An Effective Telegram.

When Senator Depew was president
of the New York Central Railroad COM
pany he received a telegram which he
preserved for q number of years and
now and then showed to his friends,
says a reminiscent writer for the Wash
inCton Star. This telegram reached
him one fine morning a short time be-
fore Senator Plat was elected to the
United States senate for the second
time. 1t was sent from one Of the sta,
t!ons of the New York Central and
read:
Please stop the noon express here to
take on Mrs. Plat and ME- TOO.
It was a very unusual thing for that
train to stop at that particular station
but Mr.. Depew at once gave an order
to have it done.
This telegram was referred to in the
presence of Senator Plat on one occa'
sion.
"You see," said the senator, 81 want
ed that train to stop without the least
question of doubt. I knew that the
way to reach Depew's heart was will
a joke, and so sent that telegram "

People are very often proud Of the

surely few landed estates are so vaunt-

would be acknowledged: Cilley refused
to disclaim disrespect for Webb because
he does not wish to be drawn into any
controversy with him." Graves refused
to receive either statement as satisfactory
and there was another exchange of shots.
Wise asked for another conference, dur
ing which he said that Graves insisted
that he must defend the honor of his
friend Webb and that he has not borne
the note Of a man who is not a man Of
honor or a gentleman" Cilley would con-
coded nothing further, and on the third fire
he was MORALLY wounded, dying in few
minutes.
Many years afterwards Graves talked
with Judge Green Adams of Kentucky
about the duel In the conversation he
said both Clay and Crittenden were con-
suited in regard to it. Clay feared much
that Graves would be killed, as Cilley was
reputed to be fine shot with rifle, and
he devised this stratagem: AS the weather
was cold, Graves was to dress very warmly.
and the duel was to be delayed as long
as possible; the probability being that Gil
ley, being used to cold weather, would
not wear any heavier clothing than usual.
Graves said Clay's advice was followed,
and 1t is probable he Spoke the truth. The
conferences asked for by Wise seemed to
be for the purpose of settling the quarrel;
but It is almost certain that the real pur-
pose was to delay the firing. Graves and.
his friends were determined to make Cilley
acknowledge Webb was a gentleman and
man OF honor, or continue the duel until
the end. H. NJ. BEADLE.

I stated to you, and now repeat, that in

Graves again addressed Cilley, saying his
answer was 'inexplicit unsatisfactory and
insufficient in this, that in declining to re-
ceive Col. Webb's communication 1t does
not disclaim any exception to him person.
ally as a gentleman. I have, therefore, to
inquire whether you declined to receive
his communication on the ground Of any
personal exception to him as a gentleman
or a man Of honor?" Cilley answered, ex-
pressing regret that his note was unsatis-
factory, and closed by saying: II cannot
admit the right on your part to PROFOUND
the question to which you demand q cate
gorical answer, and therefore decline any
further response to It,"
After the first fire Wise asked for con-
ference. Graves had instructed him not
to consent to any settlement unless Cilley
admitted that he (Graves) had not carried
the note Of q man who was not a man Of
honor and not a gentleman. Wise asked
Jones to ''assign some reason or make
some disclaimer that would satisfy Graves
Jones submitted the following: That
when Cflley declined to receive Webb's note
he meant no disrespect to Graves. because
he entertained for him then. as he does
now, the highest respect and the most
kind feelings, but that he declined to re-
cetve Webb's note because he declined to
be drawn into any controversy with Webb"

The Graves-Cilley Duel.
, the Editor of The Evening Star


Mr.. w. Lee White, in his letter Of 18th
instant does not state correctly the location
of the grounds where this duel between two
representatives In Congress was fought
February "a. 1888. Col. Wright Rives Wis
tied the ground with Gen. Geo. w. Jones
and a son of Mr.. Cilley and he tells me
the duel was fought on the south side of
the Ridge road some two hundred yards
west of the Marlboro pike. near the foot
of the hill. Col RiveS statement is borne
out by the account of the duel published In
congressional documents.
Mr.. White also says that Cilley's friends,
after the first fire, urged him to withdraw
the offensive words" Mr.. Cilley had used
no offensive words, and therefore could not
withdraw them. The events leading up to
the duel were these: Henry A. Wise Of
fered resolution in the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes to Investigate the charge that a
writer in the New York Courier and En-
Quirer had made against some one con-
nected with Congress. and In his remarks
urging its adoption said that the editor of
that paper, who was Gen. James Watson
Webb vouched for the good character of
and said if the editor mentioned was the
same editor who had once made grave
charges against an institution of the coun-
try (meaning the U. s.. bank) and after
wards was said to have received money to
the amount Of $4,000 from the same insti-
tuition, and gave it his hearty support, he
did not think his charges entitled to much
credit in an American Congress" Graves
ley, and Cilley declined to receive it.
There was some conversation in re-
gard to the note. but it was not
put in writing. Graves afterwards con-
cluded that he ought to have Cilley's rea-
sons for declining to receive Webbs note
in writing. and addressed Cilley a note
stating that his understanding Of the
reason Cilley gave for declining to receive
Webb's note was "that you could not con-
sent to get yourself into personal difficult
ties with conductors Of public journals for
what you might think proper to say in
debate upon this floor In discharge Of your
duties as representative of the people.
and that you did not rest your OBJ
lection in our intercourse upon any
personal objections to Colonel Webb
