San francisco Post.

that.
"And how does it work.
''Oh, first rate. The house owner says
he'll attend TO the repairs himself. He

Rairna RrInes DAWN His nran.


STAUNToN, Va, June 30.-Beirne and
Elan, the Richmond duellists met this
morning near New Hope, this county.
At the first exchange of shots neither
was touched. At the second shot Elan
was struck in the upper part OF the
thigh and Beirne escaped unhurt
BeIrne then expressed himself as salts
fed ana the parties left the field in OPP
pOsite directions.
Beirue was represented, it is reported,
by young Chalkly and Wright, of Rich
mond, and Elan by John Spelling and
John F. Lewis and son. Elan was dan
gerously shot through the right thigh.
He Is at hotel at WaynesbOrO, and has
telegraphed for his wife. Belrne passed
Charlottesville for RIchMOnd on the
IL 20 train.
ADDITIONAL. PARTICULARS OF THE DUEL.
STAUNToN, Va, June 30.-It is impos-
sible at this time to gather minute par
tieulars of the duel. Elan had been
concealed not many miles from the
scene OF the combat for several days. He
was at the residence of John Lewis, son
of Hon. II. j. Lewis. The arrangement
for the meeting was matured in Rich
mond at the time when Elan was in
this vicinity and Beirne in West Vlr-
gina. Some point about midway be-
tween the two places was fixed as the
place. A change of seconds was made
and the cartel as previously deter
mined, namely, Colts skies, at eight
PAGES, was agreed upon. Both princi-
pals managed TO evade the authorities
and at 6 this morning met in strip of
woods about two miles from WaynesbOro
the junction of the Shenandoah Valley
and Chesapeake & Ohio rOailroads.
The distance was marked off and at the
first fire neither of the men was struck.
Beirne, the challenger, demanded a
second shot, which was granted and the
bullet from his pistol imbedded itself In
the upper part of Elam's right thigh.
Beirne was untouched. Elan Tell to the
ground, and Beirne, raising his hat to
his fallen opponent, was hurried to q
carriage and driven rapidly away,
and subsequently he took the train
at Crimosa. Eiam was also convened In
a carriage to a house near by where his
surgeon attended him. 1t was found
that the extraction of the ball would be
attended with danger and a consulta-
ton among the surgeons was held. The
fact that the ball failed to force its way
through is taken as evidence in con-
nection with the character of the weapon
used and the distance that il came IN
direct contact with the large bones. No
arrest has been made, nor does there
seem to be any disposition TO institute a
legal investigation. Elan was removed
