BT CABLE TO TEE DISPATCH. Betjssels, April 23. Copyright A duel was fought this afternoon by Edward Fox and Hallett Alsop Borrowe, in the hollows of the sand dunes oa the Belgian coast, near Newport Bains,a few miles from Ostend. It resulted in nothing worse than a triple perforation of the skirts of Fox's new frock coat, but was as close a call as a man often has. Borrowe's bullet went into the coat about six inches below the lowest button, so close to Fox's abdomen that it scraped his trous ers. Had Borrowe bettered his aim by half an inch the result would have been fatal be yond a doubt. There were seven1 persons present at the encounter beside the principals. Fox was seconded by William B. Bacon, Jr., of Boston, and Borrowe by Harry Vane Mil bank. The others present were Edwin Cleary, the actor of Covington, Ky.", a surgeon and Monsieur T?rovost,proprietor of the Hotel Provost, near which the duel took place, and two reporters. A Chance of Tenne Necessary. It had been intended that the men should meet on Colonel North's Belgian property, near Antwerp, the nitrate king having given Fox permission, but as the police got wind of the affair it was found necessary, at S o'clock this morning, to change the venue. An effort was made to leave London se cretly, but all the parties to the affair were misled simultaneously from their accus tomed haunts, and the secret soon leaked out Bacon arrived at the Hotel de 1'Europe, Antwerp, at 8 o'clock yesterday evening, having come from London by way of Queensboro and Fulshing. Milbank landed the night before by way of Dover, Calais end Brussels, and Fox by way of Harwich. Edwin Cleary met Fox on the railroad plat form as the train was leaving, and accom panied him as a matter of friendship. Nobody Had a 'Wink of Sleep. Borrowe got to Brussels via Paris, and all were at the Hotel de 1'Europe, in Antwerp, before 2 o'clock this morning. None of them went to bed. Fox and Borrowe wrote letters all night, while Milbank and Bacon discussed the details of the coming duel, and Cleary made arrangements for the place of meeting with a kind-hearted Antwerp man who knew Provost, the hotel man near Os tend, and who was loth that the men should lose the opportunity of shooting at each other. Milbank and Borrowe left Antwerp for Ostend at 5 o'clock in the morning and the others in two parties, agreeing not to recog nize each other en route lest they should rouse the suspicions of the police. Both parties met at Ghent, however, and Bor rowe and Fox passed within a few feet of each other. Borrowe's face was impressive, but Fox looked npon his prospective an tagonist with ill-concealed contempt Luncheon Eaten In Two Divisions. Otend was reached at noon, and the parties drove out in carriages to Newport, where luncheon was eaten in two divisions at the Hotel Provost As 2:30 o'clock the surgeon arrived, and then the nine men strolled out to the sand dunes, Landlord Provost carrying the surgeon's case of in struments under his coat, and affecting to be showing his guests the scenery. It was not ten minutes' walk to the end of the pretty village, and then only five minutes' stroll over the little hills until a hollow was found from which the roofs of the houses could not be seen. The interest was nowtntense, as the two principals and the others watched the seconds pace off the ground. It had been decided that the men should fire two shots at 12 paces and all present knew that both meant business. The weapons were a pair of 45-caliber dueling pistols owned by Mil bank, who fired them both in Bacon's presence to show that they were in proper condition. Both Dressed In Proper Dnelinc Style. The pistols were then reloaded and Fox and Borrowe were called to the scene of action. Both were dressed, as the etiquette of dueling requires, in frock coats and top hats. Fox wore his on the train from Antwerp, but Borrowe came thence in a swagger traveling suit, wearing a round bat and bringing a valise and hatbox. He made the change at the Hotel Provost, and changed back again after the affair was over. If Borrowe is a coward he did not show it this afternoon. He was absolutely cool and imperturbable, and Fox's nonchalance was never disturbed. "Gentlemen," said Milbank, after Bor rowe and Fox had been placed 12 paces apart, and the revolvers handed to them, "I shall say ready, fire, one, two, three; you inav fire at any time between the words one and three. Are you ready?" "Beady," said Borrowe. Fox did not reply. A Besnlt Keached 'Without Bloodshed. "Beady? Keady fire