Because Of the Intervention of the Independence
Holiday which was observed on Monday, the week
includes Only five business days. After the holiday
the stock speculation opened with a show Of con-
siderable spirit, and on Tuesday p1ces generally
made important advances on those OF the preceding
SATURDAY Wednesday. however, developed a
greater desire to sell than buy, and consequently
prces YIELDED and the decline thus begun con tinued
through three DAYS until late Friday After that there
was an important recovery which was caused more
by purchases to close short" than By purchases

Harvard and Columbia.

New London, Conn.,, July The two
miles Freshman race between the eight.osred
crews from Harvard and Columbia colleges
was rowed on the Thames course this noon
and won by the Harvard crew in eleven min
utes and thirty seven seconds. The race was
an exceedingly pretty one and holly
contested throughout. Harvard won the
course, and chose the west side of the course.
Inc crews we're started by Trmble, captain
OF the Harvard university crew. at 1925.
the Harvards took the water slightly in ad-
vance of the Columbus, and both crews got
away IN good style in 38 strokes to tho min
Ute They swung along, bow and bow, until
me hrst halt-mlle buoy VAS reached, when
Columbia forged half a length ahead. This
lead was overcome by Harvard before the
END OF the hrst mile. AT the first mile buoy
Harvard spurted to 40 strokes and rot n
Slight lead which was gradually
increased toa length and quarter at the
finish. Columbia also spurted at forty
strokes through two-thirds ofthe last mile, but
was well headed and could not recover the
lost ground. The comparative time made
by the winning crew is one minute and four
seconds less than that made at Yale Lass
Thursday. The Columbia crew was heartily
Cheered by their vietors. They made fine
finish in good condition. The race created
hut little excitement, and not more than
niteen hundred people witnessed it.

The Cash-ShanitOn Duel.

New York, July IA special from Cam
den, kersha county, s. O., says of the duel
which was fought on the 9th inst, in which
Colonel William N. Shannon was killed:
Complications leading TO the
fatal feeling began over year ago, when a
man named Wiegans brought suit for dam
ages against another named Ellerby for in
iuries to person, which he claimed to have
received at the latter Stands. Colonel Shan
non and Captain W. L. Depass were attor-
news for Wiegans, and they succeeded in get
ting Judgment against Ellerby for $4,000.
1t was then discovered that all Of Ellerby's
property was held by the wife Of Colonel E.
B. Cash on mortgage, and there was
nothing to satisfy the judgment.
Colonel Shannon and Captain Depass
offered evidence to show that the mortgage
was fraudulent one, and had been given for
the express purpose ofevading the judgment,
and the result of their effort was TO have the
mortgage set aside on the ground of legal
fraud, The evidence on which this action
of the court was taken here was somewhat
strongly against the wife of Colonel Cash, and
he determed revenge on the two lawyers who
had unearthed it. He and his son have been
engaged in several duels before this one. He
arranged with Ellerbv to call out Shannon
and Depass. Ellerby accordingly
challenged Shannon to fight him,
but the old gentleman refused
on the ground that duelling was against the
law of the state, as well as his principles.
Cash posted tn old gentleman as a coward
who had sullied his wife's name and then re-
fused to give her husband the satisfaction due
to gentleman. The old gentleman pro-
tested that he had done no wrong to Mrs.
! Cash. but wherever he went vile epithets
were applied to him by his enemies. Finally,
goaded almost to desperation, he sent chal-
lenge to Cash, who Immediately accepted il,
and the duel took place as already stated.

Washington, Chairman.

Richmond, July THE Readjusters state
convention met in the theatre to-day at 1880
a. M, and was called to order by General
Malone, chairman of the state executive com
mittee, who made brief speech, counseing
harmony and wisdom in its deliberations, He
then nominated Colonel II. Ii. Rddleberger,
of Shenandoah, as temporary chairman.
Upon assuming the chair Colonel
Riddleberger was greeted with
the widest enthusiasm, the applause con-
tinuing some moments. He spoke at some
length, contrasting this conversation with one
which assembled little over year ago at
Mozart hall, the place where the Readjusters'
party had its origin, thus showing the rapid
growth of the party since its birth. The
people, he said, had taken their own affairs
into their own hands and intended to adjust
matters in their own way, without regard 10
the wishes of political dead-beats and with
out fusion or utilization with other parties.
The Readiusters had como to bridge the
chasm, and they proposed to cross IT and
march on to victory without
looking to tic right or to the left
The speaker was frequently interrupted
with loud shouts of applause.
The call of the roll showed representatives
present from all counties and towns in the
state except Northumberland and Page anC
the city of Danville. The delegates mum
bered nearly 600, and included about AZ
negroes.
After the appointment of n committee OF
credentials and permanent organization, thu
convention took recess.
Upon reassembling, the committee on per
manent organization reported, recommend
ing Colonel Abram Fullerson, of Washing
ton county, as permanent president togethe

Mccall, of Pulaski, MS secretary. Adopted
Mr.. Fullerson upon taking The chair ad
dressed the convention, giving brief re
sumo of the origin and history of the part,
and its rapid and widespread growth ant
most powerful combinations until now it wa
the dominant party of Virginia. If the worl
of this convention was characterized by tina
wisdom and good judgment with which thu
party has heretofore worked, the eectora
vote of Virginia would be cast in the mex
presidential election by the Readjusters Of tn
state by whom it ought to be cast.
Committees on business, platform and reso
lutious were then appointed, and reces
taken until o'clock this evening.

Special TO the Herald
San Antonio. July News has just been
received here from the west that party of
rangers met band of desperadoes yesterday,
with about twenty-five or thirty mules, on
this side of Fort Davis. Both parties at
once dismounted and took to the rocks, when
firing on both sides commenced and contin-
ued for a short time, when three of the des-
peradoes emerged from behind the rocks and
threw up their hands. The fourth came also,
but instead of throwing up his hands he con
tinued firing at the rangers, killing one of the
latter. The rangers then made
short work of him by riddling him
with bullets. The name of the ranger that
was killed has not been learned yet. The
name of the desperate that was killed is
George Davis, alias Graham. The other
three that we're captured are John Gunter,
alias Groos, X. j. Grimes, alias Graham, and
the notorious Jesse Evans, of Lincoln county
fame, New Mexico. This completes the ar
rest of the whole gang that robbed Sender y
Siebendorn's store, at Fort Davis, in broad
daylight some time ago, Bud Carr. alias
Graham, one of the party captured here
some time since, is now in jail at Fort
Davis. The latter came very near
making good his escape through the kindness
of the TAILOR at Fort Davis, who has since
been recognized by the rangers as belonging
to the same gang. He is known on the
Pecos river as John Theron, and in Shacke-
ford county as John Sellman. The rangers
deserve great credit for their energetic and
perserverng efforts in effscting this capture.
All'"'good citizens are highly elted over
their capture. The telegraph wire was cut al
several points between here and Fort Davis
and it is very probable that it is the work o.
