation gave three cheers for the President,
the Government of the TransYaal and Mrs.
Kruger.

CUBAN DISSENSIONS.

President CiSnero May Be Forced to Re-
sign In Favor of Garcia.
NEW YORK, N. Y, June IA special
cable to the Herald from Havana says:
The Herald's correspondent in Puerto
Principe confirms previous reports of the
existence of dissension in the rebel ranks.
Cisnero, the President, is accused of lack
of frmness in civil affairs and he will prob
ably be forced to resign in favor of Calixto
Garcia.
In that event Jose Maceo will be recon-
ern districts.
Gomez as soon as he returned to Puerto
Principe province placed the insurgent
civil authorities thereof under arrest and
court-martialed and shot the provincial
treasurer. Manuel Gonzalez, on a charge of
embezzling cattle tax funds amounting to
$15,0 900 or more.
Gonzales secretary and several subor-
dinates were also shot as accomplices.
The correspondent says that the trouble
between Garcia and Jose Maceo orig
mated in the latter's contis-
cation, and use by his own troops
OF the greater portion of the
arms and ammunition which Garcia
brought to Cuba in the Bermuda expedi-
ton. Garcia resented this, and, asserting
his superior authority, in virtue of his ap-
pointment by the New York Junta, at
tempted to depose Maceo, when the latter
sent fast runners with a complaint to
Gornez