one " Bang went both pistols at once, before the word "two" was spoken. Neither of the men spoke a word, and the seconds ad vanced and took away the weapons. Both men stood in their tracks during the trying ceremony of reloading the revolvers. The only indication of nervousness on Borrowe's part was his lighting a cigarette. Fox never stirred. When Milbank spoke the word "one" again, both men fired. As before, Borrowe stood still, but Fox lifted his hat, Borrowe returning the courtesy. Both seconds ran up and found Fox's eoat perforated, as related. Honor was de clared satisfied, and Milbank said: "Gen tlemen, my pistols have been in good hands." "I wish," said Milbank to Bacon, "that we could bring about a reconciliation," bnt that was impossible. "I will take back," said Borrowe to Mil bank, "what I said in my letter to Fox about his being a contemptible coward." The Letter That Caused the Duel. The letter referred to, which brought about the duel, was written to Fox by Bor rowe, and delivered by Milbauk last Sun day. It is as follows: Sir Ton have stated that you had my con sent and authority to publish the corre spondence In the affair between Mr. Drayton and myself. Ton lied when you stated this, and your letters to me on the subject prove that von aeted without mv knowledge, con sent or authority. Ton have further stated that I have been sheltering myself behind the broad shoulders or Harry Mil bank, I quote your own words, .and I azain tell you that you lie. That Mr. Mllbank's good faith should have continued after your despicable conduct had placed me In a false position, must be beyond your comprehension. I fully believe it would indeed be difficult foryon to under stand tbat to be loyal to your friends is a privilege among gentlemen, not an act of self sacrifice. Asa second yon are a lamentable failure, Mr. Fox; perhaps as a principal you mlht be a success. Personally, I doubt this, be cause, in my opinion.a man wbo is untrue to others is untrue to himself, and lie who has not the courage of his opinions has not the couaajre to combat the opinion of others or, to nut it more terselv. I believe vou to be as contemptible a coward as you have proved yourself a liar. May I not hope that a man who has once called himself my friend will still give me the only proof tbat can Justify me in changing my opinion. I am, sir, your obedient servant. Herbert alsop Borrows. Pox Sticks to Bits Statement In response to this Mr. Bacon called npon Milbank and invited him to come to Bel gium to discuss matters, with the result related. The last thing Fox did before he left the Hotel de L'Europe this morn ing was to write a statement in which he reiterates that he was authorized by Borrowe to publish the duel correspond ence, and states that Colonel Tom Ochiltree prevailed upon him to act as Borrowe's sec ond in the proposed duel with Drayton. The princicals and seconds in to-dav's duel left Ostend by the 8:40 boat for London. AN ANARCHIST'S FACTORY FOUNT IN HOBOKEN THROUGH OWNER'S BAD TEMPER, ITS When Arrested for Belnc Drank and Dis orderly Ha Hakes Threats Which Oars Him Away The Police Find Vast Quan tities of Infernal Machines and Explo sives. New Yoek, April 23. George Stanley, an Anarchist in Hoboken, was arrested Tuesday on complaint of Albert Wagner, a saloon keeper, living in the house with Stanley, on the charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and was sent up for 30 days. When arrested Stanley made dire threats of vengeance against all concerned in his arrest, but no attention was paid to him. To-day Mrs. Stahley said her husband had made threats to annihilate Becorder Mc Donough and the police and to blow up Wagner's saloon when he got out ot prison, and she was in great fear that he would carry out his tbreat She also informed the policeman that her husband had been en gaged of late in manufacturing d vnamite bombs and other deadly articles, and offered to convince him that such was the fact if he would accompany her to the house. A policeman went to Stanley's house, and there, in a room occupied as a workshop, was found explosives, pieces of gas pipe with triggers attached, fire bombs, com pressed white powder, swords, revolvers and two boxes of cartridges. These were seized and sent to police head quarters, and the white powder, the most dangerous explosive known, was thrown into the river. The police authorities have not yet decided what action will be taken, but the matter will probably be laid before the grand jury. TB00PS DODGING THE BTJSTEEB8.

