Count Stephan Tisza, president of
the lower house of the Hungarian
parliament, fought another duel yes
terday and succeeded in wounding his
man, Count Aladar Szechenyl. The
weapons were sabers, and Count Sec

Government Inaugurated.

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 9.-With the
rising of the General Assembly today
for the 1913 session Governor Simeon
E. Baldwin was inaugurated and be-
gan serving his second term. For
the first time since 1897 there was a
Democratic Governor and Senate. The
House has Republican majority Of
but two which means the constant at
tendance of the party's members if it
wishes to control the business Of that
branch.
A Democratic governor and senate
means a filling of all state commits
sions with Democrats, something
which the Governor could not do two
years ago not only because of Re-
publican senate but because the terms
of many of the commissioners did not
expire until this year.

the fate of the two men.
From copies of letters received hera

The marquis of Ruvigny, one of the
most eminent European authorities on

He said:
CDR. Jordan is talking arrant non-
sense if he says William the Conqu-
eror was responsible for having found
ed only one American family and Ed

"To say that William the Conque-
ror is responsible for only one Amer
ican family is nonsense. Take only
one case, Susanna, the eldest daugh-
ter and co-heir of Sir Richard Ever
ard, the governor of North Carolina,
in 1724, married David Meade, OF
Nansemond county, Va, who was a
planter. They had six children, all
leaving issue. The eldest OF THESE
again had six children, among wnom
were several daughters, who married
into American families.
