Fired on an American Cruiser.

Constantinople, Dec 22-When the
United States steamer Bancroft ar
rived at smyrna on the night of De-
cember 4, she was greeted with .
blank cannon shot and rifled bullets
from the fort OF Yenikale. A boat
from the warship was fired upon
and compelled to return. Thereupon
the American admiral lodged a pro-
test with the United States minister
here, DIR. Angel, who demanded the
punishment of the guilty parties and
an apology from the Turkish govern.
ment, which was given on Sunday Last
Two Turkish officers were dismissed
and sentenced to weeks arrest.

to supply the details in an exciting mar
rative, and to fill in with bits of pathos,
but the women, making due allowance
for the eXaggerations of a frightened
negro, had no doubt that they were now
in great danger.
"Shall we have time to dress. sub 2"
asked the lady with hauteur that,
under the circumstances, was pathetic.
'No; fly for your lives" said the con.
ductor, for even as he spoke he saw
couple of men riding under the apple
trees.
The women saw them, too, and,
throwing on whatever lay in reach in
the way of wraps, hurried over to the
train. The old negress, still telling her
story, went with the two women and
helped them into the caboose. Now the
two robbers who had ridden through
the orchard saw the trainmen and inn
mediately opened fire. The conductor
and the brakeman, walking backward,
kept the desperadoes back, killing one
of their horses. just as the trainmen
reached the caboose the conductor was
shot and fell near the rail. The rest of
Une Dhuu nau come I'D Une EeScue OF
their comrades. and now the lead was
raining upon the side of the car. The
brakeman, having dropped his gun.
stopped to lift the conductor aboard,
but he could not do it. Now this deli
cate young daughter of the south, see
ing the danger in which these men. her
enemies, had voluntarily placed them
selves for her sake and her mothers,
leaped to the ground and, with her
white hands that had never lifted any
thing heavier than a riding whip, helped
the brakeman to life the limp form of
the conductor into the car, while the
bullets rained around her. When they
had laid him upon the locker, the young
woman lifted his head and held ii in her
lap and so, as the engine backed away,
the conductor died.-N. Y. Sun.

wards of 80 spectators, who had driven
over the rough road on very cold
morning to reach the place. Up the
ravine, on the shore of the beautiful
lake, the seconds examined and loaded
the weapons and made preparations for
the duel. BY the toss of half dollar
Terry won the choice of weapons, the
distance was paced off and the prin-
cipals took their places. Senator
Broderick took the loose change from
his pocket and gave it 10 his second,
Col. McKibben, while Judge Terry
handed his loose coins to Col. Benham,
who scattered them on the grassy
sward. Both Terry and Broderick
were examined then by the seconds Of
their opponents to ascertain whether
they wore any coat of mail beneath
their outer garments.
Mr.. Cotton then asked If they were
ready, and having received an affirma-
tive reply gave the word to fire. Both
men quickly raised their weapons, but
Broderick's pistol was discharged be-
fore it was half raised and the bullet
struck the ground two-thirds of the
distance between himself and Terry.
1t was a line shot and would undou5.-
edly have struck Terry but for the
premature discharge of the weapon.
Within half a second thereafter a sharp
report rang out from Terry's pistol
and Broderick reeled. He trembled,
tried to stand, his knees gave way, he
struggled to an erect position, and then
gradually dropped upon the ground
with his face toward the sky, which
was lurid with the rays of the rising
sun.
Both pistols were set upon delicate
hair trigger, but Bernardo Dagoarde,
French expert, afterward declared
that Broderick's pistol had been so
lightly set upon the trigger that even
the breath of a man would have dis
charged it, while Terry's was the bet
ter weapon. While Broderick was ly-
ing upon the ground Terry's surgeon
assisted the senator's surgeon, but
nothing could be done for the dying
man. The bullet had entered the right
breast, broken two ribs, passed through
the left lung, over the heart, and lodged
in the armpit. IL was a ghastly-look'
ing wound, and, of course, a mortal
| one.
Davis. the owner of the ranch upon
which the duel occurred, tried to start
a riot, but he was quieted after great

TERRY-BRODERICK DUEL
Famous Meeting Recalled by Jus
tice Fields Retirement.
II Took Place in 1850 and Caused n
senshefon in All Parts of the
COuntry-How Terry Won
the Battle.
Especial washington letter.

Every day at noon the chief Justice
and the associate justices of the SUI
preme court of the United States march
in single file from the robing room to
the supreme court room to take their
places upon the elevated platform. One
of their number, for many years, was
Associate Justice Stephen j. Field, of
California, now about 80 years of age,
who was appointed associate justice by
President AEaham Lincoln in 1863. He
was a member of the supreme court of
the United States for "a years, a full
generation, and has but recently re-
tired.
Fifty years ago, Stephen j. Field was
one of the greatest lawyers on the Pa
cific coast, and was regarded as a man
absolutely devoid of fear. His per-
Sonal courage was such that for a
time he was practically the law-giver
and ruler of an entire section of the
country, all of the people in the vicinity
bowling before him as an oracle of law,
and magnificent embodiment of cour-
age. 1t is said that in that early day he
administered Justice with drawn re-
volvers lying upon the desk before him.

1859 when he killed United States SEN
ator David C. Broderick in duel. Sen
