a Remarkable Duel ON Horseback With
Fatal ResuIts-The wife OF One or the
victims 8 Second Time Bereaved BY
yfolence-The Result of an Old Feud.
ALBANY, GA, January 2. =
News has Just reached here from Col
ouitt County of q duel on horseback, in
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 a regular duel 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
MIN 20 give up the HShC. just Nv Cuas
moment. q bullet 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
ter, brother of those who took part in
this encounter, was assassinatcd BY
Richard Baron, as he was returning home
one dark night. Alfred Carter's widow
subsequently married Wright Weekley,
much against the will of her late hus-
bands brothers, Elijah and Homer. They
have frequently attempted to draw the
lady's second husband into ambush, and
have at last succeeded in making her for
the second time a widow by numbering
her husband.

NEWARK, O., January 2.
The Bristol Tunnel on the Baltimore g.
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 B.
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 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 ap-
preached to learn the cause of it, / saw a
number of men. When demanded what
they were doing, / 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 l had reached the mouth of the tun-
mel. 1 then watched their movements,
and after short time 1 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 $50 Straitsville strikers. About
800 feet of the tunnel has cayed in, and
the fire is raging with increased fury.
The fiEemen 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

faoveruor Kinlxead Of Alaska Desires
Further Legislation for His Territory
Stewards Purchase Not Such q Terrfbi,
ssWhite Elephant" After All.
Boston, MASS, January 3.
A Washington special says: JONI
u. Kinkead, Governor of Alaska, is in the
city. In conversation yesterday Cover
nor Kinkead said that his mission here
is to lay before the President and Con
gress proofs of the necessity OF some
further legislation in regard to the Dis
trict of Alaska He said:
ssThere is great deal of legislation
necessary to make the organic law OF the
district effective. The act of Congress
providing civil government for Alaska
is very crude, and further enactments are
necessary to open up the territory and
develop its varied resources. The Ter
ritory comprises an area as large as all
the States east of the Mississippi. AT
present the only mode of travel is by wa
ter, and it is impossible to properly
carry on the civil government unless some
provision is made for the transportation
of the officers of the government of the
Territory"
The Governor expressed his confidence
that if proper facilities were afforded to
the civil government, Alaska. through its
rich mines, seal fisheries and timberlands,
would soon prove to be worth to the
United States many hundred times the
paltry sum paid for it.
Mr. Kinkead will have an interview
with the President and Secretary of the
Interior soon, and will lay before them
the needs of the Territory. He will ask
that a mail route be established, giving
semi-monthly communication with Port
Townsend, and that monthly mail serv-
ice be established between Sitka, the seat
of government, and Ounalaska, settle
ment 1900 miles west of Sitka, which
was made a judicial district with resi-.
dent Commissioner and Deputy Marshal.
1t at present has no direct communication
with the seat of government. He will
also ask that vessels be provided for the
purpose of transporting the officers OF
the civil government from one point to
another throughout the Territory.
Governor Kinkead will submit his first
annual report to the President in a few
days. 1t will give much valuable infor.
nation regarding the Territory and its re.
sources and requirements.
The report OF the Indian Commissions
will also soon be forthcoming. This re-
port will give details of the work of edu-
eating and Christianizing begun by the
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.
The Governor complains of the neglect
OF the Acknowledgement to comply with
the provisions of the organic act requiring
him to compile and publish and furnish
the officers of the Territory with SO much
of the general laws of the United States
as is applicable to their duties.

PHILADRLPHIA, PA, January
A special from Wilmington, Del, says:
On New Years eve two burglars entered
the house Of widow named Rooney in
Wilmington for the purpose Of stealing
$4,000, which they heard she. had just
received. Not being able to find the
money and thinking it hidden In the
house, the villains badly beat her and
subjected her to fendish cruelties.
After being given $500 they departed.
Mrs. Rooney is very old and intirm, and
the rough treatment she received will
probably result fatally.

the leasing of Indian lands for grazing
purposes can not develop anything not ale

they deemed it best for their interests.
Secretary Joslyn added that he regarded
this plan OF leasing the lands for grazing
purposes as advantageous to the Indians.
