NEW YORK, July 6.—Six men stood on Fiddlers' island, which lies between Far Robkaway and Long Beach, an hour before noon yesterday. One of them was Mr. J. Armoy Knox, the Texas Sifter. Another was Mr. U. B. Sbeaban, tne sculptor. The other four were their seconds in tbeir bloody duel they were about to tight, a physician, wiiuse professional aid each of the principals hoped tbe other would lequire, and a mutual lriend The meeting was the result ot Tuesday evening's quarrel about the merits of the machinery of justice in the states ot Now York and Texas, respectively, Knox valiantly espouaing tbe cause of Texas, and Sbeahan tbat of New York. Both men had come to tbis deserted spot on Long lsJiud's const prepared to do their best or tbeir worst for their states. At 6:30 O'CIOCK in the morning Mr. Knox and a triend left tbe hotel Dam without saying where they would go. Mr. Sbeaban arrived ai his domestic hearth late on Wednesday night. He informed his wife that be should start early in the morning tor fear of 11

FBEING ARRESTED I ,'njQ IKH: for sending a challenge. He left his house an hour after Mr. Knox left the note!. He kept his movements also in doubt, merely saying to bis wife tlut she would hear*from him or of him soon. Tne belligerents met according to a preconcerted arrangement at Far RocHaway. They tben went in the direction of Long Beacb, and passing tne oyster house landed on tne deserted body of sand known to tne fishermen as Fiddler's island. Tbe weapons used were the choice ol each party, time not permitting a uniform pistol to be decided upon. Mr. Knox had a four-ohambered Smith & Wesson 45-calibre revolver. Mr. ?hea-ha-i had a British bull-log of no particular pattern, but of large size. The arrangements made by the seconds were to stand at twenty paces position, full front, and to sh'oot at the word "fire" without any preliminary warning. Any number of shots were to be allowed until honor was satisfied on both sides. Everj thing being ready the duelists .were placed in position.

"FIRB" RUNG OUT

REPORT OF THE DOCTOR.

Tbe wound was not dangerous, but it is likely to be ineonvenient. The seconds and others on the ground interfered, and declared tbat enough bad been done to satisfy everybody, and tbe affair must close. Mr. Sheahan now smiled and declared himself as willing to cease hostilities. Not so his opponent, however Knox, angered by pain, would have gone on, but was persuaded to forego bis desire. It was decided to return, and the boat, which had been sent oft to cruise at a distance was hailed, and the party returned to Rockaway, preserving during the passage a deathly silence. On landing. the whole party proceeded to the United States hotel, and at separate tables, but in the same room, they partook of the much-needed refreshment after the exciting events of tbe morning. The needs of the body having been satisfied, and the wounded man's hurts having been properly attended to in anticipation of a long journey, the train for

New York was taken. On the arrival of the party in the city Mr. Sheahan bade good-bye to his friends and

RETIRED TO THAT SECLUSION which the law makes necessary. Mr. Knox, with his friend Mr. A. M. Chase, drov« straight to the hotel Dam, took his luggage, paid his bill, and proceeded to the Pennsylvania railroad, where he left on the ten o'clock train, en route for Texas. All the parties sought their respective homes, and so ended the dread encounter.

The Texan expressed himself quite satisfied with the result of the first fire, and suggested that tbe proceedings should come to a close. Not so his antagonist, however. The more the visitor wished to retire the more valiant he became, and he firmly stated that "he had come there for a ^in p^e, and be was going to cany that purpose out at any cost." There was nothing for it, therefore, but to begin again. '1'he men took up their position and again "fire!" was ahouted out with full lungpower.

A WIFE'S REVEN6E.

Scene in a Hotel Dining-Room at Manhai tan Beaoh—A Beantifnl Youtrt, Lady Severely Cewhided

