was present when the letter of
Justice Bradley declining to grant

letter struck him to the heart. Ii

seemed to lose courage, but rs |

nerved himself up with a good deal
Of resolution and began to pound a
table in the old way, and to talk
about his theory of inspiration.
Then taking Mr.. Reed, his counsel,
to one side, he whispered very en-
couragingly in his ear, and among
other things he was heard to say /:
"YoG must now fprce the theory OF
inspiration upon Arthur. 1t must
be done" But it is very evident
that nothing can force President
Arthur to interfere.
One OF the jail officials remarked
to-day that Guiteau was noticeSbly
less cheerful than yesterday and be-
gins to realize that he is doomed.
The gallows was erected some days
ago, but no further preparation will
be made until next week. The exc

At this point Mr.. Nesbit. of Blair,

GLENwooD, June II, 1882.
.Kr. William Nesbit
DEAR SIR: Just home after an ab-
sence of some weeks. | find yours
of the Sth inst, in the postoffice.
Your desire to present my name for
Congressman-at-L Large to the Repub-
lican Convention which is to meet
on the Dist, I appreciate as spring.
ing from your uniform kindness and
interest in my behalf; for which ac-
cept my grateful thanks. But | am
not a candidate for any political po-
sition. Engrossed in my own busi-
ness affairs have not the time, even
if had the desire, to engage again
in any of our State politics.
Respectfully yours,
GALUsHA A. Grow.
Mr.. Caldwell then withdrew the
nomination of Mr.. Grow.
VIM. Patton, of Philadelphia,
nominated Col. VIM. M. Bum, but
that gentleman Immediately with
drew himself.
Mr.. Brosius withdrew his name,
stating that he did not regard him
self as the man to lead in this ext
gency.
Immediately thereon delegates
rushed from their seats in great ex-
citement to the vicinity of Mr.. Bro
sius and earnestly protested against
his withdrawal. The Convention
was fast getting into a stampede for
Brosius and Colonel Goblin, at the
top OF his voice, shouted: Il say
that if this Convention will honor
Lancaster County by nominating
Brosius, she will give the biggest
in her history, and he will
carry the Republican flag triunl-
phant throughout the state"
On this the enthusiasm fer Brosius
broke out anew, and his efforts to re-
enforce his declination were over
come by his friends, wEo surround |
ed him rs a living circle. Again |
there was danger of a stampede to
Brosius in the shape of nomina-
tioa by acclamation, but the presi-
dent nippcd it in the bud by order
ing the ballot to proceed. AS the |
first name on the roll was called |
and the response came ''Brosius,"
the Convention again broke into
cheering. Rapidly the votes for
Brosius piled up, and before the roll |
was half called the nomination of
Lancaster's fayorite was assured.
The first and only ballot resulted |

Picayune had criticised Major Burke too
severely. Mr.. Parker's friends claimed
that he had the right TO criticise any
public official, and still reserved that
right. Major Burke's friends said that
the criticisms we're outside the pale OF
journalism, and as no compromise could
be effected, the principles were placed
in position for second shot.
AT the word both weapons we're dis
charged, but neither OF the principnls
were injured, and second parley fol-
lowed with ;he same result, and the
principals cooly faced each other for the
third word. Again were tue weapons
discharged, and again did both principals
miss their adversaries. II was now evil
dent that the duel was a desperate one,
and that both gentlemen would remain
firm until one or the other felt
The pistols having been prepared the
fourth shot was fired, but again both
men missed, and as no other parley was
engaged in, the gentlemen remained
reedy for another shot, The fifth fire
was more effective; the principals had
become accustomed TO the use Of THEN
weapons, and when the reports of the
weapons rang out, Major Burke foil in
his tracks.
This ended the duel. Major Burke
was conveyed TO the city, aud Mr., Park.
er left the scene. The valious witnesses
to the duel all agree in stating that the
principals acted with remarkable cour,
age aud ooolness, aud that the aflail
! was conducted according to the rules
prescribed by the code.

Major Bnrke, State Treasurer, and ed
itor Of the Times-Democrat, feeling ag-
grieyed at certain editorial articles
which had appeared in the New Orleans
Plcayune during the past month, on Fri
day night at 10 o'clock, sent peremp-
tory challenge to Mr.. Parker, editor of
the Picayune. to fight him duel.
Mr.. Parker accepted, and through his
representatives, Mr.. g. L, Hall and
Capt. Jas. a. Renshaw, named Missis-
sippi rifles as the weapons.
Major Burke had the choice of distance
and Mr.. Jas. ID. Houston and Major Jno
Augustin, his seconds, fixed two aud a
half PAGES.
This it seems was not satisfactory and
after parley it was agreed that the reg
ular duelng pistol should be used. Fif
teen PAGES was the FIRST distance chosen,
whereupon second conference was held
and the distance changed to twenty PAGES
and piece Of ground in the rear Of the
slaughter house selected as the dueling
ground The time having been fixed as
six O'Clock this morning and nothing hav
ing transpired to prevent the meeting
the principals repaired to tile spot select

Mr., Parker and his friends,
The seconds then tossed for position
and the word, Major Burke winning the
toss and taking position with his back
to the river Mr.. Hall was selected tc
give the word, and everything being
ready the principals faced each other.
Both men we're cool and collected, and
at the word the weapons weie discharged
almost simultaneously. Neither Of the
gentlemen were hurt, and as is custom
ary on such occasions, the seconds ap
preached each other for conference
