INFANTICIDE.
A Moth-' Nfrnnale her t'hlld, nnd Cnrrles
the llwfly about In a Hundle ol Olil CI.Hic.
The Chicago licpublican of Saturday last has
tlic following:
Oa Thursday morning last, about 5 o'clock,
OUiccr Thomas, of the Second district, was ac
costed by a young woman, who said she had the
night before arrived In this city from Washing
ton, Mo., and being without friends or money,
wished him to take her where she could remain
till she found employment. The olllcer took
her to Ids own house, nnd noticed that day a
large, heavy bundle, which she said contained
her clothes.
The ofllccr opened It, and in the centre of a
lot of clothing found the body of a large and
perfectly developed female Infant. The girl
pretended great astonishment at the contents of
the bundle, an said a girl living in the same
bouse with her at Washington bad done it up
for her. She said she never saw the baby
before, and denied that it was hers. The offi
cers at once took her iu custody, and carried
her and the child to tho police station, where
the Coroner was sent for, and upon his arrival,
discovered a cord wrapped twice around the
infant's throat, nnd so tightly drawn as to sink
almost out of tight In the Heah.
THE MOTHER
was locked up to await the result of the inquest
held yesterday. She is seventeen or eighteen
years of age, large nnd well formed, aud not bad
looking. Her face, however, has no expression
of refinement, nnd her whole appearance is more
animal than intellectual. She cried while in the
calaboose night before list, but did not appear
to feel clearly the terrible position in which
her own act had placed her. After the inquest
yesterday she gave the name of the father as
Vllliam Cordtr, and stated that he is a miner
working on the Iron Mountain Railroad; that he
did not promise her marriage, but that she
wanted him arrested in order t make hlut pay
her expenses.
Miriam A. Thomns testMcd I live at No. 1212
Linden street; yesterday morning the girl Mary
Reilly came to our house; we were iu need of a
girl and thought we would keep her, if she
suited us; she said she had just come from the
country; she was very weak when she came and
undertook to wash the dishes, but had to give it
up and eit down; she walked, however, after
wards to the house with me, a distance of about
ten squares; this was between 10 o'clock and
noon; we unloaded the things, and she took my
baby right away.
Iter bundle was put upon a box from which I
picked it up to put it Into another box; it
struck me that the bundle was very heavy for
its size, so I put my hands under It; I tried to
work my hand into it to find out what was in it,
and felt something that I suppose was the hair
of the child; at least I felt the child's head; I
then called my husband and he took the bundle
into another room while I went Into tho room
where the girl was; my husband satisfied him
self that the bundle contained tho body of a
child, went out and called two policemen who
examined the bundle in tho kitchen and then
came iu tho room where the girl was and began
talking to her; they asked her if it was her
bundle, nnd she said yes, I suppose so, I have a
bundle in there; they then asked her who did
ud the bundle, and she said her mother and a
young girl living with her mother; this was all
bho said: when they asked her whose baby it
was, she said she did not know anything about
a baby, did not know there was a baby in the
bundle, her mother and a girl who stopped there
did it up; she did not seem to be uneasy about
it, and It was thrown around, put on the wagon,
and taken ott again.
The jury then retired, and after deliberation,
brought in tue louowing
VEItDICT.
Tho female infant died from the effects of
strangulation by a strip of llueu tied around its
neck by some person, and the jury are of the
opinion that one Mary Rcllly is the mother of
the child, nnd caused its death by strangulation
on or about the asm day ol Marcti, isiu.
Tho trirl will probably be sent to the hospital
until sufficiently strong to undergo preliminary
examination hetore tho courts.
AN OLD HEEO.
Jniiim H. f'ntntibrll Ponth of the l.aot Itc
mulnlDK rrlHoner of Ibe itevolulioii.
Judee James S. Campbell died on Wednesday
the 2M ult., at his residence near the village of
Cherry Valley, Otsego county, Mew York, nt
the advanced age of U7 years. Ha was in many
respects a remarkable man, being probably the
last prisoner of the war of the Revolution, and
undoubtedly the only man who met and con
versed with both the first President, General
Washington, nnd the last, General Grant. Ho
was boru in 177:2 ou the estate where he died,
where his father was born, which his grand
father reclaimed from the wilderness on tho
first settlement of the country, nnd which is
now the residence of his sou, the lion. William
W. Campbell.
When the massacre of Cherry Valley took
place In 1778. immediately utter that ot Wyo
ming, nnd tiv the same party of Indians nnd
Tories, under Brant and Butler, Colonel Samuel
Campbell, the late Judge's father, was away
from home with his command in the army. His
family were taken captive; the homestead was
burned; his need mother being unable to keep
np with the party on their stormy November
march, was killed, and his wife and children
carried to iort JSiagara. Most ot them were
booh exchanged; but the late Judge, then a
child six years old, was for some
reason retained among the Indians, was
carried off far back into Canada, and became
no habituated to the savage life, which he led
for about five years, ns to forget his native
tongue. He was finally, after great exertion,
restored to his lamily at (Quebec; and on the re
settlement ot Cherry alley, niter tlio war, re
turned to his home, and has resided there ever
Bmce. When the war was over, General Wash
ington rode up the V alley ot the Susquehanna
w th a party of ofllccr?) to view the scene of
the late massacre. On his way ho was entcr
talucd at the house of Colonel Campbell, where
he met the survivors of tho bloody attack, amoag
whom was tho little rescued prisoner, then
about twelve years old. Ho manifested much
Interest in tho story of the boy-captive, con
versing freely with him about the curious expe
rlences he had gone through. The old man re
tained vivid remembrance of this event, and to
the laet mouth of his life dwelt upon it with
evident pride. When the war of the Rebellion
tl03cd, and General Grant came to Albany to
participate in tho celebration of t:-;e national
victories, the aged Judge happened to be visit
Jnir his son. Samuel Campbell, Esq., of Castle
ton. lie went thence to Albany, where he was
Introduced to General Grant.
He had the lutegrlty and vigor which seem to
pertain so uniformly to those ot a scotch an
cestry. He was for fifteen years a Judge of tho
Icurt of Common Fleas, and always held a
position of honor and respect in the commu
nity. He leaves the record of an earnest, hon
orable, nnd sturdily uprluht career, lie was a
character, of cheerful disposition aud unpre
tending piety, ne leave a large ianitiy oi
children, grandcuuuren, and great-grandehil
dren. Of his nine sons and one daughter, all
are living except one son, Henry. Nearly all of
them were professionally educated. Amon
them are the Hon. William W. Campbell, the
Rev. Alfred K. Campbell, D. D., of New York;
Harauul Campbell, Lsq of Cast'.eton; and John
:anipl)ell. C. .. of New York. Several of his
grandchildren served in the late war, and one of
Uicm was breveteu a jjngauier-uuuuriu.

