THE DUEL1srs IN HIDING,
RumOrs OF Plans for an Actual Fpco,,4o
Somewhere To-day

SOhHoWhorN 1O-uhys
RICHMOND, VA, June 25.-The tIeenest
interest Is manifested in the movements
looking toward a duel between r. z. .Beirne
editor of the State, and w. c. Elan, editor
OF the Wing, and all sorts of sensational and
baseless rumors have been prevalent to- day.
One of these reported the hostile meeting as
having occurred, with fatal results to Mr..
ELAN. There was no sbrt of foundation for
any of the stories The best informa-
tion here states that Mr.. Beirne was in
Greenbrier county yesterday. An attempt
was made by the sheriff to arrest him, but
Mr.. Beirne got notice of it and eluded the
officers. He moved, and his whereabouts are
now unknown. Elan Us believed to be near
here. The distance which is believed to
separate the men makesit impossible for any
meeting 10 occur within the next IL hours.
All OF the trains are closely watched and
those who are supposed to be in any way
connected with the pending affair are shad-
owed by the authorities.
1t Is quite certain that negotiations have
been going on for another meeting. Where,
OF course, is only matter of conjecture. A
pair of navy revolvers have been secured by
one of Beirne's representatives for use on
the occasion. These are already where they
viii reach the scene of the supposed conflict
1t is the general impression that nothing not
even arrests, can prevent a hostile meeting
between Beirne and Elam.
Captain Page McCarty and William L.
loyall, friends Of Beirne, and Col. A. W.
Jones and j. w. Minitree, friends of Elan,
had long conference to-day. 1t is believed
that arrangements for meeting are nearly
completed. 1t is positively asserted that
Clam has been in Richmond since yester-
lay, and that he left the city tonight
Messrs. MeCarty and Hoyall were seen on
the streets to-day, and this has given rise to
the impression that they will second
Mr.. Beirne.

The River at st. Louis stin Rising
Slowly,

The River at st. Louis Still Rising
...- Slowly. ...l
ST. LOUIS, June 25.--The river is still ris-
ing slowly, but the situation is practically
unchanged. In East st. Louis the Bowman
dyke and other weak points are constantly
! being strengthened. Threats were made
| last night to cut what is known as the Mad
l. on county dyke, high EN- bankment run
ming east from the river about a mile and a
half, and midway between Brooklyn and
Venice; but after a long and angry
wrangle between number Of the
inhabitants of the former place and some
people north of the dyke, it was decided to
do nothing until to-day. As the cutting of
this dyke would increase the inundation of
Brooklyn the people were very determined,
and guarded the levee all night with shot
guns and other weapons, but, so far as
known, no attempt was made to interfere
with 1t. .r
A large volume of water still flows through
the breaks made yesterday In the Chicago
and Alton and other railroad tracks, and 1t
is spreading out and covering more and more
bottom toward the bluff and along the Van
dalia Railroad, but no damage to the latter
is reported. Reports from points along the
Missouri river vary. At some places the
water is rising. At Athens it has fallen
from few inches to two feet. 1t is safe to
say that there is considerably more water to
come down from this side of st. Joseph, aud
the rise here may be a foot more.
A dispatch from Bismarck says the yell
lowstone river is already as high as it was
last year, and that the Missouri river is also
rising at that point, kilograms from other
places high up the Missouri indicate that the
usual June rise has begun, and probably
some part of it will reach here before the
present flood has receded much. If so the
situation will become alarming, and the de-
struction of property along both the upper
and lower rivers will be appalling.
THE SITUATION AT KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 25.-The river
at p. m, marked % feet 4 inches on the
Signal Service gauge and rising steadily. 1t
has risen six inches since last midnighS, The
inhabitants of West Kansas City are prepar-
ing to leave, one or two families having
changed quarters to-day. There is much
apprehension regarding the ice houses and
other property along the river in that vi
cinity. The water is now considerably
higher than at any time since 1881.

1t is now pretty certainly ascertained the
fight will take place some time to. morrow,
probably in the morning, and out OF the

are Elam's physicians, and DIR. Landon b.
Edwards is Beirne's physician. They are

At meeting Of the directors of the Quick

nation of Manager Charles T. Watt was re-
ceived and accepted. This action was in
thorough accord with the wishes of . ma
jority Of the players, and will, It is sup

prevailed 90 long. John McHugh, q d.
rector, was elected temporary manager until
the position can be permanently filled.

THE MERRITFs BEAT THE AoTIvEs. "a.
The Merritts defeated the Actiyes In
Reading, yesterday, and the game is thus
reported In the Reading Times: Glands
and Murry began ss the home team battery.
Murry had finger hurt In the first inning
so severely that Ardner and he exchanged
positions. In the fourth inning, Murry
having again hurt his finger, Reynolds
was put In TO play center. In the
sixth inning Landis was knocked out
of the pitchers box, and Rev.
holds and he exchanged places. Despite the
defeat, the game was watched with interest
throughout. Moore played finely at second,
ana hoover playeu great game on right
field and made some very fine fly catches.
For the visitors, It need only be said that
they played iaultless game, and when they
batted they slugged with terrific and sad
effect. Appended is the score; itt.
