The LAY-BENNETT DUEL.--A state
ment which seems to be authoritative is
current now in 'society circles" as to
the true proceedings in the May-Bennett
duel. 1t is asserted that when the Sec
onds asked the principals if they were
ready, Mr.. May twice replied that he
was not; that after the second asking
the snap of pistol was heard that Mr..
Nays second thereupon advanced in
front of Mr. Bennett and asked If 1t was
his pistol which had been snapped; that
Mr.. Bennett exhibited his weapon in
proof that such was not the case that
Mr., May then spoke up and said his piss
tol had accidentally snapped; that after
this the seconds adjudged TO Mr.. Ben
isvelied his pistol, took aim and then
suddenly throwing up his arm, fired In
the air, whereby the duel ended with no
blood shed.-[N. Y. World

The CONTINENTAL LIFE.-The order
of Judge Pratt of Brooklyn, issued on
Thursday, for parties to show cause why
Receiver Anderson's prayer to be dis
charged from the trust should not be
granted, was returned on Saturday.
Counsel appeared for several policy
holders and objected to his discharge In
full until hi. accounts had been fully
investigated by Mr.. Butler, the referee
already appointed by Judge Pratt.
Charges were made by several of the
counsel against the company's manage
ment.. Mr.. Warren stated that since the
books had been in Mr.. Buffers hands he
had examined them sufficiently to be
convinced that such corruption, fraud
and iniquity had seldom been disclosed.
Anderson, he stated, had covered this
up, and it was well for policy-holdera
that he got out. Gen. Tracy, represent
ing over 81 100000 Of the funds in in

expenditures since the application of the

mended for receivers. Judge Pratt is-
sued an order susponding Receiver

The PETROLEUM TRADE.-ln review
ing the petroleum trade for the year
1876, the Pittsburg Commercial Gays
last year was one Of the most prosper
GUS the dealers In the crude article have
ever had. Matters were very discour-
aging at the beginning of the year, and
so continued until August, when the
Standard oil company of Cleveland
with its allies taking advantage Of the
general dependency, purchased or ell
tered into association with nearly every
outside refining interest in the country,
and by this coup took eflectlal control
of the whole refined trade, advanced its
prices, quietly awaited the exhaustion
Ut the small stocks of Europe, and Il
nally toward the end Of the year, COM
PEELED the European consumer TO pay
the exacted price. The result was a
large profit to the ref1ner. The arrange
ment was artificial-unnatural--bul eX-
cecdingly profitable. The advance in
price was from 10 l-2 to IL cents per
pallon, January /, 10 n cents at the end
The total exports from the United
States in 1876, were 255, 1872, 226 gallons,
an increase of 32,960, 400 gallons Cor ten
per cent? over the exports of the pre-
vious year. 1t is believed that this in
crease does not represent actual con-
sumption, but that most of the excess
still remains on hand in foreign paris,
or is still on its way thereto. The cal
culation is that tie great advance il
price has checked consumption, and that
less was really consumed abroad III
1916 than in 1875; aud further, that for
eign dealers had in hands and going to
them, on January /, 1877, some 100000
more barrels than on January !, 1871.
