Paris. Aug. 16.-Prince Henri or Or
leans met Victor Emanuel the Count OF
Turin, yesterday morning, In the Bois de
Marechaux, at vancressan, and victory
lay with the Italian.
1t was the most notable duel that has
occurred In this half of the century in
volving two notable personages OF royal
Blood, and to the credit of both be 1t
said the fight was hotly and fairly con
tested.
There were five assaults, and in the
first the Italian scored, striking his op-
ponent on the right breast, but the skin
was hardly broken and all were eager
to continue. In the third assault the
prince made things even by reaching the
counts right hand, infiicting another
wound that was deemed trifiing, but in
the fifth and last assault the duel came
to an end, glorfously in the opinion OF
cIubmen, by the Count of Turin wound
ing the prince on the right side OF the
lower region Of the abdomen.
Both men, after shaking hands. walked
of the field, neither appearing to suffer
from the wounds inflicted.

across the street. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
were asleep at the time the fire was seen
by the neighbors. Mr.. Taylor is burned

DUKE OF oRLEANa

The condition of Prince Henri Is as
satisfactory as could be expected. The
doctors, after consultation, express the
opinion that no important organ wa
touched, but absolute rest Is necessary
for recovery.
The official account furnished by the
seconds recites fully the circumstances
leading up to the encounter.
The Count of Turin, considering the
letters Of Prince Henri of Orleans to The
Figaro offensive to the Italian army,
wrote him on July 6 demanding q re-
traction. This letter could not be an
swered until Aug. IL, the day Of the ar
rival Of Prince Henri in France. The
prince replied to the counts demand by
telegram, maintaining the right of a
traveller to record his experiences.
The official account then describes the
arrangements for the duel, gives the
names Of the respective seconds and
says: At their first interview they
agreed that the encounter was newt
able. BY common accord the conditions
were settled as follows:
The weapon to be the duelhng sword {;
each combatant to use that OF his own
country, but the blades to be OF equal
length; either combatant being at liberty
to maintain the ground he gains and
each to be allowed the space of Is meters
within which TO advance or retire; each
assault to continue four minutes: the
combat to be resumed In the positions
occupied and only 10 be terminate on
the decision Of the four seconds or the
advice OF the doctor, when one of the
n a t. a,,i In, 80 ta n
inferiority; the conduct OF the meetI>g Z
to be entrusted alternately to the two
parties, lots being drawn at commence
ment.
This latter feature OF the arrangeme ut
was due to the formal objection OF the
seconds Of Prince Henri OF Orleans 20
the direction of the encounter by n fifth
party. At a later meeting the seconds
decided upon the rendezvous.
The proces-verbal then proceeds To de-
scribe the encounter IL says that I'm the
first assault Prince Henri was hit In the
right breast, though the weapon did not
penetrate beyond the subcutaneous cell
lular tissue. On the strength OF the re-
port OF the doctors the seconds decided
that the combat must go on.
The second assault was stopped, be-
cause the combatants came into close
quarters.
In the third assault the Count Of Turin
was hit I'm the back Of the right hand,
but the weapon did not penetrate be-
yond the subcutaneous cellular tissue.
In the fourth assault the umpire. Major
Leontier. declared that the swerd Of
Prince Henri was bent and stopped the
engagement long enough TO furnish his

NOVEL EVENT PROJECTED.

A "smoking Race" TO BE Ono Of the
Features OF . Coming Picnic.
A meeting has been held by the commit
tee of Is, appointed by the Sacred Heart
T. A. and b. Society at It's last meeting 70
have charge Of the athletic events ct the
lawn party TO be held by the Sacred Heart
parish on Labor Day.
There was considerable discussion tou-
cerning what would be the proper pro-
gram, but nothing definite was done,, ~
the committee thought 1t should make out
the program carefully. Considering the
events discussed 1t Is probable that. there
will be slow race for cyclists, a potato
race, three-Iegged race, sack race, foot
races and s'smoking race"
The latter event is rather novel one i'm
this section. At the start the judge fur
nisEes each contestant with clay pipe
and a certain amount of tobacco. The
pipes are lighted just before the line is
crossed at the start and the contestants
run a certain distance and return to the
line. The first one to cross the line with
the pipe still smoking is the winner.
There will also be pole vaults, jumping,
tumbling, ETC., and 1t Is safe to say that
this portion of the program for the day
will be very interesting.

STRIKING MINERS WAITING
FOR THE RESULT OF THE LNJUNC
TON HEARING TODAY.
Large Mass Meeting Addressed by Gompers
Sovereign aad Other Leaders.

Pittsburg, Aug. 16.-A leadened sky
and fitful Showers contributed to the feel
ing of depression which existed at the
miners camps and Turtle and Plum
Creeks yesterday. The men huddled to-
gether under the commissary tents and,
having nothing else to do, put In the time
smoking and discussing the strike in all
Its phases. The spirit of aggressive
ness, however. has largely died out. The
same grim determination to stick 1t
out until starvation brings defeat or
victory Is apparent, but there are no
propositions to attain their end by force
or to 60 contrary to the sheriffs orders.
There was no marching yesterday.
This has been the usual custom at all
the camps OF Sundays. but even IL 1t had
been otherwise the strict orders Of the
strike leaders would have prevented
them. Sunday has usually been used by
the men to do missionary work among
the working miners. None of them at
tempted to see any OF them. however.
and kept severely away from the COM
pany houses.
The march into Westmoreland county
will begin as soon as the injunction is
settled In court. Much anxiety In sx-
pressed as TO the outcome. The men
stake everything on their ability to show
the right to assemble and march on the
public roads.
There was a large mass meeting at
Plum Creek. About 1000 strikers and
20 miners from the Plum Creek mine were
present. Speeches were made by Pres
ident Ratchford. Samuel Gompers. James
II. Sovereign and the local leaders. The
meeting was orderly and there was no
interference from the deputies.

FIRE IN PROVIDENCE.
Took Place Today and IL believed to Have
Been Incendiary.

Took Place Today and IL believed to Have
Been Incendiary.
About 2 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in the Hotel Arlington by the
policeman on that beat. He Immediately
gave the alarm and the blaze was ex-
tinguished with but slight damage.
The fire started in two unoccupied
rooms, and is believed by the police to
have been of incendiary origin. After the
blaze was extinguished some damp, partly
burned excelsior was found on the floor,
and it Is thought that this material was
saturated with alcohol and touched of
with a match.
The affair is surrounded with mystery, as
the night clerk and watchman on the
premises heard no noises In the rooms nor
had any one been In the rooms. The loss
is covered by insurance.
