York) fought a duel with swords today
with Count Orlowski in the outskirts of
Paris. In the first assault Count Orlowski

with responsibility for the article.
The second failed to reach a satisfactory
arrangement and decided that a meeting
was necessary.

TWO NEGROES CAUGHT
—
Who Are Charged With Assaulting a
Young White Woman
Columbia, S. C., July 21.—The two ne
groes who on last Monday attempted to
ravish a young white woman at Florence,
this State, were caught this afternoon by
a party of white men who have been on
tho hunt for them all the week. They are
now in the hands of the sheriff. The peo
ple of Florence are greatly excited, and
Governor McSweeney, who was on his way
to Columbia, stopped at Florence and
made a speech, pointing out the necessity
for upholding the law.
The Timmonsville Guards were ordered
| out, and as they came upon the scene they
were greeted with hoots and hisses. Press
ure was brought to bear on the governor
to withdraw the militia company, but he
declined to do so, and said they would re
main on duty subject to the sheriffs orders.
Anothar Warship Needed
Washington, July 21.—The government is
now wishing that it had a warship at a
convenient point on the isthmus of Pana
ma, though only a week ago the Machiaa
was relieved from that place and started
homeward. The smouldering revolutionary
movement in that section of Colombia has
broken out again, according to advices to
the State Department, and heavy lighting
is going on between Colon and Panama.
So far the insurrectionists have been in
duced to respect the towns of Panama and
Colon and confine it to the country out
side. But this condition can scarcely con
tinue, and the Navy Department is under
the necessity of sending another vessel to
take the place of the Machias if one can
be found, to protect American interests on
the Isthmus.
Delago Bay Arbitration Closed
Washington, July 21. —The Delagoa Bay

Contra Discounta, a Parisian banking in
stitution with which the Portuguese Gov
ernment does business. It will remain for
the British and American claimants to ar
range for an equitable distribution of this
fund, and negotiations to that end are un
der way with the promise of success.

A STRONG APPEAL
Executive Council of American
Federation of Labor Wants
Organization.
Denver, July 21.—The Executive Council
of the American Federation of Labor issued
an appeal to all wage-workers to organize
and federate. It says:
“Throughout our country a struggle is
ragging between the oppressor and the
oppressed, the possessors of wealth and the
laborers; the concentration of industry and
wealth is the order of the day. Every
worker must suffer disastrous results until
they organize and federate to protect and
promote their mutual interests.
“In this combination and concentration
of wealth the possessors permit no
sectional or state lines to interfere with
their power, and it therefore behooves the
toilers, the wealth producers to unite and
federate regardless whether they are lo
cated East, West, North or South; Irre
spective of sex, politics, color or religion.
The hope of the workers, the prayer of all
our people, for justice and right and the
perpetuation of republican institutions lies
in organized labor.
“Recognizing these essential truths, the
Executive Council of the American Feder
ation of Labor appeals to all wage-workers
of whatever trade or calling to organize
unions where they do not exist, to join
those already organized ,to form unions
and international unions of their respec
tive trades and callings and to affiliate in
one common bond of labor upon the broad
platform and under the proud banner of
the American Federation of Labor.
“In calling upon the workers to unite and
federate we aim to do no one wrong, but
establish rights for all.”
REPORT IS DENIED
That the Southern Will Buy Part of the
Seaboard
Portsmouth, Va., July 21.—(Special.)—
President Williams and Vice President St.
John were in Portsmouth today and were
asked what they had to say in regard to
the newspaper story to the effec^ that J.
P. Morgan and Company, or the Southern
Railway, had purchased a controling inter
est in the Seaboard Air Line System. They
replied that the report was utterly false
and was doubtless being circulated with
malicious intent, and originated with the
same parties who have been conducting
the fight against the Seaboard Air Line
System for the past few years. To show
how absolutely ridiculous the story is, they
authorized the statement that the entire
capital stock of the Seaboard Air Line
System has been deposited in a voting
trust which has ten years to run, and in
addition to this a large majority of the
voting trust certificates are also owned
by the voting trustees and their immediate
associates. President Williams also added,
the public can safely brand as false any
rumors of this sort, which are being, and
probably will continue to be, set in motion
from time to time by certain railway inter
ests inimical to the new Seaboard, and for
the evident purpose of adversely Affecting
the business of this system. If the Sea*
board wanted to purchase the Souehrn
Railway it could do so with greater ease
than the Southern could buy the Seaboard.
SITUATION IN INDIA
At Bombay Crops Are Reported Above
the Average
London, July 21.—The Secretary of State
for India, Lord George Hamilton, has re
ceived the following dispatch from Viceroy
of India, Lord Curzon of Kedleston:
"At Bombay the crops are reported above
the average. At Tonkan, in the Carmatac
and in the Eastern Deccan, they are prom
ising. Elsewhere South of Neerbudda and
North of Neerbudda at Jetgaral, Kathia
war and Baroda the rainfall has been in
sufficient. There has been little sowing ex
cept in a few places. It will be Impossible
to continue sowing for food crops after
August 1. The sowing of cotton will con
tinue until August 15. In the central
provinces excellent rains have prevailed
lately. If the monsoon continues favorable
within the cultivated area crops will fall
short only at Naghur and Chattisgard. The
prospect at Bedar is encouraging. At Baj
putana the rainfall has generally been suffi
cient for agricultural purposes save in a
few sections where the heavy mortality of
cattle has been felt. The agricultural pros
pects in Central India are generally satis
factory, and while more rain is needed in
Mysor and other provinces, no distress is
reported."
SUSAN B, ANTHONY
Will Speak at Negro Raoe Conference
at Montgomery
Montgomery, July 21.— (Special.)—Miss
Susan B. Anthony, the famous woman’s
suffragist from the North, will speak at
the negro race conference of colored men
to be held here next week.
Rev. W. H. Nixon, the colored preacher,
and his associates have received a notice
of her acceptance.
The announcement that she is to speak at
the colored conference will be exceeded in
Interest only by the attention that h€r fvd
dress will attract. The conference meets
here on July 25, Wednesday next* The
conference is held by negroes to discuss the
negro question. It is not a unanimous
project, and at first brought out consider
able opposition. Rev. Nixon and his as
sociates, however, went steadily ahead with
the idea and secured the speakers and to
day the programme was announced.

