put his petitions nearly in the form of a

his demands by saying, - Iord we do

senator bronson aud John u. Carroll
May settle That Way.
LEXINGTON. Ky, Oct. l3.-It IL stated
here, on what seems to bo reliable in.
formation. that State Senator Bronson
and ex.ChairmAn Of the Democratic
State Committee John D. Carroll are
on the verge Of a duel. The trouble
grew out Of the late Frankfort oonven.
ton, when Carroll caused Bronson's de-
feat by throwing his strength TO Evan
Z. Settle Of Owen county.
IL seems that Bronson had counted on
Carroll 10 nominate him and was mad
when his opponent was benefited BY
the withdrawal Of the Henry county
man. Reports say Bronson cursed Car.
roll roundly. land that Carroll coolly
told him to think over the matter
and send an apology for his remarks.
Bronson proposed TO settle them in q
personal encounter but Carroll refused,
and told him he should have time in
which to take back his Objectionable
language.
Letters have passed between them,
but It is stated by those close to Bron-
son that lac does not intend 70 retraci
what he said. and they see no way out
Of the trouble except in accordance
with the code adopted in settling such
grievances. Both are brave men. and II
the field Of honor is resorted to AZ the
only way Of settling the matter /, Il bo
