Many in New Rochelle had never

chief features of the story, and some
did not know that Mrs Wallace Hunt

old. he thought but would not say
anything more, as he had been forbid

Possibly one of the most dramatic
incidents Of the Cleveland Blaine cam
paign, growing out of the Maria Hal
pin charges. was in Brooklyn. where
she was born Maria Hoverton, as it
was stated in New Rochelle yesterday.
.
Henry Ward Beecher, advoca ting the
election of Mr.. Cleveland, read the
presidential candidates letter to Mrs.
Beecher denying the charges of i'm
morality in Buffalo and Albany. and
then said: When, in the gloomy night

owner went in another. As a result of

was rated an expert pistol shot. which
Potter learned, and when the seconds
of the Virginian called on Potter to
ascertain what weapons he desired. he
promptly said bowie knives. Before
the critical moment arrived when the
two men would face each other on the
field Of honor, PryOr's seconds called
the duel off. declaring they could not
consent to let their principal fight with
such a baTbarous weapon.
