IN VIRGINIA —ONE OF TISK MEN STAB
BED To DEATH AND THE 01 111; r; VOU
TALI.Y WOUNDED.
Forest Depot, Va., May ‘2O A fa
tal lecontre occurred near this place
to-day between Alexander Slicy and
Frest Coles, brothers-in-’aw, in which
tho former was killed and tho lattur
dangerously if not niotally wounded*
The parties to the affair are young
farmers and highly connected, and
of course tho community is in a wild
state of excite-aei.t, Rlieyand Coles
became itivoivod iu a dispute this
foieuooti as to who hud the largest
con , “I bet my corn is two inches
higher than youte,” said Siliey, "I Let
it aint,” said Coles.
They then visited the fields and
measured. They were both very
pleasant about it at first, but wlieu
Coles found bis neighbor’s corn was
the larger he was exceedingly wroth
and accused his friend of cheating
Then iiot words ensued, and finally
the fie passed. The two men, who an
hour before hid been intimate friends
were uow dead y foes, Sliey propo
sed that they meet in a piece of t.n
brsgeoiis wood*, a mile distant, and
fight it out with knives. Coles ateep'-
| ort '.he challenge. Tha two men went
ro their re*pcc< live home", and nccot-
I
ding to agreement, ptoctired driving
knives. In a half un hot r they met
ill the woods ready for the duo!, and
then made preliminaries in the corn
field. They told o'd Bob Ormington
a colored laborer, to meet theca in the
grounds as un eicort—a second. The
tiegto thought they'were joking about
fighting and to carry out the joke he
I was promptly in the chosen woods
when tlm two moo arrived. It was
j then two Etc for him to back out.—
The duel sis, who wero tnen'of eplend
ietl physique, wero cool before com
meneing. It was about r.oon. They
handed the negro an axe and told
h'tn if he found one taking advantage
of tho oth r to rush in and straighten
them. This agreed upt n tho princi
pals stripped lo tho wai-t, and witnout
ary delay leg an the deally combat,
They Hist ried fencing, hut it is said
that alter a lew parries Coles begun
to use bis weapon like a madman and
liend. He inflicted five deep wounds
in his antagonist's body, one beiug
in the abdomen and one in the throat.
At tfiis rate Sltey fell [to tho ground
in a few minutes and died in less than
bait uu hour. Coles received three
wounds, one in the atm, and one in
tho ribs and one in the neck. Two of
them were quite deep, and may re
sult fatally.
Terrible Affair.
One of (lie most terribly dramatic
geenes wo ever heard of occurred in
the Ohio aledieal Coilege, at Cincin
nati, last week. John Harrison, of
North Bond, 0 , with an officer and
seaiulr warrant was hunting for the
body of a frien i tiiat had boon ex
hmuoJ for (ho purposejof desection. A
body with a ropeabcut the neck, and
cloth ovor the shoulders, was pulled
up from the vault by tho windlass,
when, instead of his fr.eud, John
Harrison beheld the body of his own
father, Hon. Johu Scott Harrison, a
son cf President \V. H. Ifariisou,
who had been buried at North Bend
twenty hours before. Tho matter
hascreafed tho gro. test excitement.
The body waa exhumed, notwith
standing it was in a brick vault, cov
ered with a heavy slab, of stone, and
in charge of a private watchman who
was instructed not to report that an
attempt had been made to riflo the
gravt, and ho had sea rod the robber
off; but if attempt should be made
report it, and say the dead body of
(he robber whs lying mi ths grave.—
Several arrests have been made, and,
the alloir will be sifted to the bottom,
which w ill put a check on the preval
ence of body snatching af ount Cin
r itiuati.
Dr. E. G T . Palmer, who wits
posed to have basely assasinated Col.
Salisbury, of Columbus, Ga , at Seale
Alabama, and who fled, aud conceal
ed himself for sometime, hut was
captured, has been admitted to bail,
iu 83.000, by tho Judge at Seale. It
was testified to on examination that
Palmer did not shoot Salisbury, and
| the theory is that Salisbury's son
! in-law shot him by mistake, intend

LOST AND FOUND.
A Deal Romance—Truth Stranger

There lives in the city of Augusta a
poor, respectable woman who has a
drunken husband and an only child,
less than five years of age, which she
had net seen since the child was bare
ly throe years old, the worthless liusj
band having deserted his wife, curry
ing off the chilrl to parts unknown,
and was lust heard of in Memphis

got into a gambling scrape and de-
So' ted the child, leaving it with his
washerwoman, who cared for it with
out knowing what had become of its
parents. Nothing more was heard
from the little g.rl whose name is
Minnie” until the distressed mother
learned Iter child was in New Orleans
but lor want of means could learu
nothing more definite as to her where
abouts until a few days ago the p or
woman was informed that a child re
semtding hers, with black glossy hair
da k spaikliug eyes, •snsweiittg to the
name of Minnie, was seen in Aiken,
S. C-, wheresfto immediate y repaired
after some difficulty in j roiuring suf
ficient fuuds to defray iter expenses,
with little ftope of a succi ssful mission.
But to Iter amazement she found her
child handsomely attired, in the pos
session of Mr and Mrs. ,a lady
and gent eman of fortune from New
York, who have no fault y, and had
adopted the little stranger in the city
tf Memphis while ‘hero on a visit,
with the intention of making it heir
to a million or upwards. The child
immediately recognized its mother,
and the secognition was mutual; hence
the adopted mother entered into a full
explanation and gave tho whole dory
which is about as follows;
On visiting Memphis she retuatked
to her washerwoman that she had
long desired to adopt some har.dsomo
child, when “Minnie” was suggested
and brought to light the story as to
how she got possession owing to the
sudden exit of the, unl. ithful father,
&c , wi Trout any knowlege as to what
had become cf either father or mother
suffice it to say, Mrs. ,was high
iy delighted with tho appearance of
the interesting deserted child ..ml