Nsw YOBX, Jnly 9. The waiters at Manhattan Beach were very busily em. ployed last evening when about 7 o'clock a young lady, escorted by a stately looking gentleman, entered the large diningroom. She was attired in white with ribbons in strong contrast and a rich display W lace and elaborate trimmings. Tbe lady carried herself right royally. She glaneed rather haughtily about her as the waiter drew back her chair, resigned her parasol to her escort as if she were doing him signal service, and being Anally seated assumed an air of languid and superb indifference. Her face bore well the scrutiny it was subjected to. It was pale, oval and peculiarly fascinating- The eyes were singularly large and full the nose a model for the highest form of Grecian chiseling. The gentleman was evidently nearlv twice hei age, and there was no mistake as to his devotion. The pair proceeded to discuss as good a supper as the bill ot fare afforded when another made her appearance on the scene. There are excellent reasons for believing that the newcomer was the gentleman's wife. Her eyes wandered about the dining-room until they rested on the young lady and her friend. She made her way very quietlv over to the table where they were seated", and betore any one could appreciate what was going on had drawn a riding-whip from her pocket The gentleman sprang from bis seat with a look of dismay, but he was too late to save the girl. Three or four times tbe ridingwhip whistled in the air, one vigorous stroke leaving a tcarlet streak across the young lady's face. It was all the gentleman could do to get the ladies parted, and the moment she was free the owner of the dashing hat hurried out with 4t of her imperiousness gone, her

crumpled and her dress disorderis little episode had taken up less inute's time, but the excitement it caused was ot much longer durThe lady with the whip strugfiercely to get free from the gengrasp that she finally succeeded, moment she disappeared in the taken by the younger woman.

and Reprobate. -t

tiic

LONDON, July 9.—The death of Duke of Marlborough has cauped a dis cussion in all the metropolitan journals ot a very sensational and somewhat unsavory character. His successor, tbe notorious Marquis of Blandford, the cause of all this, was only recently thrown overboard by the Liberals on account ot his extremely bad moral character. In a caucus, which was largely attended, and where the discussions pro and con ran hot and high, and in which his doings in private life were thoroughly shown up and discussed, it was decided by a large majority that it would be most injudicious to nominate him as a Liberal candidate for Parliament. His friends had hoped that his high position, wealth and lineage would have closed the mouth of calumny, but the Liberal leaders were not to be hoodwinked Iby tbe glitter of his inherited social position, and after listening to he story of his wrong doings deliberately and positively refused to allow him to be any caudidate of theirs, and thus give tbeir opponents such a desirable opportunity. So his candidacy was defeated, and very wisely if halt that is said about his profligate mode of life be true. Reynolds' newspaper id Its issue to-day, editorially stigmatizes the new peer as a thorough paced ruffian and reprobate." Reynolds further says that: "The Marquis of Blandtord is the man who, as the bosom friend of the rowdy

Lord Aylesiord, seduced that nobleman's wife. This was not the worst of it, however, for during the whole of this shameless and adulterous intercourse the noble Earl was perfectly cognizant of all the facts and was apparently a pleased and consenting party, and this is the disreputable fellow who, by virtue of his being tbe son ot an hereditary Duke, becomes ka English legislator, holds in his hands the disposition of several rich Church livings, and has inherited a pension of £5,000 ayear from the Nation."

By Telegrapb to the Poat-DUpatch: NEW YO&K, July 7—The sporting fraternity found a cooling subject of discussion last evening in confiding to one another just what they would do if iair fortune weuld enly smile upon them as it had upon "Plunger" Walton, who won $75,000 on July 4th. Henry Stedeker said to a reporter of the World last night: "Walton has had more than average success since the opening of the racing season. He left Sheepshead Bay considerably ahead, and has continued his successful betting since the opening of Mommouth park. He made the biggest hauls by his

When he camcto the track on the Fourth of July morning he left the book-makers catch him for a couple of hundred, and then he was prepared to make some money. All our bets were three to one, and after he had succeeded in arranging matters with fifteen or twenty book-makers he quietlylwithdrew to await developments. After the third race he as quietly returned and drew the aggregate $30,000 winnings on the Lorillard horse. He staggered the boys on his first haul but when he followed it up by getting "the winner" in the fourth and fifth races the book .makers looked aghast and Meanly was obliged ..

and leave the track after paying bis obligations: Oh, it was a bad day for book-makers, and your humble servant feels it to the extent of $10,000.

In his attempt to kill himself after shooting the girl he fired two bullets into his head, one which penetrated both hemispheres of the brain. The other passed through one hemisphere and both are now inside his skull. Notwithstanding these wounds, from both of which the brain oozed in considerable quantity, the negro remained in the woods from Thursday eve till Sunday morning, when he ate a very hearty meal, talked rationally, and walked three miles from the place he was captured to Potosi. The physicians, however, say he can't live, rhe girl still lives, but is paralysed from the effect of die ball, which entered the back of her head and passed under and into the spinal column. ii
