Death from american DueI.v

Budapest, July 12.-EmiI Gerre, OF
|Pressburg, Hungary, a 16-year-old
youth, is dead from the effects OF a
wound inflicted upon himself in what
is known as an American duel. -
In the American duel" as practiced
in Europe, two opponents draw lots,
the loser promising on his word OF
honor to kill himself.
Young Gerre, a pupil in the Press
burg High school, quarreled with a
young military cadet. Both lads loved
a ~14-year-old girl. The cadet chal-
lenged Gerre to an American duel. -
The affair was arranged with due
formallty. Each OF the boys was ac-
companied by two seconds. The
seconds placed two billiard balls, one
white and the other red, in IA bag,
and the two youths drew lots. Gerre
drew the red ball and promised to
shoot himself within "a hours. He went
home, wrote a letter TO his parents and
friends, and to the girl who caused
all the trouble, and then killed him
self.

Petersburg, July ia massacre OF
Jews is expected to occur shortly at
Kieff and the authorities are making
no effort to prevent it.
Dispatches from that city report a
new form Of iew-baiting. The Lavra
monastery, Of the Orthodox Greek
faith, has hired TWO stalawart thugs to
stand at the corner Of two principal
streets and beat up all Jews who pass.
The police have watched the proceed
ings without making an effort to pre-
vent it.
The monks of the Lavra monastery
are also circulating printed leaflets,
calling upon the people of Kieff to
arrange a new programme and to
slaughter the Jews without mercy.
The monks themselves are carrying
these leaflets from house to house in
Kieff, and are actually distributing
them on the tram cars and in public
places.

ATTACKED WIFE; FELL DEAD.

While in a rage, following an en-
counter with an ice man in his home in
Yonkers, n. Y, yesterday, Peter Tripo-
Ii. a retired contractor, took a large
knife from a sideboard drawer, and ran
toward his wife. The woman grabbed
his hand and begged and pleaded with
him not TO harm her. He yelled at
her, and tried to hack her with the
implement. She managed to hold him
for a while, but finally sank to the
floor exhausted.
As the woman fell in a heap at his
feet her husband, with a shrek, raised
the knife above his head and brought
it down toward her. Then he suddenly
reeled and staggered back. The weapon
fell from his hand. Tripoli, clutching
at his heart, sank to the floor. Mrs.
Tripoli, weakened by the ordeal
through which she had passed,
tainted.
Neighbors, who had heard Tripoli's
shouts, ran into the house, and when
they found the man and wife lying on
the floor, summoned DIR. j. A. Failla,
the deputy health officer, who was
passing, He said that the contractor
had died instantly Of heart disease,
brought on by heat prostration. Tripoli
had been complaining of the heat.
He attacked an ice lnan with an axe
during an argument over the price OF
a piece of ice just before he had
attempted TO stab his wife.

New York, July 12.-Among the
passenger on the Kaiser Wilhelmder
Groose, leaving New York today were
Ralph Hill Thomas and his bride,
Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould, former wife
OF Frank J.. Gould. Apparently the
tangle as to the custody Of the Gould
children had been settled, following
the mysterious chase in a taxl-cab
after the wedding yesterday, and their
transfer to another machine which dis
appeared.
Today the children are at the home Of
their aunt, Helen Miller Gould, at

welded pair will make a tour Of the

THAT about fifty tons of armor plate
supplied by the Midvale Steel Works
for the new dreadnoughts North
Dakota and Utah, is defective, became
known at Washington last week after
a long conference between government
officials and representatives of the com
pany. 1t now comes out that the soft
spots in the belt of the North Dakota
were not discovered until after she had
been ahoat for some time. The Utah
is still under construction at Camden,
and similar defects have been located
in her plates. The government 1t
seems is defrauded in everything 1t
does.

Berlin, July l2.-Capt. Vablkampt.
of Infantry Regiment No. Ill, sta
toned at Rastatt, South Germany, has
been dismissed from the army and
sentenced to prison for two years for
brutality toward his soldiers.
The socialist press declares that as
German youths are compelled to serve
in the army and are subject to severe
discipline and to the most rigorous
punishment for breaches Of discipline,
they must be protected from mon
sters" who wear the ~epaulettes OF

New York at noon yesterday, OF Mrs.
Helen Kelly Gould, the divorced wife
of Frank Jay Gould, to Ralph Hill
Thomas, at her home, No. $40 Park
avenue, the two Gould children,
Helen and Dorothy, were the central
figures in what appeared to be an
unexpected and rather forceful change
OF guardianship. They were taken
from the custody of Mrs. Thomas's
mother, Mrs. Kelly, who lives at the
Hotel Gotham, and put into the hands
OF representatives of Miss Helen Gould,
who took the children to her country

THE ELKs EXCURSION.

The excursion given yesterday by
Alexandria Lodge, No. 75S, b. 2. o,
Elks, to Marshall Hall was a decided
success. Large crowds went down on
the morning and afternoon boats. The
programme Of amusements prepared
by the organization was carried out
andgreatly enjoyed by the e~xcursionists
the motor boat race being an especial
feature. The heavy rain which pre-
vailed about the time the evening boat
left kept many at home who wanted
to go on the last trip. About 200 went
aboard, and at least hat many more
would have embarked had the weather
been propitious.
The races we're interferred with by
the rain which fell late in the evening.
The little speed wonder belonging to
Mr.. Travers, OF P~oughkeepsie, was to
try for the worlds record against time,
but there was too much sea running TO
make this possible. Mr.. Harry Fleisch-
man determined to hold a handicap
race for a handsome cup and, to make
it interesting Mr.. ~Batten6eld, the owner
OF the Gray Bat, was given nine and
one half minutes start over the ten
mile course. Mr.. Traver's boat gained
seven minutes in the first five miles
and would have been a sure winner had
not a pleasure boat gotten in the way
in front of the pier and which came
near causing a serious accident on
account Of the wash which put the
Travers boat out OF the race. In future
it is hoped that the managing commit
tee Of different excursions will so
arrange matters that the course will
be properly policed, avoiding al inter
ference with the racer upon the part
Of Measure boats.
