A DEADLY DUEL.
COnstabIes and Mountaineers Meet in the Road and Fight With Terrible Results.
 The Coroner's Verdict.

Charleston, s. C., June 2s-A special to the News and Courier from spartanburg, s. C., says: Last night a fight took place on the Howard Gap road, about five miles from here. The eonstables had heard that load of whisky was coming from the direction of Polk county Constable Eichelberger sent out Constables Petit grew of Fairfield, Teland and Byars of this county and a man by the name of Stevens to intercept the wagon. They met it in the road about five miles from town, not far from the scene of the recent Pissaby fight. The consta bles divided their forces and made the attack in front and rear One of them in front ordered a halt and surrender, stating that they were state officers Some one in the wag- on said "all right" but before they had time to dismount and deliver the wagon and contents a pistol was fired and Pet tisrew fell. The firing then became gen eral.
 When the smoke cleared away it was ascertained that Jack Fisher and Bill Durham of Tryon. N C., were killed Pettlgrew was severely wounded, with little chance of recovery. Toland was shot in the right breast. but fhe ball ranged around. and the wound is slight 1t is also said that a youth by the name of Brown a driver of the wagon was wounded One of the mules drawing the wagon was shot, and it is believed that he will die
 Stevens was left in charge of the wagon and whisky. Toland came on to town last night. Mark Durham, a brother of Bill Durham, is in town this morning. He was in the neighborhood at a private house. Fisher and Durham were shot in the wagon and fell back with their heads resting on a whisky barrel. There they were left to remain until the cor oner's jury arrived.
 The Fisher family is rather a promi- Physically they are fine specimens of mountain manhood. Durham was rel ative or special friend of the Fishers, and they could always count on him when they needed help. They had two barrels of whisky and perhaps more in the wagon. It is not known what the destination of the whisky was. No one from the city was mixed up with it in any way. It is said that Pettigrew can not live.
 The coroner's jury held an inquest and the verdict was that Fisher and Durham came to their deaths by gunshot wounds at the hands of parties unknown to the jury. The constables refused to give tes- timony and there were no other wit neSSeS.
 It is believed that Fisher and Durham did not fire at all. Their guns were all loaded and the testimony was that they were shot while lying down in the wagon.

For a Stay of Execution Seem to Be Fairly
 Good
 Washington June 2S.-Not word has been received at the office of the clerk of the supreme court of the United States relative to the trial of q motion of a writ in the case of pr. Buchanan, the wife poisoIier, and the subsequent appeal to the supreme court of the United States. as indicated in this mornings dispatches. 1t is stated, however, that the law gov Buchanan can get into the supreme court of the United States if the facts alleged to have taken place in Judge Lacombs court in New York are accurately re- ported. If that court entertained the mo- ton for the writ and acted upon 1t in any way. the right of appeal lies. and there is said to be no way of obviating the delay that will ensue. The supreme court will not again be in session until October next This mornings publica- tion caused some surprise among officials of the court, as it appears to be a con stant turning of the same judicial wheel in Buchanan's behalf It is understood that the justices of the federal courts in New York sometime ago agreed that they would not entertain these dila tory mo- tions and if this course had been fol- lowed no right of appeal would have 4c- crued. But if the circuit court had de- nied the motion the right of appeal lies absolutely and the supreme court will be required to pass upon the action of the court below.

=. Montgomery, June 2S.
 A large cortege of relatives and friends followed the remains of Mrs. J. s. Dow dell to their last resting place, in beauti- ful Oakwoed, this afternoon at o'clock.
 Mrs. Dowdell for some weeks has been lingering between life and death. and yesterday afternoon, surrounded by rela- tives, she quietly passed into the great unknown, leaving behind a devoted hus- band, three little children. several broth CTS and sisters and hundreds of devoted friends, who will never cease to love her memory, as a sweet, pure Christian, low ing wife, devoted mother and true friend.
 All of yesterday and until F o'clock to- day was consumed in the circuit court on the case of R. l.. Williamson, in a suit for $20,000 against the Western road an account of which appeared in the Age Herald.
 Judge Winter charged the jury at 12 today, and at S:3o verdict was reached giving Mr. Williamson $15,000.
 Mr- Williamson is a deserving young man and all his friends rejoice with him in obtaining the verdict, which partly compensates him for the loss of his hand.

In the stretch the latter came strong. and at the end Griffin was forced to ride a trifle to win.
 The other stake event was captured by Bright Phoebus At the start Mirage cut out the pace with Monooa, Bright Phoe- bus and Deer Slayer on even terms be- hind They ran that way to the head of the stretch. It was a very pretty race. but once strengthened out Bright Phoebus smothered his field and rushing to the front, won in a canter by three lengths from Mirage, who beat Monaco half a length.

APPLICATION DENIED.
The Electric Light Company Said to Be on a
 Paving Basis.

New Orleans, June 2S.-The applica- ton of the United Electric Securities company asking for a receiver for the Louisiana Electric Light company has occupied several days before Judge Par dee of the United States circuit court. All the arguments were concluded yes terday afternoon and today Judge Par dee rendered his decision. He denied the application for receiver. He stated that the appointment of a receiver at this time, with the heavy expense and loss of credit, would be a calamity to the com pany. The judge said the plant of the company Is worth $1,000.000, and their business is growing, and although it's revenues for the past eight months were hypothecated. the company could not be called insolvent. A large amount of bonds had been issued under circunr- stances which seemed to invite an inves- tigation, or which even might be classed as fraudulent
 The judge ordered that an injunction should be issued to preserve the present status of the company and to maintain the control of the court over the property until after the election of the next board of directors, in February 1896. The com pany is required to satisfy the Judgment of the Bass company for about $90,000 and to meet the payment of $5000 by the list or 10th of July, on coupons due the trust company.

A BRUTAL WRETCH
Taken From Sheriff by Enraged Citizens and
 Given Summary Punishment

New Orleans, June 2S.--Advices re- ceived today from Brookhaven, Lincoln county, Miss, state that about sixteen months ago a negro named Tom Bowen committed a criminal assault on blind lady living in the county, but for some reason the fact was not made known until recently. The negro was thereupon arrested and lodged in the county jail at Brookhaven on Saturday last.
 Yesterday the sheriff took the prisoner from iail in obedience to a summons of the justice of peace for the district where the assault was committed, to bring the accused before him for a thorough in- vestigation. On arriving at the place, about nine miles from BrookhaVen. where the trial was to be held today, the sheriff found a large crowd assembled. The facts disclosed in the trial before the justice established the negro's guilt be- yond a doubt. and he was removed to jail.
 Two of Bowens brothers testified that he had boasted to them that he had com mitted the assault. When the sheriff started with his prisoner for Brookflaven he was surrounded by an angry crowd, which demanded that the negro be sur rendered to them.
 The sheriff courageously declared he would defend the prisoner to the last ex- tremity, but he was immediately seized by number of men, while others dragged the negro away and hung him to limb, where he was left dead.
 A jury of inquest was empaneled by Coroner Phillips this morning and after Investigating the facts returned a yer dict that the negro came to his death at the hands of a mob, individual members of which were to the jury unknown.
 Sheriff McNair and the constable. who were summoned before the jury, did not witness the hanging, as it occurred about half mile from where Bowen was taken from their custody
