BLOOD ON THE MOON.
ApprehensiOns Of a Physical Encounter Be-
I tween Frank Lawler and Capt. Pinerty.

CHICAGO. Aug. II.-There is every indica-
ton that the rival Irish picnics may result
in serious complications between the re-
spective leaders. Congressman Frank Law
Ter, in his speech at the Cheltenham Beach
Cronin demonstration. denounced ex-Con-
gresham John F. Finerty, of the Triangle
faction" as a liar. coward and poltroon.
Mr.. Finerty's friends yesterday digested
this charge with great deliberation. They
agreed that the charge was, considering all
the circumstances. somewhat uncalled for,
and unless retracted would have to be re-
called through the Intervention of friends
of both parties or fought out. As is well
known. Captain Finerty is a man
of war, having been prominent in a
military capacity IN the Fenian movement
directed from Niagara, also having won
recognition in the civil war. He was with
General Butler at New Orleans, and was
also the only Northern man who dared. in
public, to express his opinions. In 1873, in
the campaign against the Modocs, Colonel
f1nerty took his carbine and rode ahead of
the troops into the lava beds. His bravery
was then hera.ded throughout the county.
Congressman Lawler is equally nctedfor
never having turned his back to a foe. The
serious nature of the differences between
the two distinguished representatives of
fVt AAtA1 "a VIZ AAAoA AAAh II
fore be readily understood. Captain Finerty
was yesterday IN the hands OF his friends.
He kept retired, and was disinclined TO
talk.
Congressman Lawler, on the other baud,
was about the city, as if nothing had oc-
Cured, while representatives of the ''Tri-
angle" and friends of the Cronin
prosecution committee stood about
and talked the matter over with
al OminOus air of seriousness.
Congressman Lawler made light of the
affair, and showed himself in downtown
public places. Last evening he put in an
appearance at the Grand Pacific with a
number of friends, and when asked if the
charges made by him against Captain
Finerty were made deliberately and in
good faith, he responded: IL have nothing
to take back. / denounced Finerty as II
liar. p%oltroon and coward. i am in no fear
of the consequences"
Mr.. Lawler was reminded that Captain
Finerty was an athlete, a man of known
bravery and a fighter.
Il have not met Captain Finerty to-day.
and have no fear of any personal eonse-
quences for my remarks replied Mr..
LAWYER. Il have no body-guard, like
Justice Field, and see no reason why I
should arm myself and hunt for Mr..
Finerty or provide against his possible at
tack. Having expressed NY opinion of Mr..
Finerty, l do not hin he will provoke an
encounter"

A Talk with the Only Surviving Participant
In the Famous Duel. Col. Joe McKibben.
WASHINGTON, August 17.-COl. Joe Nc
Kibben. the only survivor of the Broderick-
Terry duel, is at present one of the owners
of the steamer COrcoran and half prOprie-
tor of Marshall Hail, the river resort on the
Potomac. His country-seat is about fifteen
miles from the city proper and is only
accessible by the river steamer. 1t was not
until the telegraphic particulars of the
killing of Judge Terry reached the city
yesterday that it was known that Col. Nc
Kibben was one of the seconds in that
famous duel. He was seen at his country
place last evening and his attention was
called to the terrible fate that had over
taken Judge Terry.
Yes; l knew Terry, and a Drawer man
never drew the breath of life." he said.

the second of the latter. There
never was a duel fought fairer
or squarer. BrOderick had as many
friends present as Terry. and while the re-
pal, l can say nothing against Terry. l
know it has been charged that Terry fired
before the word was given, but this don't

who was present at that duel.
I'm regard to the killing of Judge Terry
by Marshal Maggie. / certainly think that he
exceeded his authority. No man has a
right to go around with a revolver ready TO
kill his feIlow-man. That was necessary in
days of the 40 boys. when q fellOw'sslife
was in his hands. Things have changed
now, and civilization has changed the
ann of living. No matter what people
may say about Terry, no one can question
his courage. He has. proved that over and
over again. While he was a thorn in the
sides of q great many Californians, he was

count / do not think that Nagle had any
