Fighting a Duel with Whips.

GREENSBORO, \. c., October 25.-
Much excitement prevails here over
the result of a fight with whips,
which occurred near the old battle
field of Guilford Court House yester-
day afternoon. Edward Johnston
and Charles Williams had a dispute
about young woman, and agreed
to settle the matter with horsewhips.
Each procured new whip, and, in
the presence of about fifty people,
and barred tv the waist, began the
fight For three hours they cut
each other on the head, face and
body with their peculiar weapons.
Each man seemed to take a savage
delight in the dreadful work, and
continued until they were unable
longer to use the whips. Edward
Johnston was so badly cut that his
skin hung in shreds from his body
and face. Williams was terri
bly, punished. They were car
ried to their homes by friends, and
are now in critical condition.

Ten wears ago General HartranI

Ten years ago General Hartranlt,
a brave, layal soldier, was running
for Governor. The Democrats, with
such allies as Curtin, Mcclure and
Forney. opened the flood gates OF
islander and abuse on him, and en-
deavored to drive him off the ticket
but the people rebuked these vile
traducers and elected Gen. Hartranft
Governor. This year General Bea-
yer, a brave, loyal. crippled soldier,
is running for Governor, and the
Democrats, with Stewart, Wolfe and
Mcclure, are villifying him all over
the State, but the people will do
this year with General Beaver inst
as they did with General Hartranft
in 1872, they will elect him Govern.
or and rebuke the ISLANDERS the DEM
ocrats and their Independent allies
have heaped upon a brave, crippled
soldier, and an honest, Christian
gentleman, and elect General Beaver
Governor. He was true to the peo-
pie IN war, and the people will be
true to him in peace.

Face To Face with a RaItlesnake e.

WELLsBoRo, Oct. 20.-One day
this week an engineer on the New
Pine Creek, Jersey Shore and Buffa
10 Railroad, climbed a rockey bluff
on Pine creek to make an obserya-
ton. He was holding on to small
tree, some fifty feet up the almost
perpendicular bluff, when he was
alarmed by seeing huge rattlesnake
preparing to spring at him. In a
flash he had to decide whether to
drop to the bottom of the bluff and
probably break his neck, or to grasp
the snake with his other hand. He
chose the latter as the lesser of the
two evils, seized the rattlesnake with
a firm grip in the left hand, hurled
it from him down the precipice and
saved his own life.

1t seems impossiblethat a remedy
made of such common, simple plants

such great cures as Hop Bitters do;
but when old and young, rich arc
poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and

and try them yourself, and doubt no

Closing His Whea: Transactions-state
of the Markets.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-The committee ap-
pointed to confer with the long interest in
the July wheat deal met this afternoon in
the chamber of commerce, and reported
that they had consulted with Messrs. Ker-
shaw d Armour. and that the latter has ex-
pressed the kindliest regard for those who
stood in the gap, and that these parties
would not be pushed, but their cases would
be allowed to remain in stGtu quo pending
the decision of the injunction cases.
The markets were rather firm to-day
Wheat was higher, No. advancing from
= to d cents per bushel. It was noticed
that McGeoclr closed this option out at
9812c, and to large extent at 99c. sold in
big blocks, and it is thought that he begins
to fear heavy receipts and combination
of shorts which, il is said, is forcing
with the object of breaking the
September corner. A very large amount
of September wheat was closed, the shorts
generally taking advantage of chance to
cover. Speculation was fairly act i've in
the other months. Thx visible sepply of
weeat is 12,045, $50 bushels, showing an
increase of 100000 bushels. Receipts of
wheat are encouraging, and if they contin-
ue fair, the premium for cash wheat will
disappear. Closing prices were 981l for
September; 9+18 foo Oc}ober; 9315 for
November; 9314 year,
Corn was weaker, and under the influence
of continued fair weather fell lie for
cash. The bears still seem to have the
control OF this product, but the general
feeling is nervous and big revulsion may
be expected any day. The visible supply
of corn is 6.251,732 bushels, an increase OF
100000 bushels. The crop report is very
bright, and if frost holds of
for two more weeks, we have
promise OF large crop. Closing prices
were, csc September; 66llc October; 621lc
November; SOC year; 52c January and 5358
May.
Oats were lower. The receipts are not
extraordinarily heavy, but the impression
prevails that the country is full of oats,
ready for market. Operators say the price
Will go to 20c. The visible supply of oats
5,S94,304 bushels, showing an increase OF
2,250,000 bushels. Closing prices were 33c
September: 323$c October; 31Bc Noven1-
Der and 341 March.
The pork market closes very sick, but
is subject to severe reaction. Closing
on curb at $2O70 September and October
$19.20 November; $18.6715 year; 1886!
