+ One nightlast week party of genial
sgentlemepr were. taking supper in one Of
Delnionico's gilded saloons Two of the
humber, no other than the we'll known poll
tician, Col. Mcnamara, and Mr.. iVarnum, a
broker, engaged in an angry and exciting
!, discussion concerning q lady During the
melee, Mr.. Farnum, exasperated beyond the
bounds Of patient endurance, emptied the
contents'of his wine glass in the face of Col
McNamara. The latter smarting under this
insult, sprang to his feet, made rush ior
MIR, Varnum, upsetting a table in his efforts
to strike him, and was only prevented from
accomplishing his object by the timely inter-
renee pf mutual friends present. lza-l a.nal1
.. But the son of Mars was not TO be SO easily
batfied. He Immediately departed. Before
doing SO, however, lie informed Varnum
that hewould shortly hear from him, and
liewas as good as his word. The next day,
4 Mr. Vamum was the recipient of challenge
to fight duel, 1hich he readily accepted.
The preliminaries were speedily arranged,
and both parties accompanied by their
seconds, took the Washington train last
Saturday night enroute for the battle ground,
After spending few hours in the National
Capitol, the party embarked on board the
boat for Aqua Greek. They reached their
destination about midnight The interval
before daylight was spent in a tavern. With
the first dawn of day they started for the
ground "a secluded spot in the woods, on a
hill in the outskirts Of the town overlooking
the Potomac d=g .t:.aF 4u ID. fa -iF.l
Everything was then speedily got ready,
and the principals took their positions at
twenty PAGES from each other. The word
fire" was given, both pistols were discharg-
ed at once, and Varnum fell, wounded (and
it is feared mortality in the fermoral artery.
Col. Mcnamara escaped unhurt, the ball
having only grazed his shoulder The sur
genn in attendance examined Mr. Varnum's
wound and pronounced it MORTAL Col.
Mcnamara and his frinds hurried from the
ground, and drove back to Washington in a
private, conveyance. Mr.. Varnum's con-
dition was such as to preclude the possibil-
ity of, his Immediate departure He was
carried by his friendsto neighboring house
in fainting condition. He remained there
day or two, and has since, it is said, been
brought to this city. 1t is feared that he
will die. .5aI rsr al ..sts.
