RiddIcbercer and wiss's Duel.

Sons years ago George d. Wise, now
one OF the Virginia representatives in the
house, playfuyy called Riddleberger n
blanked liar In the columns OF a Rich
mond newspaper, and Riddleberger
straightaway sent a challenge. To show
the bloodthirstiness Of the man when
angered, he sent challenge to Editor
Beirne that same day, and he arranged to
fsht the two duels on the same afternoon.
Wise chose pistols for weapons, and the
meeting was at ( O'Clock p. m, in a
clump Of woods a few miles from Rich
mond. and so near the residence OF the
Judge OF the county that he could hear
the shots.
At the first fire Wise's pistol did not 90
off, and Riddleberger's ball flew wide OF
the mark. Wise then handed his pistol
TO his second and told him there was
something the matter with It, The ball
was drawn, the pistols reloaded and the
combatants took "A second fire. At th.j
time Wise's ball cut Riddlebyger's coat
tail. but Riddleberger's shot again wasted
itself on the air Riddleberger reached
down his hand and looked at the place
where the ball had gone through his $40
coat lie then raised his hand aud
scratched his head He was evidently
annoyed He thought a moment still
scratching, and then, to Wise's surprise,
he seized the pistol 10y the barrel aud
threw it as far rs he could into the bushes
lie then threw out both arms, and walk
ing half ways toward Wise, held out his
hand and intimated that he thought they
had better settle the matter i'm other ways.
Wise replied that he had nothing to com
plain Of and, II Riddleberger was satisfied,
he was. and so the duel ended Frank q.

The meeting OF citizens last night gave
such an intelligent and just expression OF
opinion on the subject of compulsory
pilotage that ii ought to settle the matter
before the Legislature, and relieve the
State from the further burdens Of an un
fair law. All determinations are unfair
and should be avoided strictly. The law
requiring "A vessel to take a pilot upon the
principle that she il not safe without one
and then allowing an association OF
an individual 10 speculate on the
application of the law by selling i'm
munities from its operation is not only
unjust but it is infamous.
There is political feature to this ques
tion which it may be worth while to loob
at, and that is the responsibility of tht
majority in the Legislature for all meas
ures that have popular interest.
The views of the business men Of Rich
mond, Danville, and Petersburg, as ex-
pressed by the Chambers of Commerce o.
these cities at the mass meeting, held las
evening in the Young Mems Association
Hall, give forth no uncertain sound as Il
their feelings on this subject. The pro
ceedings of that meeting, and the resolu
lions adopted without dissenting voice
are elsewhere published, and will well re
pay perusal.

Lord Randolph Churchill, in address
ing the Oxford Union Society, reminded
his hearers how marvelously Lord Hart
iDgton's prophecy on the occasion of Mr..
Butts introduction OF home rule pro-
posal in Parliament had been fulfilled.
That prophecy was that any coquetting
with the question by English members
would lead to disruption and the loss OF
more support from England and Scotland
than they could ever hope to obtain from
Ireland.
The chances OF home rule being car.
ried. however, were microscopical. The
present Parliament was likely to last
until 1893. Between now and then many
things might happen. The Irish party
would probably go TO pieces Where
would il be without Mr.. Gladstone's ora.

confidence sometimes count for IS much

The place of meeting is of secondary
importance. The advantages of New
York were rs strongly presented by Mr..
Cox as they possibly could be, and yet
the metropolis received only two votes
on two of the ten ballots. New York
does not need the convention half so
much as the convention and the party
will need New York. 1t would be a
second mistake to select San Francisco.
At any of the other cities named the con.

was too great and a way was forced
through all about the head. The gas
came out in a heavy white fog permeated
with oil and settling upon the fields,
orchards, and growing corn within half
a mile. Farmers became frightened at
their danger from explosion, and wives
would light no fires. The gas comes out
with a sullen roar, which may be heard
several miles, and a thick gas fog en-
yelops the derrick and the farms within
half a mile of the well.
Until the last few,days the only alarm
felt was the natural fear of an explosion.
But in the last few days among the many
who have been to see the well are those
who advanced the theory that the great
volume of gas fog was due to the pres
ence of subterranean fires, maintaining
that no other cause could produce such
u phenomenon. Farmers claim their
crops and fruit are ruined by the gas fog
which has settled upon them.