Secretary Kobesoa on the Oneida Calamity.
Bpecial Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, April 4. In the answer to a
resolution of the House of Representatives of
the 2d Inst., calling for Information relative to
the loss of the Oneida, Secretary Robeson says:
In tho opinion of the Navy Department the
conduct of Mr. Delong and our other civil and
military officers in Japan deserves the highest
commendation.
We are also indebted to the Japanese autho
rities, and to many of the officers and agents of
the other governments then at Yokohama, for
prompt and generous assistance after the occur
rence became known. From an examination of
the evidence in the possession of the depart
ment, the testimony taken before a court of
inquiry composed of British officers, the evi
dence of Master Yates, the officer of the deck
on board the Oneida at the time of the colli
sion, the accompanying charts, and the analysis
ef Lieutenant Lyons, it is the opinion of tho
department that the Oneida was, when she was
struck, steaming her proper course out to sea
from the Bay of Yeddo, bound to the United
States; that the ship was well commanded,
and her discipline good, and that all the neces
sary precautions were taken by her commander
to ensure the safe navigation of the vessel and
to prevent collision, aid tho rules of the road
conformed to agreeably to the regulations of the
United States Navy, and that no blame Is to be
attached to the officers or crew of tho Oneida
for the collision. It is asserted by the captain
and some of the officers of the Bombay that
that vessel on rounding Kanonsakl point made
the Oneida ahead or a little on the port bow,
and then hauled up on a course which would
have taken her well clear of the American ves
sel. This assertion is, in the opinion of the de
partment, inconsistent with the real result of
their evidence when closely examined, and I am
forced to tho conclusion, on the evidence now
before us, that the disaster occurred through the
bad navigation of the Bombay.
In answer to the question, ''Whether all pos
sible mcams or any means were used to relieve
and rescue the officers and men of the sinking
vessel?" I have to say that no means appear to
have been used by the captain of tho Bombay to
render any assistance whatever to the Oneida,
although it seems inevitable that he should
have had reason to suppose that the damage
done was of a very serious and dangerous cha
racter. Whatever doubt or difference of opinion
may naturally exist as to the responsibility for
the actual collision, or as to what was or should
have been done on board of each ship before or
at the moment of contact, there can hardly be
any question in regard to tho conduct ef the
responsible commander of tho Bombay after the
collision took place, and on this
subject the department is constrained to reply
that It appears to have been the result of a reck
less disregard for human life aud of the com
mon obligations of humanity. Tho reports re
ceived from official sources generally agree with
regard to the circumstances councctcd with the
disaster.
The Secretary of State is In receipt of
a very complimentary letter lroin secretary
Robeson in relation to the conduct of Minister
Delong regarding the Oneida disaster, in which
he says: "I greatly appreciate tho course pur
sued by Mr. Delong in investigating the subject
of the collision between the Oneida and tho
Bombay. To him we are largely indebted for
the result which, In tho opinion of the depart
ment, exonerates the officers and crew of tho
Oneida from all blamo for the collision. Mr.
Delong has proved himself a true Amerlcau, de
voted to the interests ot uis government, aud
properly sensitive in regard to tho rights and
reputation of his countrymen. I feel sure that
the relatives and friends of the deceased officers
will fully appreciate his course throughout, and
this feeling will be shured by every officer of tho
navy."

