A MIDSHIPMAN’S CHALLENGE r* It Wat Accepted by the Lawyer, and the Battle Wae Fought In Delaware, fiad Fate of the Two Prineipate In the Unfortunate Meeting. TlfnI settlement of quarrele by appeal to the code of honor was no longer to Ik- the unwritten law of the American navy was determined by a duel In wulcb William Miller. Jr, a Philadelphia lawyer, was slain In a personal a {fair tough! along the northern circle of Delaware. The man who fired the faial shot was Midshipman Charles G. Hunter, end the encounter took place along Neauian'e creek on the afternoon f Sunday. March 2L HkM. Singularly .enough, neither Miller. Who lost hi* life, nor Hunter, who killprincipal In the original quarrel that led to the meeting on the ■ -reek In Delaware. Neither had seen the other until a few our* before the' challenge was sent nd accepted. Simply n mhshot In a game of billiards played al Third and Chestnut Phi-adelphia. led to the tragedy that plunged two homes Into sorrow and imbittcred the life of the man a boso pistol shot causelessly shed bu-

uau blood.

Henry Wharton Grlfflth and R. Dllon Drake, prominent society men of I'bilancipb'a. played the game of blllards, and (irlfflth made the tnlsabot which called forth a taunt from Drake, who was Immediately struck In the face with a cue by Grlfflth. A challenge to a duel was sent by Drake, but Griffith declared that- the challenger was beneath bis notice and that he would not demean himself socially by onsenting to meet him. Then followed a long and wordy wt fare In which each posted the other a coward. Lieutenant Duryee of the rutted States navy was called an effort to settle the dispute, and It was then that Miller, the lawyer, and Hunter, the midshipman, became Involved In tbe qt discussion Hunter accused Miller of publishing a confidential letter, and challenge was at once sent by tbe midshipman and accepted by tbe attorney. It was decided that tbe duel should be fought early on Sunday morning of March 21. but It was nearly 10 ' ' ' before carriages containing the principals. seconds and surgeons left that stood on Chestnut street above Sixth. The presence of excited some suspicion where tbe party stopped for lunch, but they hurried down the pjtt rood, tied their horses close to the highway and proceeded 200 yards behind a clump of tree* that would shield them from ob-

servation.

As the sou was setting two pMol shots rang out simultaneously as «M of the seconds counted "One. two. three —fire!'' Hunter stood unharmed as tbe ball from his opponent's pistol struck at his feet, hut Miller cried oot that he was shot, placed one hand on his breast and fell with a bullet lying dose to Uls heart. In a few minutes be died, while pale and anxious faces watched the convulsive breathing of

tbe dying man.

••Gentlemen.'' said Hunter, "1 had no enmity against this man. 1 never heard of him until two days ago. Let those whose «|Uarrel embroiled him be responsible for bis death.” After a hurried consultation It was decided that the midshipman should the state at once, and be was driven rapidly to New Castle. Del, •here be boarded a boat for New York and rejoined tbe navy. In order to ide tbe tragedy It was decided to wait mtll dark and t.ika Miller to Philadel-

FEAR OF GHOSTS. Harmless Visiters From Wham W# All •brink la Tarvor. Drop down Id tlw heart of man there abides a firm belief In the power of the dead to walk upon tbe earth and affright. If such 1>* their pleasure, tba ton Is of the llrtng. Wise folks, rersed lu the sciences and fortified In mind agalnat faith in aught that savors of the suiienirtural. laugh Ideas of th* kind to ecorn. yet hardly one of them will dare to walk alone through a graveyard in the night, cr If one be found ao bold be will surely hasten his footsteps, unable wholly to subdue the fear of sheeted specters which may •tee from the grass grown graves or merge from moonlit tombs and follow on. for. atrungely enough, the dead. If not actually hostile to tbe living, am esteemed dangerous and dreadful te ancountar. It used to be tbe fashion, says a writer In Uppineott's Magazine, to sweep away all such notions by saying that they had their origin In the childhood of the race and that they sprang from fear of the unknown. This nnqneetlonably was tbe easiest way to dtepose of them, but was It fair? The subject |,oa*esscs Intense Intrreit for a great majority of mankind, and. though tbe existence of ghosts Is unproved, there te undeniably a vast deal of te»tlmony In their behalf that deserves •erlous and respectful considenltlon. Fortunately, within tbe last few years the attitude of science toward the problem baa altogether changed, and. actuated by a new spirit of Inquiry, the wise men have'bean engaged, thought fully and without prejudice. Id studying It out While It cannot be said that any final and definite conclusions have as yet been reached, an Immense amount of evidence has been sifted, enough to show pretty conclusively for one point that the traditional specter of tbe Cock Lane school, with clanking chain and attributes disagreeably suggeottre of the grave, baa do baste In fact On tbe other hand, there are certain phantoms, altogether different In their characteristics. In whose behalf a mass of testimony te adduced far greater than would be required to establish complete proof In any ordinary case In a court of law. Nothing short of absolute demonstration lu such a mi can be satisfactory, bat the evidence In question certainly staggers Incre-

dulity.

Our fear of phantoms appear* to spring from a dread of tbe unknown, the mysterious and tbe Intangible. That It to a groundless terror te proved by tbe fact that In many thousands of casee of alleged spectral appearance* subjected during tbe teat few year* painstaking Investigation not a aim Instance has been found In which an Injury was Inflicted by tbe ghost upon person or persons to whom It presented Itself. Bo thst. even If w# are accept apparitions as veritable, we ought to regard them with cariosity rather than with apprehenaloQ. and Instead of trying to avoid such supernatural rial tore we should eagerly seek an opportunity to be haunted for the sake of observing for ourselves phi - omens so intensely interesting
