Sheriff Uruy lias Culled for Arms hikI Troops Acting Governor Wardnei Direct III111 to Kxliuust the Civil l. sources Uum Sent. Carbondale, 111., July 3. Union City, named from the fact that It Is occupied by union miners, was the scene of a battle last night about midnight, and as a result the town is in ruins. The nonunion negroes and other men em ployed by Brush at his mines near FYo donla having become crazed over the killing of a woman yesterday, went to the camp, which consisted of mine houses, and opened Are on them, which was at once returned. The battle raged until the union miners ran from their homes and took refuge In a clump of timber close to the village. The nonunion men at once applied the torch to the houses and all were burned to the ground. The men having destroyed all prop erty previously occupied by the union men, moved on the woods, and until daylight the fusillade was keppt up. No lives have so far been reported lost In the engagement at Union City. Union miners have been arriving at the scene of the trouble all night, and the outcome must be a long-drawn-out-battle. Both sides seem determined to win. Springfield, 111., July 3. The follow ing dispatch was delivered to Senator Walter Warder, acting governor, at 2 o'clock this morning: "Carterville, 111., June 330. Gov. Tanner: Negro miners at Fredonia fired on train conveying negro miners from Pana to Brush's mine, near Car terville, killing one woman and wound ing twenty men. The coroner held an inquest and warrants were issued for six men. I arrested three, and they were taken away from me by the mob, who cut the horses loose from my car riage. "Five hundred shots were exchanged between the union and nonunion min ers. "The town of Union, north of here, has been burned. I am powerless to quell the riot. Send guns and 200 troops at once. "JACOB GRAY, "Sheriff Williamson County." Senator Warder drove at once to the residence of AdJ-Gen. Reece, and Biter conferring with that official he sent the following reply: Springfield, 111., June 30. Sheriff Jacob Gray, Carterville, 111.: Dispatch to Gov. Tanner Jjust received. I send you immediately 150 guns and ammu nition. Summon a posse of good men at once and do everything In your pow er to quell the riot, enforce the law and protect life and property." "WALTER WARDER, Acting Governor." Acting Governor Warder said he would not order troops until the sheriff had exhausted his resources, and if any were sent it would be cue Carbondale company, which is near Carterville. ATTACK ON SAN FERNANDO. Rebels Fall to Push Their Sally One American Soldier Killed. Manila, July 3. The rebels made a demonstration at San Fernando last evening. They took advantage of the darkness and rain to make a sally against the north line, seemingly only for the purpose of annoying the Amer icans, as they failed to push their at tack. The American loss was a private of ' the Seventeenth regiment killed and four uen wounded. Mrs. Alfred Clarke, of Hite wan, Manor Co., Iowa, has been the moth- j er of four children.

It was one of our Friday niuht sym posiums ul tlit' Cosmos Club, iind as our particular Clique was made up of Morton, from toe Geological Surrey; Herring, of the Fish Commission, to gether with Long, from the Agricultur al Bureau; De Forrest, of tlio Army Medical Museum, and myself, then Berving as Washington correspondent for a New York paper, it li need leaf to say that the talk had run the entire gamut of art, literature and science, ; and had for the niomei ; settled on i the belief in dual person;: :ities. I "I tell you, gentlemen," said Morton, with the authoritative air by which he always attempted to settle ques tions under dlseussion, "that while I am willing to admit that there may be some things almost impossible to . prove or disprove scientifically, yet i this talk about dual personality, sub I eonsclous mind and all such stuff is, I vulgarly speaking, simply rot." And , he lay back in his chair with a self , satisfied air, as though there was nothing more to be said ou the sub. tat. I Long took up the argument, and the I debate grew rather warm as the pros . and cons were laid down in that ex , cathedra way which we young men I are apt to affect. Dr. De Forrest had thus far taken no part in the dlscus 1 clou, but had smiled once or twice at our assertions in a way that assured us, who knew him so well, that he had a good story to tell if we could only draw him out. "Come, Doctor," said Long, as he ordered a fresh round of brandies and' I soda for the crowd, "you ought to know something about this question, ' for you told us last week thflt you had studied under Charcot when you were in Paris." I De Forrest selected a fresh perfecto i from the box at his side, lighted it in his usual careful way and blew a few rings of smoke, which he watched float lazily toward the ceiling, before he spoke. 