The Kentucky Election — Earthquakes in Indiana and Alabama—A Curious Indian Relic—The President’s Tour Fatal Affray at a Ball. The FerryBoulanger; Duel. Associated Press. London, August 3.—The attempts cf Gen. Boulanger’s seconds to arrange a duel between their principal and M. Jules Ferry have assumed phases affording much amusement to (disinterested persons. The bickerings of the representatives of the exministers have gone far to confirm the opinion formed by many that the affair would ultimately end in a fizzle, and the tact'cs employed appeared to have been borrowed for the occasion from the devotees of the prize nng. Sympathy, however, is largely with Gen. Boulanger, and the suspicion is rapidly gaining ground that M. Ferry will not fight unless he can be assured that the chances of his getting hurt will be reduced to a remote possibility. In fact, men who have given the matter any thought, and there is scarcely one who has not, find it difficult to eliminate from the things to b. considered the suggestion of cowardice acqompanying the action ofa man who goes out of his way to insult another, and, when sa isfaction is demanded of him on the field of honor, insists upon limiting the liability of danger to himself to a single exchange of shots at twentyfive paces. This proposition, coming from M. Ferry’s representative, was promptly and indignantly rejected by Count Dil Ion, on behalf of Gen, Boulanger, and his action is applauded by men who yesterday believed that M. Ferry was justified in bis stricture upon Gen. Boulanger, and denounced the latter's imprudence in representing the former’s language in the manner he chose, as tending to vindicate his wounded honor. On the other hand Gen. Boulanger’s friends insist more strenuoudy than ever that nothing but the shedding of M. Ferry’s blood will suffice to repair the injury he has inflicted upon France’s most conspicious if not her greatest soldier. Nobody doubts that in a meeting without restriction as to the number of shots to be exchanged, Gen. Boulanger would kill M. Ferry if he possibly could, but that is not the kind of a duel the latter wants to fight. M. Ferry has shown himself to be a thorough opportunist in this affair, if he has never done so before, by availing himself of the first opportunity pre sented to shirk the consequences of his illchosen and unprovoked language in a political speech, intended to grossly insult a man injevery respect his peer.|and as the action of his representatives has shown, in respect of bravery, his superior. Count Dillon, who, it may incidentally be mentioned is the managing director of the Commercial (MackayBennett) Cable Company, is said to have remarked to a friend, after his withdrawal from the conference of seconds, that a duel between the expremier and the ex minister of war was yet possible, but if it should be fought according to the methods of safety insisted upon by M. Ferry, it could not possibly be otherwise than a harmless affair. That Gen.| Boulanger would consent to such an arrangement, both he and others of the general’s friends did not believe. The Northrup Murder Case. Associated Press. Chicago, August, 3.—A News special from Portsmouth, O., says the jury in the celebrated case of Alf McCoy, charged with the murder of Dr. Northrup, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. The crime of Me Coy was the killing in May last at Haverhill of Dr. Northrup. The victim was a prohibitionist, and it was claimed that McCoy, who owned a saloon, felt an enmity toward him on that account. On the day of the murder the men had a little dispute about guinea fowls. Dr. Northrup wa£ attacked by Alf McCoy, the prisoner, as well as Dy James McCdy, his brother, and Pierson McCoy, James McCoy’s son. Northrup defended himself unarmed until the young McCoy brought a gun. After his father arid uncle had emptied their pistols he gave It to the prisoner, who deliberately shot to death the already wounded Northrup. McCoy was postmaster of the village at the time of the murder. There is much dissatisfaction with the verdict, as the shooting was demoniac, and most of the population regard it worthy of capital punishment. The President’s Tour. Associated Press. Washington, August 3.—The president said today that he felt it to be absolutely necessary that he should in every case request those cities which proposed to send delegation to Washington conveying invitations to visit them on his trip, to forego that formality and forward their communications by mail. He has a full appreciation of the co.dial spirit which prompts such courtesy, which is most gratifying, but it seems to him unnecessary that such journeys for such a purpose at this heated season of the year should be undertaken. In addition to this consideration, he said it had been his purpose to absent himself from the capitol and White House, as he should feel disposed during this month, and to make no engagements which would require his presence here at any stated time. It is probable that he will leave here the last day of September and go directly to St. Louis, and from there to Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee. Chicago, Nashville and Atlanta. The St. Louis and Atlanta dates being fixed, it will not be practicable to deviate much from this programme. The journey will be made by the ordinary route of travel between the cities named, and the disposition of the president will be to see as much of the country and the people on his route as will be consistent with the limited time and positive engagements. A Fatal Affray. Associated Press. New Orleans, August 3.