GOULD HAMEb THE MAN. Seeing He Was Certain to Be Ousted, He Chose Hayes as a Compromise. New York, April 2a Speaking of the change that is to take place in the presi dency of the Union Pacific Bailroad Com pany, and the ousting of Bussell Sage and Jay Gould from the directory, a well in formed gentleman said to a reporter: Mr. Gould orzinated the change of man agement himself. He saw that he was llte ly.ro be forced out by a combination of the foreign interests with those of the Vander bilts. The Vanderbilt Interests might have considered it worth while to secure control of the property. They might operate the Union Pacific with advantage in connection with the Chicago and Northwestern, and that scheme, very probablv. was the key to the situation which bi ought about the change of management announced to be made. Mr. Gould, foreseeing the probable outcome, suggested the name of Captain Hayes as a compromise candidate lor the presidency of the company. Two Boys Capture a Horse Thief. Huntingdon, April 2a J.

Chicago'i Blaine Club Demands the Secre tary's Nomination , IK SPITE OF HIS LATE DECLINATION fBrEClAL TELEGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH. 1 Cincinnati, April 2a Grover Clevgr land's friends were out in force to-night at the Odeon, at a meeting called to boom him for the Democratic Presidental nomination. There were present many prominent in the Democratic faith, and a sprinkling of the much abused Mugwumps. Such old-time Bepublicans as Lawrence Maxwell, Charles B. Wilby and Bev. George Augustine Thayer were numbered with Democrats of the local school like Captain Hollowey, Judge Harmon, ex-Postmaster Biley, Colonel John W, Harper, B. B. Bowler and Adam Kramer. The rank and file was also there to hear "Dixie" played on the organ and enjoy the addresses laudatory of tbe leader of tbe party in the past two na tional campaigns. . Hon. Theodore Cook occupied the chair, and he at once sounded the keynote 'of the evening in declaring that while admitting the good qualities of others, there was a man above all others fitted to lead in the coming conflict He declared that Grover Cleveland was the logical candidate of the Democratic party. His nomination would serve as a platform for the party on Tariff Reform and Honest Honey, for he stands a leader of the opponents of a tariff that enriches one million at the ex pense of a hundred million. He had been attacked. So were Jefferson and Jackson. Like them he would be triumphantly elected a second time, and become enshrined for ever in the hearts of the Democracy. Ever since the day he came upon the stage of public life be has grown in the estimation and confidence of the American people, and was to-day hailed as one of the first states men of tbe age. Hbn. William M. Bamsey ' next spoke, and arraigned Tammany as a lot of spoils men. He asserted that the Democracy had better put up the shutters than yield to the dictates of such a clan. The Democracy was tired of their dominations, and New York would send thousands to Chicago for Cleveland. The Democraoy had become sick of Tammany's wail that New York could not be carried save by their grace. That was proved false in Tilden's case. A General Demaudf or Grover. The country demanded Grover Cleveland, and he would be nominated, for he has earned the confidence of the whole country, irrespective of party. If the Democracy was organized simply for spoils tbe sooner it was dissolved the better. Tammany did not want Tilden. It does not want Cleve land. Tbe threat repeated every four years that we must nominate a 2ew York man or suffer defeat is no longer feared. Grover Cleveland, will not only get New York's electoral vote, but that of Ohio and other States that Tammany could not get within 1,000 miles ot. General Michael Bran, Bev. Mr. Thayer, Hon. J. P. Carberry and Judge Harmon also spoke. General Bvan made a referenda" to Hill, .without mentioning his'nauiqvde-if hisses were mingled with the applause.

The Chicago Blaine Club is engaged in a Groeco-Boman Wrest ling match with the political situation. The first result is a set ot resolutions, the circulation of which' in printed form was commenced to-day. The resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by the club, re cite that while the written declaration of Mr. Blaine that he is not a candidate for the Presidency "undoubtedly expressed his true intention" and was "his right and priv ilege as an American citizen," "the people have rights which are paramount to the rights of the individual.' It is declared that "the office should seek the man," and further along that "it becomes the duty of Individual citizens to ignore his personal wishes and bow to the will of the majority. " Mr. Blaine is extolled as "the greatest American," and it is submitted that "there exists all over this nation a wide spread and universal desire at this im portant period of our history that our standard bearer shall be the hero of re ciprocity." In conclusion the resolutions say: The Chicago Blaine Club earnestly urges npon all similar clubs throughout the land, and upon all citizens who are in sympathy with this movement, a vigorous and com bined effort whloh shall result in the nomi nation of Air. Blaine, trusting to his tried and true loyalty to the party which has bon ded him in the past, to his regard for the wishes of the faithful who have followed him so Ions, to bis sense of duty to his coun try for which ho has done so much, to ac cept his nomination.