1 "Well, boys," he began, "as Merton has Just said, there are some things which we" cannot as yet decide by purely physical methods. We cannot weight the soul in our most delicate balance, though the scale sinks if we add but the fraction of a hair, nor can we by our most subtle reagents analyze, that vital spark we call life in our lab-' oratories. I do not care to-irtght to ' speak of the many curious phenomena , which I witnessed during my studies i In Paris, for they might furnish you With a clew to the story which is to ! follow; but I'll tell you a little incident I In real life which occured when I was rery young in my New York practice, and then leave the question for you to . decide. "When I established myself in New j oi k. back in the sixties, fresh from my studies at Vienna, I Joined the Bohemia Club. Tbnt was not Its name, but as none ot you are old enough to remember the club It will do as well as any other, and I shall take the liberty of changing the names of the actors In my story as well, for obvious reasons. "We were a rather jolly crowd at the Bohemia, for we worked hard at our different hues all day and then met at the club in the evenings for relaxa tion and to compare notes. You see we were young then, and not authori ties In our several branches, as you all are here," and he smiled in his quizzical way as he looked round our little circle. 'There were two Southerners in the club," he continued, "both M. D's, and although greatly alike in their features and marvelously so in their dress, they were totally different In char acter, and I suppose it would be hard to find in any club two men further apart in their moral and mental qualities. Whiting had been a practis ing physician for a year or more and had alrendy a large clientele. He was a splenaid fellow, large of frame but straight as an arrow, with great brown eyes that looked you squarely in the face when he spoke, and, with all his physical strength, kind and gentle as a woman. He was loved by every one at the club, where we knew him as the soul of honor and generous to a fault. "Davis, on the other hand, though he was of the same olive hued type and enough like Whiting In features to be his twlu brother, had a sneering expression on his lace, and when he looked at you with his eyes half closed and that cynical smile on his lips he made me think of the copperhead of his ojvn Louisiana swamps. He was a heavy drinker, and spent money enough at the club, but ho was never known to do a kind act, and wevere sure he never spent a dollar on any one else unless he saw that he would gain some advantage in return. "Both of the men had ample means of their own, but Davis had never practiced, so far as we knew, and where he got his title of doctor from or where he lived no one seemed to know. Some snld that ho was an ex-; pert chemist and dabbled In alchemy as well, but ho made no close friends, and seldom spoke of his own life. , "It happened inat Davis and Whit-' ing had never met at the club, as each came but seldom, but we often chaffed one about the other, nnd from their j facial resemblonce dubbed them the 1 two Dromlos. .Tekyll and Hyde would have been more appropriate, but this whs long before Stevenson's book was written. "Whiting always resented any chance allusion to his double, although good m fined at the res nt nur chaff, and seemed to doubt the actual existence of Davis, whom he had heard of hut never met, and thought we were simply trying to put up a game on him. Naturally the more he scoffed at the reality of Davis the more we nag-1 ged him, until finally in sheer despera tion he proposed to give a quiet little dinner for four of us, at which Uobin- j son, an artist and fellow club-member, 1 myself, Davis and Whiting were to be the quartet "Davis promised to be there, if pos sible, and said he was already ac quainted with Whiting ot course b'y reputat'on only, he added with that cynical smile we all hated. OB the night of the dinner Uobinson and I were on hand early, for we were anx ious to see the meeting between In'-'.s ami Whiting, and had made several bets witn the other fellows as to whether Davis rould MOW up. "Whiting appeared punctually nt usual, but though we ?aitod until mid night Davis failed to materialize. Of course this settle the matter in Whit lug's mind for the tline being, and he made us set up several bottles of wine to drink to the health of his mythical lounterpart, as ho called him. "Tho next night, however, he came to the club, and drawing Kobinson ind me aside, said: "Boys, this mat tor lias gone too far. I like a Joke, but 1 think it is rather rough for you to keep ii kip.' And on our express ing our Ignorance of his moaning he showed us i letter from Davis regret ting his Inability to be present the night before, and saying that he was too ill at the uxp""" " to make his re grots in pork- " 'But. my dear fellow," said Uobin son, "if you really think us guilty of thiB letter will you kindly explain how If happens