A Challenge by Telegraph and Meet
Ing In Person.

L A "cursing out" over the wires comes
in such q round about way, the words
fall in such 81 cold ard spiritless manner
from the transmitter that the instance is
perhaps rare in which the insult pro-
vokes collision. An exception to the
rule, however, we have to record.
More than two years ago a:well known
and popular telegraph operator, stationed
ut this place, in an irritable moment re-
! ceiyed an insult from brother operator
in Greenville, S. G. Generous and lib
eral in everything else, he could not
brook personal reflection, and the sting
rankled in his mind. For two years,
wherever the two operators have been in
communication, the words have seemed
curter, the letters cut shorter, until the
unfeeling instruments themselves have
seemed to espouse the quarrel. Last
Saturday they broke out into angry
pickering, hot words were exchanged for
hot words, faster and more furious grew
the war, the click-click of the instruments
was deafening, when, suddenly, it reached
climax, the deadly insult was given and
received, and the instruments resumed
their ordinary alow and business-like
tone.
"Will you meet me and give me salts.
faction?" waa said in cold and deliber-
ate manner.
"I will" was the answer, in manner
equally cold and deliberate.
"Where7"
"On half way ground. The passenger
trains meet at Gastonia. will meet you
there tonight"
20. K"
This was all. The Charlotte operator
closed the instrument, obtained leave of
absence, got into his coat and boarded
the train for Gastonia. One o'clock in
the morning, the moon shining bright,
Gastonia, and the other train in sight.
A few minutes Interval aud the antago-
nists confronted each other. The Char.
lotte man weighs about 130 pounds. Tho
Greenville man ITO. The latter had two
friends with him evidently to insure fair
play. A hundred yards were measured
off, sufficient to take them from the range
of observation, suitable spot was
selected and the two men laid Oft their
coats.
The Charlotte operator, quick and ac-
tive, but otherwise at disadvantage,
made the onset and delivered several
well.directed blows upon the face Of the
other. The latter in his turn closed
with him and attempted to throw him.
The activity of the frst again came
to his assistance and successfully got the
inturu on his enemy, but, in the fall, ,un-
fortunately struck his head against the
corner of a, fence. His attention was to-
tally absorbed'in looking at stars for the
next few seconds, which his antagonist
took advantage of to invert the order OF
their position. The ITO FOUNDER now
had it all hisown way. He sat on top of
the Charlotte man and beat him TIL he
was too tired to beat any longer. The
Charlstte man,is true grit, however, and
under more favorable auspices probably
would have won the fight. No quarter
was asked or given. The names are
withheld by request Charlotte Observer,

TArFy FROM TExAs-I have not;seen
q single crib of corn with cover on IT,.
Corn cribs are built of jack poles to hold
from three to FIVE hundred bushels of
corn each. After the crib is illed dry
hay or sorghum stalks are thrown over
the top for covering. The smokehouses
are covered, but not nailed up. You can
see meat hanging in smokehouses as you
ride along the public road. The door is
propped with pole to keep dogs out.
Such thing as land deeds. mortgages,
bill of sale, ETC., as security, is never
heard of, but those who stand we'll can
get all the money they want on their own
paper.

The cablegrams of Wednesday
announce that Mr.. Charles Brad
laugh, elected to the House of Com
mons from Northampton, but not
permitted to take the oath of Office
on account of his declared disbelief
in the supreme authority which it
invokes, created something of an
uproar last Wednesday in the vicin-
ity of Westminster Palace. He gave
notice more thzna month ago that
on August he intended to appear
in the House and claim the privilege
of member. A mass meeting of
his adherents was heldin Trafalgar
Square Tuesday night, at which he
reiterated his threat Wednesday
morning a great crowd followed him
down to Westminster Hall. Mr..
Bradlaugh entered by the stairway
reserved for members and proceeded
to the lobby. The speaker, as soon
as he saw him enter the. door, di-
reeted his removal, and he was un-
tremendously hustled down. the
stairway and out-into the palace
ward, around which his friends were
assembled. They cheered him loud
ly,sbut no other demonstration was
made. Mr. Bradlaugh went to a
police station to procure warrants
for the arrest Of the officers who had
laid hands upon him, but not being
prepared to make the necessary aft
davit of information, the warrants
were refused.

TIE TEXAS AND PA0lELn.
New Orleans Democrat.

The track of the Texas and
Pacific railroad will tally, the latter
part of this month, its four hun
dredth mile from Dallas. The lat
est intelligence from the end of the
track is that there are good health
and fresh air at an elevation of 3, 100
feet above the sea, between the
waters of the south fork of the Col
orado and the PecOs rivers. The
scene draws its picturesqueness
from Colt Rock cut, a gigantic gap
OF 5000 feet in width, and in places
as deep as seventeen feet. The
Pecos river will be reached by Sep
tember /, and the Gaudaloupe noun
tains, which lie sixty miles farther
west, will be crossed, it is thought,
early in October instead of Deem
Der, as reported a month or so back.
The advance guard of civilization
in the new Texas just being reclaim
ed from solitude and sayageism COM
prises, in addition to the track force
of $50 men, the following: A
United States Commissioner and
Deputy Marshals to apprehend
Eiolators of the revenue laws, a
squad of mounted Texas Rangers
to exercise SO far as possible awhole-
some restraint on the festive and
FESTIVE spirits ofthe "cow boys" who
focked to the new towns in pursuit
of pleasure, and a company of the
Tenth United States Cavalry (col-
ored) charged with the duty of pro
tecting the tracklayers from inter
ference by the Indians. Camp life
with this crowd is full of weird in
terest, through which there runs an
eddying current of excitement, ris-
ing at times to height peculiarly
and positively thrilling.
Track laying since July l has
averaged two miles a day, and after
August l the track will be laid at
the rate of three miles a day. At
this rate, the weather permitting,
Ell Paso certainly will be reached
before Christmas. The track force
of $50 men, with sixty teams and
four construction trains, and the
consumption of twenty-four cars
of iron, seventy-five cars of ties and
twelve cars of water, are the figures
that tell the story of as rapid rail
road building, probably, as was
ever accomplished in this country,
not excepting that done by the Chi
nese on the Southern Pacific. The
wages of the iron men and spike
gang have been raised to 50 so per
day, the highest ever paid to laborers
on any railroad in this or any other
State.