morning, laden with wheat, barley, peas, and

The mcFnrland Trial.
New Yohk, April 4. The McFarland trial Is
up to-day, and the anticipations that it would
excite most intense public Interest, judging from
present appearances, are likely to be fully real
ized. As early as 10 o'clock this morning the cor
ridors of tho Court of General Sessions were
densely crowded by a curious crowd, eager by
some means to gain admission to the court-room.
Tho throng In tho hulls of tho Court was yery
differently composed from that which Is usually
seen there.
After 10 o'clock Captain McClosky, of the
Court of General Sessions, arrived at the Tombs,
where tho warden handed over to his custody
the prisoner. McFarland was neatly dressed in
black, his face smoothly shaved, and his geno
ral demeanor cool and collected.
In custody of McClosky, MeFarland arrived
at the Court unrecognized by tho donee
crowd waiting to catch a glimpse of him. 8oon
after the arrival of the prisoner he was joined
by his littlo son Percy, when they kissed each
other and entered Into conversation.
McFarland then addressed others, and said ho
was prepared to meet tho verdict, whatever it
was, but was confident it would be favorable.
Ho was cool, and in much better health than
when confined four montus ago.
The Court opened at 11 o'clock, Recorder
Hackett and Jud?e Bedford on tho bench.
Messrs. Graham, Spencer, and Geary, tho pri
soner's counsel, and District Attorney Garvin,
Assistant District Attorney Fellows, and Noah
Davis for the prosecution. Tho case of the
people against McFarland was immediately
taken up, and Mr. Garvin said he was ready to
proceed. Mr. Graham, on the part of tho pri
soner, suggested tho propriety of appointing
trycrs for tho Jury. The Recorder said Mr.
Graham and tho District Attorney could settle
that. The latter said he had no objection to the
plan.
A considerable interval elapsed before the
work of nominating triers commenced, during
which McFarland conversed with his little boy,
while his counsel engaged in earnest confer
ence. FROM THEWEST.

