MRS. HECKSCHER DEAD.
Sensational Duel Across the Canadian
Line Recalled.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Mrs. Mary Trav-
ers Heckscher. wife of John G. Heckscher.
and daughter of the late William r. Trav-
ers, died at her home in this city to-day,
aged ffty-three. Her first husband was
Henry Winthrop Gray, to whom she was
married when she was twenty years old.
The Grays were very friendly with John
G. Heckscher and his first wife. Mr.. Gray.
angered by gossip in the Union Club, got
into row with Mr.. Heckscher early in the
summer of 1873 over attentions which he
asserted the latter had paid to
Mrs. Gray. Blows were struck just
outside the Union Club and
the next day friends of the two men ar
ranged for a duel between them. The duel
was fought just across the Canadian line
from Rouse's Point, on June "a, 1873. Pistols
were the weapons and it. was agreed that
the men were to fire one shot each at ten
PAGES. AT the signal Mr.. Gray fired prompt
ly, the bullet just grazing the side of his
antagonist. Mr. Heckscher reserved his fire
and after the smoke had cleared away
he pointed his weapon at Mr.. Gray
and then suddenly throwing up his hand
discharged the pistol into the air. Mr.. Gray
subsequently obtained a divorce from his
wife in the Connecticut courts on the
grounds Of desertion. The first Mrs. Heck
scher died in 1891. In April of the follow
ing year Mr.. Heckscher and Mrs. Travers
were married in Philadelphia.

entraps her listener into the temporary

saving the place from capture by Colom-
bian rebels. The latter had demanded the
surrender Of the town and the governor
was at his wits end. Just then the Volum-
MIA was sighted. The willy governor saw
his chance to make bluff. So he sent a de-
fiant message to the revolutionists and told
them that the steamer off port was bring
ing 500 government troops. The trick sue
ceeded and the rebels abandoned their pur-
pose TO capture Tumaco.
