Duel Between Fellow Work men Has Fatal Ternina-
 tion for Both.

As a result of bullet wounds recetV- ed during a pistol duel on March IS, Michael Sweeney of A Clinton avenue died at St. Vincent's hospital, this morning. Blood poisoning first devel- oped in the arm and the infection spread rapidly

JeaIousies arose through their duties and at 6:30 o'clock on the morning of March IS Penda gast approached Sweeney and said, "You're a darned nuisance, if you don't look out I'll plug you" Wit nesses testified before the coroner that Pendagast fired the first shot which pierced Sweeney's hand. A second shot from Pendagasts pistol wounded Sweeney in the leg. Sweeney returned the fire and sent a bullet through Pendagast's heart causing in stant death to the latter.
 Sweeney was taken to St. Vincent's hospital where his wounds were at tended to. It was supposed that he was recovering until blood poisoning was discovered. His death, however, was somewhat of a, surprise.

Paris, April 1a-Italy's territorial claims, especially in the Adriatic. were presented to the Council of Four today by Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister.
