The BROADWAY PNEUMATIC RAILWAY
Broadway and Warren street was blocked
on Saturday with large packages Of ma
chinery designed for operations in the
pneumatic tunnel, which has been boring
under Broadway for nearly year past.
The utmost silence and secrecy has been
maintained in regard to it, but. it has been
ascertaiped that 4 tunnel about ten feet III
diameter and eight feet high has been con
structed as far south as Fulton street. Inc
sand and loan taken out has been stored in
the basement of Deylin's building, where
operations commenced but recently por--
tions Of it have been laid out in the street
and removed away in carts. The machinery
represents an air-tight cylinder, with por-
tions of a shield to protect the excavations
from the possible falling in of the soil,
which is very light and sandy.-Ne'o York

A Duel at Aquia Creek-0ne or the
Parties Dangerously wounded.


One night last week party of genial gen.
monico's gilded saloons. Two of the num-
Der, no other than the well-known politi-
clan Colonel Mcnamara, and 0fr. Var
mum, 4 broker, engaged In an angry and
exciting discussion concerning a lady.
During the melee DIR. Varnum, ex-
asperated beyond the bounds Of pa
,icnt endurance, emptied the contents Of
his wineglass in the face Of Colonel McNa-
mara. The latter, smarting under this in
suit, sprang to his feet, made a rush for Mr..
Narnum, upsetting table in his eifoI Is to
strike him. and was only prevented from
accomplishing his object BY the timely in
reference of mutual friends present.
But the son Of Mars was not to be SO
easily batied. He Immediately departed.
Before doing so, however, he informed Var
mum that he would shortly hear from him,
and he was as good as his word. The next
day Mr.. Farnum was the recipient of
challenge to fight duel, which he readily
accepted. The prcliminaries were speedily
arranged, and both parties, accompanied
by their seconds. took the Washington train
last Saturday night en- route for the battle
ground: After spending few hours in the
board the boat for Aqua Creek. They
reached their destination about midnight.
The interval before daylight was spent In
tavern. With the first dawn Of day they
started for the ground-a secluded spot in
the woods, on hill in the outskirts of the
town, overlooking the Potomac. The MORN
ingWas cold, windy, and cloudy. Reaching
the ground, a few minutes were consumed
by the seconds in consultation.
THE DUEL-THE WOUND PRONOUNCED MORTAL.
Everything was then speedily got ready,
and the principals took their positions at
twenty PAGES from each other. The word
I" fire. was given, both pistols were dis
charged at once, and Varnum fell, wounded
(and it is feared mortality in the fcmoral
artery. Colonel Mcnamara escaped unhurt,
the ball having only grazed his shoulder.
The surgeon in attendance examined Mr..
Narnum's wound. and pronounced it NOR
tai. Colonel Mcnamara and his friends
hurried from the ground, and drove back to
Washington in a private conveyance. Mr..
Varnum's condition was such as to pre-
clude the possibility of his immediate de-
parture. lie was carried by his friends to
neighboring house in a lainting condition.
He remained there O day or two, and has
since, it is said, been brought to this city.
1t il feared that he VIII die.
The woman who IS the cause Of this
trouble has not given herself the slightest
concern about the fate Of her two lovers.
When informed that they had gone to fight
duel she remarked to friend, with the
characteristic indifference of her class, that
"she did not care if they shot each other
dead" The whole affair has been kept
profound secret, owing to the possibility Of
Mr.. Farnum's death.
