To LESSEN THE DANGER.-The mum.
Der of fatalities that occur at Niagara
has aroused public interest to such an
extent that means are being devised to
lessen the danger of drowning acci.
dents. John S. Macklen has addressed d
a letter to Governor Black. in which
he advocates stretching q light wire
cable across the river just above the
danger line, which is below the line OF
navigation. He would run light
metal or rubber tube with bulbs at in
tervals along the cable. He also ad
yocates the use of incardescent lights
along the cable 80 that it could be seen
at night. A letter from William N.
Griffith, the Governors private secre-
tary. approves the plan, and expresses
the opinion that steps should be taken
in the matter jointly by the State OF
New York and the Dominion govern
ment. The cost would be less thau
$40 600.

A DEADLY DUEL.

The little city of Abbott and the sur.
rounding community in Hill coun Y,
Texas, is in high state of excitement
over the double killing OF two of The
most prominent men of that section in
duel at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
DR.. T. B. Carter, of Kufmann, and
Charles 2. Russell, of Abbott, both
heretofore friends and, in a measure,
business associates, met Tuesday after.
noon to dispose OF some business rela
tive TO laod transaction. The settle
ment OF the business ended in quar-
rel. They agreed, however, to meet at
| o'clock at the depot at Abbott for a
final settlement.
AT the appointed hour DR.. Carter ar
rived at the depot, accompanied by q
young lady friend. A few moments
later Russell appeared and step
ping up to the young lady, ask
ed her to withdraw, while he
had few moments conversation with
DR.. Carter. DR.. Carter, as she stepped
away, was heard to remark 'It will be
the sweetest moment of my life to die
in defense of my character.
Both men drew pistols. DR.. Carter
shot first and Russell fell to his knees,
but leveled b gun at Carter and fired
three shots, all taking effect. In the
meantime Carter kept firing. Both men
died within three minutes of each
other.
Russell was a widower and leaves six
children. Carter's family consisted of q
mother and brother. There are init
nations that the tragedy was not alto
gether the result of the land transac-
ton disagreements, but that the young
woman's name or character was in some
way involved. Nothing positive, how
ever, has developed under this head.

A Unique Hack Stand in New York
Which Awaits Orders From
the Undertakers.

New York, Dec. 4.-The most unique
cab stand in the metropolis is located
on Chatham square. The black line
of hacks fringes the curbs of Park row,
the old and new Bowery, and extends
into other streets, the overflow being
herded together in the spaces between
the diverging surface road tracks under
the elevated.
The square is dingy with vehicles
They are there to catch funerals.
Three or four times a week a long
string of carriages following the body
of some Eastsider passes over Brook
lyn bridge, and in nine cases out of ten
they are the carriages which are usu-
ally standing at Chatham square. The
great majority of Eastside undertakers
have no carriages of their own, and
Chatham square is their chief source
of supply. In the good old days, before
the frugal foreigners crowded out the
son of Erin, funeral hacking in the
neighborhood of the square was quite
profitable. Then many a s. note was
picked up for a trip to Calvary. Now,
all that is changed. While the ItaI-
ians want a string of carriages a mile
long after every hearse, they want
them for almost nothing. The funeral
fare has been knocked down to SO for
a morning ride to the cemetery and $4
for an afternoon outing, and just now
morning funerals are fashionable.

Diamonds Worth 100000
Escape the Customs Officers.

New York. Dec. 4.-AmanueI J.Lasar,
a saloon keeper of this city, and his
wife, were each held in s., 900 bail by
United States Commissioner Shields to-
day, on the charge of having smuggled
into this country $1OO, 600 worth of dia-
monds. They pleaded not guilty The
diamonds were seized on Wednesday
night at the Office of Max Lasar dia-
mond merchant in Maiden Lane. Col
lector Bigwell was very reluctant to
give any information about the arrests,
saying that he was afraid publicity
would interfere with other important
arrests that they are expecting to
make.
According to the statement made by

seized were purchased by Max Lasar
during his trip abroad last fall, were

Takes Strong Ground Against
Corporal Punishment
AT PRISON CONGRESS.
But Two Delegates Defend the
Use of the Lash.
They Are From Texas and Col
OradO, Which States
They Declare Produce a Pecu-
liar Brand of Criminals.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 4.-The opening
business session of the great National
Prison congress was held in this city
yesterday.
Captain Joseph Nicholson of Detroit,
Mich, was detained at home by sick
ness, and First Vice President Edward
S. Wright of Michigan presided over
the meeting. Warden Otis Fuller of
IOnia, Mich, read an interesting paper
on Prison Labor legislation in fav-
or of avoiding the working of convicts
on every possible industry by the state
His paper brought UP a discussion of
the New York convict law. Several
speakers took exceptions to the law
claiming that it was against the inter
ests of honest labor. The New York
delegation insisted that the law was all
right, having been decided so by the
laboring classes of New York and
adopted at their instance; and that it's
operation was entirely satisfactory to
all interested.
A lengthy discussion was also had on
What is the Best Solution of the Con-
vict Labor Problem?''
The debate was opened by J. w.
French, warden of the federal peniten-
tiary at Fort LeavenWOrth, who was
in favor of establishing schools in con-
nectiOn with prisons.
The most important subject dis
cussed, judging from the interest man
al Punishment"
This subject excited so much interest
that the chaplains at their afternoon
session almost forgot the object of
their meeting and drifted into the mat
ter again, and it was on at the time of
adjournment.
The only two men who came to the
rescue of the corporal punishment sys-
tenn, We're Superintendent Whatley of
the Texas penitentiary and Superin-
tendent HOyt of the Colorado reforma-
tory.
Both these gentlemen said that de-
merits and dungeons might work in the
east, but the Texas and Colorado horse
thieves and robbers had to be dealt
with more severely. Mr.. Whatley was
in favor of the lash" and Mr.. HOyt
advocated a spanking paddle" Quite
a number of wardens, including ]. w.
French of Fort Leavenworth, were op-
posed to corporal punishment.
At the afternoon session of the con-
gress the chaplatns held their meet
ing.
News was received of the death of
George H. Eickox of Jackson, Miss,
and the associations. drafted suitable
resolutions of respect. In as much as
the death left a vacancy in the presi-
dency, the first vice president, Rev.
VIM. J. Raft of Junction, Mass, was
elected as his successor.
The night session was devoted to
general debate by the wardens on cor
poral punishment and the reading of
papers.

MORE BLACKLIST SUITS.
One for $4,000 Filed Against the
Union Pacific

Denver, Col, Dec. A special to the
News from Ogden, Utah, says:
Following up the verdict in the court
of Judge Clifford in Chicago, November
18, awarding damages against the Chi
r. Ketcham, in the sum of $21, 500, be-
cause of blackIisting which prevented
his securing employment, there was
filed in the district court at Ogden last
night the complaint of John O'Hara
against the Oregon Short Line railroad
and the receivers of the Union Pacific
company, claiming damages to the
amount of $50 900.
O'Hara had been a conductor and
brakeman for 20 years at the time of
the A. r. U. strike in 1894, and has been
unable to get steady employment since
that time.
There will be about 80 cases filed here
on the same basis.