to be written on your own paper r "Whiting grabbed up the note and seemed frlghteuod for the moment, for at tho head of the letter was his crest and the envelope bore the impres sion of his private seal, which he al ways wore on his watch chain. He looked at it senrchiugly, and then left til? club without a wgrrj. "After this occurrence we ceased bantering him about Davis and passed the word around to the other fellows to drop it, for we saw that the matter worried him greatly and feared the ef fect of our chaff on his high strung, nervous tempermeut. Davis came to the club less frequently during the winter, but at every mention of Whit ing's nnme he smiled and said he was sorry they did not hapen to meet. "One day, early In the spring, Whit ing sent a note asking me to come up to his den after dinner, as be had some thing of importance to tell, and begged me not to fail him. 1 had often been to his office on Madison avenue, but had never visited him nt his rooms on th street It waa a quiet neighbor hood, wojt of Ninth avenue, nnd the house was one of a row of old fashion ed frame buildings still In good repair, but backed up against their rear were several ramshackel old tenements, nearly deserted by tenants. "I had not seen Whiting for some months and was shocked by the change in his appearance. There were 4ark circles under his eyes and a strange hunted expression in hie face. He grasped my baud eagerly d drew a chair for me in front of the grate tire, for the evenings were still cool. M 'Doc,' he exclaimed suddenly, after we had lit our cigars and talked glit tering generalities for a few minutes, 'that follow Davis is killing me by inches." , " 'Why, old man,' I said, 'so you have come to believe in him at last.' I started to laugh, but chocked my self when I saw the expreslon of his face. " 'What Is It, my dear boy?' I asked, soothingly. 'It certainly can't be so serious. What has he been up to now?' " 'Tis damned queer business,' said Whiting excitedly, 'and I can't Imagine his motive; but these are the facts. For several weeks this fellow has dogged my footsteps, nnd after 1 have made a professional nll and left the usual prescription he nas sent a note to the patient lmvatlng my handwrit ing and changing tho medicines for others, which, had they been taken as directed, would have In some cases proved fatal. Fortunately the drug gists have telephoned me that there was some mistake and I have been able to correct It. But of course this constant changing of prescriptions has affected my practice terribly, and people are beginning to think that my mind is unbalanced.' " 'But, my dear fellow,' said L trying to quiet him, 'why not give Up your practice for a few weeks and take a decided rest, and meanwhile we will deal with this follow Davis as he deserves.' " 'But that Is not all.' continued Whiting, despairingly. 'It is true I I don't need the income from my 1 practice, and work more from the love Of it than for the fees, but he has gone J still further nnd dared to call ou Miss Wiley, my fiancee, and tell her many j of the foolish escapades of my college j days, the secret of which I thought was burled In my own breast. I have tried to explain them away, but of course cannot deny tho tales, and I fear it Is all over for mo in that quart er. I can't see how she could listen to the cad or where she could have met him.' "Davis' actions teemed to be more inexplicable than ever, and I longed to get hold of the brute end force nn ex planation from him; but, hiding my naaii 1 trturi to nulot W'liltiiitr uml finally prevailed upon him to take a heavy dose of choral, which I pre pared, and to try to get a night's rest, ' promising to see Miss Wiley shortly and attempt to patch up matters. "I left him asleep on his louuge. and, en It was still early, walked over to Madison avenue, determined to call I on Miss Wiley, whom I know slightly, j and tell her of Whiting's condition. "There was a light In the drawing room, and, ringing the bell, I gave my card to the servant, and he ushered me in unannounced. Miss Wtter at at the piano, her hands ou tho kt-ys. While standing at her side and looking town ardently Into her upturned face was Davis. "For a moment I could not speak and seemed glued to the floor, but Davis quickly advanced and, after a feW polite Inquiries about my health ; and his dear friend Whiting, pleaded j an engagement and left. "His presence In the house and his unmistakable loverlike attitude made I It very painful for me to speak, but remembering the condition of poor Whiting and how heartbroken he seem ed, I ventured to speak about Davis and asked where she had met him. " 'Oh, I have only known him a few weeks,' sho said. 'He called with a letter of Introduction from Dr. Whit ing and said they were fellow students in the South. He has been most kind and attentive to me, and Is teaching me some of his own songs.' And she rattled on about his divine voice, while I sat speechless at the new complica tion of affairs. "At last I blurted out. 