MISS BELAGUER's SAD PLIGHT.
Young Woman of UnsOund Mind
May Cause Interstate CompIica-
tfOUa.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. 1.-THE case
of Miss Concha BaIaguer is a most re-
markable one, and promises, sooner or
later, to bring about more or less COM
plications between the Georgia and
South Carolina authorities. Miss Bal
aguer belongs to a well-known family
of this city. Some years ago she lost
her mind, and made a great deal of
trouble for the Atlanta police. A few
days ago the authorities there returned
her to her home in this city. She
promptly proceeded to make an effort
on her own initiative to take possession
of the police department here, and the
city authorities at once had her re-
turned to Atlanta, members of her own
family alleging that IL was impossible
to have her legally placed under re-
straint. While native of South Caro-
lima, Miss Balaguer has resided in
Georgia for a number of years, and a
Question arises as to which of the states
is really responsible for her care and
maintenance should 1t develop that she
is hopelessly insane. Just what the po-
lice department of Atlanta will have
to say about it when they find them
selves once more in possession of Miss
Balaguer has not yet developed, but 1t
is not at all improbable that they may
wish an official explanation from pri-
vate and public sources here of why the
young lady should be cast upon their
mercies.

BAKERS MAY STRIKE AGAIN.
New Outbreak of Old Trouble
Threatened at Charleston.


Charleston, s. c.. Aug. 1.-THE
troubles which recently existed between
the bakers of Charleston and their en-
ployes, threaten to break out afresh.
General Organizer T. M. Eilemann of
the German Bakers and Confectioners'
International Union arrived here to-
day, and at once began consulting with
the local leaders of the order. Pretty
much all of the striking bakers had
returned to work, but it is believed
that a number of the men may be in
duced to begin offensive operations
again if they are counseled to do so
by the visiting representative of the
international organization. A meeting
OF the bakers was held tonight, which
was addressed by Eilemann, but Moth
ing was given out for publication con-
corning what was done.

frau, but so far no one has been
thought of who quite fills the bill. Then
again, she is much missed on account
of her knowledge of the code"
There is no one now who can be of
such service in giving advice on dis
puted points. There are old and tried
duelists, to be sure, who are authori-
ties in their way, but the decision of
Frau Pietsch had become to be con-
sidered as law. Really, society there
suffered severe loss when that talent
ed woman was sent to a dungeon cell.
Frau Pietsch was fortunate in the fact
that no one of the many who received
their wounds in her house ever died
there. Several died as the results of
duels fought in her parlors, but they
reached their homes or the homes of
friend before they gave up the ghost.
One result of the arrest and imprison-
ment of Frau Pietsch and the attention
which has thereby been called to the
prevalence of dueling in Vienna is that
the Emperor has called upon his ad-
visors for suggestions as to how best
to suppress the practice. III IT could be
made questionable the thing would
be done, but as it is even the power and
influence OF the Emperor seem to be
futile when opposed to the custom. 1t
is said that most stringent orders will
be issued against dueling in the army,
and severe penalties provided for any
violation of them. The laws against
dueling by civilians will be amended
and made more severe, and the Emper
or will call upon all the members of
his court TO frown upon the practice
and endeavor to create a public senti-
ment against it. At present, however,
public sentiment is all in favor of duel
ing. and such laws as there are on the
statute books are now seldom enforced,
while fashionable people are inclined
to look upon Frau Pietsch as a mar
tyr.

once more into gaycty ON Easter day.
