 Place in Same Room.

Junction City, Ark, Feb. H.-A desperate duel with pistols between party to a suit on trial and an attorney in the case, occurred in a crowded court room here today resulting in the dangerous wounding of both duelists.
 Bullets flew thick and fast for several minutes, and it is 8 miracle that many persons were not injured The exciting af- fair occurred in the court room of Justice Wright which was the scene of fatal shooting affray between two lawyers last June
 Today during the trial of case H. s. Powell, an attorney, and A. N. Garland became involved in heated argument, which culminated in both men pulling their revolvers and beginning to shoot. Both men were wounded, and when the smoke had cleared away both were lying on the floor weltering in their blood. Each re- ceived several wounds, which may result fatally. Both are prominent citizens
 On June 8, last, during the progress of a trial in the court room which was the scene of today's tragedy, w. B. Coffee, an attor- ney, was shot ard almost instantly killed by another lawyer named J. J. Sheppard Sheppard was subsequently acquitted.

WOMAN SUFFRAGlSTS.
The Thirteenth Annual Convention in Wash

Washington. Feb. 14-Susan B. Anthony called the 3Oth annual convention of the National Woman Suffrage Association to order at the Columbia theatre this morn- ing The decorations consisted mainly in the display of two handsome American flags, each with four stars, emblematic of the states which granted the right of suffrage to women. Prior to the general public session there was a meeting of the executive committee, which was more fully attended than on any previous occosion- Four states and territories were reported as not having paid up the necessary dues, viz: Alabama, Colorado and Utah, and in accordance with the rules of the asso- citation the delegates from them will be denied the privilege of voting.
 In Miss Anthony's address she spoke of the success so far attained in behalf of woman suffrage, and urged all those ident- flied in the movement to stand together for still better results. The grievances which the. women had against their common ene- my-man-today were as great and as many as the early colonists had against King George

 Marcy Guncavage testified that he was marching with the strikers at West Hazle- ton when the sheriff seized him. He beg ged to be let go whereupon the sheriff said: You seem good fellow; you had better get away from this as there is go- ing to be big trouble here today
 Michael Malody, the next witness, said Sheriff Martin stopped the men and held in his hand revolver. The strikers push ed ahead of the sheriff and the firing then began.
 George Reisiter, in a long story. of the shooting, brought out a fact not given be- fore, that at. the firing of the first shot the flag bearer at the head of the column of the strikers fell dead.
 Andrew Silver told how, after the volley fired by the deputies at Lattimer, a large number of them ran after the strikers and kept firing as they ran Under severe cross-examination he finally stated that he was at an artesian well at Hardwood when the firing took place. This well is quite out of sight of any part of the scene.
 Other witnesses examined today gave no testimony of importance.

guished themselves at Santiago de Cuba.

given to Rear Admiral Dewey. It is pur-
posed that he shall receive the thanks Of
congress and be promoted one grade. The
retirement of Rear Admiral kirkland on
Sunday last provides for him vacancy in
the grade Of commodore, and his nomina-
ton to this rank was sent to the senate
today. provision of the law authorizes
the advancement Of an officer one grade
upon receiving the thanks Of congress, and
Rear Admiral Sampson, 1t is therefore ex-
pected, will exchange his gunboat commits
sion, as his acting appointment is called,
for regular commission as rear admiral
Besides the thanks of congress and pro-
motion for Rear Admiral Sampson, he will
receive sword, and the men under his
command will receive a medal in comment
Grafton of their services in the battle. Rear
Admiral Sampson will be called upon to
name officers under his command deserving
Of promotion, and as soon as his report Is
received, some of the officers of his COM
mand will be nominated for advancement
in their present grades.

accordance with section 1895 Of the revised
statutes, proposes to give to each man "a
