running into the Grand Central Sta

in cooperation with the American Lo-

tors of $500 horsepower each, and thir-

BLOODY DUEL IN
KENTUCKY STREETS

"
willing to be taken away, intimating
cowardice.
This incensed Skaggs to despera-
ton and he came to town today de-
termined to wipe out the stain which
his enemies had placed upon his
character even at the cost of his
life.
Gray had heard of the threats and
knew that when they met one or both
would die. Skaggs had just left the
postoffice and was walking south in
the direction of the hotel when he
saw Gray crossing the street, COM
ing towards him. He drew his weap-
on instantly. Gray seeing his enemy
at the same moment and was almost
as quick as his opponent in drawing
his pistol. Skaggs fired first. and
it is supposed that this was the shot
that mortally wounded Gray. The
latter did not fall but returned the
fire rapidly and with such accuracy
that three of the bullets from his
revolver penetrated Skaggs' body
producing wounds which must result
in death in a few hours. After empty
ing his revolver Gray fell in the
street and was dead when those who
witnessed the affair reached his side.
Skaggs refuses to say anything
about the affair and will die without
baking q statement
The affair has, of course. created
the greatest excitement here and
other tragedies are expected to be the
outcome of it.

lives CLOTHED
IN FRIENDS SKIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The two hun
dred friends and followers who willing
ly gave 1900 strips of their own skin
to be grated upon the body of Wilson
S. Fredericks of Dunellen, N. j., chief
clerk of the New York office of the
United States Express company, who
had almost the entire cuticle burned
from his body by dry steam in the
Westtield wreck, learned today that
the Young man had been discharged
from the Muhlenberg hospital in Plain
field, where he has been for nearly a
year.
The recovery of young Fredericks ia
marvel of modern surgery. When
dragged from the wreck of the New
Jersey Central train at Westfeld on
January p, last, he was barely breath
ing. Confined under q heap of smoul-
dering wreckage and almost beneath
the shattered engine, he had been
slowly tortured into insensibility by
the contact of dry steam. This steam
had burned away two-thirds Of the
skin on his body, the burning of each
particle accompanied by excruciating
agony. On his face, his arms and his
legs there was not a particle of skin
left.
When the surgeons brought him to
the hospital they gave the opinion that
the extinction of life was but a matter
Of moments. But they did not reckon
with the wonderful physical strength
of the young man. Goaded by the
fearful agony that every contact with
his raw skin brought, he recovered con-
sciousness, screaming with pain. Opt
ates and drugs brought no relief, al
nothing could stifle or ameiiorate his
sufferings. Thinking to comfort him

CHIEF WOYDT TOLD
HOB0ES TO MOVE ON

several varieties of fits when he ar
rived at the station this morning
and glanced over the list of names
registered there. At first the page
looked as though the harvest by the
night force had broken the record.
but a more thorough perusal showed
that only one harmless drunk" had
been arrested. All the rest were
what the police call "sleepers"-men
who are out Of work and money and
were given beds at the station. Some
Of them were taken from saloons,
where they had been unoomfortably
trying to sleep in chairs or in wood
boxes.
The chief ordered the "sleepers"
brought into his august presence and
they were lined up on the bench, 10
of them. Assuming the fierce Ma
poleonio look which has grown on
the physiognomy of the chief since
coming into the Office, he delivered

Commissioners Explain

A Press reporter yesterday ap-
preached the three county commits
sioners with view to learning the
facts for their copying the custom
handed down by their predecessors in
office of putting in a lump sum bill
for monthly expenses of SIS each,
when the law distinctly states that
the officer discussing county funds
shall take vouchers and submit them
with their bills.
Commissioner Butler was the only
one of the county triumvirate who
condescended to make a statement.
Mr.. Butler said: 1T has been a
custom here for number of years.
We are expected to get our transpoy-
tation and expenses while away from
our homes on county business. The
fact is as experience has taught that
such expenses amount to $50 a
month, and 1t is also a fact that in
the case OF some months it is greater
than the $25 we take for it, / be-
lieve from my experience that the
matter is about as broad as 1t is
long"
Il don't want to talk about It, Say
what you're mind to-" was the way
in which Commissioner Dean dismiss
ed the subject
Commissioner Collin said: yes, 1t
is an old custom of our predecessors,
but with us its-it's a matter of
saving the county money"

All efforts to obtain an interview
with Miss Schultz, or to ascertain
whether or not she was aware of the
Vaccinations of her lover, were quite
unavailing.

and the wonderful work was begun.
Fredericks was Stll suffering agony
day and night, but he bore it with
splendid herosm and as soon as his
friends gave up their skin to be graft
ed on the tenderest places his agony
was gradually allaved.
Day after day the Masons went to
the hospital, and after them the en-
ployes of the United States Express
company. The injured man saw these
volunteers trying to save his life and
a new courage was born in the heart
still racked by pain.
The case aroused tremendous interest
among surgeons and in the Masonic
world it was a matter of wide discus
sion. While the condition of the pa
tient was such at times that the work
of grating on the new skin had to be
interrupted, there was never pause in
