A n FIGHT.
Ridiculous Ending of a virginia
Duel.
Black Eyes and Bloody Noses In
stead OF Pistols and
Collins.

WarrentOn Ya) Special to Gin. Enquirer.l
The dueling mania in Virginia has
not yet ended, and to-day an affair of
honor" ended in a way not exactly
looked for in the code. Major John
Strother and Captain Manly Brown
got into a quarrel a few days since
about a business matter. They parted
enemies, Yesterday Major Strother
sent his friend, Mr.. Lloyd Gold, to
Brown, armed with two papers-one
to be signed by Brown Withdrawing
offensive remarks used toward
Strother, and the other, in case Brown
refused to withdraw the language
complained of, a challenge to mortal
COMBAT. Brown declined to sign the
first paper and accepted the chal-
lenge.
Arrangements were at once made
for the meeting, Captain Browns
son being second, and Gold acting for
Strother. The party met in a body of
woods neal Delaplane this morning.
The seconds stepped off five PAGES.
Strother's second made a demand for
an exhibition of pistols, at which
Strother said, Il have no weapon"
Strother's second went off and bor>
rowed a pistol, which delayed the af-
fair somewhat.
Then Gold objected to the fight on
the ground that Browns weapon was
larger than St-othCr's. Brown charged
Strother with a back-down, whereup-
on Strother commenced abusing Brown
to which Luther Brown objected.
Luther's interference was resented by
a blow full in the face from the Ma
iOr. Then the whole party bad a live
ly fist fight, principals and seconds
getting in their work we'll on each
other. Major Strother was quite bad
ly beaten. During the struggle a large
ve-barreled pistol dropped from
Strother's pocket, which has caused
uncomulimentlry remarks to be made
on his bravery, especially as he denied
havinga pistol. the affair causes great
excitement.

MEMfhlSs lhNN'sJuAy = AooO'J
The usual monthly statement of the
national debt was issued yesterday.
The aggregate debt was reduced our
. ing June $~l0,214,224. The cash in the
/ treasury is $2O1 ,O9S,622 and the total
lebt, less cash on hand, is $1,94 IT,
295. The financial position Of the ma
tion'is very:strong, its credit being far
above par, The four per cents, its
cheapest bonds, are worth a premium
of more than two years of the interest
they pay, or, in other words, a buyer
of the four per cents, at their present
market value, Will not realize a cent
Of interest on his investment, counting
the bonds at their face value, for over
two years, after his purchase is made.
Confidence in the stability of the ma
tionalcurrency and bonds, despite the
efforts Of a few who would revolution
ize the present financial system, is
fuller than has been felt at any pre-
vious period.
There is considerable feeling among
insurance men, representatives of dis
tlnt companies at least, regarding
onerous local tax exactions. Letters
from various companies indicate a
general disposition to Withdraw agen-
cies from this city, and a few have al
ready done so, with the chances indi-
eating further Withdrawals. One let
ter says I'VE cannot stand this bur
densome taxation. We have heretofore
rather admired your supreme court,
but its recent va%cilating III would
indicate that a Savage" had incul-
Gated fallacious doctrines. 1t seems just
now to be a very small potato
Others are equally earnest in express
ing their sentiments. The tax of 2!
per cent. paid to the state on all bust
ness transacted, $40 paid the same by
each agent when notified that he is
appointed, and 5000 for the year to the
city, with prospects of it being $500
next year, would really seem steer
taxation. Should foreign companies
withdraw, it will doubtless increase
the business of our local companies
though in case Of an extensive confa.
grafton the result would perhaps be
disastrous, judging from the expe-
rience of local companies at Chicago
and Boston after their great fires
they paying only from 5 to 7 per cent
of their risks. The agencies are
however, pay ing for the present, and
may continue to do so, if the volume
of business Will justify taxation SC
oner0us.
Our local money market continues
dull with a light demand for CONNER
cial discounts, rates being easy at 6 tC
8per cent.
Stocks and bonds Of all productive
classes are strong with an upward
tendency. Few are offered for sale
holders in the main being satisfied
with their property.
Exchange is quiet at ] to 3c dis.

u
Another Proof thai
Bright's Disease in its
form is durable.
RocHEsrER, N. Y, Nov. 2l, 1879,

