Cincinnati, Aug. 1S-A special to The
Commercial-Tribune from Wheeling, w,
Va, says: Ex-Governor Fleming has re-
turned from Parkersburg, where he had
been in consultation with Judge Jackson
and announces that the Judge has given
new construction to his Injunction
against the strikers in the Fairmount
region, and in the Loup Creek valley,
which makes it mandatory upon the
strikers to discontinue all marches, the
marching being considered a form of
intimidation. The miners are as yet pay
ing no attention to this feature of the
injunction and marches were made at
Fairmont and New River yesterday by
forces led by O'Connell and Dilcher re-
spectively. In the Kanawha valley five
more mines with $50 men went to work
yesterday. Dilcher and the organizers
have moved UP to Loup Creek. At Fair
mont the camp at Montana mines gained
100 strikers. The situation is about this:
when the marchers are around the men
come out of the mines; when the march,
ers move off the men go back to work.

DUELS IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Some Curiosities of the Code in Scot
 land-Rollicking Good Humor in
 Irish Duelling.
 The last duel fought in England took place near Egham in 1852. The prnci- pals were two Frenchmen-C Gourmet, formerly officer in the French navy, where he distinguished himself and Barthelemy, an adventurer, formerly condemned to the galleys, and at the time of the duel the keeper of a house of ill-fame in London. Gourmet had brought from Paris an important pack ct for Barthelemy, but, hearing of his character, simply sent 1t to his ad- dress and declined to have any inter- course with him. On several occasions afterward he publicly showed his con- tempt for him. This led to a pistol du- el, in which Gourmet, a notorious duel ist, was killed Barthelemy and the seconds were tried for the felony and sentenced to two months imprison- mnt. Convicted two years later of an atrocious double murder near Fitzroy square, Barthelemy ended an infamous career on the scaffold,
 Many duels have been fought by Englishmen on the continent during the last fifty years.

A young Englishnan, who fought duel in Paris under the empire with a young French viscount an expert fencer, was himself Angelo's best pu- pill, and had much the best of the en- counter.
 The Scots took practical view of du- cling. Under the Stuarts @ license was necessary to fight duel; to kill man without one was murder.

The most savage duel ever fought in Scotland or elsewhere was the one between Sir Euan Lochiel and an English colonel, Pellew, when, after fighting till their swords flew out of their hands, they locked in a close en- brace, and Lochiel, the weaker of the two, falling underneath, tore several ounces of flesh out of the others throat with his teeth, keeping them there like wild beast, and declaring until his dying day that "he never tasted a sweeter morsel."

106 LIVES WE'RE IN DANGER.
Guests in a Kansas City Hotel Awak-
 ened in Time

ened in Time.
 Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 21.--The Audi torium, one of the largest and finest playhouses west of Chicago, and the Auditorium hotel, one of the most fash ionable family hotels In the city, situat- cd at Holmes and Ninth streets, were destroyed by fire that started in the theater shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. The 106 guests escaped in safety. The loss on the property, which is owned by Alexander Frazer local business man, will aggregate $450,000, The insurance is $S5,00O Owing to high insurance rates a good deal of the in surance has been allowed to lapse.
 The fire, which originated in an un- occupied room on the sixth floor of the theater, from the crossing of cleo tric light wires, was first noticed by Night Clerk Haak who awoke the guests. They included many families and children of all ages, and the great est confusion ensued. For time it seemed that the flames would be con fined to single floor, but as it appar- entity had been gotten under control, 1t burst forth again and defad all efforts of the firemen. Many of the guests, as- sured that the fire would not spread, returned to their rooms.
 Delay in getting continuous stream on the fire, however, enabled it to get beyond the firemen's control. The flames spread rapidly along the tier of rooms on the fifth and sixth floors and soon communicated with the hotel through small apertures in the fire wall which separated it from the theater. Once in the hotel, the flames were beyond con- trol.
 The excitement broke out among the hotel guests afresh and hurried scram- bles to save personal effects ensued. Everything available was pressed into service as receptables for the valuable, and before the guests had been ordered from the building a second time, the bulk of their belongings had been car ried out More timid ones who had fled from their rooms in their night clothes at the start, were given quarters in a neighboring hotel.

THORN AGAIN on TRIAL.
Seven Jurors Secured Before Court
Adjourned For the Day

ADJOURNED For the Day.
New York. Nov. 22.-Martin Thorn, in
dicted with Mrs. Augusta Mack for the
murder of William Guldensuppe. was
again placed on trial to-day in the GRIM
inal branch of the queens county supreme
court at Long Island City.
Thorns first trial begun two weeks ago
was interrupted and had to be abandoned
on account of Juror Larsen becoming Sc
riously i'll.
There was a repetition to-day of the
scenes which marked the opening of the
trial. The main floor and the galleries
of the court room were crowded with law
yers, talesmen and reporters and news
paper artists. Deputies were stationed at
all entrances to the court room and no
persons were allowed to enter without a
pass.
About $50 talesmen especially drawn for
the trial, were in attendance. They were
from the most remote parts of Long ISL
land and from their conservatism in the
corridors 1t was evident that they had not
read or heard much about the Gulden-
suppe murder This was regarded as fav-
orable to getting jury within a reason
able time.
The witnesses were not allowed to sit in
the court room, but were allowed to occu-
Ply seats just outside the court room door.
T,
of New York.
Since Mrs. Mack confessed that Thorn
committed the murder Counsel Howe has
been directing his efforts 10 try and fasten
the actual killing on Mrs. Mack, and to
this end he has called Mrs. Zeigler as a
witness. She will testify that as early as
March last, Mrs. Mack tried to hire her
cottage at West Farms, telling her that
Guldensuppe was to live with her in the
cottage.
Mr.. Howe will endeavor to show by this,
that it was Mrs. Mack who was planning
to murder Guldensuppe al the time.
At the beginning of the first trial Mr..
Howe had prepared an elaborate defense
for Thorn. He refused to acknowledge
that a murder had been committed and
even insinuated that the defense would
produce Witnesses to show that Gulden-
suppe was alive in Germany after the day
on which he is alleged to have been muir
dered in the cottage at West Side, but
Mrs. Nack's unexpected confession upset
all of Mr. Howe's plans. This induced him
to prepare a new line of defense.
Thorn and Mrs. Mack will each swear
that the other killed Guldensuppe, and it
will be for the jury to decide which is be-
lieved.
Judge Smith, as soon as he arrived at the
| court house in Long Island City, sent for
District Attorney Youngs and told him
| that he was suffering from chills and ague,
and that rather than risk the possibility
| of a second mistrlal he deemed it better
| to telephone for either Justice Maddox or
| Gaynor to try the case. The first named
| was subsequently secured
At that hour Thorn was brought into
court and Judge Maddox took his place
| upon the bench. The panel of jurors were
| called and seven selections were made be-
| fore court adjourned for the day.
