Princess Chimay and Her GYPSY Quarrel.


LONDON, Jan 2S "A Vienna dispatch to
The Daily Mail says that a telegram just
received from Milan announces that the
Princess de Chimay, formerly Of Detroit,
and Janis Rigo the Hungarian gypsy
musician, who recently eloped with her,
have quarreled violently. The screams of
rage from the Princess de Chimay and the
forcible language of Rigo disturbed the
residents of the hotel where the two were
stopping, and they complained to the
landlord because of this noise occasioned
by these outbursts of passion. At the end
of one Of these quarrels the Princess de
Chimay packed her trunk and quilted the
hotel, leaving at once for Monte Carlo
She paid her own bill, but left RIGGS bill
unsettled. Rigo is said to be in an awk-
ward position since the departure of the
princess, for he is without funds, and has
no immediate prospects Of securing en-
ployment.

TRACKMEN KILLED.
Five Men Crushed to Death by Passing
Freight Train.


SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn, Jan. a8.-Tho
worst accident of Its kind that ever oo-
Cured in this section took place yesterday
afternoon on the tracks of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, near
the East Norwalk station. Five men en-
gagged In work upon the roadbed, In sf-
forts to avoid an approaching express
stepped directly In front Of local freight
running in the same direction as the ex-
press. Four of them were instantly killed,
and the fifth died Ave minutes after the
accident.
The dead are: James Powers Of South
Norwalk, section foreman; John Grifin
OF East Norwalk, section hand; John
Shea, Michael Spleen, section hand, and
an Italian laborer.
The colonial express, westbound, for
Now York, was coming through on time,
and as the train approached Foreman
Powers ordered his men to step aside.
They obeyed, and with Powers stepped to
an adjotsling track, which is used exclu.
sively for freight A local freight, also
westbound, came rushing down parallel
too, but behind the express short dis.
tance. 1t is supposed that the msn did
not notice the approach OF the freight Do
cause Of the clouds Of smoke and steam In
the wake Of the express.
The air was filed with fragments OF
human bodies, which were scattered along
the tracks as the freight rushed by. or
the five victims all but Shea died in

IN THE CONVENTION.

The Constitutional Convention to-day
discussed the report of the Committee on
Elections, which proposes to abolish as
sessments and poll taxes aud substitute
simple registration fee for voting, Some
of the members are opposed to any fee at
ALL The report of tho committee also
provides for administering an oath to any
voter who may be challenged, which pro-
vision is expected to make bribery and
corruption more difficult.
This afternoon the convention heard q
delegation who urged that more Of the
school fund be appropriated to negro
schools. Tho speakers were 7. M.
Williams and Rev. j. A. Jefferson. both
colored; Superintendent Tindale of the
Kent county Schools and Professor John
son of the Friends School, Wilmington.
Mr. Pratt said that the only question for
the convention to consider was the distrl-
button of the fund and provision in the
constitution against mixed schools.
Mr.. Hcrring asked if any of the colored
people of the State wanted mixed schools
and Mr.. Williams replied that tho negroes
themselves were unalterably opposed to
mixed schools and they treated such talk
as a joke. Dr. Pratt said that he had
mentioned the matter because in other
States mixed schools were not c joke but
reality. A memorial from the Eplsco-
palans Of Delaware opposing divorce was
presented to the convention to-day and
communication was received from the
Anti.W Woman's Suffrage Society of New
York, opposing equal suffrage.

CONGO SLAVES.
Tbeft LIS Punished I'm n Peculiar Why
Among the Natives.


From the New York sun.
Slavery is lot entirely a thing of the past
in the French Congo. White men do not
Keep slaves, but domestic slavery exists all
through that territory. Nearly every free
native has slaves, and often slaves invest
their little all in slaves. They are truly
servants of servants. Often when a slave
Is asked. Who is your companion?" he re-
plies, ''Oh. he be my Niger master 4
done buy him" There are slaves and half
slaves. The slaves are bought from other
tribes for salt and cloth and prisoners of
VAR are sold as slaves.
Twenty to forty native dollars will buy n
slave boy. The girls are little higher in
price. The price is about s. to SIS in Amer
iCan money. Nearly always the slaves
purchased are children, because they will be
more ooedlent to their master when they
grow up. One novel way exists among our
people OF procuring slaves in the interior.
1ney go there to trade with salt. Salt is
the most precious article in the market
some days distant from the coast. To at
tract attention the salt merchants leave
their baskets of matters of salt by the road
side and apparently go away, but in reality
Tide themselves nearby. The native cannot
resist the temptation very long. and soon
some one sneaks up to take lust little
hit If the owner catches the thief he
makes him pay slave or carries him along
with MIN as slave. Slavery is the punish
ment for theft among the Lulumbus, Beac-
ca and others in the interior.
Sometimes a small offense makes a slave
of the offender. For instance, when the
PEOPLE go into the bush to dry meat they
often return with new slaves. Each one
erects his own drying rack and keeps the
fire gong under it. Should any one pass
this place and make remarks about the
smell or look of the meat he insults the
owner and becomes his slave. One of our
former mission boys suffered this penalty
for his rashnes. and. though he was only
fifteen years old. he became the slave of the
rinsulted person. He will be his slave until
tthe man dies and then he may return to his
people. His people might redeem him for
The usual amount paid for a slave.
