A Duel with swords Witnessed by Fiv'
Hundred Spectators.

Hundred Spectators.
PARIS, March 17.-The st. Ouen race
course was the scene of duel with
swords which was witnessed by at
least 500 spectators, who were amazed
at seeing combat thus publicly carried
on. The principals were Signor Pint
the Italian champion swordsman, and
NJ. Thomeguex, an amateur of the use
of the weapon.
Both men showed remarkable skill
as swordsmen, and up to and including
the fifth attack neither was injured.
In the sixth attack, however, NJ.
Thomeguex was. slightly wounded in
the lip. The cause of the encounter
was quarrel between the men over
language used by Thomeguex disparag
ing TO PM concerning the latter's skill
as displayed in recent friendly as
sault at arms between the two. The
exhibition created a sensation.

AS WARM AS IN SUMMER
YESTERDAY ALMOST BROKE RECORD
FOR OCTOBER WEATHER.
Thermometer Reached SO Degrees
Summer Garments Brought Ont
Again-Temperature Elsewhere.

Yesterday was proclaimed, by the Oldest
inhabitants, as the hottest October day
within their recollection, and the Weather
Bureau statistics almost bear them out.
Only one October day during the last TWEEN
ty-seven years has been warmer, according
to the Weather Bureau reports, and that
was earlier in the month. On Oct. 2, 1884,
the maximum temperature recorded was
81. The high mark yesterday was sc.
The bright, warm day brought redivivus
of summer garments, and on the bicycle
again appeared the girl in the shirt waist.
Light coats were donned by the men, while
many vehicle drivers and street laborers
went about their work in their shrtsleeves.
Even after dusk, front doors in the residence
districts swung wide and people went back
TO the porches again. Bicycling to the coun-
try was in vogue yesterday the roads hav-
ing improved some over their dusty cond-
ton ri ten days ago.
The Weather Bureau officials predict fair
weather for to-day BY Saturday night
there will probably be slight fall in the
temperature. The warm weather is general
east of the Mississippi, but in the Northwest
it is cooler, slight snow having fallen in
North Dakota. Up in the Northwest terri
tory of Canada the thermometer yesterday
was as low as 8 degrees above zero AT
Helena, Mont, it was below the freezing
point. At New Orleans, where the yellow
fever is prevailing, it was not as warm at
any time as in Indianapolis. In Omaha the

in Indianap polls

The alleged brutal treatment of a private
soldier at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, has
created the stir that it has from the fact
that such instances of ferocity on the part
Of officers In dealing with the soldiers ire
most uncommon in the army to-day. AS a
general thing good feeling exists between
the officers and their men, and their reIa-
tons are uniformly agreeable. The old
idea that commander must be a terror
to inspire obedience and secure good disci-
plne has largely disappeared, and 1t Is
demonstrated at every post in the country
to-day that the more considerable and self
controlled method OF handling the regulars
counts UNNECESSARILY for the good of the
service. Evidently the officers at Fort
Sheridan had an obdurate and insubor1i-
nate subject to deal with and the story of
his Ill treatment may have been greatly
overdrawn. The matter Will be inveati-
gated without doubt, and If the captain
who ordered the prisoner to be dragged
from the guardhouse to headquarters is
found guilty of using severer means than
the case required, he will be dealt with
accordingly. The department commander
can be depended upon to take such action
as will be necessary to preserve the reDu-
tation the army enjoys of employing rea-
sonable and intelligent methods In enforce
ing discipline.
