At the passenger train (which leaves Bos

of Mr. Wyman were awakened by the Are

Some of the friends of Mrs. Moore, who
resides on Sewall street, visited her on Friday

well deserved, and the act itaelf expressive of ;
Christian charity and love.
The “citizens' caucus” at Meonian Hall on
Saturday evening, was, as it deserved to be,
and as every oue expected, a fizzle and a fail
ure. About fifty persons, representing the
odds and ends of defunct and played out dis
contents in all the parties that ever had a
foothold here, regulated and balanced by the
copperhead element, met and nominated two
of our worthy and respectable citizens az can
didates for Mayor and Municipal Judge—Hon.
J. W. North and Hon. Daniel Williams.
The names of both these gentlemen were used
without their knowledge or consent Mr.
North is a republican of long standing, and
was at the time his name was being taken in
vain doing his duty at the republican ward
meeting. Mr. Williams is a democrat, but
altogether too high-toned a gentleman to be
mixed up with the mongrel erowd that met at
Meonian Hall on Saturday evening. The j
people to-day will give their opinion of such j
silly proceedings. *

General Sheridan Issues a Congrat

Chicago, March 3.
Gen. Sheridan yesterday issued a general
order congratulating the troops on the suc

gan Indians; says these Indians, wlmse close
proximity to the British line lias furnished
them an easy and safe protection against at- ,
| tack, have Uitlu rto murdered and stolen with
comparative Impunity, in defiance and con
tempt of the government. Alter having been
repeatedly warned they have at last received a
carefully prepared and well merited blow iu
the middle of winter with the thermometer
below zero, and when experience had led
them to believe they could not be reached, the
blow fell. 173 of the Indians were killed,
300 horses captured, and the village and
property of the baud were totally destroyed.
The Lieut. General cannot commend too
highly the spirit and conduct of troops and
commander in the difficulties and hardships
they experienced in the inclemency of tlia

of these Indians, he congratulated the citizens

Madrid, March 13.
The clupl between Duke de Montpensier
and Eurigue de Bourbon occurred this morn
ing. The latter was killed. The seconds of
the Duke, were Geu. Cardova and Alvandor.
Those of the Prince were Senor llubis and
another name unknown. Both were republi
can deputies in the constitutional eortes. The
affair lias created much excitement.
The meeting took place seven miles from
Madrid. The principals drew lots for first
shot and Prince Enrique won. The adver
saries exchanged the first fire at ten paces
without result; they then advanced on each
other until within seven paces, when the
Prince fired and missed. The Duke returned
the fire with fatal effect, shooting his adver
sary through the head, and in a few moments
he expired. The Duke showed the utmost
coolness dnring the combat, but was much
affected when lie was informed of the result,
as the Prince is poor. The Duke offers to
provide for his widow and children. The
qarrel was caused by harsh letters against the
Duke which the Prince addressed to Mont- !
pensierists. Henri de Bourbon is brother of ;