COMING OUT.

Mrs. Garfield has written letter,
which has been published in the War
rem (O) Tribune, in which she says:
1.-The General is just beginning to have
a faint suggestion of an appetite. From
newspaper reports you would suppose
he had been taking beefstcak and lamb
chops by the quantity; but the truth is,
he has only tasted them to crafty the
doctors, and not alwsys to his own adj
vantage"
This shows ju,t how truthful reports
from the White H, use have be, n. The
public have been led to suppose that
if there was any one thing that troubled
the President more than another, it was
his ravenous appetite. His mind was
said to linger about the frying-pan and
skillet, and all thoughts of the hereafter
were swallowed up in his anxiety for
ham and eggs, roast beef, and mutton
chops. He was made to appear a gluc-
ton whom it took three doctors and
Mrs. Garfield to rest rain. 1t now seems
that each of these doctors stood over
him with a lamb chop TO run down his
throat the moment he opened his mouth,
and instead of attempting to find where
the bullet had gone they were trying
to saduce him with b"efste ak and onions
to take Thanksgiving dinner in July.
Little by little the truth comes out.

4 BOLD AND HEART'LESS BE-
IRA YAE.


The Richmond Dispatch publishes
the details of a remarkable bold and
heartless betrayal ola young lady of
the best connections in that city by
a scoundrel who married her in
order to put himself In position to
perpetrate forgery for $500. The
young lady had seen an advertise
ment in the Hartford Churchman in
which widower in Ohio wished a
governess for his little daughter
She applied for the place, and back
ed the application with the highest
recommendations, including a letter
from her pastor, a highly esteemed
clergyman, and one from an eminent
jurist. The advertiser went to Rich
mond and had several interviews
with the young lady. These were
so satisfactory that after his depar-
ture for the North the clergyman
who had recommended her qualifica-
tons was astonished to receive u
note from him announcing that he
had determined not to take the lady
he had recommended for gOverness,
but that he desired to secure his
service in making her his wife. In
a few days thereafter he returned
to Richmond, and the would be
governess was married to the gentle
man from Ohio. The groom brought
numerous well-written letters of in
PRODUCTION, which placed him on an
excellent footing, and as a wedding
gift he settled, with pen, ink, and
paper, $50, 900 on the bride. Then
they started on their wedding tour;
but before starting the groom was
introduced at the First National
Bank, where he presented letters of
credit that gained for him ready
recognition as a responsible man,
and a draft on a large banking house
of Chicago secured for him the
ready cash (S80O) for the immediate
wants of a person of his represented
Importance.
The name gwen by the groom
was Thos. Marvin. Several days
passed and no intelligence came
from the bridal party to their friends
in Richmond, but the return to the
bank of the $500 draft, with advice
from Chicago that it was paipable
forgery, and the horrible conclusion
was forced upon her friends that
their loved one had been the victim
of vile imposition. The gentlemen
purporting to introduce Marvin
were Immediately telegraphed to,
and while the names of many were
found to be fictitious, the response
from others came that the letters
were wretched targeries. In the
a dispatch came from
N. Y, from the bride asking
if it was true that her mother had
been killed by an accident at Salem,
Va, AS reported in a Northen paper.
1t was afterwards ascertained that
Marvin had manufactured and pub
lished the story of the accident,
thinking she would return home
and he make his desertion of her
more easy Friends hurried to res
cue the victim and return her to her
family, and detectives were put upon
the track of the forger, but he is
supposed to have made good his es-
cape into Canada. The Richmond
press withholds the name of the un-
fortunate victim. The first negotia
lions in answer to the advertisement
for a governess began early in July,
and the marriage took place last
week.

DR.. George A. Mathes, late editor
and proprietor of the Brownsville
States, died at the residence of his
brother, Mr.. J. Harvey Mathes,
editor of the Memphis Ledger, on
Sunday afternoon 31st inst. The
Ledger, in notice of the demise Of
this excellent gentleman and able
Journalist, states shut he was in the
38th year of his age, having been
born on the 10Th day of October,
1914, near cambridge, Jefferson
county, East Tennessee, where his
father, the Rev VIM. A Mathes,
still resides. The deceased served
through the war as soldier in the
ranks of the Thirty seventh Tennes-
see Infantry, his first engagement
being in the disaster under Zollicof-
fer at Mill Springs, near Somerset,
Kentucky, and at Peach Tree Creek,
July goth, 1864, desperate wound
disabled him from further active
service. Just seven months ago
Sunday, his cQnsort, formerly Mary
Dulin, of South Carolina, passed
away victim to the same fell des-
troyer which had then marked him
for his own. The remains of DR..
Mathes were conveyed to Browns
vile yesterday for interment. We
extend our sincere sympathy to his
children and relatives in their sad
bereavement.
