TNNQCENTLY CAUSED a duel. rs . Haxall’e Death Recalls tb® Fight Between McCarty and Morjlecal. From the Sew York Herald. Richmond, Va., April 3.—Mr. Philip Haxsll died in this city this morning. Bbe w(vS . before her marriage, Mia? Mary Trip lett, reigning bell in Virginia in the early 70s, sad was innocently tha oause of the bloodiest duel of modern times in this state _tbst between Pago McCarty and John p Mordecai— which was fought in May, ]S7.S, and which resulted in the death of Mordecai and tde desperate wounding of McCarty. McCarty had been engaged to Miss Trip lett, but *he engagement had been broken off.'in February, 1873, a german was given br tbe Richmond Club, one of the roost ex elusive social organizations in the city. McCarty and hi 9 former fiancee were placed vis-a-vis in one of the figures, and ns the only alternatives were for them to make a scene or danee, they danced. There was some talk about the matter among their friends, which was increased wbea a few days later there appeared in one of the local papers the following: THE FIRST FIGURE IN THE GERMAN. We have received for publication the follow lug poem. A loving swain, who, doubtless, has been kioked by his sweetheart : When Mary’s queenly form I press. In strauss’ latest waltz. I would as well her lips caress. Although those lips oe false. For still with fire Love tipa his darts, And kindles up anew The flame which once consumed my heart— When those dear lips were true. Of form so fair, of faith so faint. If truth were only in her. Though she’d been the sweetest saint, I'd still feel like a sinner. MORDECAI’s DENUNCIATION. In discussing this effusion at the Rich mond Club the suggestion was made that McCarty was the author and that be re ferred to Miss Triplett. Mordecai said that If this was the case the author was “a paltroon, a coward and a scoundrel.” It was not for several days that this re mark reached McCarty’s ears, and then it was coupled with reflections on his oourage in not having takeD it up sooner. He at once sent a note to Mordecai, an nouncing that bo was the author of the poem, that there was no intention in it to reflect on Miss Triplett and demanding a re traction of the offensive remark. The retraction was not forthcoming and arrangements were made for a duel. The polioe got wind of the affair, however, the principals were arrested and finally a court of honor drew up a ‘‘cartel of truce,” which both men signed, agreeing to let the matter rest and providing that under do circum stances should either man speak to or in any way recognize the other. I'hey lived up to the cartel until May 5. On that day McCarty was in the billiard room of the club houso playing billiards with a friend. The subjeot of his trouble with Mordecai oame up and ho said that there had been a good deal of gossip about the affair, that his courage had been ques tioned, and that in future he should hold to a strict accountability anybody who trifled with nis good name. I AM A GENTLEMAN. ■While he was talking Mordecai oame into the room. He overheard a part of Mo- Cartv's remarks, and, walking up to him, asked: “Are those remarks meant for me, sir?" “And who are you, sir?” asked McCarty, sneeringly. “I’m a gentleman, sir,” came the answer, la a voice trembling with passion. "Ah!” returned McCarty contemptu ously. The insulting tone was too much for Mordecai, and he floored MoCarty with a heavy blow in the face. He was a much heavier man than his opponent, and in the fight which followed McCarty got much the worst of it. and was so badly used up that he was confined to his bed for several days. B >tli men came of fightong stock, were in the highest class of Virginia, and after such an affair a duel was absolutely necessary in toe then oondition of Richmond society. While be was confined to his room Mc- Carty expressed to his mother the fear that bis friends might not be willing to carry his challenge. “Do not let that worry you, my son,” said the Virginia matron. “If they will not carry it I will.” This was not necessary, however, for when Col. W. B. Tabb was called in bo readily agreed to undertake to arrange for the meeting on behalf of McCarty. John S. Meredith was associated with him, and William R. Royeli aud VV. R. Trigg acted in behalf of Mordecai. The ground chosen was near Oakwood cemetery, aod the men were to fight with tavy revolvers at ten puces. Early on the morning of May 9,1873, the party, accom panied by Drs. Hunter McGuire, who had been Stonewall Jackson’s medical director, t:.d J. 8. D. Culiin, who had filled the same position on Longstroet’a staff, appeared on the duelling ground. At the first shot both missed, and Col. Tabb asked McCarty if he was satisfied. WANTED ANOTHER SHOT. "No, I want another shot,” came the quick response. At the second fire both men fell, McCarty with a ball in the bip and Moredcal with a bullet through the stomach. Kef< re the smoke had cleared away Chief of Police Poe came up on a gallop. He was only in time to put the seconds under arrest and assist in taking the wounded men home. M hlle Mordecai lay on the ground he ssul to his seconds. “He can have another shot if no wants it." The principals were taken to their homes end a few days later Mordecai died from the effects of his wound. The seconds were In jail for several weeks, and a guard was placed over MoCarty until he recovere 1 sufficiently to stand trial. He was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and fined SSOO. Ihe affair created intense excitement in Virginia, and the position Jof Miss Triplett whs extremely uncomfortable. Some time after the duel she married Mr. Philip Haxall and lived happily with THE BIVSB AND HARBOR.

