ADUEL BETWEEN WOMEN.
Fighting to Death on Account of
Young Mans Love.

Fuller details have been received of
the fatal fight between two women of
st. Pauls township, N. c., June 5,
1881. They met by appointment TO
settle their differences, and the strug-
gle between them must have been
terrible one. Jane Mcclellan and
Francis McNair were both young and
were rivals for the love Of young man
of the neighborhood. The man in the
case seems to have courted them both.
At all events both OF the girls were
dead in love with him and had set
their hearts upon winning him. For
long time there had been a bad feel.
ing between them. They avoided each
other as much as possible, but al lasb
their hatred overcame them and tLey
quarrelled openly. During tie past
few days hostile messages had passed
between the two women, the exact
tenor Of which has not leaked out,
although important and sensational
developments are looked Tor before
the ofhcer gets through with the
affair. At any rate they agreed to
fight it out, and met on Friday even
ing in a secluded dell, not far from
the main road, and began to settle the
trouble between themselves. Jane
Mcclellan was the larger and more
muscular, though her antagonist, while
spare, was 1.-THE and quick of motion.
They fought each other like tigers,
and finally Jane McKellar succeeded
in throwing her small but plucky op-
ponent and with her heavy knee
pressed in the stomach of the pros
trate woman, grasped her by the throat
with the fury of tigress, and we'll
nigh choked her life from her, Finally.
BY last terrible effort, Francis Nc
Nair, who bad been wriggling upon.
the ground like a serpent in agony,
gave sudden twist of the body,
forcing her antagonist to lose her seat
and fall sideways to the ground. Be-
fore she could recover herself, Frances
got on her feet, drew a bowie-knife
! and plunged it into the heart Of Jane
MoKellar, who died with one gasp.
When, on sight of the gaping wound,
the victor in the fight tell across the
dead body, where shO was found. A
party had followed them, but too late
to prevent tho terrible tragedy.

The Court of His Honor Justice Har-
mon has proved a prolific source of ques-
tons of privilege in the last two or three
days. Hon. Thomas Wren was the first
to illuminate through this easy medium of
saying most anything a man wants to say
and no restraint. Mr.. Wren has been
long in the harness and ought to have a
thicker hide, but he continues sensitive so
that for fear OF tantalizing a gentleman OF
excellent humor to any greater extent we
shall not reproduce his speech in Mr.. Har-
mons Temple Of Justice. Hon. Geo. W.
Baker, also, arose to a question OF privi-
leee yesterday. If anything of that kline
was going around loose and without cost
ing a cent he was going to have a little OF
the privilege himself. He could hardly
keep his face straight while he was vindi-
eating himself before His Honor against a
newspaper squib, but his adversaries who
could never get a joke into them in any
other way than possibly by injection
looked as GUM as bears on an iceberg.
We shall look for another questioned
privilege th~underboldt this morning.
