finishing with very graceful gable extending
to the top Of the high tiled roofs. The interiors

as 1t does, back far enough to give an entrance
hall in the front and . private communication
with the upper floors at the same time, making
an effective view from the entrance hall.

MRS. HARRISON AT CHARLESTON,
An Eloquent and Patriotic Tribute to
the Pr esident's Wife.

The presidential party reached Charleston,
&C., shortly after IL am. yesterday. They
were met at the station by the mayor Of the
city, the collector Of the port, the postmaster
and q committee Of distinguished citizens and
escorted to their hotel. The city was profusely
decorated. The visitors were taken to Fort
Sumter and shown around the harbor. In the
aftern DON they were driven around the city,
and last night Mrs. Harrison and her friends
had reception which was attended by the
elite Of the city. Later in the night the
visitors were serenaded by the Vanderbilt
benevolent society, Of which President Hsrri-
son is an honorary member.
The Ne,os and Courier said editorialIy this
morning: "The people Of Charleston who had
the pleasure OF meeting the Presidents wife
yesterday were very much charmed by her
gracious presence and gentle dignity. The
the distinguished visitors saw Charleston under
the most favorable conditions The regret is
very general that they could not remain with
Us longer and the hope 10 earnestly expressed
that they will all come back again. The recep-
ton extended to the visitors was q simple a
was perfect in all its arrangements. There
was no elaborate banquet nor any speech max.

things our guests have long since grown weary
but there was the genial glow Of sincere hospi-

ever the most charming attendant Of
. heartfelt welcome. Thank heaven there
was no politics ION this auspicious
OCCASION and for one day there was q
truce to the bitterness Of party strife and
to the unchristian manifestation Of sectional
feeling. The old flag floats over us all-the
flag that was planted upon the ramparts OF
Chepultepec by South Carolins soldier; the
dag under whose folds BENJAMIN Harrison foneht
during the war between the states; the Gag which
now floats proudly over the Capitol at Wash

WHEELING, April Rudolph Hicks
and William Burke. society young men in
Wheeling. fought a duel at daylight this
morning, three miles east OF the city Oh. the
National road. No blood was shed, owing
to the precaution taken by the seconds 10
remote the bullets from the cartridge s..
The trouble grew out of an insult offered
Burke by Hicks at the home of lady
friend few days ago Burke is noted for
his correct dress and excessive politeness,
and has become a butt fer the jokes OF
Hicks and a few friends. Thinking to hui
initiate him after the episode az the lady's
house, Hicks sent Burke challenge to
fight To his great surprise Burke instantly
accepted named swords, and sent friend
to call on Hicks second. This was good
deal more than Hicks baI.gained for, and
the services of Howard Simpson were
sought. He succeeded in having the
weapons changed to revolvers, and on the
way to the ground extracted the balls from
the cartridges. Hicks became aware of tins,
but Burke did not, and made all his ar
engagements for possible fatal results. On
the ground, however, Burke fired in the AIR,
and then stood to receive the point blank
fire of his opponent, repeating this on the
second fire. The principals then shook
hands and returned to the city.