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Nov. 81, 1879,
Messrs. H. H. WARNER & Co.,
Rochester, n. Y.
Gents: From my own sense of duty;
and upon the advice of friends | have
concluded to offer you a testimonial. pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Brights Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years Of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a Iburden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or ever relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested TO different ply
slcians that we make a trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came TO Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable to do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy TO them
and they said it had q good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged us to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks e to-day, l came
to your Office for that purpose. l took
home two bottles of your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
It to her according TO directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a masked improvement in her condi-
ton she acquired control of her urinary
fnctions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured Of what
was regarded a hopeless case Of Bright's
Disease. | wish l could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as l can not in this letter, that l
know Bright's disease of the worst tvne
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and l
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's life and health Is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
Mrs. NJ. j. CRANE,
No. 4 Edinburgh st.
Being the subject of the above testimo-
nial, l desire to testify to the truth of its
statements, and express my gratitude to
whom it may be due for recovery from
this terrible affection, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use of the same
remedy that / did.

Fatal Accident.

A fearful accident occurred on the
Utah and Northern Railroad, on
Mendon Hill, between MeDdoD and
Hampton's about O'Clock, on Satur-
day afternoon. Two section men,
named David Rowe and Joseph l..
Baker, had started on foot from the
ssction house on the divide for
Mendon, to obtain provisions, and
were walking along the track, when
they were overtaken by a snow plow,
run by three engines, clearing toe
track. The engines, with the pas.
seuger train aud fourth engine, had
been assisting the train In getting
over as far as Hampton's Station. ano
were returning. The snow was blow
ing 60 feariully, and the men had
their beads wrapped in order to keep
the cold of, that the train IVES upon
them before either could see it, OF
the engineer on the lead engine could
see them, aud both were struck by
the plow and knocked TO the side or
the track. Rowe escaped with few
severe bruisep, but Baker, being
struck with the projecting step Of q
car on the hind part OF the train, was
killed instantly, being dead when first
reached. The conductor who was in
the caboose, saw the men Just
before they were struck, but it was
100 late to save them. Baker was 20
years old.

THE ECLIPSE.
The Total Eclipse Visible From
Arsenal Hill,
SALT LAKE CITY,
January 18th, 1880.

SALT LAKE CITY,
January 18th, 1880.
Editors Herald:
Yesterday, a party OF three OF US
went on the bench, where the maya
zine exploded, to view the eclipse that
took place true to prediction. 1t COM
menced at 3.31 o'clock, according to
the time on tie City Hall-Which
was the only time We had. We did
not go so much to view for scientific
purposes as FOR s bsauty. as We were
not sure that ths totaiity would occur
oeiors the sun would sink behind TIE
western mouU t&ins; therefore we did
not take thermometer with us to
note the change of temperature. We
were very happily disappointed, how
ever, IN getting a clear view OF the
totally, which was grand indeed. The
corona was beautiful 10 colors, rend-
cred so by refrsclion through q
slight streak Of clouds which fingered
over the mountain tops; otherwise the
sky was az clear as could have been
desired
TO:sl darkness lasted only few
secondP, but the scene for those few
seconds was one that will not be soon
forgotten rs seen through my four.
inch telescope with a power of SO
dismeters. The corona wss brilliant
IN co.ers. But the crOWning phenom-
enon for beauty vas the iridescent
col)rs which shot out in q triangular
form In vsiious parts of the edge OF
the moon. They were very brilliant
and beautiful. The colors we're q
pure blending of purple and red. and
OF brilliant transparency perfectly
Understandable. The corona was marrsd
by refraction through the slight
cloud. givingIt oolors, which detracted
very much from it's pure, indesc.ibable
Thiteness, which l had seen in the
eclipse of 1869. l regret that did
not take my thermometer to note the
change OF temperature, for during
the darkest Part of the eclipse there
seemed to be perfect polar ware
sweeping over us.
L see hy notes OF the eclipse of the
9TH OF August, 1869, that the Their
monaeter fell from 770 at the com.
mencement OF the eclipe to &C., at
totalIty, and Immediately rose to 680
a. the end Of the eclirss. l am sure
the fall was as great, if not greater,
yesterday. The cause OF the sudden |
iail in temperature during the sweep |
iHg OF the moons shadow over us, being |
SO much greater than the shade of a
or the passing shade of a
cloud, may well be considered an in
subject for scientific inves-
tigs!ion.
