A DESPERATE DUZL. Two Men the Victims of a Kentucklan'a Aim. The most desperate duel that has taken place in the Blue Grass region since the fa mous fight in which Goodloo and Swope killed each other occurred in the Woodford Hotel, at Versailles, Ky., when William New ton Lane, of Lexington, shot and instantly killed James Rodenbaugh and mortally wounded the young man's father, H. C. Ro denbaugh. The facts leading up to the difficulty show that it was the result of a drunken debauch. Lane went to the Woodford Hotel about noon and got a room. After a while he asked the young man the amount of his bill and, xipon receiving an .answer, began to abuse James Rodenbaugh, who was a cripple. Their words soon, came to blows, and both men drew their pistols -about the same time. Lanes first shot struck Rodenbaugh in the neck just above the collar bone. It ranged around through the'jugular vein and lodged under the skin in the back of the neck. Al most at the same instant that Lane fired Rodenbaugh's pistol was discharged, the bul let producing a flesh wound of little conse quence in Lane's left side Jn a line with his heart. The blood gushed from Rodenbaugh' s throat, and giving a few gasps he fell back ward a corpse. Just as ho fell his father opened the door, and as he did so Lane turned upon the father and fired, the ball striking him in the mouth and lodging in the back part of his heal. He reeled and Lane fire I again, the second bullet lodging in tha ol I man's spine. - He dropped to the flosr and lay by the side of his son. H. C.

Ten British Subjects Butchered All Ile longed to the Missions at Kucheng In the Interior The Victims Terribly Maltreated Before They Were Slain Young Children Sacrificed by the Mob. !

The experiences of the sur vivors were terrible. They sy thr.t Vtk was the least part of the sufferings of the butchered women, j The indignation 'in Shanghai is intense. The mandarins endeavor to blame certain secret societies for the outrage. Europeans, however, regard this as nonsense. The officials are renewing their old tactics of stopping telegrams. The London Slandard demands that 1 he murderers be visited with condign punish ment, and that a stern example be made of the officials who virtually connived at the commission of the (crime. The paper will say: "If the Emperor cannot or will not pro tect British residents, we must give him as sistance of a kind he will not welcome." The London Chronicle says it trusts that Great Britain and the United Slates will eom bine to teach the Chinese a lesson that will cause foreigners to be respected forever, but in view of the conditions existing in the country, the bodies sending missionaries there, especially women, incur tho gravest responsibility. The London Times says: "The outrage must, of course, form the subject of strong representations to China from England, and probably from the United States also. It must not be passed over as a trine. Immunity of would cause a standing lives and property of the community in China." The Time3 prints a dispat3h from Shanghai saying that the mis sionary sanitarium at Whasang, near Kucheng, was attacked and five women were killed and two womn and two children were wounded. Some others are missing. Later reports, the dispatch adds, state that ten persons were killed. ! The Rev. Dr. Stewart and his wife and ono child were burned ti death in their house. The Misses Pellow and Marshall, the two Misses Saunders, the two Mioses Gordon and Mis3 Newcombe were murdered with spears and swords. Miss Godringtoa was seriously wounded about the head.
