The Pulpi, ON the Affair.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-Considera-
BILE prominence was given to the shoot
ing of Kalloch in the city pulpits yes
terday. w. E. st. James, of Green
street Congregational church. treated
it at length. His general conclusions
were that Kalloch, whatever his faults
might be, was man of generous i'm
pulses, that the attack upon him was
cruel and cowardly, and that the Chron-
icle has flourlshed in the city is evidence
of low stage of civilization.
Rev. Horatio Stebbins, Of the First
Unitarian church, formulated the idea
that society was disgraced by want Of
dignity of mind and strength Of heart,
on the part Of both preacher and pub
Usher, who heaped abuse on each other
till the truth Of it got beyond endur-
ance, when one retaliated with an
assassin's hand. for what he could not
bear In the same kind he had given.
Rev. NJ. c. Briggs, of the Howard
street Methodist Episcopal church, said
DeYoung's deed showed an underlying
current of immortality in society much
to be deprecated.

DEArHLY DUEL.
Two Farmers Have Desperate Fight,
Killing Each Other.

Killing Each Other.
Kansas City, Aug. 25.-James Dob
bins and Michael Burns, farmers and
neighbors, living six miles west of here
in Kansas, had desperate and fatal
encounter on Friday evening, in which
both were killed. 1t seems Dobbins
owed Burns money, and on the evening
named, while passing Burns place, was
dunned Extensively for it by Burns, the
latter having revolver in his hand.
Dobbins said: s'You have the drop on
me now, but if you'll wait till I come
back I'll be ready to meet you" Dob
bins then drove home, got two revol-
vers, went back to Burns house, found
him sitting on the doorstep and opened
fire on him. Burns went into his house,
got his revolver and rushed on Dobbins.
Several shots were exchanged at very
close quarters. Dobbins received two
balls in the chest and one through the
head, while Burns was shot in the ab-
domen, the ball passing clear through
his body, and in the right arm. Not
withstanding these terrible wounds the
men clinched in a fierce and deadly
struggle, Dobbins falling underneath.
In this position Burns beat Dobbins
over the head with the butt of his pis-
tol till he thought him dead, and had
partially risen from the ground when
Dobbins turned him and was about to
beat him when the neighbors arrived
and separated them. Dobbins died be-
fore he could be taken home, and Burns
died early next morning.
