thirty-minute speeches, two on a side. Mr..
Shannon, who championed free trade. having the
opening. and Mr.. Magic, for protection, bring
Ing up the rear. The meeting was presided
over by j. Adam Bede, and in spite of the
heat the large audience, consisting partly Of
ladies, gave the closet attention during the two
hours debate, being moved to frequent rounds
OF applause. Both speakers were loaded for
bear and brought down a good deal of game
The debate would have done credit to the halls
Of Congress. Maj Magic is one of the most
logical campaigners in the republican party

MIR. DEPEW DECLINED.
He Will Not be President of the Chicago
Fair Commission.

1t leaked out at worlds fair headquarters in
Chicago Saturday that Chauncey NJ. Depew
had positively declined to allow his name to go
before the national commissioners as a candi-
date for the presidency of that body. He gave
as reason that his business interests would
not allow him to serve in that capacity. He
has written letter indorsing c. d. Norton OF
New York for the position of secretary.
But politics has been instrumental in arrang-
ing slate which leaves Mr.. Norton out. 1t
was felt by those co mmissioners who have been
consulted that the two chief offices should be
filled by men of opposite political faith. As
the republicans are in power the de mocrats
conceded the presidency to them and ex-Sena-
tor Thomas W. Palmer OF Michigan has the
best chance of being elected to that Office.
The democrats have selected the Hon. John T.
Dickinson Of Texas as their representative to
be elected secretary of the national commits
sion. 1t is given out that Z. T. Jeffery will
probably be made director general.

Two Former Friends to Meet on q
Duelling Field.

Social circles in Jacksonville, Ind, were
startled last week by the rumor of a proposed
duel between two prominent and popular
young men-Wilbur Wing and Charlie Benson
The stories of the quarrel which led up to the
dueling point in some respects are widely diff
ferent The name of a beautiful society leader
was first used in connection with the affair
Now friends and acquaintance of both Wing
and Benson Indignantly deny this portion of
the rumor. Wiser opinions trace the differ
ence between the young men to another source
Ying and Benson have been on bad terms for
some time Their business relations were
strained and their intimates declare that dis
pute about money, debts that mutually existed,
really occasioned the quarrel. Benson met
Iing near the post office Saturday morning and
the encounter was punctuated by some ex-
tremely bitter words. Benson is said to have
precipitated matters by calling his former
friend a liar, receiving an equally angry retort
in turn. When the parties separated it was
understood that a duel to the death should be
fought that afternoon. The police have been
notified, but no arrests have yet been made.

ANOTHER VICTORY,
The washingtons Win From the VIII
mingtons.

The soil at Atlantic Park was too soft Satur-
day afternoon for a game and so the contest
scheduled for that day between the Senators
and the tail enders had to be postponed The
two teams played at the Driving Park, near
Alexandria, however, yesterday, Washington
winning by the score Of IA to L. Anderson and
Corcoran and Daniels and Nicholas were the
batteries. Anderson far from being the
terror that reputation has painted him. bein &
wild and easily hit. Every man on the home
team hit safely at least once. The fielding was
good considering the grounds, which have not
been repaired vet. Bird played second Wash
ington made IL hits and 4 errors and Whining
ton hits and errors
OTHER GAMES.
Barnie had a game yesterday near Baltimore
without interference. The Jersey City team
was defeated by the score of 10 to 2. Baker and
Tate and Fitzgerald and Murphy we're the bat
teries Baltimore made hits and 4 errors,
and Jersey City hits and errors.
Newark demolished Hartford IL to 0. The

NOTES
There will be base ball all this week at At
lantic Park.
The Senators are having hard pull to reach
fourth place. Newark wins whenever they do.
President Braden is thus quoted: The
pennant of the association, in my opin-
ion. will go to Baltimore. Worcester or
Newark. New Haven has good team,
but not as strong as many persons sup
pose. When Newarks pitchers get all right
again some of the clubs which are leading now
will have to look out The Washington team,
with few changes. will make a frst-class Or
ganization. Our own team Jersey City, may
also create some surprise later on, ss We have
had bad luck to contend with"
The Atlantic race now stands thus:

Correspondence of The EVENING STAR
RocKvrLLE, June q, 1890.
Advices from that portion Of the county ad-
jacent to the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal represent that the people in that section
are alive to the necessity of securing railroad
for the transportation of their crops and that
the meeting to be held at this place July will
be largely attended by those interested. 1t is q
question with the people along the line why,
in view of the vast advantages to be derived by
the business men Of Georgetown and the Dis
trict generally, meeting has not been called
to give at least their popular support to the
enterprise. 1t is represented here that the meet.
ings for that purpose to be held in the counties
bordering on the upper Potomac will be well
attended and that the people of western Mary
land are thoroughly in earnest in regard to the
work that will in short time develop the
magnificent resources of western Maryland and
pour into the lap of the capital city the untold
treasures of the Aleghanies.
The great heat OF the past two weeks has had
somewhat depressing effect on sales of real

improvements. about three miles from this

Messrs. Austin Herr and Geo. W. Cissell Of
