French and Italian Princes Fight a Duel

The count of Turin (prinee of Naples)
and Prince Henri of Orleans fought IA
duel with swords at Paris. The fight
ing was most determined and lasted %
minutes. There were five engage
ments, of which two were at close
quarters. Prince Henri received two
serious wounds in the right shoulder
and the right side of the abdomen
The count of Turin was wounded in
the right hand. Prince Henri will re.
cover unless complications set in. The
duel grew out of certain criticisms
made by Prince Henri of Orleans upon
the conduct of Italian officers and
soldiers while prisoners of Emperor
Menelik, in Abyssinia.

Possible Eject of Canovas' Death.

The opinions as to the result of Can
ovas murder upon the political situa-
ton in Spain are various. Spanish
statesmen of the government side say
that 1t will make no change, but Carl
lists and those working to overthrow
the monarchy think their dreams are
about to be realized. Secretary OF
State Sherman is quoted as saying that
Spain was bankrupt country at the
end of its resources. and that it was
bound TO become a republic and that
Italy and other European nations
would soon follow in the same direc-
ton. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, a
leading member of the foreign affairs
committee of the senate and the cham
pion of Cuba in that body, predicts
that the assassination may be the fore
runner of complete change of govern
ment, republic replacing the mon
archy. On receipt of news of the as
sassination at Havana the city was
thrown into fever of excitement. 1t
was generally felt that the event
would have great influence upon Cuban
affairs. The Cuban junta in New York
expressed the feeling that Canovas
was more responsible for the outrages
in Cuba than was Weyler, and his kill
ing seemed to be an act of re tribution.
At the same time the Cuban party had
nothing whatever to do with the death
of Canovas and had had no knowledge
that such an act was even contemplated
by anarchists or any one else.

Congressman Ashley b. Wright
dropped dead at his home at North
Adams, Mass.
The mine company leased the ground
where the strikers were camped and
ousted them, but another field has
been secured by the strikers which the
owner refused to lease to the company,
and permanent camp established.
The activity of numerous bands of
Cuban insurgents about Havana is
causing great distress in that city they
seize trains loaded with supplies of all
kinds and the necessities OF life are be-
coming so scarce and high-priced that
many poor are on the verge of starva-
ton. The insurgents have fought sew
eral brief but brilliant engagements
with the Spanish troops and generally
come out with flying colors. Small
pox has invaded every Spanish warship
in Havana harbor and many sailors
are dying.

Through the kindness of Representa-
tive a. W. knoWlton of New burg. the
Journal has had an opportunity TO
examine an old House Register of the
year 1919. 1t is certainly most in
teresting document. Samuel Belcher
was then speaker Of the House. and
among the list of members are many
names that have since become Well
known in the life of the State. Mr.

represented the town of NeWburg at
that session. and boarded at the old
Mansion House, which, it is evident
from the distinguished gentlemen who
made it their Legislative home vas
then one of the leading hotels in our
city.
Another name which appears in the
list Of members Of that Legislature is
that of Joseph Kinsman of CornVille,
the grandfather of c. c. Kinsman. who
represented the same town in the
House of Representatives the past win
ter. SO far as we can ascertain from a
casual examination of this document.

A STABBING AFFAIR.
One Ledger Cuts Another in the
Lock- Up, Monday Night,
In a ffacas Over the Rights Of an Old
Man.

| There was disturbance in the lock
up. Monday evening. which resulted in
| one mans stabbirg another in the leg
| a serious affair that may send the
offender to Thomaston. There were
eight dodgers in the lookup at the time
and it was in a general melee that the
stabbing occurred. The man. who did
it, was promptly locked in a cell, and
will await trial. tomorrow
The man who was cut required med
zeal attendance. but the wound was
not serious. The names Of neither
could be learned, last evening
There We're six dodgers quietly sleep
| ing in the Lookup, as dodgers there
usually do. when two new corners were
ushered in by Patrolman Ward. The
latter says he saw the two men cross
the bridge in the direction of the police
station. and, On following them. was
| asked if they couldn't put up at the
station over night. He accordingly let
them in. He says they We're orderly.
and evidently not drunk; but that both
smelled strongly Of liquor One was
large. and the other rather below the
average size. 1t was the latter who did
the Stahbing.
Shortly after the admission Of the
two men. Marshal Morse and some of
the officers heard a din arising from the
lookup. They went in and found a
general row in progress. After they
broke it up, it was found that one man
was stabbed in the right leg below the
knee, and that the fellow who used the
knife on him was also cut on the hand
The knife was an everyday pocket
knife, but as sharp as a razor, and was
doubtless used for shaving
The trouble arose, say the dodgers. in
defence of the rights of an old man,
who was asleep on one of the benches
when the two men We're admitted. The
larger Of the two men started to pull
the old man off, when objections were
made by other dodgers. The large man
and one of the chief DIRECTORS began to
fight it out, when in jumped the little
one, and uses his knife. He was soon
down, and it was when preparing to
dance upon him, that the crowd was
broken up by the marshal and the
officers.
The old man says he is 81 years Of
age. ard was on his way from Wash
inston, d. c., to the Togus Home.
