DUELLISTS OF WAR TIMES. Yankee and Confederate Meet for First Time Since War. Richmond. Va.. November 4.? Standing in the lobby of a hotel during the visit to Richmond of the Pennsylvania's who attended the unveiling of a monument at Cold Harbor, several days ago, was Captain E. D. Christian, a well known Confederate veteran of the Forty-first Virginia regiment, who was enter taining a number of the visiting Federal veterans with an account of a duel he had in 1862 with a Pennsylvanian near what is known as "The Cowpens." now the Mechanicsville Pike. "In some way." said Captain Christian, "we were coming through a field cut apart by a long line of rail fence. As we approached the fence we sawcoming towards us a line of bluecoated soldiers. Before I knew it I was face to face with a Yankee who was sending balls at me, but luckily aiming wrong. I loaded my musket time and again and we had it there face to face. Presently the Yankee mounted the fence to get a better whack at me for I was as bad a shot as he in the excitement of that duel. Well, gentlemen, down came the rail fence and down came the Yankee, sprawling on the ground. He managed to get up as my old musket banged away, but the ball never i touched him. "Wait a moment," interrupted one of the visitors, "and I'll tell you the rest of the story." All eyes turned toward the military form of Captain W. H. Rauch, a Philadelphian, who i was the center of the listeners to : Captain Christian's story. ""Well," continued Captain Rauch, < "the Yankee just took to his heels at that and you after him. You fired s as long as he was in sight and he ran i as long as his legs would hold him up. The only reason he did not fly 1 50 i was because he was a man and not a i bird." 1 "That's about right," said the Con- < p?' federate and then the two men faced i each other with eyes glued on the ! rl' faces that had seen the changes of i nearly half a century. i "Hell, man," Captain Rauch I ^ cried, finally breaking the intense; stillness, "are you the Johnny Reb that had that duel with me and came j near making me a prisoner or put-1 / ting me out for good?" "If you are the man who jumped !s on that fence and fell, and then got ( up and ran while a Confederate solV .dier sent bullets after you to help ] move, I guess we have met before." "If any other man had been in my 5 it place and had not put up a good ( gv run," replied Captain Rauch. "he|{ would have been a fool. Why that j1 |gU old thing you were handling looked j] t. as big as a cannon and sounded like' i two or three of them." f . Following this the veterans shook 1 hands and Captain Rauch took Cap- \ tain Christian in tow to introduce him to his wife. Then Captain and J ' Mrs. Rauch had to get into Captain ? Christian's automobile and the end \ was that Mrs. Christian got a tele- phone call to have dinner ready for * two extras. The party spent the 1 !><.- evening in the handsome home of ( Captain Christian, who had to prom- ( s&j ise a visit to the Rauch home in 1 Philadelphia. 1 Before leaving Richmond Captain \ i'-y Rauch declared that he would not have missed meeting Captain Chris- { tian for all his worldly possessions. ^ "I have never forgotten that rebel," 1 ? said he, "and I see him now in my 3 mind's eyes with his big old-time 1 musket plugging away at me as * though I were of no more good to the ' world than any ordinary animal."? ] % Illustrated Record.

In all of the great ] lumber regions of the country, the < saw mill has taken the cream of the ; forest products, fire has taken the ] rest, and in no case has any State or ] region long held supremacy in the < great business of lumber production, i me iourin greatest, interest ui tiie i country. Under rational forest man- : agement and protection from fire , there is no reason why a State naturally endowed with forests and occupying a high rank in the production of lumber should not continue to i hold its position. But the history of the lumber business of the United States has been, from the beginning, a repetition of exploration, exploitation, and exhaustion. The sequence has been due primarily to fire.?Bristow Adams. 5LVv Young Girls are Victims of headache, as well as older women, but all get quick relief and prompt cure from Dr. King's New Life Pills, the world's best remedy for sick and nervous headches.

Trio of Negroes Strip and Whip Farmer and Attack his Wife. Sutton. W. Va.. Nov. 4.?Two organized parties of men are scouring the hills of this countv searching for two negroes believed to have aided Charles Lewis, also a negro, in a dastardly assault upon Mrs. Mary Lockhold. wife of a prosperous farmer, today near the small settlement of Exchange. If the negroes are caught lynching is not improbable. Lewis, the only know a member of the party of three, who are thought to have been implicated in the deed, is dead, having been shot and killed by a posse of men late today while endeavoring to escape, near this place. According to Deputy Sheriff Williams, the three negroes late last night went to the home of George Lockhold, living but a few miles from this place and after tying the farmer to a tree and whipping him on his bare back with willow switches attempted an assault upon Mrs. Lockwold. Persons who happened to be passing the Lockhold farm heard the screams of the woman and the negroes fled at the approach of the passersby. A posse of farmers was organized within a short time and after a twenty-four hour hunt, Lewis, one of the supposed trio of negroes, was apprehended. As he turned to flee from his pursuers, after being ordered to throw up his hands, he was shot and instantly killed. Late last night news reached here that one of the pursuing posse surrounded the two negroes in a swamp near the scene of the crime. The courier who brought the news of the imminent apprehension of the men said lynching could not be averted if they were caught alive. At midnight a telephone communication was received from Gassaway stotirnr that npprnps fhmicht tft have been implicated in the assault an Mrs. Lockhold had been captured near that place and placed in jail. Men with rifles are said to be guarding the jail against a possible lynching party. Beaten for Demanding Wages. Greensboro. N. C., Nov. 4.?A special from Wadesboro. N.
