THE AFFRAY AT WARRENToN SPRINGS
"A letter to the Alexandra Gazell', Civ.
the particulars. of fatal afIray al the
Warrenton (Va.) Springs Monday night
says:
About three weeks ago, Mr.. Carver, Of
A'abama, ard James Green, of this coun-
", lef! the Warenton Springs, aud re-
! paired 10 the District oI Columbia, for the
purpose Of fighting duel. which was
prevented by the arrest of Carver. The
c use of this difficulty W as not made pub
lie. Both parties, however, returned to
he Springs, where they remained 10 the
present time. 1t appears that the difficult
/ ~ had not been adjusted, and that iII.lecI-
ings sill existed. Last night, Carver
was heard TO curse the Green family gen
orally, which, reaching the ears Of james
Green, excited the latter very much. AZ
ter the dancing was over in the ball room,
Green came in contact with Carver, stab
bing him with bowie knife, and killing
him instantly. There were two eye-wit-
,nesscs to the affair, but they differ materI-
ally in their statements, One Of them
states that Carver colldGed Green before
the latter made an attack upon him-lhe
other states that Green was not coIared
by Carver until G. had made a pass at
him with the knife. The affair has pro-
duced feeling of deep regret throughout
the whole community, as both parties
were highly esteemed by all who knew
them. Green made no attempt TO escape
and was Immediately arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Wall, who was present at the
Spring. lie is son Of the late Jones
Green.
Il .SVimming Match-- Young Lody
Rescued By q "Pepjng 1om,"--That
even so mean business as that Of Pee
ping Tom" may turn out happily, The fol-
lowing, from the PittsbuIg Dispatch,
proves:
AT Murdocksville, some young ladies
had selected shady nook and were en-
joying river bath, when two young fell
lows, strolling in the woods, heard an I'M
usual FLASHING in the water, and "(ollow-
ing their ears" were amazed and--.shall
we say il !--delighled, on turning sharp
bend in the river, TO behold the water
nymphs floating in the ripping current,
fairer than the naads and more enchant.
ing than syrens. Generating themselves,
one of the rascals wagered thirty dollars
on me swimming powers Of Aaxen-hair-
ed divinity against small dark-eycd
beauty--thc two being the leaders Of Tie
party, and lie most expert swimmers.
The wager was accepted. The Two had
struck out for a long swim, strong
swim and a swim altogether, when the
fair haired she" shrieked ga turtle
turtle - and terribly frightened, sank un-
der the surface.
1t was struggle between gallantry and
duty with the young men; but the one
who had accepted the challenge leapt
from bis hiding paceinto the stream, and
striking out boldly, succeeded in Selling
the ns9nsibe and drowning girl and drag.
ged her to shore. Ofcourse the remain
der of the party had fled, but soon return
ed, took charge Of the nearly manimate
form, and restored her to consciousness.
In consideration Of the service performed
IN. fol oh
ton. The heroic rescuer Of the young
lady, however, claimed the thirty dollars
on the score that his nymph had fairly
won the match. IF it's not busted up,
he young men propose 'hatlhe ladies',
shall try ii again.
