FIGHTING ovER A CoLoRED NAN.
three white Men KILLED.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. Z, 1890.
The election day duel in Estill
County, of which only meager mem
ton was made in "The Press
dispatches of Wednesday, turns out
to have been one of the most desper-
ate encounters ever witnessed in
Kentucky. Irvine, the county seat
OF EstiIl County, is backwood
town, almost cut of from the rest OF
the world.
The principals engaged were DR..
p. A Lilly, prominent young ply
sician of the town, son OF Judge
II. Clay Lilly, on the one side, and
John Wilson, Commissioner of
Schools in Estill, ON the other side.
Lilly was Republican and Wilson
a Democrat Lilly brought up a
olorsd man to the polls TO vote
him. whereupon, Wilson challenged
yhis right to csst n ballot. The
judges ofelection conceded with Will
son and the eolored man was reject
ed. This angered Lilly and hot
words ensued between him and Will
son, resulting in the drawing of
pistols by both.
Lilly got his weapon out readily
while Wilson's hung in bis hip pccA-
81 and was accidentally discharged
before he could level it. Inthemean-
time be received two balls from his
antaeOnist's pistol, both lodging
near the heart. The wounds, how
ever were not Immediately fatal and
the combat continued.
Wilson got his weapon free, and
fire;5 two shots, one of which stRnck
IIux Near the heart. About this
time Wilson's brother interierred
and sueeaaded in wrestling Lilly's
weapon from his hand. Nothing
dannted. however, and almost in the
throes OF death. he drew bus knife
and made several fatal stabs ia lis
enemy's body.
Both fell to the ground. but, with
his last ebbing strength, Wilson
raised himself and fred the last load
Ga his pistol at Grant Lilly, a broth
er of DF. Lilly, who had appeared on
the scene. sndicting a dangerous
wound. from which he afterwards
died. Not satisfied with this Wilson
ernWled over to where his antagOn-
fst had fallen and buried the ham-
meF of his pistol in his head. Lilly
died In q few minutes. whilst Wilson
fingered nntii the next day at noon.
Three others were also shot dur
fn9 the melee, but were not seriously
hart.
All parties GO the difficulty were

Judge Lilly has gained a national
reputation by trying the psSuntain

A Big Baptizlng Occurrences around
Sal m Briefly told.


SALEM, Va, Nov 10, 1890.
Dear PLANET:
Sunday evening at 100 about
1900 or 1000 people, some stand
Ing on the bridge that spans the riv-
err Others in vehicles, while some
found comfortable sitting within the
bOughs Of the trees, that leaned far
over the stream to witness one of
the most creditabie baptigings that
has ever been in this section of the
state. The candidates seemed to
have been inspired with the words of
the Master "Suffer it to be SO John
for thus it becometh us TO fulfill all
righteousness, and they marched
h4idlY into the silvery stream, that
waited foP no one bpt had nought
to do but flow on to the "nld
ocean"
The Elder, B. F.. Fox seemed to
have been at his pest, and in glow
Ing terms depicted the great COM
mand that Christ had given bis dis
eipies while on earth, which should
be strictly obeyed now, and by gem
erations yet unborn. He concluded
his remarks in the water. The candi-
dates marched boldly into the peace
full stream, while Brother Sawney
Glonders lined the beautiful Hymn,
NAm ] Soldier of the Cross, amid
the sabs and tears Of old aged faith
ePs and mothers, who have LETT their
several homes, and who seemed to be
looking the last time upon the vat
ers of the beautiful Roanoke, y and
they would remark shat the Lord
has spared us to gaze once more
upon our sons and daughters" as
they are being immersed beneath
the silver waves of the stream, and
would rise exclaiming "got on the
whole aPm0p,' nThank God " it was
a blessed sight and the speeta,
tors could hardly restrain from
tears. The baptizing was the fruit
of Rev. Mr.. Presley's labor during
bis stay in the Getty of Peace
we hopehs win return in the near fut-
are. Salem is especially fortunate
In having snch an able Tnan as Rev
B. F. Fox to All the Baptist pulpit.

"You would be surpri sed," said the
guard in the Presid nt's room at the
capitol, ''to know how often visitors
come in here, and after looking around
at the general effect of the furnishings
and decorations, which, you observe, are
red, ask:
"'And where can we find the Blue
Room we have heard so much about"
"They have mixed up the capitol and
the White House in their minds, OF
course Constantly people inquire of me
where the Presidents living quarters
are-whe ther at this end of the capitol
or at the other"
Are people permitted to come into
the Presidents room sit down, and stay
as long as they like?" asked the reporter.
"Most emphatically not. The room
would be used as sort of club by the
loungers of the capitol if we permitted
any thing of that sort. The time al
lowed people to stay is five minutes. II
sitors overstay that limit they are pO-
litely requested to leave Why, have
known country folks to come here and

ton of eating it upon the center table
or of picknicking on the sofas. Such
persons are apt to think it an outrage
that they should not be allowed SO
trifing an accommodation. This is the
most comfortable room in the capitol
and it is not surprising that people
should want TO take rest here incident
ally to the fatigue of sightseeing. We
have to devote our attention chiefly tC
rcpressing visitors of the sort ! speak OF
and to looking out for vandals, who
want to cut the tassels off the chairs for
mementoes, to take slices out of the
sofas for the same purpose or to snip
pieces off the curtains to remember the