OBITUARY.
Edward Nile Thayer.
We regret to anuounce tho death of tho vene
rable actor, Edward N. Thayer, which took
place at his residence, No. 201 Madison street,
this morning at 3 o'clock. Mr. Thayer was an
old man, and for several years past he has not
appeared upon the stage, so that to the youngest
of tho present generation of playgoers ho was
unknown except by reputation. For many
years, however, he was a resident of this city,
and a leading member of the stock companies
of tho Old Chesnut, the Walnut, and tho Arch,
and he was so intimately connected with plea
sant recollections of the stage of Philadelphia
that the intelligence of his death will occasion
a general regret.
Mr. Thayer was born in Boston about the year
1707, and ho was consequently in his 73d year
at the time of his death. When quite a youth
he entered the United States navy as a midship
man. He was on board tho frigate Chesapeake
under Commodore Lawrence during the engage
ment with tho British frigate Shannon in 1813,
and it is said that ho was so frightened that he
raa below and hid himself in the hold during
the action. The rumor of his conduct on this
occasion was a favorite subject of jest with
these who knew him, but Mr. Thayer always
took the raillery at his want of courage in excel
lent part, aud was willing to treat the matter as a
good joke at his exponse. It should be remem
bered that at the time ho was quite a small boy,
and that neither then nor afterwards did he pro
fess to be much of a hero, except in tho mimic
world, where he found both reputation and ap
plause as the delineator of warriors fand
lofty-minded patriots. After the war of 1813
had ended Mr. Tha3'er withdrew from tho
navy, and for some time devoted himself
to business pursuits, but his predilections were
for the stage, and In 1821 he made his first ap
pearance as an actor at the Federal Street The
atre, Boston, as "Tancred" in Thompson's
tragedy of Tancred and Sigismunda. He
speedily made his mark as a representative of
light comedy characters, and acquired a local
reputation which secured him an engagement
at the old Chatham Street Theatre, Now York,
then under tho management of Barrere. About
the year 1852 ho cam to Philadelphia as a mem
ber of the stock company of the old Chesnut
Street Theatre, and sinco then he always held a
prominent position at either the old Chesnut,
the WalnutJ or the Arch, and ho was one of
the best-known and most highly-respected of
the old stock actors of Fhllahelphla.
In his younger days Mr. Thayer was a favo
rite representative of tho leading light comedy
characters. This, however, was before tho
recollection of the majority of tho playgoers of
tho present day, and for many years previous to
his retirement he was considered one of tho best
and most reliable "old men" on the stage. Ho
and his esteemed wife were prominent members
of tho Arch Street Company under tho manage
ment of Wheatley tVi Drew, Wheatley, aud
Wheatley & Clarke, when that theatre obtained
a celebrity for the production of standard come
dies such as it never had before or since,
About four years ago Mr. Thayer retired
from the stage, principally on account of
deafness, which prevented him from attending
to tho business of the 6tage In a manner satisfac
tory t hlinself, and his last appearance in pub
lic was at a benefit given to him about three
years ago at tho Academy of Music, when ho
came before the curtain aud made a short
speech, thanking the audience for their attend
ance. Mr. Thayer was for mauy years a regular
attendant at Grace Church (Episcopal), Twelfth
and Cherry streets, of which his widow is a
member. He was a man of pure and blameless
life, and both as an actor aud as a gentleman he
waB in every way worthy ot the high esteem in
which ho was held. His love for t'ae profession
to which all the best years of his Ufa were de
voted never abated, and playgoers were glad to
see him constantly slttlrsg before tho curtain
at tho theatres watching tho perform
ance with a critical but appreciative
eye, or to listen to his sage comments and com
parisons between tho way things are done how
and in the good old days when he was young.
He was also a tolerably regular attendant on the
courts, particularly when any case ot Interest
was on trial, and in this manner he was
wont to beguile the enforced leisure of bis
age, and to find amusement in the study
of human nature Mr. Thayer for soma
time pnst was failing in strength, although
he was atllicted with no particular
disease, ne appears to have simply died of old
age, and this morning he expired in the arms
of his son, peaceably and without a struggle.
He held a place in tho affections of many people
In this city such as none but a favorite and
esteemed actor can hold, and more sincere
sorrow will be felt at his death than if he had
been engaged in almost any other pursuit.

Monday. April 4, 1870. (
The unsettled condition of our national finan
ces Is beginning to produce its natural fruit,
and the wonder is that tho effect has been so
long postponed. Rumors of many failures in
the large business centres all over the country
are constantly reaching us, and our own city
has unfortunately furnished us several illustra
tions during tho past week. In most instances
these failures are the indirect results of the dis
turbance of public confidence caused by tho
dllatoriness of Congress in settling tho impor
tant questions now before it, and which are
apparently as far from a settlement as when
first agitated. What the ultimate result of fur
ther procrastination may be, it is difficult to
foretell, but it cannot fall to crush out the lost
surviving hope of an active spring trade. The
announcement that the Supreme Court, with
two new judges on the bench, will reconsider,
on the 12th instant, the late decision on tho
Legal-tender act, and probably reverse it, is
calculated to bring the court into contempt and
add to the general distrust.
The Loan market is exceedingly dull, and
money is abundant and easy, .and likely to be for
seme time to come.
Geld opened this morning at 111, and at
noon stood at 1HK The market is dull.
Government bonds are also quiet and some

slight advance and others a decline as compared
with Saturday afternoon.
At the Stock Board the transactions were
small, but we notice little change in values.
State bonds were quiet: small sales of sixes, first
series, at 103, and of the second do. at 100. In
City Joans there were somo small transfers ot

The French Crisis.
Paris, April 4 3-so P. M. It is now tolerably esr-
taln that the solution of the question for tbe sub
mission of the new order of things to a vote of Us
people will be deferred for a time, and the misun
derstanding between the Ministry and the Cham
bers oa this subject will therefore be avoided.
The strike at La Creutzot continues, but no colli
sion has yet occurred between the rioters had the
troops. The radical party are working hard to In
sure the success of Ulrlo Fonveille, who Is a candi

Logau s would increase the expenditure for army
purposes about three millions.