—At a Saturday night ball on the Doran place in Assumption parish, Frank Berthel sat down on Edmund Geautreaux’s hat. This led to a quarrel and they agreed to fight it out with fists. They went out into the yard, and as they began Geautreaux knocked Berthel down with his fist. Berthel then arose and as he was knocked down a second time he stabbed Geautreaux in the left arm. Geautreaux knocked Berthel down several times and each time receiving a severe cut. Notwithstanding the severe cuts Geautreaux had received, Berthel was so severely beaten that he cried “enough.” Then Geautreaux attempted to walk to the house, but staggered and was caught by his friends. He called tor his mother and died. It was found that Geautreaux had a loaded pistol but would not use it. Seventeen wounds were found on him, eight were in his back and one through his heart. Berthel was arrested next dav and locked up in the Napoleonville jail. Geautreaux was twentyone years old and Berthel nineteen. A Drouth in Kansas. Associated Press CHICAGO, August 3.—A special from Parsons, Kan., says: A genuine case of drouth of has prevailed here since July 4. On that day rain fell in torrents, since which scarcely a drop has fallen, and although the ground was thoroughly soaked at that time, and the corn was exceedingly well advanced, the dry weather which has prevailed since shows a damaging effect on it. Although early planted corn “is beyond iniury by drouth, there are thousands of acres that were planted after the wheat had been harvested from the ground, and that had the heavy rains that prevailed in June continued, would have made a goqd average crop, which will now be so retardea in its growth as to make it worth less for anything more than fodder. and belongs to an illustrious family. He was chief justice of the supreme court of the Cherokee Nation for a term of years and is an able and distinguished man. Sam Smith, who was elected chief, is a blue blood Cherokee. The triumph of Mayes will completely change the political situation in the Cherokee country. The Bushyhead, or national party, which supported Bunch, has held office for years and shaped the policy of the Cherokees regardless of the wishes of the masses. The official machinery was under their control and their defeat is regarded almost as miraculous. Mayes is liberal and progressive and is pledged to reform. He is chosen for a fouryear term. The friends of Bunch still claim his election. Kicking Against a Law. Associated Press. Huntsville, Ala., August 3—Dr. \V. H. Saunders, the physician appointed to rhake examination ' of locomotive engineers and other railroad employees under the new state law which went into effect yesterday, abandoned his work at Stevenson. He was arrested on a writ of mandamus, which requires him to complete his tests as to color blindness. His reason for abandonment is said to be trouble with the railroad, men. who dislike the new law, many of them refusing to be examined. Over 20,000 men are affected by the law and it is estimated that over 3,000 will be forced to give up their positions. » A Glimpse of Susie Beck's Murderer. Associated Press. LoNjioN, Ont., August 3.—Rev. Wm. Thomas Abbott West, who is wanted in St. Louis for the murder of Susie Beck, last Thursday .hurriedly visited his brpther Peter West, who has , two of the poisoner’s children in his charge. Peter West said Rev. West paid his greetings to the family, talked to the children a few minutes and left as suddenly as he had come. He did not refer at all to his St. Louis trip, but spoke affectionately of his wife. London detectives now believe he has taken refuge near here with some of his former religious associates. _____ The New Cherokee Chief. Associated Press. Little Rock. August 3.—An Indian Territory special says later returns from the election for chief of the Cherokees, which was held Monday, indicates that Mayes has been chosen over Bunch by a small majority.

Local option was an issue in’some counties, carrying in two or three instances. The prohibition vote is light, hut there are some votes in nearly every precinct. The republican vote indicates a falling off from that of four years ago. The legislature will be about ninety democratic majority on joint ballot. The republicans have gains in the legislature. There will be two labor men and three to five prohibitionists in the legislature. Intelligence comes from Manchester, Clay county, that a fierce fight occurred at the polls during the voting on Monday.

The dead men are Jack Hacker, Daughtefy White, J. G. White, Dale Little and two unknown men who are shot.
