A Bet That Cost a Life.

HOW THOSE TWO VIRGINIA FARMERS
FOUGHT A DUEL WITH CARVING
KNIVES.
FOREST DEPOT, Va, May S.-A
fatal duel occurred near this place to-
day between Alexander Sliey and Frost
Coles, brothers-in-l law, in which the
former was killed and the latter dan
gerously wounded. The parties to the
affair are young farmers aud highly
connected.
Sliey and Coles became involved in
q dispute this forenoon as to who had
the larger corn. i bet my corn is two
inches higher than yours, said Sliey.
i bet it amt said Coles. Then they
visited the fields and measured. They
were both very pleasant about it first,
but when Coles found his neighbor's
corn the highest. he accused his friend
of cheating. Hot words ensued and
finally the lie passed. Sliey proposed
that they meet in piece of woods, a
mile distant, and fight it out with
knives. Coles accepted the challenge.
The two men went to theis homes
and procured carving knives. They
told old Bob Ormington, colored
laborer, to meet them on the grounds
a. an escort-a second. The negro
thought they were joking about fight
ing, and to carry out the joke he was
promptly in the chosen woods when
the two men arrived 1t was then too
late for him to back out The duellists
who were men Of splendid physique,
we're cool. It was about noon. They
handed the negro an ak and told him If
he found one taking advantage of the
other to rush in and straighten them.
This agreed upon, the principals strip
ped to the waist, and without any de-
Icy began.
They first tried fencing, but it is
said that after few parties, Coles be-
gan to use his weapon like mailman.
He inflicted five deep wounds in his
antagonists body, one being in the
abdomen and one in the throat. Sliey
fell to the ground in few minutes and
died in less than half an hour. Coles
received three wounds. one In the arm,
ono in the ribs and one in the neck.
Two Of them were quite deep and may
result fatally.
Old Ormington. the negro, was so
terrified that he did nothing but yell.
This sole witness says that as Coles ran
the blade of his carving knife into
Sliey's throat. he said, Damn you
now who is the best man.? AS Sliey
fell he muttered. i am killed. After
he had fallen Coles inflicted three
wounds, and then he, too, fell to the
ground exhausted by loss of blood.
Ormington started for the house, when
he met constable. to whom he related
his story. The officer went with him
to the woods. where he found the two
bodies lying. Summoning some friends
he had them carried to the nearest
house.
Coles may recover, but it is thought
doubtful. Ormington was arrested as
an accon,plice. Sliey was very hand
some. and has been married only few
months. Coles is related to promi-
nent politician.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is a good
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always an
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse aud deleteriOus
materials, and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repusive i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly if applied to the head; injurng the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
pers ons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven to ten years being the longest
| period during which the occupation could be fol-
| lowed.
The difficulty of procurlnga perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obyiated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
| B. T. Babbitt of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
| is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr. Rabbits various pro-
| auctions has for many years been widely d1ssem-
mated, but this latest success Is the appropriate
| crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinf the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry.
H"B. T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mars
by which this elegant toilet luxury Is designated
and for applications to the delicate skin OF infants
children and ladies, it is altogether unequaed IN III
emollient properties. This Soap is not perfumed
the ingredients being OF snch absolute purity as
require no aid from chemistry to disguise interio
materials The most refined taste considers tn
absence of artificial perfume the perfection Q
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic Oh -.
Babbitts Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac
ltured
Though specially desirable for the use of ladie
and children this Soap Is equally appropriate 10
gentlemens toilet, and as 1t makes heavy lathe
It is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
IL is lust being placed upon the market, but IN
demand for it will soon become generally. ]
