Personal Appearance of the Men.

W. c. Elan is one of the best known men
in Virginia, and has been connected with
Richmond journalism for several years as
editor OF the Wing. He is about fifty-fve
years of age and a person of exemplary
habits. Small of stature and quiet demean-
or, he is the last man in the world one would
take for duelist. He has fought several
battles, however most of them over politics,
and he is known throughout the State as
ready TO meet his man at any time. Since
the Whig has favored the cause of Malone
l Elan has been a great, yet quiet power in
Virginia, and the success of the Readjuster
party Is largely due to his good judgment
and hard work. He is unobtrusive, but full
0f life and energy.
In 1880 he fought his last duel prior to
his one. Judge Tom Smith, of Fauquier,
was his antagonist. Elam was wounded in
the chin, and lost part of his under jaw.
This meeting was over politics, as the pres
ent one was, and if he should die or live it is
probably not the last one that will grow out
of the present acrimonious discussions now
going on in Virginia After this duel with
Smith, Elam was arrested, and the authori-
Z les. who were politically against him., made
i, fort to convict him. but the fact of a
feesting could not be proved although most
s the actors were brought into court.
5.eirne is about twice the size of Elan.
weighing about 225 pounds. He is beefy
,slow individual, who has plenty of means
and enjoys life. He owns The State, an after
noon Democratic paper, at Richmond For
two years past there has been bad blood be-
tween the editors of the two papers. More
than year ago duel was provoked by the
heated political condition, and Senator Harry
Riddleberger challenged Beifne and Congress
man George D. Wise. Wise and Riddleberger
fought but Bierne's second forgot his percus-
sion caps, and there was fasco In the meet
ing between Beirne and Riddleberger, for
which the former was blamed.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Hill investigat-
ing committee resumed Its session; and Gen
eral Steinmetz continued his testimony rela-
tive to the cost of extra work of Bartlett,
Robbins & Co., upon the New York post
Office.
Mr. Coleman proposed to go into detailed
examination of the charges made for this ex-
ira work with view to showing that exces-
sive charges had been made and allowed.
Chairman New said the committee would
allow half an hour in this examination, and
would then listen to testimony in the Man.
ley, Cooper & Co. case.
Mr.. Coleman protested that be was not pre-
pared to go into that subject, as he had been
given to understand that the charges against
Bartlett, Robbins & Co. would be considered
at length this morning.
After some discussion, General Steinmetz
was allowed to testify. He said $400 would
have been fair price for the ornamental
work on the staircase in the New York post
office, for which Bartlett, Robbins Co.
charged $500. Other items were scaled down
in about the same proportion.
Mr.. Damon, of Boston, then took the stand
to meet Manly, Cooper & Co.'S charges. He
testified that he never offered Manly, Cooper
& Co. $4, 5O0 or any other sum, to withdraw
their bid; but a representative of the last
named firm did ask witness what he would
give them to withdraw the contract Witness
refused to make an offer.
After some further testimony, the evidence
for the United States Shutter Company
closed, and General Steinmetz was recalled.
He declared that about $4,000 had been il.
legally charged and allowed to Bartlett, Rob-
bins d Co. for extra work upon the New York
postoffice.
Mr.. Hill was called upon to produce certain
vouchers, and the committee adjourned until
July 5.

The government has endeavored to
