LOWE, of Alabama, who made an
exhibition Of himself by challenging
Senator Logau to fight a duel, ought
to bs expelled from the House of
representatives a, oUce. He deserves
it and it would have a wholesome
effect upon the country. If men high
in authority are INDUCED Ia such
wicked and absurd practices, such pail
pabls violations Of law, it is not
strange that those Of less note and
infIsnce should engage in them. Let
tie House of Repres en- atives make an

successful physicians and remedies. In
offering his Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets for the
cure Of the above affections, DR.. Pierce
does not recommend them as "sure
cure" IN all stages. For If the lungs be
half wasted away, or there be cancer
ous complication, no physician or medi-
cine can cure. The Discovery is. hove

purifier. 1t speedily cures the most ag-
gravated cough, or cold, and in It's
early or middle stages, consumption.

stomach and liver. 1t readily cures
blotches, plmples, scrofulous ulcers,
"bunches," or tumors. Hundreds tes.

Of the first arrest Of tho Brotllcrtons,
tho notorious convicts, aided them to
escape from tho county Jail, only to be
recaptured, has been for some time past
ut variance with man whose brother
Riley whipped sLme time ago. The dis
like eliminated III cold-blooded agree
ment to fight to the death one morning
recently, the men meeting ut the fire OH
King street and agreeing on the time
and place, which were the Catholic
cemetery, and half-past I O'Clock
in the morning. At that time Riley
started out, presumably alone, as no
ono can be found who will admit ac-
conranying him-possibly under the
fear Of prosecution for violating the
dueling laws, lie took tho horse cars
to Lone Mountain, and then walked
over to the Catholic cemetery In search
of his opponent. The latter was there
before him, having gone out in hack.
Prcliminaries were all arranged before
hand. it having been agreed that the
weapons should bo revolvers; that the
men should begin shooting at ten PAGES
and close up, shooting until the thing
was settled one way or the other. AS
a matter of course, there were others
present to give the word, though who
they were Is at present mystery, and
will continue so for anything that Riley
will reveal. A hill sloped toward the
road where the encounter took place,
but the morning was clear and sunny,
the shadow Of tho hill not at interfering
with the encounter. The men separated
some distance, and, with pistol In hand
and eyes fixed on each other, advanced. =.
When about ten PAGES apart the word
was given, and both pistols exploded
simultaneously. Riley was unhurt,
but his opponent staggered and then
rushed forward, quickly firing second
shot. Riley fired three more shots in
quick succession, but did not hit his
man, and the two men closed. Two
moro shots were fired In tho struggle.
Riley y's missed, but his antagonist placed
his pistol close to Riley's heart and
fired. The bullet entered below the
heart, and Riley foil dangerously
wounded. AS quickly as possible the
remaining ceremonies were concluded.
a man with a buggy, whether an out
side party Or not does not appear, took
Riley In charge, and drove him to No.
Engine House, on Sixth street, near
Folsom, where he was loft with his
friends, the man who brought hin,
driving quickly away. He was pu,
into an express wagon, and as quickly
rs possible taken to the City Prison
where Doctor Stivcr's dressed his
wounds. He refused to reveal any OF
these facts except to police officer, an
Intimate friend, and even to him would
tell nothing of any Of tho other parties
concerned In tho affair. He Is in a
critical condition, his wound bcing {
bad one, and tho result cannot be fore
told.
