The Duelio
REsoET2D TO BY NEW ORLEANS JOURNALISTS.
New ORLEANS, June IA duel was
fought this morning at. slaughter.house
between Major L. A. Burke, OF the Times
Democrat, and S. II. Parker, editor OF the
Plcayune. Five shots were exchanged. At
the fifth shot Burke was shot through |
both thighs, though no bones were broken, |
ana the wound not considered dangerous. |
Major Burke feeling aggreved at certain |
editorial articles which appeared in the |
Ilcayunc on Friday sent peremptory |
challenge to Mr. Parker, editor of the Plea |
yune, 10 EgAt him duel. Parker accepted |
and his representatives., George Hall and |
James RcnsEaw named Mississippi |

had the choice of distance and James d. !
Houston and Major John Augustin,
his seconds, fixed it at two and hall |
PAGES. Though no reasons were given by |
Burke friends for naming SO short dis
lance, 1t is generally understood they did |
so because of the reputed experiences of
Parker with the weapons selected. The |
distance named not being satisfactory, after
conference, regular duelling pistols were |
finally agreed upon as the weapons TO be |
used and the distance twenty PAGES, the |
ground selected being in st. BERNARD par
ish, near Slaughter-house. Major Burke !
and friends arrived first, and were soon |
joined by Mr.. Parker and his friends. !
Burke seconds won the toss for position, |
and Hall was selected to give the word. |
Everything being ready, the principals !
took the positions assigned them, and at |
the word the weapons were discharged al |
most Simultaneously. Neither OF the gem |
tlemen being hurt, an effort was made by |
the seconds to adjust the difficulty. Burke's |
friends held that their principal had been |
wronged, and asked ii the wrong would be |
rghted. ParRer's friends admitted that |
Burke was a man of courage, aud thought |
that Was sufficient. Burke's friends claimed |
that the Picayune had criticised him too |
freely, that such criticisms were outside the |
pale OF journalism. Burke's friends claim
ed that he had a right TO criticise any public |
official, and still reserved that right. AS no
compromise could be effected, the prin-
cipals took their position for the second
shot, which was, like the first without re-
suit. Unsuccessful efforts, similar TO those
made after the first fire, followed the second
round. After the third round long parley
ensued, Burke's friends demanding that
Parker should acknowledge. the bravery and
official integrity OF Burke, which his friends
claimed Parker impugned N some of the
articles in the Pcayune. As Parker's
friends declined TO make n satisfactory
disclaimer no further effort at compromise
was made and the fourth and fifth rount S

shot through both legs about eight inches
above the knee, and would have fallen,

When Parker's friends discovered that
