SWORDS FOR Two,
Count of Turin and Prince Henri
&5fs Fight q Duel

Count of Turin nnd Prince Henri
Fight a Duel.
Parls, Aug. 1.-THE count Of Turin
ana Prince Henri of Orleans fought q
duel with swords in the Bots de Mare
cnauA, at Vacressin. NJ. Leontieff act
ed as umpire. The fighting was most
determined and lasted twenty-six min
utes. There were five engag ements,
OF winch two We're at close quarters.
Prlnce Henri received two serious
wounds IN the right shoulder and the
rlght side of the abdomen. The count
OF Iurln was wounded in the right
hand. Prince Henri was taken to the
residence OF the Due de Charities and
received medical attendance. His con-
ultloh is as satisfactory as could be
expected The doctors, after consulta-
tlon' nave expressed the opinion that
~ important organ was touched, but
apsolute rest is necessary for recovery.
line details of the duel show that the
encounter was very sharp and deter
mined. Immediately on the crossing
OF swords Prince Henri vigorously
pressed his adversary. The count Of
Turin retreated to the limit of the
ground and then resumed the Often
slve, touching his opponent. The third
ana fourth assaults ended in long en-
gagements within guard.
line Temps says that the wound in
the abdomen Of Prince Henri is scri-
GUS but not alarming. Had the count
OF TURNS steel gone half a centimeter
deeper the lnteStines would have been
perforated
A Desperate Struggle,
Inc partles arrived at the place
agreed upon almost simultaneously.
Little time was wasted in the prepara-
tons. They fought in their shirt
sleeves, Prince Henri with bare hands
and the count with gloves. At the
word both started vigorously, so Wig
orously as to astonish and disturb the
seconds. 1t was a thrilling exhibition
of sword play, and j. Leontiff. de-
scrlbing it with extraordinary vivac-
1ty, says it was terrible. 1t aDDears
that Henri's sword was bent by a but
ton of the counts trousers. But for
this chance it seems there is little
doubt that the count would have been
run through, or at least dangerously
wounded. In fact the doctors and sec
onds thought this had happened.
Rejoicing Mt Rome.
Rome, Aug. 1.-THE news Of the re-
suit OF the due1 has been received with
the greatest enthusiasm. Crowds
filled the streets, cheering for the
count of Turin and the army, and
calling upon the bands in the public
square to play the royal hymn. Many
OF the houses are decorated with flags
IN honor of the result, and all the
newspapers have issued special edi-
lions giving the details of the encoun-
ter. Extra guards have been mounted
at the French embassy and consulate.
Congratulatory kilograms are show
cred upon the members of the royal
family from all parts of the country,
and many have been received from
abroad.

embalmer's art and the dry air process.
A mausoleum will be constructed in which
to store the bodies.
When the funeral services are over the
body is taken directly to the mausoleum
and placed in an individual vault. There
is no disturbance of the remains.
A small hole is bored in the head of the
coffin and a similar one in the foot. At
the head is inserted a rubber tube. This
tube connects with fan machine. The
machine is set going, and creates a blast
Of air which is blown over an open vat Of
suIphuric acid. The chemical action of the
acid upon the air is to remove all mois ture
from it, and the air is conveyed perfectly
dry into the tube and through the tube
to the interior of the coffin.
The tube at the foot is used to carry the
air off. After leaving the coffin the air
passes through hot furnace and returns
to the world through a tall chimney. The
object of the furnace is to kill any infec-
tious germs which the air might have
caught up in passing through the coffin.
For thirty days the human body lies in
a breeze. Then the fan stops, the tubes are
removed, the coffin is sealed and there
you are, and there you will stay as long
as time lasts. Each coffin is assigned to
a vault that is sealed or not, as the rela-
tives wish.
Mr.. Haughey made test last summer

April until Aug. s. The body was that
of John Wallace, who died at the city hos
pital. He was without friends, and the
body was turned over to the st. Louis
Embalmers' Association of which Mr..
Haughey is president.

Arthur Taylor, charging Booze with at
tempted bribery. Booze promptly retail
lated by going before Justice of the Peace
Wright and swearing out warrant,
charging him Taylor, who is a white man,
with adultery and living with a colored
woman. It seems that Booze undertook to
DO a little private detective work on the
Gruber murder case. and he was sworn in
by Sheriff Broward as a deputy sheriff in
order TO give him such authority. Mary
Jones is the name of the colored woman
with whom Taylor IS accused of living,
and she resides within two blocks of where
the dead officers body was found after
having been foully slain Booze has been
watching in that vicinity for some time
past, and for reasons best known to him,
seems to have had this house spotted"
The next chapter in the proceedings pc
Cured Friday, when Taylor had Booze ar
rested, charging him with attempted brib-
cry, claiming that he could produce num-
erOus witnesses to whom Booze had offered
$25 each If they would swear that Taylor
killed Gruber Booze says, in his defense,
that he secured a woman to assist him in
ferreting out testimony, and that she
gave him away to Taylor, and that this
was what caused the trouble.

TO settle these the original suit has been

The suit grew out OF some dficuity over
n brick block which Mrs Yagel erected In
Oneonta. She refused to pay the arch
