A DUEL.-The sequel to the Amazon fight
reported in our edition of Wednesday morn
ing resulted in duel between two men, who
are the respective lovers of the women re-
ferred to in the above named article. The
men, after having learned what the incentive
| to the Amazon battle was, adjourned at 9
| o'clock Tuesday evening, with two other hood
lums, to the vicinity of the fume, armed
with pistols, regularly prepared to carry out
the established rules of the code of honor.
Distances were measured off by the seconds,
and after all the preliminary arrangements
were perfected, the principals were ordered
to fire. At the first and only exchange of
shots one of the participants had finger
carried away. This incident put stop to
the firing. The wounded man is now in the
city, but the conquering hero has retired to
parts unknown. The participants and seconds
in this disgraceful affair are well known, but

after reside. Verbum sap.
Yesterday as Mr. Levi Dague was on his
way to his office at the Mint, he found the
street at the railroad depot blocked up by
long train of cars, and in order to cross with
out taking round about way, it was neces-
sary for him to mount one of the cars and
step over; this he did and at the same time
the train was placed in motion. While in |
the act of getting off his foot caught in some !
obstacle and tripped the gentleman; he fell !
and came within an ace of being run over by |
the train, fortunately, however, he escaped |
without injury. Mr. Dague. at that time
had a valuable gold watch in his pocket, |
unattached to any guard, which drop
ped outwhere he fell, but, strange to
say, he did not discover his loss for some
hours afterward. The loss of time this gen.
tleman views in more serious light than
his providential escape from being crushed
by train of railroad cars.
