Fatal Meeting In Eeutuolu Tifty
Years AGO.

Robert Crittenden, the brother Of
Henry Cr1ttenden, whose removal ia
Arkansos ! have mentioned, fought q
very remarkable duel about the yea
1SsO. He W. canvassing the Territory
% candidate for . delegate to Con.
4ress, General Conway, the brother ol
thesuboequent Governor Of the State Of
that name, being his opponent. The
latter Was jackson man, !" while Crit
tenden was ''anti-Jackson" In the 10
ltttcel nomenclature Of that day. They
met In debate at Little Rock. There
was IN immense concourse Of people in
attendance, and party feeling ran very
high. The discussion became personal,
and Cnttenden 1t the close Of his second
speech remarked that he trusted that
no gentleman would utter words in the
heat Of debate toward him such a. could
not be tolerated by the code of honor"
Conway retorted In q torrent Of bitter
tnvective and personal denunciation.
Crittenden briefly and calmly rej0ined:
"Your language, General Conway, adj
mits OF only one answer, and that, you
may be sure, I will make quite speedi-
ly." A hostile message was sent the
same day, and the meeting arranged for
the following morning.
A vast thr0ng had collected to witness
the duel, for these had been no attempt
made to conceal It. Ben Desha, q son
Of Governor Desha Of Kentucky was
Crittenden's second, and Colonel Whar-
ton Rector was the second Of Conway.
There was some delay in settling the
preliminaries. at which General Con-
way became impatient and excited.
while Crittenden remained perfectly
cool, stretched quietly on q blanket,
with his eyes closed - though he was
slts';'ing. Finally, the principals were
ca''s't to their positions. 1.-The specta-
tor>." says an eyewitness, ''at q glance
COZ rasted their aspect and barring.
Cri. ienden inherited the noblest of hui
nlam forms, with fair hair, blue eyes aud
. lofty countenance, frank and open in
it's expression, and wearing the seal Of
death-defying bravery. He stood cool,
collected and unconcerned, like q rifle
man about to fire at mark. But Con-
way had . stern face, eyes dark a. night,
and his look Of indubitable courage was
perceptibly tinged with revenge. At
length Desha gave the word in voice
that rang over the hills like the peal
of q trumpet-'Fire! One-Two-Three!
At the sound Fire. Conway raised his
weapon and drew the trigger. His bull
let grazed Crittenden's breast and cut q
button Of his coat, without more injury.
but Crittenden waited until the last
echo of the word two and then his
pistol exploded. General Conway drop
ped to the earth like lead. The ball had
pierced his heart. Crittenden died Of
. fever . few years after these events

IL
At Il quarter past o'clock the recov-
ing party went down the shaft, aud the
crowd in and around the building anx-
iOusly awaited their return. At eight
O'Clock three bells rang and the cage
slowly assembled. There was intense ex-
element, everyone crOwdling to get
glimpse Of the cage and its occupants
when it arrived. The cage reached the
top but it brought only one of those 1t
had taken down. They had gone into
the drift and found Callallan's body,
which was lying in two inches Of water:
They dashed the CORPSE to u plank and
carried it about l;1D feet Out when they
found one of the boats, In which they
placed the body, and pushed the boat
another 100 feet when they were obliged
to give up and return to the station and
ascend to the surface. Ice water was
dashed over the painting and steanling
men and they soon revived.
Later another brave party went
down and succeeded in bringing the
ltxly tu the surface, where it was placed
in coffin and taken to the rooms IF T..
NJ. Brown, the undertaken.
Another squad was then formed and
sent down for the bOdy Of Bennett,
which lay $50 feet further in the DRIFT.
The task of bringing this man was still
more difficult than the first. The me"
had not only to fight the heat, hut the
terrible OdlOr Of the accompanying body
made it impossible to work more than u
few minutes ut time. The men final
w succeeded in their task and thu corpse
was brought to the surface, whence 1t
was conveyed to the umderlaker's ut
Gold Hill.
SAVING: THE LIVING.
A relief party Of II men. under CONF
n,and Of W. II. Patton, then went down
on the cage for the purpose Of bringing
M the seven miners whose fate had
been the cause "f such deep and painful
anxiety to their relatives and the entire
people of the COnlstOck. The scene In
and around the hOisting works WAS now
one uf wild disorder and excitement.
Men, women and chileren were rush
ing to and fro, eager to get look at the
rescued miners. At last the cage began
to slowly ascend. The excitement was
intense. and when the cage arrived with
two of the lately imprisoned miners,
supported by their stalwart fescuers, the
ioy of the vast crowd that thr0nged the
works knew no bounds, and shouts and
cheers went up that shook the building.
A rush was made for the cage that no
human power could keep back, and the
men were at once TurF0undec by women

mine became moro favorable. Report
Of lights being seen in the west drift By
the men at w0ek on the station, and Of
distinct rappfngs being heard, were very
frequent, but we're hardly credited by
the majority At the people Of Virginia.
NEWS FBpM THE PRISONERS.
A Chronicles reporter started for the
mine ut half PIT O'Clock, and arrived
there just - "a. Van Dusen (bettel
known ~ "Yahk"), the man that had
successfully Performed the journey
through the lrift to the imp, isoned
miners, had n (ched the surface. Van
Dusen was rather weak when he arriv.
ed on top, but 5 tablespoonful Of brandy
administered direction Of the physi-
clan made him feel all right. and he
told his story e superintendent Boyle,
who listened u th tears of joy to the
glad tidings. r. Van Dusen described
Ills periloSs jo, hey and gave q full &C
count of the gr)ht Joy of the meeting.
At the cooling Ration, when he arrived
there, he said the men were glad to zee
him, hut he thought they were more de-
lighted to see the ice that he carried on
his back in the knapsack that he wore.
This knapsack h made of tin, and Is
about eighteen inches long and twelve
inches wide aud six inches deep. 1t
will hold % pounds Of ice. Rubber
tubes run from the sides to the mouth
piece, giving the water plenty of cold,
fresh air. This knapsack is the inven-
ton Of Andrew Peasley Of this city.
Van Dusen told a0Out passing the
bodies of the unfortunate Callahan and
Bennett, describing the locality of the
c0rpses. At the cooling house he found
the seven men in go0d condition, pa
tiently waiting for deliverance. The
men had turned the compressed air.
pine into the water-tank, and had suf-
fered for nothing except food and ice.
The cooling station IL about 80 feet
from the face of the DRIFT. After re-
naming short time Van Dusen start
ed hack with but very little ice in his
knapsack, having given the greater
mart of it to the men in the drift. Be-
fore he had proceeded far his lantern
went out, and Que of the ATTITUDES of his
refrigerator got broken. Having but u
very few pieces of ice left he hurried on,
guided by the lights Of the men at work
repairing the air.pipes, and reached the
station In an exhausted condition. But
he did not foint pr become unconscious.
It was q close c.s4, however.
Superintendent Patton had brought
down some men from the Union mine
who were at once set to work repairing
the air-pipes in addition to those a.
ready at work, and in short time the
necessary repairs were made and q shift
of twelve fresh men g"t ready to 90
down aud rescue the seven miners from
the living tomb in which they had been
buried over sixty hours. In the mean
time five of the Union men at work on
the statiOn-Janles Keegan, Jack Ferris,
Mike Buckley, James Dwyer and Tony
Pascoe- gone into the drift and
served ice to the men in the cooling
house.
