THE uIB,RD-FLoOD AFFAIR.
Both Gentlemen Put Under Bonus
by judge Moss.

BUCKINGHAM COURTHOUSE, NNL
January l4.-(SpccialD-There was more
or less excitement here early yesterday
morning over the expected trouble De-
tween Colonel X. T. HUBBARD and Hon. H.
ID. Flood. ana the first thing Judge Moss
did when he went upon the D-nch was
TO put each OF these gentlemen uhuer
peace-bond. in the penalty OF ><"v'
Colonel HUBBARD read from newspaper
nuhlication Of his 10 show that he did
NOT intend TO attack Mr.. Flood for the
sneecb delivered in the Senate unih
after his memorial was disposed or by
the Senate.
Mr. Flood stated that lac had no inten-
tion of committing a breach of the peace
AGAINST Colonel Hubbard. except by simply
repellng any attack upon himself. me
Ipdee mtimated that, Notwithstanding
this. he would put them both under
bond.
COLONEL HUBARD'S STATEMENT.
Colonel HUBBARD then stated that he had
received a letter from friend, suggest
ing a submission Of the matter 10 friends
of the two parties: that his friends had
stated that Mr. Flood was willing for
such a course; that he had replied 80 tins
friend stating that he would agree to
his suggestion on certain conditions, one
OF which was not compiled with. but that
Notwithstanding this. he had decided
after consultation with friends, not 10
attack Mr. Flood to-day. and. therefore
he saw no occasion for a bond. as the
matter might be adjusted.
MR.. FLOOD PROTESTS.
Mr.. Flood said that General hundley
haa approach D him and asked him II
he would regard it as an act of I'M
warrantable interference If he attempted
an adjustment Of the matter; that ne
had told General Hundley he would not
that on Saturday General Huncley had
told him of the letter received from
Colonel Hubbard. and the condition-which
he could not and aid not comply Without
he did not Think he should BE- put under
bond The Court. however, decided other
wise. and the bonds were soon executed
IL is understood here that the condition
Colonel HUBBARD made in his Letter TO
General Hundley was that Mr.. Flood
should not attend Buckingham court
Monday.
1t was a source Of general satisiac-
ton on the court-green that the affair
took the turn it did, as both gentlemen
possess undoubted courage, and hostile
meeting between them would have been
very serious. Now Il IS hoped and be-
Meved here that the trouble can and
will be adjusted.

street
"All right" said the other, but have
the drink with me- Last night ] had no
thing. and tonight / have SO" The fact
that the amount named was exactly the
amount the Philadelphia man had lost at
tracted his notice, and he turned around
TO see who was talking. He recognized
the speaker as a man he had known IN
Philadelphia. Stepping aside he let the
two pass. and followed them into the
Csty Hotel bar-room. Stepping up To- the
man who said he had SO, he said:
you nave my pocket-book, and you
