circumstances of tire Death of Maurice
E%au-A Gard.

To the Union and American:
We learn that il is reported that we, the
undersigned. had come 10 the Merchants
Exchange at the time Of Mr.. Egan's death,
as his friends ain an expected difficulty"
Some of the testimony seems to indicate,
too, that we We're abOat to ''drink' with
the deceased at the bar.
The fact is, that We were trying TO get
Mr.. Egan to go home, and only followed
him into the Merchants Exchange in order
to get him out again. We had not our
selves drank, and were not about TO drink
with him, but on the contrary had express
ed to each other our determination not to
do so. He did call for drinks for the party,
but before any response from us. his asSail-
ant came mp to the bar, and the tragedy
Immediately e1sUed.
Mr.. Exam was an amiable, popular gen
tleman. seldom 20 our knowledge intoXi-
Gated. and finding him on this occasion in
such condition, We thoughC il our duty to
take care of him. We had not the slight
est suspicion that any difficulty was pend
ing. having heard nothing of il frCm him
or any one. We We're unarmed, and did
not know that the deceased was armed.
Had We unprecedented a difficulty We should
have endeayored TO prevent If. Indeed,
one of orr party did interfere in time TO
prevent the second shot from striking IA
tai spot. by knocking down the assailant' S
pistol. But the first shot had gone TO the
| heart. Z. NJ. LELLYETT,

Her love he will never more claim,
And she never will hear her darling
