Capt. Jno. S. Wise, readjuster candidate
for congressman at large, and Jne. Crockett,
commonwealth attorney of Wythe county,
Va, came to Christianling, Va, on an early
train Tuesday morning and fought duel
near there with pistols.
First Roundabout fired at the word with
out effect
Second Round-CrOckett's pistol went of
prematurely. After reloading the weapon
both combatants were placed in position for
another exchange OF shots Wise's pistol
missed fire and Crockett's fire was again
harmless, Crockett the challenging party, ex-
pressed himself satisfied and the fight ter
minated. The meeting had its origin in q
personal renconoitre which took place Mon
DAY, the 17tl, inst, at Marion, when Capt.
Wise met Crockett and interrogated him
about certain language which was attributed
to Wise. Crockett acknowledged that he
made the statement, and said it was time,
Wise denounced it as false and struck
Crockett. Before the latter could resent the
blow outsiders intcrfered, and both were ar
rested and fined for breach OF the peace.
This caused the subsequent correspondence
which resulted in duel, No arrests.

Some people, ignorant of what good

incest work done on a newspaper. If
they see the editor with scissors in his

the way you are getting up original mat

witty questions with an idiotic wink or
smile. The facts are that the interest,
the variety and the usefulness of pa

Death of Minister Marsh.

Geo. P. Marsh, American minister to
Italy died suddenly at Vallembrosa on Mon
day last. The Italian government expressed
its deep sympathy with the widow and tele-
graphed to Washington an expression of
the sympathy of the Italian nation. Mr..
Marsh was born at Woodstock, VT, in 1901.
He was graduated ut Dartmouth college in
1920, removed to Burlington, where he was
admitted to the bar and practiced law. In
1885 he was elected member of the sr-
preme executive council of Vermont, and in
lS42 became representative in congress, re-
tanning his seat until 1S49, when he was ap-
pointed by President Taylor as minister res
,dent at Constantinople, retaining that posi-
ton for four years. In 1852 he was sent On
a special mission to Greece. In 1861 he was
appointed minister to Italy, which position
he held continuously up to the time of his
death. Mr.. Marsh was one of the oldest and
mo most respected diplomatic representatives of
this country, and was we'll and widely known
both in this country and abroad for his liter
ary works, especially translations.