Continued from the Third Mdition.
Mr. Banks moved to saspend the rules so as to
put on its passage the Senate joint resolution for
tue appouumeat oi au .xauuuer oi claims ror the
State Department, and for additional clerks.
Mr. Dawes objected to this Urst step to Increase
expenditures, and to create new otllces.
The rules were not suspended.
Mr. Cox offured a resolution calling on the Secre
tary of the Treasury to report what changes have
been made recently by the Collector of Customs at
New York, with reference to the cartage of goods,
the reasons for changes, and whose Interests are
affected favorably or unfavorably thereby. Adopted.
Mr. iDgersoll oil'ered a resolution instructing the
Post Otllce Committee to luquire into the expediency

Mr. Maynsrd introduced a iolnt resolution In re
ference to the sinking of the rutted States steam
ship Oneida by collision with the British steamship
Bombay, oif the port of Yokohama, directing the
Secretory;of the Navy to order an inquiry to be made
into the particulars, with a view to ascertain the re
sponsibility lor jhe collision and consequent destruc
tion of life, and report the same to Congress.
Mr. Schenck suggested a modification of the reso
lution, so as to make the Investigation extend to the
couduct of the captain of the Bombay. He was not
at all certain thn the Oneida was not In fault in
producing the collision, but he thought the conduct
of the British vessel after the collision a much
graver oilense.
The resolution was modified accordingly, and
passed.
Mr. Julian Introduced a bill for the protection of
settlers on the public lauds.
Mr. Conger oil'ered a resolution declaring that the
policy of the Government adopted iu 1S24 aud since
that time pursued, of aiding lu the improvement of
rivers and harbors, has been of great advantage to
the agricultural, manufacturing, aud commercial
interests should be adhered to; but that In the pre
sent financial condition of the country only such
appropriations for the purpose should be made aa
are necessary to preserve and keep in repair
the public works already completed, or those In
process of construction, or such works as add
greatly to tbe facilities of commerce, cheapen trans-
fioiiation. or provide harbors of refuge, or such
mprovements of a general character or special Im
portance as would sutler materially from postpone
ment or suspension. Adopted.
Mr. Schenck roBe to move to go into committee
on the Tarlil' bill, but yielded to Mr. Porter, to offer
a resolution reciting that tbe orders and decrees of
the United States Circuit Courts for Virginia are
sought to be nullified by ihe counter orders of the
State Courts, and are forcibly resisted by certain
pretended usurping persons who have by f oroo taken
possession of the municipal offices In hlchraoud,
under a State law that has been decided by the Cir
cuit Court to be in conilict with the Constitution of
Virginia; also reciting that the Governor. Legisla
ture, aud Judiciary iiave eutered into a conspiracy
to destroy tbe Constitution of the State and to
deny contemptuously and to resiit forcibly the exe
cution of tbe orders of tho U. S. Circuit Court
and instructing the Keconstructinu Committee to
Inquire Into the facts and report what legislation la
necessary to put down the ltebellion (laughter on
tbe Democratic side), and to maintain the authority
of the National Government lu Virginia.
Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) objected.
Mr. Porter moved to suspend the rules for the In
troduction and adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Brooks moved that the House adjourn and
called for the yeas and nays, remarking that if time
was to bo wasted that was a safer way of wastlugiU
The yeas aud nays were ordered.
Mr. Schenck said that as the resolution was going
to cause delay, he must insist on the gentleman from
Virginia withdrawing I. ,
Mr. Porter accordingly withdrew the resolution.

