the same time told Mr.. Murray to con
slider himself under arrest, and demanded
his pistol, which be gave up. Mr.. Murray
was not struck by any of the bullets
Maj. Moore received slight wound ir
the right thigh.
Maj. Moore used 3S-calibre Smith &

used 32-calibre self-acting Smith e. Wes
son pistol, with the action of which he
was not familiar, as he had never before
fired one.
We have endeavored to give as correct
version of the affair as possible, and
with that end in view have secured oul
information as to the combat from Chic
of Police Fant, who was an eyewitness
of the whole affray. The above statement
is as he gave it 10 u.s..
Later in the afternoon Maj. Moore was
placed under bond to keep the peace iu
the sum of one thousand dollars, and
Mr.. Murray was placed under a similar
bond pending preliminary hearing,
which he demanded.
For obvious reasons we forego any COM
ments on the affray.

ANDERSON, C. H., s. e., Sept. Is, 1885.
GENTLEMEN: I have carefully exam
ined your kind communication of yester-
day evening. I greatly appreciate The
motives that caused you to write to me in
reference to the troubles between MAJ.
Murray and myself, growing out of the
speeches made at the Flat Rock meeting,
and his subsequent editorial in the INTEL
LraENcER. My esteemed friend, A. T.
Broyles, Esq, applied to me on Friday
evening last to know if I, would submit
the controversy now pending between
Mai. E. B. Murray and myself to mutual
friends to adjust. replied I would not
so submit it-that had purposely kept
aloof from my friends, but at his personal
request I have agreed TO- consult with
friends, and as soon as it could be done,
to notify him Of my conclusion.
I had an answer prepared for Mr..
Broyles when your communication
reached me, andI now make it to you.
If Mai. Murray had been content to make
his own report of the speeches at Flat
Rock, I should have found less difficulty
in consenting to your proposition but
instead thereof he writes and publishes
an editorial in his own private paper,
ruinious To my character as man and as
O gentleman, and therein invites me 10 q
personal contest, and leaves me no other
alternative but to accept it.
Without withdrawal Of that editorial,
cannot, with all due respect to my
friends, consent to put myself in their
hands. I am; gentlemen, truly your
friend, -; JOHN 3. MOORE.

leaving on the train for Pendleton and
now has my attention. In reply to your
request for personal friends to be permit
ted to interfere for the adjustment of q
personal matter between Hon. John B:
Moore and myself, growing out OF
speeches made at Flat Rock and a subse-

matter with any citizen, and desire moth,
ing more than an honorable settlement OF
the matter to which you refer. I have,
however, received no communication,
either verbal or written, from Maj.
Moore, since the meeting at Flat Rock,
and therefore could only say that if Maj.
Moore has any personal grievances
against me which it is desired to have
submitted for adjustment as yoa suggest,
I would be willing to refer the same to
friends for honorable settlement.

A Disastrous Fire.

The large and elegant residence of Mr..
w. II. B. Todd, situated on North Main
street, was destroyed by fire last Saturday
morning. The alarm was sounded a few
minutes after 8 o. M. o'clock, an hour
when everybody is wrapped in the deep
est slumber. Just before the alarm,
however, Maj A. S. Todd, who was
sleeping in the upper story of the house,
was awakened by the smoke in his room.
He arose from his bed, opened the blinds
and saw that the flames had almost en-
yeloped the one-story L, and were rapidly
consuming the weather-boarding of the
main house. The members of the house
hold were aroused and they hardly had
time to escape with their lives from the
burning building By this time the Fire
Company and considerable number of
citizens had reached the sceno, but the
flames had gained such headway that it
was impossible cto -extinguish them or
even save the furniture. They then di-
rected their attention to the protection of
the property around. The members of
the family saved only the clothing they
had on and three or four pieces of furni-
ture.. It is perhaps the most complete
confagration we have ever had in Ander-
son, and is heavy loss to the family. A
fine new piano and two gold watches
were destroyed. The building was new
and very substantial one, and cost about
$4,000. 1t was insured for $l,50O There
was no insurance on the furniture. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000 over and
above the insurance. 1t is believed that
the fire originated in the cellar under the
l., but as to what caused it will perhaps
ever remain mystery.
A little girl of Mr., Todd's was started
out with an elder brother, but got lost and
remained in the burning house. Maj. a.
s. Todd returned for her and was only
able to find her in the sitting smoke ny
her cries. AS he emerged with her from
the burning building, he was overcome
for some minutes by the effects of the
smoke. The family have tho sympathy
of the whole community in their misfor.

