wife, we'll known people of Williams
port while attending a funeral, were
both severely injured by beirg thrown
from their carriage while the team was
running amay. A strolling band oi
shoSmen, with tree bears and monkey
passed them on the road and caused the
horses to take fright. In the fall from
tue carriage Mr.. Fock had three ribs
broken and sustained severe internal
injuries which the doctor fears may
prove fatal HIS wife had her left arm
broken and disjointed at the elbow and
was terribly bruised about the body.
The accident occurred on the public
road this side OF Larry's creek.

Souarine the Circle,

James Morton, Philadelphia math-
ematician, claims to have solved the
problem known as ''squaring the circle"
The solution of this problem of finding
the exact area of circle has occupied
the attention of mathematicians from
time immemorial. Many claimed to
have performed it, but their demonstra-
tions have always failed to stand the
test. The nature of the problem places
it outside of the domain of arithmetical
calculation, but Notwithstanding this adj
mitted fact, the ratio between diameter
and circumference has been carried out
to over six hundred decimal places. So,
by geometrical methods, Mr.. Morton
thinks he has ACCOMPLISHED the quadra-
ture of the circle His recently pub
lished book contains the result of his in
designations on the matter, and much
other information on relative TOPICS
His solution, put in the form of prop
osition, is as follows: ''The square of
the diameter of any circle is to its area,
as the perimeter of a square described
on the diameter of the circle is to it's
circumference; or conversely, the area
of any circle is to the square of its diam
eter, as the circumference of the circle
is to the perimeter of square described
on its diameter.

A Duel to the Death.
A Fatal Meeting Fifty Years Ago.

Robert Crittenden fought a very re-
markable duel about the year 1880. He
was canvassing Arkansas rs candidate
for Delegate to Congress, General Con-
way, the brother of the subsequent Gov
ernor of the State of that name, being
his opponent. The latter was Jack
son man." while Crittenden was ''anti-
Jackson" in the political nomenclature
of that day. They met in debate at Lit
tie Rock. There was an immense con-
course of people in attendance, and
party feeling ran very high. The dis
cussion mepersonal, and Critten-
den at the close Of his second speech re-
marked that he ''trusted no gentleman
would utter words in the heat of debate
toward him such as could not be tole-
rated by the code of HONOR Conway
retorted in a torrent of bitter invective
and personal denunciation. Crittenden
briefly and calmly rejoined: "Your Ian
guage, General Conway, admits of only
one answer, and that, you may be sure,
I viii make right speedily" A hostile
message was sent the same day, and the
meeting arranged for the following
morning.
A vast throng had collected to witness
the duel, for there had been no attempt
made to conceal it. Ben Desha, a son
of Governor Desha, of Kentucky, was
Crittenden's second. There was some
delay in settling the preliminaries, at
which General Conway became impa.
tient and excited, while Crittenden re.
NAMED perfectly cool, stretched quietly
on a blanket, with his eyes closed, as
though he were sleeping. Finally the
principals were called to their positions.
1.-The spectators says an eyewitness,
"at glance contrasted their aspect and
bearing. Crittenden inherited the no
blest of human forms. with fair hair
blue eyes, and lofty countenance
frank and open in its expression, anC
wearing the seal of death defying brave
ry. He stood cool, collected, and un
concerned, like rifeman about to fire
at mark. But Conway had sterr
face. eyes dark as night, and his look o.
indubitable courage was perceptibly
tinged with revenge. At length Desht
gave the word in voice that rang ovel
the hill like the peal of trumpet
Fire! One-Two-Threer At the souni
Fire? Conway raised his weapon ant
drew the trigger. His bullet grazet
Crittenden's breast and cut a button of
his coat, without more injury. Blu
Crittenden waited until the last echo O
the word Two and then his pistol ex
ploded. Gen. Conway dropped to tn
earth like lead. The ball had pierce.
his heart.' Crittenden died of fever :
few years after these events.

Making Names tor Railroad Stations.
When the Illinois Central Railway was
surveyed through the grand prairie. how
to find names for the stations to be put
some twelve or fifteen miles apart was
q matter of considerable difficulty, for
no distinguished savage or learned pun
dit had lived at these convenient dis
tances to become immortal By having
his name attached to these embryo
towns and cities. The late John CAL
houn, at the time an officer-n we mis-
take not Land C0mmissi0ner-was with
the engineers when locating the road.
While enjoying their siesta one day with
only the prairie bounding the horizon In
all directions he and his friend hit upon
q happy and original expedient which
solved the perplexing problem without
further trouble. "Yon give me-" said
one to the other, 1.-TWO, not more than
three, consonants in any case, and al
low me to arrange them with any VOW

once adopted. ':NTL," said his friend.