EDROPE LACKING
IN CHINESE NEWS
In the Meantime the Question is
Widely Discussed
AS TO SAFETY OF MINISTERS
One Message Received in Berlin Says
All Are Safe and Free from Mo
lestation Under Protection
ot the Goverement
London, July 22, 4 A. M.—In the absence
of news from China the papers devote
much space to a discussion of the pro and
con of the reliability of the Chinese as
sertions of the safety of the Pekin minis
ters. A similar discussion is being repeated
in various forms at the different European
capitals.
The latest news is the dispatch from
Che Foo of the date of July 20, received
in Berlin, saying that the governor of
Shan Tung had telegraphed all the con
suls. “I have just received authentic news
to the efTect that all the ministers are free
from molestation and under the protection
of the government.”
While these reiterations have been caus
ing some revival of hope, there Is, too, a
great distrust of Chinese sympathy for
any acceptance as to its truth.
A special from Sanghai announces the
arrival of the steamer Anping with Li
Hung Chang. The consuls at their various
meetings agreed that if the viceroy called
they would return the visit, and then al
low him to have an escort of 100 men
while passing through the settlements, it
being understood that the men must be
unarmed.

FOG IGF POLICEMEN
Officer Mullin Finds New Way of
Capturing a Fugitive
Row in a Saloon. •
Last night was a busy one for the police
department. Calls for the patrol wagon
were constantly coming In, and the officers
were kept busy until an early hour this
morning gathering in offenders
There was a lively row in the “Bell Top”
saloon, Twentieth street, between Second
and Third avenues, about 9:30 o’clock last
night between John Moore and Ed Good
rich. These twro were engaged in a rough
and tumble tight, which resulted in Good
rich receiving a knock-out blow in the left
1 eye.
As soon as Moore struck Goodrich he
broke and ran out of the saloon and down
Twentieth street. Policeman Mullin, who
was standing near the street corner, gave
chase. The fugitive turned up Third ave
nue towards Twenty-first street, and was
only captured after a hard race.
Officer Mullin put his club to a new and
somewhat novel use during the chase. See
ing that Moore was likely to escape ho
threw his club at his rapidly disappear
ing form. The aim was true and resulted
in the capture of the fugitive.
Both Moore and Goodrich were lodged In
the city Jail, Moore on a charge of assault,
| and Goodrich on a charge of disorderly
conduct.
I John Walker, who escaped from Coal
burg the early part of last weejc, was cap
tured in Sylacauga yesterday. He boarded
a Southern Railway train and w«s recog
nized by the conductor, who notified the
city marshal as soon as the train reached
Sylacauga.
The negro resisted arrest and w^as only
captured after being shot twice. His
wounds, according to all accounts, are not
serious. He is now in jail at Sylacauga
awaiting instructions from Chief Austin.
AT EAST LAKE
“Destiny” to be Griven a Fine Produc
tion Monday Night
The Robson Theater Company will begin
its third successful week tomorrow night in
a very pretentious production of tke
strongest drama in its repertoire, entitled,
“Destiry.”
“The play deals principally with Western
border life, abounds in strong dramatic
situations, wholesome comedy and plenty
of it, and is woven around as pretty and
pathetic a love story as was ever presented
on the American stage.
The company, which is Increasing in pop
ularity, will show up in its entire strength
tomorrow night. Each and every member
now has his or her respective following of
admirers, and all who attend tomorrow
night will have an opportunity to see their
respective favorites acquit themselves in
the most creditable manner.
The specialties of Miss Pfaff, Mr. Hall
and Mr. Earl P. Adams are features of
eyery performance. These three clever
people are far above the usual specialty
performers, and their work added to the
interest of the play itself, jvill furnish a
programme not excelled by anything ever
attempted at the park. Miss Nelson and
Mr. Robson will essay the leading roles.