happy pair, with thoir adopted daugh
ter, put out for New Orleans and
thence to their home in New York

reluctant to surrender to her natural

pending as to what shall he tho result,
viz: whether thechild shall remain aud

than the adopted one and be wear.ed

who can hear only from it through oth

intercourse as a parent or other blood
relation. Tito poor mother is in a quan
dary and at a loss to know hor duty
and how to decide the destiny of hor
offspring. She says the s’rnngors
have treated her with marked kind
ness in bestowing presents and offer
ing to aid her in varions ways, provid
ed she will consent to abandon her
child and surrenderit to‘heir keeping
on the stipulated conditions referred
to, which places poor humanity in an
awkward dilemma-between abject
poverty on the one hand for lierst-lf
and child in a uncharitable world for
all time to eotre, and affluence and
refinement on the other hand for her
offspring, which she is to virtually dis
own for its wellbeing and remain in
her poverty solitary and alone. How

DEATH FROM GLANDERS.
A Singular Cast* in which an
Ola Loilisviilian Loses
iiis Lite*.
In a neighborhood in Bullitt coun
ty, Ky., about four miles from Shop
erdsviile, glanders has recently pro
vailed among tho horses in uvery vi< -
lent and fatal form. Some throe years
ago Mr. W’m. A. Naily, for many
years a well known citizen and busi
ness man of Louisville, purchased a
farm near fc’heperdsville, removing to
it with his family. Recently, all of
his hones were attacked by glanders, '
a disease of tho mucou3 membrane,
and usually very fatal in animals,
and one of them died. Mr. Nully
hud doctored the sick horses during
their illness, and, when the death of
one of them cccuied, deemed it bes',
in order to prevent tho sproad of the
disease, to burn the animal.
While engaged at this it is suppos
ed the vims from the dead horse was
communicated to a sore on N-diy’s
hand. Inflaminalion ofavety violent
character rapidly supervened, and fol
lowing this came rapid gangrene, end
after a few days’ illness Mr. Naily
died on Thursday last,‘23d inst. His
sufferings were intense, and all tho
symptoms wore exactly the same as
those developed in tho doad horse
(luring Us illness, There were the
same nasal ejections, of a most offen
sive smell; tho same choking in the
throat, as in the case of the horse.
Mr. Wally’s feet and legs had to he
bandaged to prevent them falling off
from mortification, stteh was tho vitu-
Dnce of the gangrene" After Mr.
Naily’scbah all tho horses on the
farm, fivo in number, were shot by
order of the physician, in order to
prevent futther spread of the diseas*
in the neighborhood, wlmre there was
great excitement.
The News reporter has known of
i cases of glanders in men communicat
ed directly from an infected horse by
inhaling the breath of tho animal, and
where there was no communication
with the body either before or after
death. Two do tth sof this character
oscored only recently about two ve
in ties from the city. It is always the
safest plan in glanders to either kill
the affected animal or separate it en
tire'y from all contact with other ani
mals or mn. Any communication
with a glandorod hoi'3e by other hors
os is sure to spread the tatai intec
lion. —Louisville Evening News.

A RESOLUTE AVO3I \VS
FIGHT.
Killing Two Tramps Hilt Re
ceiving Her Own Deutli Wotmti.
On Friday night a plucky young
| widow living noar Tazewell Court
house, Va., defeated two tramp ruffians
1 after a fight which cost ail three their
lives. About ten o’clock at night two
men went to the house of Mrs. Becky
Bildwin and asked her to givo them
some silver in exchange for notes, of
foring seven dollars of tho latter for
five dollars of tho former. They soon
left, but returned after sho had retir
ed and broke open tho dorr and en
tered her bedtotm. She jumped
| from tho b( and ami told them to leave
| her room. They demanded her pock-
I etboi.k, and thicatened violence if sho
did not givo it up. Sim went to her
: dress, deliberately took the pocket
book from it, containing twenty-one
dollaie, and threw it in tho fire. One
of the tramp s stooped to get t out,
and stia snatched up an axo and dealt
him a terrific blow, knocking him
down, quickly followii g with other
blows, dashing his biains out on tho
hearthstone. The second tramp 'lnn
drew a dirk knife, and rushed at her
and stabbed tier twice in the left
breast. She dealt him a fearful blow
with tho axo, neaily severing his
right arm noar ttie shoulder. The
miscreant then lied, leaving a trail of
blood behind him. His dead body
was found next morning two miles
from the plnctf. A young while man
came lay Saturday trorning, and found
Mrs. Baldwin dD"g. She told her
story, and died two hours afterward.
The dead bodies of the ttamps were
thrown in a hog pen, so grout was
tho indignation of tho people in the
vicinity. Theie were no papers upon
them by which they could bo identi
