Cargo of Fragrant Blossoms Reach
es New York from Bermuda.

New York, April 17.-With the
arrival today of the Bermudian, of
the Quebec Steamship company's line
New York florists will be in a posi-
ton to supply the most widespread
demand for Easter lilies. The hold
of the steamer contains a large car
go of the fragrant blossoms. The
Bermuda lily crop this year has been
exceptionally large and of fine
quality and prices will be lower.
Owing to the blight of previous
years and the early Easter last year
lilies were not abundant and prices
were high.
The Bermudian brings 10000
boxes of Lies. These boxes contain
five dozen buds to the box and
wholesale on the dock at from three
and halt to six dollars per box ac-
cording to the length of the stem.
Last year the retail price was from
a dollar to dollar and half per-
stem, but the wholesalers on the
Bermudian say that the present crop
is of such quantity and quality that
the larger stems will retail at about
seyenty-fve cents

JOHN DOWELL AND MASON WILL
LIAMS IN AFFRAY AT
AUSTIN.
FORMER LIKELY TO DIE
Fight in the Lobby
of the Hotel DriSkill at Austin
Grows Out of
Lawsuit.

Austin, Texas, April 17.-Shortly
after noon yesterday Attorney John
Dowell of Austin and Attorney Ma
son Williams of San Antonio engaged
in a duel with pistols in the lobby Of
the Driskill hotel, the result of which
may prove fatal to the former,
though upon first examination of the
wound received, the physicians
thought it not necessarily fatal.
Dowell is supposed to have taken
the initiative in the firing, having
unloaded both barrels of a shotgun
twice, after which a revolver was
whipped out and the firing contin-
ued. Williams received several buck
shot in the abdomen, but the wounds
are not dangerous and he will be ta-
ken home tomorrow morning.
While this fusillade of shots was
raining about Williams he drew his
revolver, and one shot is reported
from it as having entered one leg
and passed through and lodged in
the other. Williams is reported to
have fired several shots afterward.
The shooting occurred as result
Of litigation In which some ranch
property held by Dowell was fore
closed by the West Texas Bank &
Trust company Following this, Dow
ell filed suit in the district court
here for the disbarment of Williams
from the practice of law. the trial
having commenced Thursday, which
was continued until yesterday. How
ever an hour before the trial was
to have been resumed the affray oc-
Cured in the Driskill hotel.

and another imported man as con-
ductor. The car had not gone far
when it was attacked. Men swarmed
aboard from all sides, and the trolley
pole was pulled from the wire, the
controller was taken from Borgmann
and the crowd began to beat him
and the conductor. Bricks, pieces of
lead pipe and other missiles were
thrown and every window in the car
was broken. A number of revolver
shots were fired, and one bullet
struck Borgmann in Nthe foot. A
strong detachment of police rushed
up and after considerable effort sue
ceeded in driving the crowd back.
The strike began Monday, owing
to the refusal of the employees to ac-
cept reduction in wages. The COM
pany also operates lines between
Philadelphia and Chester and Ches
ter and Wilmington, Del. Traffic on
this road is also suspended.
