Chester is t wen y miles north ol here, ana nepimrn, who r at an engineer on the rnsco railroad, was lying over at that station between runs, The day was hot and oppressive, and several persons were asleep on the p'atform Among them was W. E. Sims, pro rietor of a saloon in ChesU r. Hepburn, who was known to his as sciates as a practical jok-r, thro.igU h - would have some fun with the sleep ing men, and picked out Kims bs his victim. Carefully cutting the saloon keeper s shoe strings, the engineer then removed bis shoes and hid them at some distance. A few minutes laier Sims awoke and was astouidied to find him self standing only in his so ks A hois tercus laugh apprised hiui that be had been made the victim of a juke., and turning nn-rilv to the crowd he ex pressed a willingness to thrash the man who had removed his shoes. Hepburn immediately stepped forward anl ac knowledgcd timt l e hail dune the deed No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the saloonkeeper rushed a the engineer and stabbed him in the side with a pocket knife. The wound was only a slight one, and as bystanders interfered all trouble promised to be over. But Hepburn, who, until the knife thrust was made, had considered the matter in no other light than a joke, in formed Sims that if he really took it so seriously be (Hepburn) would give him an opportunity for revenge, and ho sug gested that they secure suitable weap ons and fight it out. Sims at once acquieeced, and both men left for their boarding houses which were near by. Quite a crowd had collected by this time, but the by stand ers either did not rea'ize how serious the sequal promised to lie or else they bad no desire to stop the duel, for they made no attempt to prevent the meeting. A few minutes Inter Hepburn sp- peared on the steps of his boarding house, revolver in bend, and Sims simi larly armed, came out ol a n oar-by building. The men were separated by about the with of a Btreet, when both raised their weapon and fired. Neither was hit, and a sceon exchange of shots follow ed.

(via Key Wrst.J The money question ia the all-absorbing topic of the hour. Ever since Gen eral Weyler issued bis famous decree, or dering tbe Spanish bank's paper money to be accepted at par with gold, it was forseeu that serious complications would arise, because, not having the govern ment's proper guarantee, it could not be accepted as a circulat ng Hiedium. The government is doing all in its pow er to sustain the value of the paper. threatening with severe penalties those w ho refuse to acrtept it on the same basis with gold. The Spanish bank, with the assistance of the government, in order to uphold its pnpBr, announced its willingne-s to accept it in paymtnt of drafts on Spain, but when one of the al bankers, as a test case, solicited from the bank a draft on Spain for Jlo.OiiO, the bank refused, on the ground that it could not furnish bills to bankers who did not admit its paper in payment of their exchanges, l'.y repudia'ing its own paper the bank has initiated a crisis in financial circle, which has ti- t the money market, . and inanv be lieve it will end in a c .iiiiiiercial i.anic.

Cdie went to see Consul Lee and told him her tale, and when the consul a-ked her if ha had the courage to lay the facts before General Weyler, she unhesitatingly assented. It is under stood that both went to see the gen eral ami that he refused to listen to her on the ground that he was not the judge ih-it had to decide the case, and that she should give her testimony to the ju 'ge who investigated the matter.
