Pittsburg, Nov. 24. The high winds
continue but no further damage is re
ported today. The telegraphic service
is still paralyzed. Reports from various
sections of the state, indicate the worst
blizzard in years. , Tne sunny side school
house near Carlisle was blown down and
a number of pupils injured, and tb
teacher having her leg broken. At
Coultersville, a few miles above Mc
Keesport a farmer lad named Bailey,
about 15 years old; was crushed to death
under a falling building.
He Will Support Mills.
Washington, ov. 24. Bynum, of
Indiana, comes ut with a card .with
drawing from thl speakership. In hia
card Bynum saysi "1 never pressed my
candidacy and consented to only use my
name until it became evident that the
contest was' nawowed down between
Mills and Crisp. I
I shall heartil i support Mills. While
none of the candidates are strong tariff
reformers, nona so prominently repre
sents the position of the party on this
question as Mils. His defeat would in
a great measure be accepted as an
abandonment, if the tariff issue upon
which we must win in 1892, and there
should ,be no sonblance of wavering or
halting at this critical period."... v-

ing by Emperor .William. The confer

A. Prairie Fire.
Denison, Texas, Nov. 24. The news
has reached here of a disastrous prairie
fire near Colbert Station, in Indian ter
ritory, great quantities of hay was
burned, and much damage done. The
buildings were occupied mostly by poor
settlers. Much suffering no doubt will
ensue. '.. - ,
Fonseca's Proclamation.
London, Nv. 23. A dispatch received
from Bio Janeiro eays: Foneeca, in a
proclamation dated November 21 , has
appointed February 29, next, as the
day for holding the general elections,
and summons congress to assemble May
3. The president says the requirements
of the constitution, amended to secure
the independence of the judiciary and
the executive, provides safeguards for
upholding the presidential .vote, limit
ing the prerogatives of congress, enlarg
ing the powers of the executive and re
ducing the representation. The presi
dent insists that decorations and dis
tinctions will be respected. A telegram
from Pernambuco says a railway was
cut near Rio Janeiro last night and a
portion of it removed. It - is supposed
the work waB done by revolutionists.
It is reported the insurgents in Rio
Grande are fitting up an expedition to
capture. Desherro, on acconnt of its
harbor. '
Negotiations between the two parties
have practically ended. Both Fonseca
and the junta are now preparing with
the greatest possible speed for a trial at
arms. As cabled Friday, Fonseca sent a
force to attempt a landing near Bar
beasa, just south of the province of
Santa Catherina. Whether the object
is to defend Santa Catherina, or make a
land movement from the coast on Per
Allegro, is not knpwn. It is claimed
that the allegiance of the navy to
Fonseca is ' growing more and "more
doubtful,' and that the dictator himself
is alarmed by the evidence of lukewarra
ness on the part of his naval command
ers. He dare not remove any of them
for fear of arousing a general niutinv,
and, on the other band, the Rio Grande
junta is known to have received secret
assurances of naval support . and sym
pathy, which is one reason that accounts
for the boldness of its attitude.

minutes, as his head was horribly
mutilated.

AN EARTHQUAKE IX JAPAN.
Four Thousand People Killed Influenza
in Europe The Cruiser Phil
adelphia Unsafe.
Guthrie, I. T., Nov. 23. Particulars
of a strange duel have just reached here
from the Cimmaron country near the
western border of the territory. A
gambler named Bassett had a quarrel
with a ranchman named Weaver over a
game of poker in which the latter ac
cused the former of cheating. Both
men drew pistols, but by-standers
stopped them before they had a chance
to use them. The men were both game
and both dead shots. It was decided
that a duel was the onjy thing that
would settle the trouble, for it would be
sure to be renewed whenever they met.
The ordinary duelling code did not
satisfy them, and they entered into a
peculiar agreement. . By its terms they
were to withdraw to a room and friends
were to load one revolver. A blanket
was placed over the table and two re
volvers placed under the blanket, one
empty and the other loaded. The men
came into the room and tossed a dollar
for choice of pistols. Weaver won the
choice. The terms were that both men
should draw the 'revolvers from under ;
the blanket, aim and fire at the same
time. One would be sure to fall dead,
while the other would be unharmed.
The positions were taken and the
revolvers drawn.- Basset fired first, or
at least he was quickest to snap his gun,
which failed to respond, showing that he
had received the unloaded pistol. With
out flinching, he placed his revolver on
the table and folded his arms,, calmly
looking Weaver in the face. . Weaver
took his time and deliberately aimed at
the center of Bassett's forhead. After
what must have been an eternity to the
latter, Weaver slowly raised the pistol
and fired the ball through the ceiling
saying that Bassett was too brave a man
to die and he did not believe he had
cheated. The men became fast friends,,
and all danger of trouble is past as far
ae they are concerned. : ,
Return of a Boy Stolen by Gypsies.
Erie, Penn. , ' Nov. 23. A train
brought to Erie tonight a young farmer
from Somerset county, who was en
route to his home near Ogdensburg,
N. Y., whence he was' stolen by gypsies
when three years of age. The young
man, now twenty-two years old, was
secured in the way of a transfer from a
band of gypsies. He was adopted by
George M. Nichols, of Somerset county,
and the story of his adoption was pub
lished a few days ago in . an Elrnira
paper. A copy fell into the hands of his
brother, and he was identified by a
birthmark and injury which he had re
ceived when a child, The parents of
the stolen boy are Mr. and Mrs. John
Sapphire, and they live on the old farm
from which he was kidnapped.
. The Testimony Completed.
Valparaiso, Nov. 23. The testimony
of the Baltimore's sailors was completed
today, with the exception of that of
those physically unable to appear.
Judge Foster is seemingly impressed
with the clearness of the testimony ' to
the fact that Regan was killed by 'a
policeman's bullet, but it cannot be
proved whether it was by accident or
intentionally. Patric Shields, a fireman.
has filed a claim with the United States
consul for $5000 damages for injuries re
ceived from the Chilian police.
Result of the Eaathquake in Japan.
San Francisco, Nov. 23. The
steamer China arrived from Hong Kong
and Yokohama this mornrhg bringing
details of the greet earthquake which
occurred in Japan on October 28th. The
latest official figures up to November 7th
show that 4134 people were killed in the
various districts where the earthquake
was felt, 6125 injured, 31,472 houses
totally demolished, 8157 partlv des-
ttoyed, 6534 burned and 182,499 people
rendered homeless.
The Cruiser Philadelphia is Unsafe.
New York,' Nov. 23. The Times eays
the metacentric height of the .cruiser
Philadelphia is so low that she is only
prevented from turning bottom up by
carrying all the water she can hold n
her double-bottom, space. Naval Con
structor Mintonye estimates the cost of
necessary alterations at $275,000, and
involves a lowering of the protective
deck.
