News has just reached here from Col"
quit County of a duel on horseback, ins
which one of the combatants was shot
dead, and another was mortallY wound
ed. There had been reception at the
house of Mr.. Lake, at which the leading
families of the county were present.
About midnight several of the guests.
were mounting their horses for the pur-.
pose Of returning to their respective.
homes. Among the number were Homer
and Elijah Carter and two Chastain broth
ers. AS they rode by, Wright Weekly,
who was in the act of mounting, cursed
at them and threatened to follow up and
shoot it out. Putting spurs to their
horses, the young men challenged him to
follow. In an instant Weekly was upon
his horse, and fired pistol shot after the
party as he pursued them. The
four men Immediately returned the fire,
and regular dCsEl on horseback in the
dark took place, the location of the COM
batants being marked by pistol flashes.
Weekly's brother rode up to him, and
grasping the reins of his bride begged.

moment bulleS sped through Wright's
brain, and his horse turning bore his dead
rider back to the door of the house from
which the guests had been watching the
deadly encounter. The Carter party rode
off one of them, it is said, mortally
wounded.
This tragedy grew out of one equally
as bloody. Some years ago Alfred Car

this encounter, was assassinated by
Richard Baron, as he was returning home
one dark night. Alfred Carter's widow
married Wright Weekley,
much against the will of her late hus-

lady's second husband into ambush, and
have at last succeeded in making her for

A TOWN ISOLATED

BY the Destruction of a Railway Tunnel in

chief
NEWARK, O., January2.
The Bristol Tunnel on the Baltimore Sc,
Ohio Railroad, three miles from Junction
City, is on fire. A fire engine from this
city has gone to the scene of the confia-
grafton. All trains are delayed.
SHAWNEE. O., January 3.
The tunnel is on the branch Of the
Baltimore s Ohio that runs about fifteen
miles due southwark from Junction City
to tap the coal region at Shawnee. The
tunnel, which is several hundred feet
long, leads the road through the heart of
one of the rugged hills with which this coal
and mineral region of Ohio abounds.
There is a vein of coal in the tunnel it
self, and that feeds the fury of the flames.
The tunnel Waterman gives the following
account of the discovery of the fire:
81 heard noise in the tunnel. As I ap-
preached to learn the cause of it, saw O.
number of men. When demanded what
they were doing, I heard one of them
say: Let him have it, The voices
came from the dark cavern, and the COM
mand was followed by a shot at my
lantern. After heard the bullets whiz-.
zing past me, thought it time to get out
of danger. They kept up their fusilade
until had reached the mouth of the tun-
nell I then watched their movements,
and after short time I heard deafen-
ing explosion. | then gave the alarm.''
From other sources it was learned that
the burning of the tunnel was the work
of about I50 Straitsville strikers. About
300 feet of the tunnel has caved in, and
the fire is raging with increased fury.
The fremen can not reach the flames, and
it now appears that the fire can not be ex-
tinguished till the entire tunnel shall have
been ruined. This WILL cut off Shawnee
from all railroad connection with the out
side world.

crowd was pushed back still farther to give ample
room to the friends who were assigned to the side
of the grave which the column approached. This
order was cheerfully obeyed when Mrs Hendricks,
leaning upon the arm of Mr.. Morgan, stepped upon
the mating placed alongside the grave, and before
the casket was removed from the hearse, she
paused to look down into the last resting place of
the dead only to picture of loneliness in its
lining of green leaves and flowers. Then she
turned to the grave of her child which had been
made glorious with covering of smilax and flow
ers, and read in letters of white his baby name
'Morgie,' and on the top of the grove, on field
of white in purple letters, the sentence
''And a three-fold cord shall not be
broken" The tender love which she discerned in
this treatment of her treasure by sympathetic
friends seemed to give her courage for
THE LAST ORDEAL.
Her glance then caught the monument with its
drapery of the national flag, envelOping hfe-llke
portrait of her husband. Facing the grave, she
turned with the bravery of heroism to witness the
last rites. There had been no rainfall for brief
period, but the sky lowering. Just as the cot
fin was placed beside the grave there was slight
falling of rain causing many to recall the old
saying 'blessed are the dead whom the rain falls
on"
The Columbus Barracks band, at this point,
played the American hymn and the services fol
lowed. Mrs. Hendricks only leaned more heavily
upon Mr. Morgan, resting her head at last upon his
shoulder, but her self control was maintained
while the service was read. The congressional
committee, the members of the cabinet and other
distinguished visitors stood upon the other side of
the grave. The words of the clergyman were now
and then drowned by the sound OF the minute
gun which kept firing until after
the interment was over. When the coffin had been
lowered into the vault by the four colored assist
ants of the undertaken and there was nothing re-
naming to be done but the placing of the stone
and the filling of the grave, which was to be at
tended to by the cemetery force, there was a mo-
ute gun. Then Mrs. Hendricks and the friends of
the family passed by the still open, but not repel-
liant grave, and took their carriages. The people,
who had waited respectfully, then iocked to the
grave to get nearer view. The military order
FORWARD, MARcH
started the soldiers homeward. The carriages rap
idly rolled away, and the distinguished dead was
left alone.
