Henry Goodge, a man that has
for some time past been living as
tenant on the farm of N. Millett,
near the city, attempted a little
piece of crookedness that bad il
been pushed might have placed him
in the confines of the penitentiary.
He had in his possession property
"a harvester and a span of horses)
upon which mortgage was held
by the st. Paul Harvester Works
Co., and last week started for Kan
sas, taking along with him the
mortgaged property, and had got as
far as Chapman, Merrick county,
when he was overtaken by Consta-
bic Wake and the agent for the
Company who had got wind of the
attempted fraud. The affair was
settled by turning over to the agent
wagon and harness, in addition to
the mortgaged property.

Speaking philosophically, So
ciety may be classified into three
grand divisions, in matters of opin-
ion, faith and practice. AS in eli
mate we have the torrid, frigid and
temperate zones, so in matters of
sentiment there are the zealots, the
indifleren;s and the moderate the
first, if left free to act, would force
everything to tally with their way
Of thinking; the second believe they
are not their brothers keeper, and
borrow no trouble from any source;
the third, sabating the unwise zeal
of the first, and deprecating the cold
unconcern of the second, endeavor,
by timely action, to bring about the
greatest practical good, with the
least possible i'll. If human actions
(of individuals, communities and
natiOns) are narrowly watched, it
will found that the best and safest
are the temperate, the moderate, the
self-controlled, the steady and sure
the golden mean between the ex-
tremes-the virtue between excesses.

The fire alarm on WedBesd

The fire alarm on Wednesday
evening was caused by an accident
at the store OF Wm. Eimers, on 18th
street. The shelving on one side of
the store room, having the appear
ance of giving way, Mr.. E. was ex-
amining it, and for that purpose
stood upon step-ladder, when, by
some mishap, he fell, the candle
which he held i'm his hand coming in
contact with and igniting some cot
ton batting on the top shelves, al
most instantly creating a big blaze,
TO the imminent peril of the whole
block. With the assistance of citi-
zens and firemen the flames were
soon subdued by carrying in
water IN buckets. The damage by
fire and water used to quench it,
was considerable, but was covered
by insurance in the Etna of Hart
ford and the German of Freeport,
represented by Becher & Reynolds,
and on Saturday Mr.. Becher was
engaged in estimating the amount
with a view to paving the same.

A BET THAT COST A LIFE.
ICincinnati Enquirer


FoREsr DEPOT, Va, May 2S.-A fatal
duel occurred near this place to-day be-
tween Alexander 6liey and Frost Coles,
brothers.in-law, in which the former was
killed and the latter dangerously wound
cd. The parties to the affair were young
farmers and highly connected.
Sliey and Coles became involved in a
dispute this forenoon as to who had the
larger corn. ~ bet my corn Is two
inches higher than yours. said Sliey.
81 bet it amt, said Coles. Then they
visited the fields and measured. They
were both very pleasant about 1t at first.
but when Coles found bis neighbours
corn WAS the higher. he accused his
friend of cheating. Hot words ensued,
and finally the lie passed. Sliey pro-
posed that they meet in piece of woods
= mile distant, and fight II out with
knives. Coles accepted the challenge.
The two men went to their homes.
and procured carving knives, they told
old Bob Ormington, colored laborer, to
meet them on the grounds as an escort
second. The negro thought they were
joking about fighting. 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, were cool. II was about noon.
They handed the negro an ak, and told
him II he found one taking advantage OF
the other to rush in and straighten them.
This agreed upon, the principals stripped
to the waist. and without any delay
began.
They first tried fencing, but it ia said
that. after few parties, Coles began to
use his weapon like a mailman. He in
fiicted FIVE deep wounds in his antognist's
body. one being in the abdomen and one
in the throat. Sliey fell to the ground
in few minutes, and died in less than
halt an hour. Coles received three
wounds, one in the arm, one in the ribs,
and one in the neck. Two of them were
quite deep, and may result fatally.
Old Ormington. the negro. was so ter
ri6sd that he did nothing but yell. The
sole witness says that as Cole ran the
blade of his carving knife into Sliey .
throat he said" Damn you, now who is
the bsst MANI" Az Sliey fell he NUT
tered, II am killed." After he had
fallen Coles inflicted three wounds, and
then he, too, fell to the ground. exhaust.
cd by loss Of blood. Ormington started
for the house, whom he met q constable,
to whom he related the story. Tho Of.
ficer went with him to the woods, where
he found the two bodies lying. Sum
moning some friends, he had them car.
ried to the nearest house.
Coles may recover, but it is thought
doubtful. Ormington was arrested as al
aocomplioe. Sliey was very handsome
and had been married only a few months
Coles is related to prominent politician
