Tho Damage in the Black Hills.

A. Fox, cashier of the Merchants National bank
at Deadwood, writes as follows: The damage and
loss caused by the recent foods, though great and
extensive. is not as heavy at first appraheuded,
aud not OF such magnitude as 10 materially inter-
fere with business. In fact, we might say that the
losses sustained by our merchants and business
men arc comparatively insignificant compared
with the fire OF ! $40, and vii! cause them no in
convenience. II was at first thought it might lie
necessary tn call for outside assistance in behalf OF
the poorer casses who had lost their homes but upol
investigation such cases Of des:tutiou found to
g so rare and few that there is doubt but that
their wants can and will be relieved by our own
people. The towns and the county will be put to a
heavy expense in repairing roads and building new
bridges that have been washed out. This will of
course have tendency to increase our taxes. Many
OF the farmers have also suffered by the heavy
overflow npon the bottom lands: still, from the
damage is not general, or great was at first
feared. We learned a lesson from the fire, and an
other from our last calamity, which we Shall use to
our own profit and venture the assertion that in
less than Two years from now We shall have finer
and better built city upon what is now
rum and waste, and none of us
feel the poorer for it. The damage to the mines is
scarcely s, worth mention. Some OF them were
flooded but pumped out; some Of the
mills that were compelled to stop have already
started up again. and tie others will commence
soon as they can be put in shape to bring in fuel.
The damage to the Hpmestake companys railroad
Will be repaired, and wood ard timber trains run

AARON BURR'S PISTOLS.
A Formidable Pair ofWeapons, With
One of Which Hamilton Was

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
Some weeks ago | ran across perhaps
the most famous and fatal firearms on
this continent-the superb duelling pis-
tolls Of Aaron Burr. They are bone
breaking brace of the first calibre, and
the property of Captain Brent Hopkins
of this city. One of these pistols fired
the ball that killed Alexande er Hamilton
a. Weehawken. 1t is identified by a
long, deep notch indented on the han
die. The pistols were made by Morti-
mer of London, England, and were i'm
ported by Burr at the close of the revo-
lutionary war. The barrels are thirteen
inches long and carry an ounce ball.
They are flint locks, and the pans for
the priming are lined with gold, and the
toucholes are bushed with the same
metal. They are hair triggers, and shoot
are very superior and OF exquisite mec-
hanism. The pair came into the pos
session Of Capt. Brent Hopkins, the
present owner, through his uncle, Capt.
Goode Hopkins of the Forty-second
regiment of United States dragons, who
purchased them from Burr in Washing
ton city in the winter of 1913 or 1914,
paying $500 in gold for them. Burr re-
marked at the time that he would n OF
etany one have the pistols, as he had
used them with Hamilton.
The weapons have surely blood
stained history. They have been used
with fatal effect in eleven duels Among
the sanguinary combats, Pettis of Vir-
ginia killed Biddle on Bloody Island
near st. Louis; Edward Towns Of Virgin.
ia killed Frepchman near New Orleans;
Capt. Sam 'ioode Hopkins killed a
Spanish Count near Madrid, Mo-; Hugh
Brent killed man from Georgia on
Diamond Island, below Henderson
Ky. They We're used several times in
Virginia, twice in South Carolina, and
more than once in Kentucky with dead
ly effect, Robert Triplett of Owensboro
shot the old lawyer Phil Thompson, Of
that city through and through
with one of them, but strange
to say, Thompson recovered and grew
as fat as bear. Henry Clay and Capt.
Hopkins were fast friends, and the
former was to have used the pistols in
one of his duels, but they arrived a day
too late.
