In London In 1903.

SanGulnary Duel That Took Place
In London In 1903.
Dueling in England In 1903 was often
a very sanguinary business.
On Friday morning In March OF
that year a most extraordinary duel
took place In Hyde park. London. be-
tween Lieutenant ". Of the navy and
Captain j. of the army. The antag-
onists arrived ut the appointed place
within Il few minutes OF each other.
Some dispute arose respecting the dis
lance, which the friends Of Lieutenant
w. insisted should not exceed six PAGES.
while the seconds Of Captain j. urged
strongly the rashness OF so decisive a
distance and insisted on its being ex-
tended.
At length the proposal of Lieutenant
VS. friends was agreed to, and the
parties fired per signal, when Lieuten-
ant w. received the shot of his adyer-
sary on the guard of his pistol. which
tore away the third and fourth fingers
OF his right hand The seconds then
interfered to no purpose. The son OF
Neptune, apparently cal,ous to pain,
wrapped his handkerchief round his
hand and swore he had another which
never failed him.
Captain ]. called his second aside
and told him 1t was in vain to urge a
reconciliation.
They again took their ground.
On Lieutenant w. receiving the pi,-
toll in his left hand he looked stead
tasty at Captain J. for some time. then
cast his eyes to heaven and said in n
low voice. Forgive mev'
The parties fired as before, and both
fell. Captain ]. received the shot

Mine Explosion Kills Sc.

Centralia, Ill April IAN explosion
of gas and coal dust in the coal shaft
at Sandoval, H.. six miles north of this
city. resulted in the death of six men.
Five others were terribly burned about
the head and chest. The accident was
due to an accumulation of gas in the
mine from imperfect ventilation and
coal dust which had been allowed to
gather to a depth of two feet in many
places. The force of the explosion
wrecked the interior of the mine. de-
stroying trap doors and knocking down

TRIPLE SHOOTING.
Frank Candee Wounded His Sis
ter, Brother and Himself.

Kansas City. No, April Frank
Candee, 40 years old, shot and danger
ously wounded his brother Nathan R.
Candee, aged So years, and his sister,
Miss Olive Candee, about 1890 o'clock
last night. Candee then fired a bullet
into his own forehead, inf1icting a prob
ably mortal injury. His death is be-
heved to be a matter of but few
hours. Nathan r. Candies condition is
critical. but it is believed Miss Candee
will recover All three are at st. so
seph's hospital.
Miss Candee, who is about 30 years Of
age, is assistant manager of the dress
making department Of the Emery, Bird.
Thayer dry goods store. Nathan r.
Candee is chief clerk in the office Of the
general superintendent of the Union Pa
cifc railroad in this city.
CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING
The triple tragedy was enacted in the
family home at E317 Olive street. Frank
Candee was in poor health and had
previously shown evidences of dementia-
The mother, Mrs. Jane Candee. and her
children, Nathan r. and Miss Ollie Can
dee, and Mrs. c. Meigs had planned to
move to the home of Mrs. Edward
Owen. another daughter, at Park ave-
rue and Twenty-fourth street. today.
Frank Candee was not to accompany
them. When told last night that he
would be forced to seek quarters else
where he apparently lost his reason.
Miss Candee and the two brothers
We're seated in the dining room when
the plans of the family were made
known to Frank. Without giving any
sign that he was displeased with this
arrangement. the elder brother left the
room for moment and upon his return
began firing. Miss Candee was shot in
the back of the head. Nathan was shot
under the right jaw and on the right
side of the neck. After firing these shots
Frank Candee ran upstairs to his bed
room and shot himself.
Mrs. Meigs had gone upstairs just be-
fore the shooting and this undoubtedly
saved her life.

OIL WELL ABANDONED.
Wamego Prospectors Gave Up When
Down LOG Feet.

Wamego, Kan. April 1.-The oil well
on the NJ. T. Daniels farm has been
abandoned and the derrick is being
taken down. It was found to be i'm
possible to rim out the 80 feet of rock
50 as to allow casing to be put in. The
hole was 1,106 feet deep and it was
thought by Colonel Sanborn and the
drillers that they would have found oil
in abundance within the next fifty
feet.
There was a cave-in at about 1000
feet. In order to slip in casing the hole
had to be enlarged a trif1e over one
half inch, and the drillers found it i'm
possible to keep the drill on the rim of
the smaller hole. In drilling sixteen
feet with the trimmer it was discovered
that they were one foot to the side of
rock could be passed through the hole
would have been SO crooked that it
would have been impossible to put in
casing.
Colonel Sanborn, Roy Jack. Mason
and Lewis are more firmly convinced
today than ever before that they would
have had good well within a few feet
of the point at which work was
stopped From the day drilling was
started they did not encounter a single
unfavors.ble indieation-water except
ed They are all of the opinion that
this is one of the best undeveloped oil
fields in the country and it was with
great reluctance that the well so near
completion was abandoned

indianapolis, April THE new wage
agreement between the bitum1nous coal
miners and operators went into effect
IN nearly twenty states today The
1902 agreement viii continue in Tennes-
see, Alabama and several other western
and southern states until June or July.
Figures compiled by Secretary Wilson
show that the bituminous miners, as
result of the national and state conven-
tions, will this year receive an aggre-
gate increase of sis, APT, 900 in wages
over last year. This is based on the
output of last year. 1t is probable that
the amount will be even more as the
production is likely to be greater. In
Guiding the advance received by the
anthracite men the total increase will
be about $35000,000 this year.

SMALLPOX AT OXFORD.
There Are Sixty Instead of One Hun
dred Cases as Reported.

DR.. Lowry, secretary of the state
board Of health, today stated that the
report of the prevalence of smallpox in
Oxford, Sumner county, sent out a
week or more ago was considerably ex-
aggerated. Instead of there being 100
cases during the month of March there
were go. The report was sent out by
the local health officers of the county
and was really an estimate. The state
board gave out the report on the auth
GRITTY of the Sumner county officers.
Smallpox has been very prevalent in
oxford during the past month but is
abating somewhat now and is believed
to have about run its course.
During the month of March there
have been more cases of the disease IN
the state than during any other month
since last spring. There have been 100
cases in the state during March, so in
Sumner county, 20 in Jefferson county
and 20 scattered. Two deaths have re-
suited out of this number. There has
been only about one-tenth the number
of cases during the past II months than
during the year preceding. During the
year ending January 1 there were $50
cases and one death.
