WR take IL all back. The Virginia
editors, Beirne and Elam, meant bust
ness in their duel and succeeded after
many difficulties and failures in effect
ing meeting near Waynesboro, Va,
where they stood up like warriors
fired 80 calibre balls at each other,
with only eight PAGES intervening. At
the first shot a simultaneous report Of
the pistols rent the air and Beirnes
sack coat was wounded in the tail.
GOaded by this fresh indignity he de-
manded second shot and steadying
his nerves, he pulled trigger and Elan
fell to the earth, severely wounded in
the thigh. Being unable tostand and
try It again, the wounded honors Of
the two billigerants were declared heal
cd and Beirne was driven rapidly
from the field. Elan was taken
charge Of by his surgeon and convey
ed in a carriage to 1t. Gov. Lewis,
where he lies in suffering condition.
His death would probably not affect
the material interests Of the State, If
indeed, it did not prove an advantage.
He is the hired tool of Malone and is
as plant and yielding to the base re-
pudiator as clay in the hands Of the
potter. Beirne, on the other hand,
has labored very hard to promote
the welfare of his State and keep her
in her former proud position, and is a
gentleman. 1t is pity
that he engaged in such business,
though if men must fight, the code is
preferable to the prevailing stile in
Kentucky and elsewhere of 'getting
he drop" ON man and killing him
almost in cold blood.

New York, Dec. 27.-There was little of
interest in the stock market during the
morning. Values changed but trife,
and transactions were light. The bidding
was anything but buoyant. Northern Pacific
Oregon Transcontinsntal, Western Union
and louisville & Nashville rather led in
activity, many Of the others being entire
ly neglected. Prices were inclined TO
weakness after midday, and later there was
free selling OF the Northern Pacific and
Western Union Telegraph, the decline in
the former being quite serious. Oregon
Railway & Navigation dropped from 1O2
to 100. It's surplus for the past six months
is reported as S320.OO0. The result of the
meeting at Council Bluffs, to be held
to-day, is awaited with considerable in
terest. The earnings of the Canada Pacific
for the third week of December increased
$4,000 and the Alton $4,000. Everything
looked feeble at the last. The grangers
were down to the lowest points of the day,
and the balance were not much better off.

Packers were paying $5.25@5.40 for the

An Old Paper.

Mr.. Charles Beasten, Of Middletown,
has handed us copy of the New Castle
Argus of the date of August Is, 1905. II
is paper of four pages, five columns to
the page, and contains more reading
matter than some of New Castles later
newspapers have ventured to print. The
Argus was printed by John Barber,
"every Tuesday and Friday at four dol
lars per annum in advance" but we half
suspect that John didn't always getit Gin
advance" The issue before us contains
much foreign news, several notices Of re-
wards for runaway slaves, an advertise
ment for Doctor Rawson's Stomach Bit
ters" and an "Ode to Modesty." Among
the foreign news is the statement that
Jerome Bonaparte's wife (nee Miss Pat
terson), had been ordered to quit France.
We see in the local column that John
Thompson, of Lewes Town, has married
Miss Mary Perkins, of Worcester, Mary
land, and that Risdon Bishop has died of
dropsy Of the breast. A "Sussex county
voter, in column article, takes ga retro
spective view of things since the late cleo
ton for Governor" and seems to be mad
about something. We suspect that his
candidate got left.

Vennor for April.

Vennor thinks that April will enter

From the 9Th to the 7th there will be
some good, mild pneumonia weather, with
an occasional snow squall for the sake of
variety. The 8th will make one feel like
getting down his last summers straw hat
and on the 9th or 10th a cold snap will
come along that will cause him to give an
order for another ton of coal. From the
1Ith to the 18th the weather will be warm,
with the usual April " fluctuations" which
means that there will be forty-two kinds
of weather every twelve hours and a full
change of program each day. The per-
formance will close with storm. A week
Of spring-fever weather will then set in to
conclude with thunder showers and hail
storms. The Goth and 21st will be warm
enough for the young folks to swing on

it will rain, particularly if you go away
from home and don't take your umbrella.
On the oath and 25th look out for cold
showers. On the 28th you will want to
know what in the mischief has become of
your linen pants, and your wife will tell
you that she has traded them for plaster
Of Paris saint by one Of the Old Masters.
On the 29th you will order another ton of

The IYChum.

There was a large attendance at the Ly-
ceum meeting on Monday evening. Mr.
J.F. Deakyne presided. About one hour
was consumed in the reading OF papers
prepared in answer to questions in Eng
lish literature. The questions had been
given out at a previous meeting. The
papers were all creditable efforts and were
listened to with much interest by the
audience. A paper on the Crusades, by
Miss Mollie Burris, deserves special men
ton. These exercises in English litera-
ture are both instructive and entertaining,
and the society seems to be taking much
interest in them. Questions were given
out. to be answered on April 9th, covering
the period from the time of Chaucer to the
beginning of the Elizabethian period.
Mrs. J. G. Carroll read "Paul Revere's
Ride" in manner that gained the warm
praise Of the audience. There was pleas
ing music. of course. A quartet, When
the Clouds Roll By" by Miss Jennie
Wright, Miss Mary Paullin, DIR. Kennedy
and Mr.. w. n. Wilson, was sweetly sung.
Miss Bessie Budd sung pretty selection
that was much applauded. Misses Lille
and Pet Naudain played spirited and
very pleasing instrumental selection. At
the end of the program committee was
appointed to consider the advisability OF
giving an entertainment at an early date
for the purpose of securing money to pay
the debt of S1lO which the society owes.
The committee will report at the next
meeting, advising that the entertainment
be held in the Lyceum Hall and that the
tickets be limited to the number of per-
sons that can be seated in the room. Next
Monday evening the regular monthly
public meeting OF the society will be held,
and it is to be known as " Irving Night
A literary program that cannot fail to de-
light the audience has been prepared, and
the musical committee promise very pleas
ing vocal and instrumental selections.
Among the original papers to be prepared |
for the occasion will be a biographical
sketch of Irving, and also "Irving as
/" and "Irving as Historian"
with many illustrations "grave and gay"
from his pen. An admission fee of five
cents will be charged at this meeting.
