Two A0abamfans Come 10 Memphis
q" Fight an Arksnsas - ueI = The
Particulars.
Two gentlemen, accom- panied by their
seconds and surgeons, arrived inthe city
day or two since to settle an affair OF
honor on the Arkansas shore. Mr.. j. M.
Martin, Of Tuscaloosa, son of ex-Gover-
nor Martin, of Alabama, with his second
and surgeon, arrived yesterday and
stopped at the Peabody Hotel. Martin
was the party who sert the challenge.
The other party, Mr.. Randolph, also
from Tuscaloosa, arrived with his friends
Saturday, and stopped at the, Worsham
House. Y Ga the afternoon Of the same
day they settled their bill and departed
for parts unknown, but probably for Al
kansas. The little ceremony Of shooting
at each other was to have come off IN The
suburbs Of Hopefeld, that classic rival Of
Memphis. at eight o'clock this morning.
The police got wind Of tke affair last
night. but were unable 10 find ont ex-
actly who to arrest, so nothing was done.
We understand that Mr.. Wailin and bis
friends crossed the river about the time of
the first cock growing this morning, but
We have no adyices from the field OF
carnage and champagne. It seems q
little strange that these gentlemen should
come so far from home to settle their
local disputes, and the only reason we
can conjecture is that Memphis reporters
are more accurate aud cnterprisipg in
describing important occurrences than
in any other city in the Union. II any
body is hurt, we will take pleasure in
giving the full and melancholy par

A large crowd gathered on Jefferson
street, yesterday, to witness an i'm.
promplu race between two velocipedes;
one, bicycle, worked by Prof. Owen,
the velocipedist, who has school here,
and the other, a tbree-wheeled affair,
made and rode by Captain Louis, of this
city. The bicycle could run the fastest
at the start, but the other seemed to have
the best wind. The crowd was decidedly

seems to be growing in public favor, and
we may expect it to live much longer than
planchette. oaar 81 "a
