A CARD FROM MIR. JAMES GORDON BEN
NETT.
Baltimore Sun.
We have received the following cable
message from Mr.. James Gordon Ben
nett in regard to the recent publications.
in New York and Baltimore relative to
his meeting with Mr.. May:
"PARis, June 3, 1878.-To the editor of
the Baltimore Sun.-Sir: l have Just re-
ceived by this mail from America a COM
munication which appeared in your
columns two weeks ago in reply TO q
statement published in the New York
Times Permit me to say that the details
of your communication are to a certain
extent correct. j regret that when the
Times's statement in regard to the un-
fortunate affair with which my name is
connected was made l was not consulted.
Mr.. Wilkes, who is said to be responsible
for the Times's statement, resembles the
bear in the fable who killed his friend in
killing the fly. am thankful for all that
Mr.. Wilkes intended, but not for his un-
called for interference.
"In your paper the following appears:
'Mr. May was as cool and calm as any
thing could be. Mr.. Bennett was very
! much excited and nervous, his body
swaying to and fro. Between 'one' and
two a cap was heard to snap. Believ-
| ing IL 10 De Mf Btnnetts piStOl tnlI ual
snapped, DIR. Frederick May called out
stop He walked up TO Mr.. Bennett
and asked, Did your pistol fire." Mr..
Bennett SAID, NO, l did not shoot. l
claim my shot Here is my pistol" Mr..
Bennett was extremely nervous
at is now nearly two years since this
affair occurred. had supposed that
people were satiated with it, and that
they might have other amusements, but
it seems not. Now, beg leave to say
that l shall arrive in America about the
middle of July. If public opinion deems
it just that | should suffer legal penalties,
l am perfectly willing to bow to that de
cision and submit to the laws of the land
| did send a challenge to Mr.. May, which
was accepted by him. Mr.. May in your ac
count, is said to have been perfectly cool
l do not question his coolness or his cour
age, but in the same report Mr. Bennett
is said to have been very nervous and
excited 1t appears, then, that Bennett
was scared to death and that May was a
cool as a cucumber. Being principal
/, of course, cannot say anything in re
gard TO this; but 1 think l am now at lib
erty to withdraw any injunction of Sc
crecy upon the gentlemen who acted a

Shooting ARRAY.

About half past 9 o'clock this morn
ing, a y the Virginia Chronicle of
Tuesday last, G street was electrified
by the sharp report of a pistol, the
scream OF a woman, and the music OF
half a dozen policemen's whistles,
blown in concert, in the vicinity of the
Delta saloon. There was a general
rush to the scene of action, and 1t was
found that special officer Tom Daley
had shot Matt. Tracy in the thigh.
The whole affair, however, had been
but the work of a minute, and no one
seemed to have a clear idea of its origin
and progress. Daley, who after the
shooting retired into the card-room of
the Delta, was arrested by Constable
Norton, and Tracy, who was wounded
in the thigh, was put into the express
wagon of the International Hote |, and
taken to his lodgings, at 116 South G
street.

A Timely Rescue.

Mr.. Jaquisb, while on his way to the
depot early Wednesday morning, heard
some calling Justify for help. He
was unable for a time to determine the
direction from which the appeals came,
the sounds seemingly issuing from the
ground; but a patient Investigation and
careful noting of the locality, led him
to the old well east of the road. In
that shaft he found a poor devil yelling
tor aid, and by his efforts rescued him.
The mar was not injured, beyond a
few bruises, and Explained that he had
left townabout 3o'clock, half seas over,
but impressed with an idea that he
must make the train before it departed,
and while stumbling around in the
dark, fell into the well. He was duly
sober when helped out, but Lis INNER
sion had perfumed him to a very odor-
Gus pitch, and Mr.. Jaquish vas glad to
escape his profuse thanks, at least until
such time as he could command a
cleaner bath, and change his raiment.

A J0Iiy Free Fight.

For a regular rolicking, free sand.
easy shindy, one that Mat Kyle wit
messed early Wednesday morning, was
ahead of anything in that line that has
occurred in this vicinity for some time
past. The boys, some twenty in mum
Der, had become overheated by their
devotions TO Bacchus during the night
previous, and had adjourned from the
saloon to the street, just as the first
faint streaks of dawn shone over the
eastern hills. Without any seeming
malice, but more as a fitting wind up
to the nights spree, they engaged in a
ruction. in which all hands participant
ed. Half of the combatants were
stripped to the buff, and the balance
had shed the most of their clothing.
1t was one of those rows where the
rule was to hit the nearest, and they
went at it with a vivacity and earnest
ness that would have done credit to a
Donnybrook Fair. The sport was
kept up for fifteen minutes, during
which time many hard knocks were
given and received, and bloody noses
and black eyes were common all
around. Finally, an outsider raised
the cry of police !" and the crowd,
gathering up their cast-off garments,
started for Ruby Hill, discussing by
the way their encounter amicably,
and without the least exhibition
of i'll feeling. Whether they renewed
the fun outside the town limits, Mat
could not state, but he is confident
that a more agreeable or social affair
never took place in the county.