ANDERSON, -. O.3 Sept. Id, 1ooO.
GENTLEMEN The copy of Maj. John
B. Moore's reply to your request fol. an
him and myself is before me, and the
demand made upon me therein is noted.
I must respectfully decline to make any
partial submission of the matter to
friends, or to withdraw the article Of
which Maj. Moore complains. That arti-
Gle was predicated upon the speech made
by Mai. Moore in Flat Rock Church, in
which be made charges "ruinous to my
character as citizen and gentleman"
if permitted to 60 unanswered. He left
the Church Immediately upon making his
speech, so that he did not as far as I know,
hear my reply, and did not deem the
Church proper place in which to reply
as emphatically as I felt was proper under
the circumstances. He went to meet
ing at which was an invited speaker, and
so published, and at which he was not
published to speak; and having the first
speech, deliberately, after consultation, as
I am informed, proceeded without provo:
cation to denounce me as the Editor OF
coward if I submitted to it, for having
claimed to be the people, and as liar for
having said that the bill to submit the
question of prohibition to the people Of
Anderson County was introduced in the
Legislature in time to have passed, if
there had been no opposition to it. My
artic' simply characterizes his allega-
tions against me in the terms which he
used, and presents to the people certain
facts by which to test who is correct in
the charges which have been made. My
charges against Maj. Moore would not in
jure him to any greater extent than his
charges against me would injure me if
true. He gave the first offense, without
just provocation, in a Church, in the
presence of several hundred ladies and
gentlemen, and left the house immediate
ly. Then my article was predicated upon
that state of facts. In consequence of this
condition of things, cannot withdraw
the article of which Maj. Moore COM
plains.
Permit me to thank you for the interest
which you have manifested in this matter,
and to subscribe myself,
Yours, very truly,
E. B. MURRAY.

GENTLEMEN: Your note Of this day,
informing me that Maj. Murray declines
to withdraw the editorial referred to, the
truce to which assented on Friday even
ing last is at an end, and as Mr.. Murray
in that editorial has invited me to a per-
sonal contest, he shall have it to his
hearts content.
Your Obedient servant,
JOHN p. MOORE.
The above correspondence ended Tues
day afternoon. Upon the receipt of the
copy of Maj Moore's last communication
To the mutual friends, Mr.. Murray wrote
letter to his family at Pendleton, telling
them that he would not be up on the
evening train as expected, and about 4.45
Mr.. Murray left his Office, going down
the North side of the Court House square,
with the letter III his hand. He had re-
ceived caution from friend, but neg
lected to notify the friends who had been
consulting with him. Mr.. Murray had
received no communication of any kind
frcm Maj. Moore, except copies of the
communications to the mutual friends.
AS Mr.. Murray appeared on the square,
Mai. Moore left his Office, which is situat.
cd on the Southwest corner of the square,
and started in brisk pace across the
square towards Mr.. Murray, who had
reached about midway Of Main Street
where itintersects the square. Mr.. Muir.
ray saw him and halted. Maj. Moore
advanced with large stick i'll one hand
and pistol in the other. When he had
reached distance of some twenty-five or
thirty steps from Mr.. Murray. Chief Of
Police FAINT advanced with the intention
of arresting him, but as Mr.. Murray had
presented his pistol, ho did not make the
effort. Maj. Moore at the Same time lev
elled his pistol on Mr.. Murray and snap
ped it. After swapping his pistol, Maj.
Moore raised it again and fired. Mr..
Murray returned the fire, which was fol-
lowed by another shot from Maj. Moore,
who hold his fire and boro to his right.
Mr. Murray fired in rapid succession,
stepping back step or two at each shot
until his last one, when he ran few steps
towards Maj. Moore and fired. Mr.. Muir
ray then snapped his pistol, and having
exhausted his pistol, started towards
his Office, and just as he had passed the
entrance 10 Messrs. Simpson, Reid e. Cos.

exhausting his pistol. Maj. Moore was
