Cincinnatl, Oct. 14.- A special to Tha Times-Star from Lexlngton, Ky„ says: It is reported here on what seems to be rellable Information, that State Senator Bronson and ex-chairman of the Democratie state central committee, John D. Carroll, are on the verge of a duel. The trouble grew out of the late Frankfort convention, when Carroll caused Bronson's defeat by throvving his strength to Evan E. Settle of Owen county. It seems that Bronson had counted on Carroll to nomínate htm. and was raad when his opponent was benefited by the withdrawal of the Henry county man. Used Harsh Lanffuage. The reports say that Bronson cursed Carroll roundly and that Carroll coolly told him to think over the matter and apologizè for the remarks. Bronson proposed to settle t,hen in a personal encounter, but Carroll refused and tóld him that he should have time in which to take back his objectionable language. Letter? have passed between them, but it is stated by those close to Bronson that he does not intend to retract what he said, and they see no way out of the trouble except in accordance with the code adopted in settling such grievances. Both are brave men, and if the. field is resorted to as the only way of settling this matter, it is believed each will face his foe gamely.