Mr. Heoksoher was a warm personal friend of Mr. Gray, and was by him intro duced into the family. He became a fre quent visitor at the home of the Grays, and it was not long before his attentions to the wife of his friend began to attract notice. The talk of the town was not long in reach ing tbe ears of Mr. Gray, who, it is said, had the utmost confidence in his friend's honor and integrity. Finally there came bickerings and conten tion in the Gray household, but the domestic storm broke in all its fury when Mr. Heck scher and the wife of his friend met at the Albemarle Hotel, New York, one day and the fact became known to Mr. Gray. It is said that some time previous to this dis covery Mr. Gray declared that a child of which Mrs. Gray became a mother was not his, and he absolutely refused to recognize it or have anything to do with it in any way. After the hotel episode Mr. Gray sent a challenge to Mr. Heckscher, and New York laws being stringent against dueling the belligerents recognized that the proposed meeting could not safely take place. A Duel Fought in Canada. Arrangements were made to settle the difficulty in Canada. Sunday evenine, June 22, 1873, the principals with their re spective seconds started on the same train tor Bouse's Point, at the head of Lake Champlain. Dr. George A. Peters was Mr. Gray's private physician and accompanied his friend to the field of honor. It was agreed at the Ipst moment tbat Dr. Peters should serve whichever principal required his services. The story runs that a suitable spot for the encounter was found not a great distance from the frontier in the edge of the wood. The late A. W. Olason was Mr. Heckschec's second, and it is believed that Mr. Carroll Livingston acted for Mr. Gray. The weapons were pistols, and the distance 12 paces. A single exchange of shots was to end the quarrel. It is represented tbat when the word to fire was given Mr. Grav promptly discharged bis weapon. His bullet passed through the skirt of his opponent's frock coat Mr. Heckscher did not fire until several seconds after the sig nal was given. He kept the muzzle of his weapon pointing toward Gray nntil the smoke from the latter's pistol 'had cleared away, when he slowly raised his arm and fired in the air. The Duel Got Into Court According to some stories, the belliger ents became reconciled while on the journey southward, while other versions of the affair are to quite the opposite effect Ar riving in New York, the dueling party secluded themselves, and in a short time Mr. Gray and Mr. Livingston went to Europe. Mr. Grav subsequently obtained a divorce. Meanwhile the excitement over he affair was intense, and it formed the topic of conversation nearly everywhere, especially in the Union Club, of which or ganization both men were members. Mr. Clason. when summoned before the grand jury, gave his version of the duel. An indictment against the other partici pants in the affair was found, but through its faulty construction, at least in the eyes of District Attorney Garvin, it was not formally presented. Belore another grand jury Mr. Clason refused to answer on the ground that his answers would criminate himself. Mr. Clason was remanded in custody of a deputy sheriff. After staying in jail some days he was discharged. Clason Took All the Blame. Mr. Clason after his release issued a card, in which he admitted that he had asked Mr. Heckscher and Mr. Gray to go to Canada, and that he had suggested that Mr. Living ston accompany them. He denied that he had delivered" either message or challenge. Mr. Clason's card goes on: The duel has been termed a farce. I only am censurable. Had I chosen thai o that it should be fought with one loaded and one unloaded pistol breast to breast such would bave been its course. Had I asked a second or third Are it would have been given. Few of those who sneer at "the larce" would feel before a pistol at 12 paces only a sense of tbe ludicrous. A second has no concern with a quarrel. His function is to secure fair play and ends on the field. Com pelled to appear befoie grand juries, I in sisted (for others) upon a legal privilege of declining to answer. When tbat privilege was judicially denied, my duty to others was discharged. Mr. John G. Heckscher is a son of A. Heckscher, a coal merchant long since dead, well known in BroDkivn and New York. Before his duel with Mr. Gray, Mr. Heck scher married Miss Whitney, a grand daughter of Stephen Whitney, and closely connected with the Phoenix and other New York families. She had a very large for tune. Mrs. Heckscher died a year a?o the 30th of last month at her residence on Madi son avenue, New York, after about two days' illness. The bride is the daughter of William B. Travers, the famous wit EAGEB FOB HIS LIBERTY. A Forger Convict Offers to Secure Hill the Democratic Nomination.