The Knoxville Tribune publishes this gossip about the Marietta and North Geor gia railroad: "It may now bo stated that the proposed consolidation is backed not only by the Louisville aud Nashville, but by the Norfolk and Western. It cannot be positively stated that these roads will take any pecuniary interest, but they are in the scheme. The Louisville and Nashville pro posed to come to Knoxville over tracks whioh she has some interest in. The Nor folk and Western proposes to do the same. By the scheme each gets here from Cumber land Gap and go on to Atlanta. Tnis will be a big stroke i6r the Norfolk and West ern. Here are sbme statements about the scheme: A gentleman, who is without ques tion thoroughly familiar with the inside workings of the Marietta and North Georgia reorganization scheme, calledatthe Tribune. yesterday and stated most positively that the committee on reorganization has been in existence since early in January, 1892, and that the following gentlemen compose the committee: F. P. Alcott chairman, Henrv H. Boody, James Carmichel, Cary and Knssel. The plan of reorganization is to iasuo $2,500,000 worth of first mortgage 50 year bonds. Two million dollars of this amount will be used in putting the road in first-olass physical condition and to pay off the receiver’s cer tificates. Tha $500,000 of the bond money unaccounted for will be used in a manner which it would not at present be fair to state. The New York, Boston, London and Savannah stockholders have all agreed to the plan of reorganization, and the matter is only la abeyance until after the suits against the road now pending are decided. President Cary and Mr. Boody will prob ably be here during tbis month to consult further relative to the reorganization scheme, whioh will put the Marietta and North Georgia in as a link of the great through route per the Norfolk and Western railroad, etc., to the south and west. An Atlanta man has named this ticket for the Central railroad: Henry Fink, pres ident; Cecil Gabbett, general manager; Culp, general freight agent, and B. W. Wrenn, general passenger agent.

How an Important Find Was Mado of Kmeraldaiand Amethysts. From the Xew York Herald. Helena, Mont., April 2.— William Guion, who lives seven miles north of this oity, has brought in to the local lapidary a lot of precious stones for cutting and pricing. These consist of emeralds, amethysts, opals aud oatseyes. Mr. Onion says that he finds many of these stones m a large tract of country which appears to be in an imtneuss gravel bed. The uocut gems lie about iu great profusion, and in many instances they are found in the giz zards of poultry. This field has never been worked by any one. The stones which were shown by Mr. Quion were of good size, and the lapidary says they will cut into excellent gems. One emerald is per fectly pure, and is as large as a pigeou’s egg, aud is valued by the lapidary at S2OO, but Mr. Guion says ho will sell none of them until he can take them to New York. The disoovery of the precious stones was made in a peculiar way. One of Mr. Guion’s children was playing by a small creek and found what he called a marble. This was almost perfectly round and was of a flinty or agate nature. It became chipped off iu some way, showing the appearance of the beautiful stone and excited attention for a while, but was soon forgotten, until Mrs. Guion, iu redressing at urkey gwbich had been shot, found another etone in its gizzard which was similar in size and shape to the one which the ohildren found. The strange similarity of the two excited more than ouriosity. and Mr. Guion at once began to look for more, finding many of them in the sand and gravel. He brought them to town for examination with the result stated. The Quail as a Game Bird. From the St. Louie Globe-Democrat. The Chinese of San Francisco use quail as fighting cocks, and one who has never seen the ferocity with whioh these birds fight would be surprised at their energy. They will fight to the death, pecking, scratching, striking one another with their wings and feet, and in every way appar ently doing what they can to injure eaoh other. The Chinese are very fond of the sport, and will frequently spend hours over the pit where quail are fighting, many a dollar meantime changing hand* on the fortunes of the contest.

Mrs. Morse generally took care of the eocentrio old woman who occupied a house with her two dogs. As Mrs. Morse raised her window she heard a plaintive howl coming from tho opposite house. "The dogs must want to get out,” she remarked to her husband, and, donning her bonnet, she walked ucross the street and tried to open the door. It was locked, but from be hind it the dogg continued their moaning, changing it, however, to furious barking when Mrs. Morse went to the window to raise it. Ail other efforts to enter the house were prevented by the dogs until Detective Zimmerman came along and shot them. Then a boy crawled through the window and unlocked the door.

Suffered Greatly. Doctors Fall to Relieve. Speedily Cured by Cuticura Remedies. In the summer of IrBB, a sore came on the fleshy part of my rlgnt leg, not far from the shin bone. It continued to increase in size, and . eventually formed a largo ulcer three inches long by two wide. I employed a regular physi cian, but he gave me no relief. It was very painful, and eventually part of the flesh to the bone dropped out. After suffering with it for six months I was induced to try the CrTicuKA Remedies. At this lime I was completely help less, unable to walk without crutches, and suffered greatly. In about a week the sore be gan to show signs of improvement, and event ually was completely healed. Another sore then broke out on my instep, but the same treatment soon cured that. I was indebted solely to the Cuticura Kemediss for my resto ration to health. My leg is now as well as it. ever was, and since then I have not been troubled with sores. D. F. MERRITT, I'llisville, MUs. We hereby certify that we are acquainted with the aforesaid D. F.