CATARRH OF THE BOWELS.
[Peruna a Safeguard Against Summer Catarrn. J
o. W. Grier, Watsontown, Pa.
O. W. Grier, of Watsontown, Pa., says:
•<Peruna has done what four doctors
could not do. My bowels are now all
right and / recommend Peruna to
everybody who has bowel trouble It
Is our family medicine. I think 1
would have been In my grave to-day
bad It not been for you. ”
Robert W. Goodwin, Moddersville,
Mich., writes: “Pour years ago I had
been bothered with cramps in my sto
mach or down close to the bowels ever
since I was a boy. At the timo I took
your Peruna I was about thirty years
old. I was bothered quttooften through
the year and quito bad. They would
generally last for a day or two, but the
last time I had it it lasted over two
weeks, and was terribly baa. My wue
bought a bottle of Peruna, and the first
dose I took helped mo. I have only bad
one slight attack since, and that was
last spring and I took about two-thirds
of a bottle of Peruna to effect a cure.”
Mrs. George W. Taylor, Lex, Tenn.,
says: “I had had chronic diarrhoea for
six years. / tried everything I could
hear of and had consulted several phy
sicians without avail. My husband
bought me a bottle of Peruna and I
began to Improve at once. I can do
anything I ever could, and eat anything
without inconvenience; and when Isay
if it had not been for Peruna I would
now be in my grave, I do not think I
exaggerate.”
John W Metnvin, oi nciva, ai».i
writes: “I had what is called'catarrh
of the lower bowels, and no one knows^
the torture and misery I have passed
through. My doctor seemed to do me
no good. I had often heard of Peruna
when I was first taken sick, but I did
not know it was good^for catarrh, until
I saw one of Dr. Hartman’s advertlse
mentsin the paper. I made up my mind
I would try it, as my doctor was doing
mono good, i got a bottle of Peruna
and began to feel better after the first
dose. 1 believe If It had not been for
Peruna I would have died. Everyone
said / was going todieand 1 believed It.
To those who are suffering with ca
tarrh I take pleasure in reoommonding
your medicino to them.”

LIFE WAS BEAUTIFUL
AND ITS END IS PEACE
The Funeral .Services of Miss Annie O'Neill —
Solemn High Requiem Mass—The
Priest's Noble Tribute
The funeral services of Miss Annie
O’Niell took place in St. Paul’s church
yesterday forenoon. High Requiem Mass
was celebrated by the Rev. Father O'Reil- ]
ly, assisted by the Rev. Father Kennedy
and the Rev. Father Wright. According
to the custom of the church, there were
no flowers except three white wreaths on
the white coffin. Six candles were alight
on the high altar and streamers of black
crepe were hung on the altar below the
great crucifix. In an immense gilt candela
bra near the coffin twelve candles burned.
The priests wore vestments of black,
white-barred.
The music from the choir was nobly Im
pressive.
Father O'Reilly stood at the lower altar
steps In preaching the sermon. Pathos and
touching eloquence characterized the
priest’s beautiful tribute to the faithful
daughter of the church, gone to her rest j
after a brave struggle for a life that was
beautiful. Adverting to the divine promises
to all who die blessed in the faith, he
dwelt tenderly upon the virtues, the good
deeds, the faithfulness, the pious con- ■
stancy of her who was gone to God. Ear- |
nestly devoted to her holy religion, she
was ever a lover of charity’s work. She
prayed and labored to aid those who need
ed aid; to cheer the suffering, to lift the
lowly in want and in pain. And she was
happiest, this pure-hearted maiden of the
faithful, in seeking to promote the happi
ness of others. She was an example for
all to emulate.
Hundreds of persons, many of whom
were Protestants, were present and deeply
Interested in the solemn service.
The pall-bearers were: Dr. Edward
Drennen, John K. Warren, R. P. McAnal
ly, C. E. Jackson, Robert Kennedy* and
William Kennedy.
The interment was in Oak Hill ceme