Boston, April 2a Special The Bos ton water board has a stupendous scheme in contemplation for a greater water supply which, if carried cut, will mean, before tbe end is reached, the expenditure ot fully 120,000,000 and the wiping out of two towns. The plan is to bring water from the Deer field river to Boston. The ground has already been surveyed by the water board. The Deerfield valley is about 90 miles from Boston by a direct line. The river follows the line of the Fitchburg Bailroad. The country for miles about is sparsely settled, and there are but a few small man ufacturing concerns which are in any way dependent upon the Deerfield river for their water supply, but should the plan be finally adopted, it would be necessary to wipe out one, if not two villages in Frank lin county. These are Colerain and Charle mont The former has a population of almost 1,700 persons and the latter about 1,000. To take the waters of the Deerfield river now would, in the opinion of experts, insure a pure supply for Boston. The stream is almost entirely free from pollu tion, and the supply would be good for at least 50 years. t A CHILD'S HABB0W ESCAPE, Flve-Xear-OId Girl Bides on the Cow catcher or a Grip Car.

He said to-night: I went into thisbusiness ahouS two months, ago because I was in debt. I've been work ing for a man named Gordon, wbo is a painter and lives at 1609 Alexander street. He's a good man, and he didn't bave any thing to do with this. I had to pay my dehtst somehow. There were two fellows that came to me last winter and said this was a goodN business to work and wanted me to go In with them, bnt I did not. When I sot ready I went in for myself. I do all my work alone. I've held up ten men. One of them didn't gee Into the papers. That was about six weeks ago, 'way out on Myrtle avenue, out side tbe city limits. He shot at me and I shot at him. It was dark and I chased a round a good deal. He fli ed five shots at me and I fired nine at him. I had two re volvers. Tho Personification of Cheek. On a Friday night I met H. O. Wheeler, leader of the orohestra ae the Grand Opera House. At the point of a pistol I ordered, him to hold up his hands, and, on his failure to do so, Bhot at him once and ran. I took off my mask, went around the block, took off the overcoat I wore and threw it over my arm, and then met Wheeler again. "I heard some shoottne. Was anvbody hurt?" I said. Then I listened to bis story of tho attempt at highway robbery. Wheeler said tne robber was 5 feet, 9 inches tall. The nisht after thati robbed Conductor Tan Meter and shot Gripman flullips. I rode on Van Meter's car the next day and asked him about the robbery. He said tbe robber ran away. In 'act, I walked south on Brooklyn avenue, with my head turned, so as to see behind me, and I never ran once. The capture of the highwayman came in this way: Some little boys were playing in the vacant timbered lot across the street from 1611 Alexander street. In a hollow tree they found a revolver, some money and a watch chain. They told the police. The police lay in wait A little after dark Capt Burns and Sergeant Burgess arrested Johnny as he was about to look for this property. They took him to the station. There Johnny made a confession. Frops of the Eoy Bobber. The police found in the tree a black falsa mustache, one pawn ticket for a silver watch, one gold watch, one police star, stamped "City Marshal," one nickel novel. The nickel novel was entitled "Jack Wright and his Electric Turtle; or. Chasing the Pirates of the Spanish Main," by "No Name." One of bis pistols, he said, was hidden under the sidewalk in lront of 1725 Mont gall.avenue, and there it was found. Miss Bowbolton, a pretty 15-year-old girl, lives in this houe, and Bishop often called on her. Her parents thought he was an exem plarv youne man. "No, I don't spend my money oa any girl," said Bishop, when his name was mentioned. "I have taken hereto thethea ter once since I went into thfs business. That's all the money I spent After I got out of debt I kepi on just to get money. That's the reason I did it, I guess." Tbe police say the boy has committed every robbery reported from the East Side for the past six weeks. An effort will be made to show that this boy is insane, the result of excessive cig?tte smokins.
