DUELS IN A YEAR.
1000 Year In France and 2.759 Duels
In tho Last Ten Years In Italy.

1000 Year In France and 2,759 Duels
In tho Last Ten Years in Italy.
More duels are fought in Germany
than In any other country. Most Of
them, however, are student duels, which
eliminate in nothing more serious than
slashed cheeks or torn scalps. Of all
German university towns little Jena
and Goettingen are most devoted to
the code. In Goettingen the number
of duels averages one a day, year in
and year out. On one day several years
ago twelve duels were fought in Goet-
tlngen in twentyfour hours. In Jena
the record for one day in recent times
Is tWenty-one. Fully 1000 student
duels are fought every year in the
German empire. In addition to these
there are the more serious duels be-
tween the officers and civilians. Among
Germans OF mature years the annual
number OF duels is about one hundred.
Next to Germany, France is most CIV
en- to the dueling habit. She has every
year uncounted meetings, merely to-
satisfy honor" that is, merely to give
two men the opportunity to wipe out
insults my crossing swords or firing
pistols in such way as to preclude the
slightest chance of injury. In the duel
statistics the meetings are not reck-
oned, as they are far less perilous than
even the German student duela OF the
serious duels, France can boast fully
1000 from New Years to New Years.
The majority of these are among army
officers. More than half Of these re-
suit in wounds; nearly 20 per cent in
serious wounds. Italy has had 2,759
duels In the last ten years, and has lost
hfty citizens by death on the field of
honor. Some 2,400 Of these meetings:
were contaminated with sabers, 179,
with pistols, 80 with rapiers and one
with revolvers. In 974 cases the in
suit was given in newspaper articles or
in public letters regarding literary
quarrels. More than 700 principals.
were insulted by word of mouth. Po--
litical discussions led to $50: religious
discussions to 20. Women were the.
cause of 1879. Quarrels at the gambling
table were responsible for 1S9. A sum-
mary shows that, as regards numbers,
the sequence of dueling countries is:
Germany, France. Italy, Austria, Rus
STA. AS regards deadliners of duels It.
ally comes first. Then come Germany,
France, Russia and Austria, in the or
der named. For the most serious duels.
the pistol is the favorite weapon in ALI
five countries.

A spider KeeDs rime to Music.

At recent rehearsal Of the Apollo Male
Quartet of Coldwater, Mich, large spider
came slowly down his silken thread to about
the height of the singers shoulders, where he
hung suspended for few minutes. then be-
gan to move up and down in front of the music
rack. ..... -.
The second tenor, who was leading the air,
soon noticed that the movements of the spider
correspondent with the variations OF his voice,
up and down the scale, and in perfect time.
They then began a series of experiments,
and found that the spider would ascend or
descend about a foot for every octave. and
though the melody was carried ever SO
lightly, and the bassos Numbered in their
heaviest tones. the insect could not be de-
ceived but always followed the leading part
accurately and with the precision Of di-
rector's baton.
All kinds of songs, from Down in the
Cornfield' to "The Bridge" were sung to
test the ability of this wonderful little be-
ing, and each time he came out Of the
conflict not beat behind. At last the four
voices struck an awful discord, and instantly
the spider scurried up his improvised metro
nome and disappeared in the chimney.

FILED THEIR ANSWER.


The Commissioners aud Controller Reply
to the Taxpayers Association.
The County Commissioners and Controller,
represented by c. f. Berger, county solicitor,
William A. Mari and John o. Urich, Esq.
yesterday presented their answer to the bill
in equity filed by the Taxpayers Association.
In the matter Of the rule for a preliminary
injunction to restrain the Commissioners
from going ahead with the jail improve
ments, Mr.. Berger said an appearance had
been entered and asked for a continuance un-
ill next Monday when a formal answer to
he rule would be filed
w. A. Mari moved that the preliminary in
junction preventing the expenditure Of more
moHey on almshouse improvements be dis
solved. Deputy Clerk of Courts Duffy was
put ON the stand TO testify as TO the missing
order of court
The answer admits the averment in the
first, second, third and fourth paragraphs
of complainants bill, and the avements of
the fifth also, with the exception of that part
referring to architects contract, in which it
is stated that extras of the architect were due
to changes in the plans The answer says
that it is not true that the expenditures are
si63506 go ON account of almshouse improve
iuNuu0f uul tlit dlhouut Us but SOftEi4il IN all
orders properly chargeable.
In regard to the giving out of the contract
to the Electric Lighting Company without
advertising for bids they allege that it was
because the electric lighting system adopted
was of acknowledged superiority, and the
act did not require advertising for bids, and
that they were instructed by letter signed
by Judge Pershing, setting forth that in
opinion of Judge Bechtel and himself, the
Commissioners had right to make a change
in the system of lighting without applica.
ton TO Court.
In reference to the bills of the county sur
yeyor, J. w. Gcary, the reply states that hi.
salary is $500 and not $500 as stated, and the
work he did was such as comes within tht
duties of his office, and that the amount o
81 % paid to said Geary was not paid tC
him as surveyor, but was the wages of day
laborers employed at $l.25 per day to do tn,
excavation.
The answer is quite lengthy, and showi
that the officials have acted entirely within
their authority, and instead of exceeding tn,
limit Of the original cost they have expended
about $1,000 less They contend that they
have always acted within the advice o
counsel aud the opinion of the court in max
/ ing tie Improvements at the almshouse.

All the Buildings on Ellis Island, In
New York Harhor, Destroyed.
New York, June 15.-The United
States government immigrant station
on Ellis Island, in New York harbor,
was destroyed by fire this morning,
but with probably no loss of life. The
fire was first seen at 1888 a. m. by the
lookout from the harbor police station.
The fire spread rapidly. At 1905 a.
m. the caves along the entire roof
began to fall setting fire to the wooden
piers and docks on either side. At 1912
a. IN. the whole island was a mass of
flames iluminEing the entire inner
harbor and tlA lower part of New Yorl,
city.
The fire boat New Yorker was soon
under headway with fremen police
men and others, and the fire boat 70
phar Mills was sent to the island as
quickly as she could be made ready.
Later many persons went over in tugs
and rowboats.
The end Of the building in which the
fire started was used for sleeping
cooking and eating by the immigrants
The detention pen, in which there are
always a considerable number Of inn
Migrants being held for investigation
was soon consumed.
The main building, containing the
valuable records relating to the pas
sage of immigrants into this country
through this port, was totally de-
stroyed, with its contents.
At 1:40 a. m. all the immigrants,
about 200 in number, were brought
safely from Ellis Island to the barge
office on the Battery, the only persons
left on the island being the firemen and
a few attendants
The ferry boat John G. Carlisle,
which plies between the battery and
ellis Island, arrived at 1.5O o'clock this
morning from the island with the sick
from the hospital. There were 75 men
and 46 women and children on the
boat Twenty Of the women were sick,
one of them suffering from typhoid
fever, and said to be in a serious con-
dition with the party also were the
doctors and nurses.