FROM NEW YORK.
The Rlerarland Trial.
Continued from the Third nation.
W illlam Eddleson aud Henry Morrison were ap
pointed triers by the Court, and Mr. Graham pro
ceeded to examine Wlngate; He had never seen
Richardson ; attended Frothingham's church ; know
Frothtngham ; was aware that Frothlngham was
censured for his connection with the ceremony at
mo flHir iietiHe ; reaa anoui me aumr in the papers ;
could not tell whether it was a legal proceeding or
noi; na no opinion or nenci aoout llie mutter, not
knowing enough about It: did not care two (drawn
about what other people thought about the matter ;
in ixMimo mini, no reau pruuueeu au impression OQ
his mind.
Mr. Garvin then examined the Juror who stated
be wm Impartial and could render a fair verdict.
The case was then summed up.
Mr. Graham, addressing the triers, said that if
there was any truth In what the Juror had stated, ho
was the most extraordinary specimen of humanity
that ever tried to get on a Jury. He must have had
some motive urging him to seek and to thrust him
self into a position from which men of his years
generally shrink. He conceived that It was Impos
sible that any man should not hare read accounts of
the transaction In the papers and not have formed
an opinion In regard to it. He was therefore at a
loss to account for the juror's answers and was)
forced to think he was concealing something ami
that he was net In that unbiassed state or mind
essential to a juror.
Another thing to cause suspicion was that Mr.
Wlngate was anxious to get on the jury, which of
Itself was sufficient to prove bin, and he also ad
mitted that he was acquainted with one of the prin
cipal actors in the blasphemous ceremony at the
Astor House.
The Recorder charged the triers that they were to
decide upon tbe evidence submitted to them whe
ther or not the Juror had a bias agalnBt the accused.
The triers rendered a verdict that the Juror was
Indifferent.
The defense then challenged peremptorily.
The next juror called was Kdwiu C. Marshall,
painter, who, having been sworn, testified that ha
had formed an opinion, and was directed to stand
aside.
Charles R. Carpenter, flour dealer, sworn and ex
amined, testified that he had expressed an opinion;
had no scruples about finding a verdict or guilty In a
canltal case.
The District Attorney challenged for principal
cause, the jnror having expressed an opinion.
In answer to a question, Carpenter stated his opi
nion was formed from reading newspapers; if hn
at as a Juror, he should decide altogether by the
evidence.
The Reynolds Case.
New York, April 4. Judge Ingraham to-day de
nied the motion for a stay of proceedings and a writ
of error In the case of Jack Reynolds, the murderer.
There Is now hardly any doubt but that tbe execu
tion will take place on Friday.
FROM THE WEST.
The Ohio Election.
Cleveland, April 4. The election throughout this
Scate Is progressing quietly, the vote being light.
The colored voters are availing themselves of the
franchise, and are electioneering with a vim. They
are almost unanimous for the Republican ticket.
A REAL SENSATION.
A Dnel with Itlfles at Thirty Paces.
A despatch to tbe San Francisco Bulletin from
Los Angeles (March 25) says:
The quiet of the past few days was occasioned
perhaps by the subsiding of the mining excite
ment, but It gave place this morning to a real
sensation. At daybreak, just without tho city
limits, a regularly appointed duel was fought.
Tbe social position of the parties has only
heightened tho interest connected with tho
all air. The principals were John B. Wilson,
son of Senator B. D. Wilson, , and Charles
. Beane, late of the Confederate service, and
prominently connected with the press of this
city. Tbe fend seems to have originated in a
Eolitical dispute, upon Tuesday evening last,
eated by frequent Indulgences In wine. Both
are said to have used harsh language. Mr. Wil
son, as tbe most aggrieved, sent the challenge.
George II. Howard acted as his second, And
Major Baldwin as second for Captain Beane.
The weapons chosen were Kentucky rifles,
the distance to be thirty paces.
Accompanied by a surgeon, the parties all
arrived on the ground punctually as agreed
upon. The place chosen was in a ravine, across
the Los Angeles river, a short distance oil tho
road leading to Arroyo Seco, a pleasure resort.
A more picturesque spot is scarcely to be found
in Southern California. Hill and dale are
strongly blended, and flat grassy plains lead
ing to the city, in the foreground, form a strong
contrast to the high peaks of the Coast
Range in the rear of the picture. The ground
was soon staked off, and the principals placed
In position. At a given signal each was to wheel
and fire. On giving the signal, Wilson turned
quickly and tired, but the rifle missed fire.
Beano, not so hurriedly, magnanimously with
held his shot, refusing the advantage.
Wilson's piece was reloaded, and on the next
order both wheeled and fired. Captain Beano
was unharmed; but Wilson's rifle was seen to
drop from his grasp, and It was thought he was
seriously hurt. A flesh wound in the left arm
was found to be all the injury sustained.
After an amicablo adjustment of the quarrel,
and an interchange of courtesies, the parties
departed.
No arrests have been made.
