injured. Thomas Waldron was shot
through the nose, and John Guthjahr
was shot through the shoulder. Other
shots went astray.
All the victims are at the hospital and

WHAT NAVY GUNNERs. DID.
Rendered Great Aid In War In South
Africa.


LONDON, March 3O.-The Gazette this
evening contains dispatches from Rear
Admiral Harris, commanding the British
South African station, reporting the pro-
ceedings OF the naval brigades at Bel
mont, Gras Pan and Colenso. They throw
little new light on the battles, but show
that the courage and determination of the
naval men were beyond praise, and that
their assistance to the military authori-
ties was invaluable Lieut.. Archibald
Dear, Of the third-class cruiser Philomel,
in the report of his proceedings with four
naval guns at Gras Pan, where he was
detailed to attrack two strong kopjes on
either side of the railway, relates how,
after two hours shelling, he received
orders to retire. He continues:
1.-The Royal artillery on the right had
already moved off when l got the order,
and the Boer gunners, having got our
range accurately, were pouring in on us
such an effective shrapnel fire that I
judged 1t to be impossible to carry out
the order without leaving the guns, or
suffering very heavy losses. L therefore
continued to fire on the Boer guns with
such effect as to put them out of action,
first one and then another. From fifteen
to twenty minutes at time their shells
burst with the utmost accuracy. Our guns
and ammunition train were spattered all
over with shrapnel balls, but owing to
my system of making all hands lie down
when the Boer guns flashed we had only
six wounded when, after an hour and
a half, the Beers abandoned their posi-
ton
Admiral Harris expresses great pride in
the conspicuous gallantry Of both the
sailors and the marines.

PROPOSED DUEL OFF.
Paris Society Disturbed Over an
Affair of Honor.


PARIS. March S1.-Under the caption
"a Partisan Incident" the Figaro pub
fishes today some correspondence be-
the Marquis de Lubersac and Baron
Robert de Rothschild. eldest son of Baron
Gustav, together with an account Of un-
successful negotiations for duel.
A quarrel of long standing exists be-
tween these two young men. Last Mon
day Lubersac wrote Rothschild a violent
and insulting letter, reminding him that
years ago he had told him certain un-
pleasant truths, but that, both being
minors then, a duel was impossible -Lu-
bersac asks If Rothschild has not now
attained his majority, and says:
II shall be obliged to you for any in
formation, as I have searched in vain for
your baptismal certificate in all the par
ishes in Paris
The comte ends his communication as
follows:
You know the disgust you and yours
inspire in me, but, notwithstanding that,
l shall honor you to the extent of hold
ing myself at your disposal"
On receiving the letter the baron sent
his seconds, NJ de Saint Alory and NJ
de Noufliso, to the writer, who appoint
C9stellane as his representatives. The
seconds met and duel was arranged but
finally the friends OF COmte de Lubersac
backed out on the plea that Baron de
Rothschild was only twenty years of age,
although he had received his fathers per-
mission to fight, and is student at the
Ecole des Mines.
This regrettable affair is causing a PAIN
full impression in society circles.

BATTLE AT A COAL NINE
NON-UNION MEN ATTACKED AND
SEVERAL PERSONS WOUNDED.

DUBOIS, Pa, March 30.-The striking
miners at the Herald mines of the Rer-
wyn and White Coal Mining company,
attacked the few men who have remained
at work when they came out of the
mines today A miner named Dibblebis
and his two sons were attacked by a
crowd of men, women and children, armed
with clubs and stones, and were forced
to battle for their lives. Dibblebis was
reinforced by the other men who had
been working and both sides drew re-
volVers and began shooting. Over 100
shots were fired, resulting n the serious
Wounding of three persons.
Dibblebis received severe flesh wound
in the arm and a cut on the hand, and
a boy named Mcclure and a young man
named Doubleday, shot in the hand. Both
the latter belonged to the strikers.
The sheriff went to the scene at once
and arrested forty men and women who
participated in the fight, taking them to
PunXsutawney, where they will be given
a hearing tomorrow.
The strikers are in an ugly mood and
further trouble is expected at any mo-
ment. The sheriff is now guarding the
property and affording protection to the
men who are at work 1t Is not thought
any of the wounded will die.

A company owned by Klaw and Erlang-

brothers, presenting Rogers Brothers in
Wall Street." was playing an engage
ment at the theater. The fire interrupted
the progress of a rehearsal and twenty
men and women in costume were driven
to the street in haste. They were notified
of the fire before the department had
arrived, and was sending streams of
water into the upper floors where the
fire had originated. When an excited
stage hand ran into the theater and
shouted that the theater was on fire there
was a wild rush for the street and a
frightened crowd of performers shivered
in neighboring saloon while friends
went in search of suitable clothing for
them.
The carly part of the fire was marked
with gallant rescues of girls employed in
the laundry of the Iroquois club, where
the flames started. Two firemen climbed
the fire escape to the sixth floor, and car
ried the women, who had grown hysteri-
cal, to q place Of safety. The rescuers
were urged on by the cheers of thousands
massed in the street below The two
girls who n:~de the perilous journey
under the guidance of the firemen were
Frances Miller and Marie Ellis. The
others were escorted down the stairway
through the binding smoke.
FELL WITH A CRASH.
few minutes after the discovery of
the fire the roof OF the building fell with
crash and to many 1t sounded like o
great explosion. The collapse caused a
general stampede among the spectators
and In the rush a number were slightly
bruised. Later when the cornice OF the
front of the building fell several fremen
had narrow escapes.
The heaviest losers outside of the own
ers Of the building were Rogers brothers.
