but short time will elapse before our
machine shops and every dwelling In
the city will be supplied with excellent
water. The Council, we are assured, are
ready to do their part, if the citizens
manifest that they desire the construc-
ton of such works, and their faith in
them by, subscribing literally for the
stock. Now is the time to push the
enterprise vigorously. Let those who
have not the means to take stock,
throw their influence in favor of the
project by urging it upon the attention
of those who are able, and ought to
subscribe. Let it be known abroad
that Evansville is not only bowlder
ing her streets, but is also engaged in
constructing Water Works, and thou
sands will be induced to settle here
who will otherwise locate at other
points.

strong Union majority in both Houses,

friends to nurse him carefully, but not

The New York Tribune has always
held high position among the lead
ing Journals of the country. 1t seems
determined to maintain its prominence
and influence. AT the beginning Of
its 26th year it was enlarged to the
size Of the London Times, and other
wise materially improved. More than
ordinary attention is now paid to the
news department, and we now regard
the paper as about the best Daily in
New York. Its editorials have always
been noted for their force and literary
ability, and the editors lose none of
fheirskin since the enlargement. The
price of subscription remains the
same, notwithstanding great deal
more reading matter is published thaH
IN the old size. We wish the Tribune
success. It's radicalism don't seem
to injure its peeuniary interests.

Melancholy Affair.
DUEL BETWEEN HENDERSON TAYLOR, Esq
AND CAPTAIN ALoNzo GREENLAW.

One Of the most melancholy affairs it has ever
been our duty TO record transpired in Mississippi
few miles below the city yesterday afternoon, result
ing in the death Of welknown citizen at the hands
Of another. Is nearly as can ascertain the facts
are as follows
Two or three days since Mr.. Henderson Taylor,
who is a brother Of weknown fellow-citizen, DIR.
Arthur K. Taylor and Capt. Alonzo Greenlaw, son
Of Mr.. W. B. Greenlaw,) met on the street. After
a few words Capt. Grcenlaw struck Mr.. Taylor in
the face with his open hand. The matter went no
farther at that time but next day Monday we be-
lievel, Capt. Greenlaw received note from Mr..
Taylor, which resulted in the parties accompanied
by friends, repairing % point in Mississippi, six
or seven miles below the city.
At that point duel was fought between the two
gentlemen yesterday afternoon. We learn that Col.
Milton Haynes acted as second to Mr. Taylor and
Mr.. Gift for Capt. Greenlaw. The distance was
ten PAGES, the weapons navy repeat ers. According
to our informant the principals were to fire at any
time after the words, Are you ready-fre! and
were to continue dischaTging their weapons until
one OF the two fell. The weapons were discharged
almost simultaneously, and Mr.. Taylor fell mortally
wounded IN the bowels al the first fire. His funeral
will take place at clock this afternoon from Dr.
a. K. Taylors residence, No II Adams street.
We know nothing authentic of the, origon of the
difficulty which has resulted so tragicaIlv. and
whose sad features are rendered doubly sad by the
fact that both are gentlemen Of fne standing. and
connected with two of our Oldest and most esteemed
families

The meeting was commenced by the Southern
Methodist in the Cumberland Church, though it
soon lost its UNCONVENTIONAL cast, for the different
ministers OF the place entered heartily into it. and
we're received kindly by those who had charge of
the meeting, we felt that the meeting belonged TO

Never since our reorganization was the prospect
of the old Church il this place brighter, she now
has some IS members in Cleveland, and a host of

She has the largest Sunday School in the place,