'Would yon kindly let me see the letter of Intro l UCtlonV adding tbnt Dr. Whiting had promised me letters to some of his friends in Lurope and I wished to see bis methods. "I felt t hnt this was a most feeble excuse, but could think of nothing else, and of course Miss Wiley was too po- 1 lite to express her surprise at the strange request Uolng to a dainty writing desk in the corner she came back and handed me the letter. "There was no doubt of the chlro graphy being exactly similar to Whit lug's. 1 saw -the same old fashioned capitals and crisp, sharp endings of each word, and as for the signature, his bank would have sworn to It. Be sides, there was his crest and seal, which I now knew so well. I don't know what I said In thanking her, for my bead was in a whirl, but I had enough souse to say good night and quickly withdraw. "How Davis could have obtained the paper and seal, or how he learned of all those college scrapes of Whiting's, I could not imagine. But I saw that his relations with Miss Wiley had gone so far that It would do no good for me to Interfere, and that I should only be snubbed by her for my Impertin ence in meddling in other people's business. "Whiting was out when I called at his rooms next morning ana his servant 'told me tnat he had gone to the country for a rest and left no address. "It was perhaps a month afterward that he turned up at the club one night looking more ghastly than ever. He would not say where he had been and positively uecllneu to discuss the Davis matter. "I know he talked wildly about hyp notic control nnd kindred subjects, un til we thought his mind affected, and tried to calm blm, but he grew more and more excited, until finally I saw him turn pale and clutch the back of a chair, and noticed a little stream of frothy blood oozing from between his clenched teeth as he staggered out of the room. "I Jumped up from the sofa and fol lowed as quickly as I could, but when I reached the fr nt door he was gone, and I met Davis Just coming in. He wulked leisurely into the cafe and leaned against the mantelpiece. To my excited Inquiries about Whiting he simply smiled and said he had not noticed him going out, but I saw him scratching a small red spot from his cuff with his finger nail and felt sure they must have met " 'Gentlemen,' said Davis, In his drawling voice, 'I beg you will con gratulate me on my approacning mar riage, and pardon my not mentioning u.e lady's name in the club. Steward, please take the orders.' "Most of us refused to drink with him, for we despised tho man, and I loit him chatting with a few of his particular croniej and went up to Whiting's room. I heard afterward that Davis left very shortly after I did. "Whiting had not come home and I spent the night hunting through hotels, police stations, hospitals and even the Morgue, for I felt sure that he had ruptured a blood vessel in his lungs, which must quickly prove fatal. But I could find no trace of him, and final ly, utterly worn out, went to my rooms to toss aoout until midday with a horrible nightmare, In which Whiting and Davis were struggling In one an other's grasp, each striving to kill the other. "At lunch I picked up a morning paper and scanued the society news listlessly u til my eyes lit upon the rumored engagement of Dr. J. H. Davis, formerly of New Orleans, and Miss Isabeiie Wiley, the well known belle, &c.' "I sat musing over the strange vicissitudes of fate and wondering what had become of poor V uiting. Suddenly a newsboy rushed Into the restaurant cnlliug extras, and the first heading 1 saw was: " 'Sudden death of Dr. Davis.' I eagerly read the usual detailed account of how he had been found that morn ing dead in his bed, evidently, the paper stated, from a ruptured blood vessel, as tho bed clothing and carpets were saturated with blood, but no wound was found on his body. "Strangely enough, he lived In one of the old tenements back of Whiting's home, and measurements which I made subsequently showed that his rooms nnd Whiting's must have been on similar floors and directly back to back. Remembering the stolen note paper I trieu to find some entrance be tween the two houses, but the walls were solid, and even the wall papers showed naught but a lew little cracks due to their many years' service. " 'This, gentlemen," said Dr. De Forrest, drawing his glass and taking up his hat and cane from the sofa. Is a story of actual life, and if any of you have an explanation to offer I should be happy to hear It" We could say nothing for a moment and then the irrepressible Merton found his tongue. "But how about Dr. Whiting '" he asked. "As for him, gentlemen," said Dr. De Forrest, solemnly, as he stood by the open door, "1 know nothing further except that he was never found. But I have my theory. Good nightl" And he closed the door. I'nbllc Drinking- Trnngha.