Sprinkler.

Mr.. Smith Harris informs us that he
can not commence s%prinkling opera
tons at present, the water company
refusing to supply him with water
tor that purpose. They claim that
there is a scarcity of the article, but
that they are making arrangements
for a more bonntlful supply. We
heartily hope they may be success
ful. Just at present Eureka is a dust
cursed town, and the nuisance is one
that needs suppressing. 1t seems
singular that there should be a search
ty of the element, taking into con-
sheraton the amount of moisture
that fell during the season. Last
year was comparatively a dry one,
and there was enough for all pur
poses. IF water fails us this early, we
opine hat there will be a general re-
course to wells before the summer is
over.

Remains Found.

MIR. Morgan, while prospecting in
the bills west OF Spring Valley, last
week, found n portion of a human
skeleton, embracing the skull, ribs and
thigh bone. The remains were scat
tered over an area of a hundred feet.
and it was evident that they had been
food for the coyotes. Whether belong
ing to Indian or white man, he was
unable to determine. but was of the
opinion, in iging from the shape of the
skull, that the latter vas probable.
The bones were bleache1 white, and
had evidently been exposed for a long
time. Mr.. Morgan gathered the rem
nants together, and buried them, and
who the unfortunate was, or how he
met his fate, will remain IA mystery
forever.

EEAff.

The following from the New York
Mining journal will interest our lead
producers: 1--WE have information
from the Leadville District, Colorado,
that the production of ore will soon
mount to at least 200 ton per day;
and as this, in addition to a large
amount of silver, carries at least IS per
cent. lead, it will give an annual pro-
duction of about 5000 tons of lead
1t is found hat the deposit of carbon
ate of lead is much greater than was
first supposed, and before IA year is past
II is probable a rate of production
double that now calculated upon may
he reached. The importance of the
Leadylile District, as a source of sup
ply, lies in the fact that the ore is not
only exceedingly abundant. but it is
exceedingly rich in silver, the average
yield OF the ore from some of the
larger mines being from $50 to 200
ounces silver aud say 30 per cent. lead;
in other words, this is a silver ore
which produces lead incidentally as a
by product, and that lead viii always
uuu us WAY VI ubdf Net WHEN u VIII pay
the least fraction over cost OF transport
tation. The rapid extension of rail
roads towards Leadville will shortly
reduce this cost, and increase, in a o
responding degree, the influence of this
new field in the markets, not alone of
this country. but of the whole world.
The increase in production that may be
expected from this field will more than
balance any reduction in the make of
other portions of the country whore
the low price of lead is closing mines

A New Use for Worthless Mining
AfOck.


A curious feature in many recent
bankruptcies has been the charge that
the failure was due to large invest
ments in Improbable gold and silver
mines; and tho assertion is supported
by the appearance among the assets of
immense quantities of mining stocks,
II has come to our knowledge, says
the New York Mining Journal, that
there is a constant inquiry and de-
mand from business firms which con.
template "making an assignment " for
large quantities of stocks of some
mine that has been more or less
known. 1t Is not at all essential that
the mine be worth anything, but it is
essential that a large amount of the
stock to be o%btainable for very little
value IN the form of boots and shoes,
dry goods, hardware or nicknacks.
The stock makes "A fine show in the
list of assets. and gold and sill yer min
ing gets the credit of having caused
the failure. and is condemned by each
OF the bankrupt's umerou creditors
as "%ruinous to any II going into it,"
We commend this point" to those
whom ii may concern.o

worthy but unfortunate man, and his
friends have adopted this mode of
rendering him substantial comfort.
We hope that the attendance will be
large, and we are satisfied that the
pleasure of the participants will be en-
HANGED by the fact that the admission

pose. Good music has been provided,

The telephone connection made be-
tween Eureka and Palissde yesterday
proved I be a success in every par
ticular. We had the pleasure Of o
versing with several gentlemen, ninety
miles away, and found that we could
distinguish their voices without any
trouble. and could tell whether Su-
p~erintendent EvertS, Walter Marsden
or Frank Lawlor was communicating
from the other end of the line. The
infection of their voices were accu
rsteiy conveyed and the words heard
distinctly. BY a note received from
PaliSade last evening we learned that
the same facts obtained there. The
tests were very Satisfactory, and VIII
probably lead / o the adoption of the
system on the railroad. There is one
obstacle that may delay it tor a time,
The Western Union Telegraph Conn
pany own and control all of the wires,
aud are also proprietors of Edison's
Improved Telephone. A. the n now
being used j. "A different pattern
known as Bells Telephune-ths Tele-
graph Company may refuse to allow
it to be used on their wires, and insist
on the adoption of the Edison. That
being the case, it will consume some
time in eflecting arrangements, but
there is no doubt that in some form OF
other the telephone will be relied on as
a means of communication between
the two points.
