From, the Richmond Dispatch Jen{e 29
One of the moat extiaordinary murd-
er.
urd-er . that has ever fallen to the lot of
Virginian journalists -to chronicle was
committed in Henrica County on Sun-
day last. It was a duel, in which two
negro -woolen - -were - the belligerent
parties, and .of which jealousy was the
moving cause.
The .man in the case was one George
Gills a field hand. Until a few months
.
ago Julia. Ann Gills, who lives on aa.
neigiibou iia; plantation; was the hap-,
g
PY possessor of his affection, .and al-
though never unite('' .by the parson,
they were living together, in the slave-
ry fashion, as man .and wife. Like
mostmarrif•d people, they were sup`-
posed to be h ippy in the connubial re-
lation, until one black- day, wuen. the
shining star of Ella Woodson arose Up -
en George's borison, and this sable
beauty won his heart, and he—a naugh-
ty . ma.0-flung t'othei one's away.
To cut a a ad story short, George's area-
torial advances eulwinated: in. the de-
sertion of Julia; his first love, and his
taking up with Ella, whose . heart he
soon had gained,- They backbit each:
other, they sneered, they quarreled,
they : threatenied, and, finally, they
.fought it out in a line rather' pew in
the history of female pugilistic encoa.-
ters:
On Sunday rcorniing Julia's wrath
boiled overeand,,no longer able to re-
strain her tennpei , she went over to the
" negro quarters" on Colonel Knight's
place and, standing at the . door, boldly
-challenged her rival to a fail fight, with
nobody to interfere. Ella promptly
took the `gauntlet up, and together they
went to the duellingground, without
the seconds or surgeons who generally
accompanymore civilized' persons en-
gaged upon such murderous errands.

A Fatal Prize Fight.
"Syracuse, June, 15. ---A: terribleaffair

on Saturday. Two men, named Donn
Elly i n. t -McGuire, had soiree `dispute
with regard to their physical strength.
Donnelly, who was a large, . heavily
built au, of no paiiculer pugilistic
skill, had frequently boasted tha„ he
was able to 'lick' McGuire, who was a
stout wiry man 'w:ei;�lrin.g some thirty

preliminaries were arranged and small

:result. The fi gh t gook place on Sat-
ur day,, afcei moon, at Ogden's (leek, _on
the west side of Cayuga Lake: A
crowd of several hundred personas" were

umpire were chosen, and the 'fight then
began. The first round -;gas s, long and

the third round Donnelly forced the
fighting. McGuire !sprang away, but
was finally l�aocked through the -ropes.
The fourth opened with signs of

A jury of inquest, summoned by

of the bloody deed,. and gave an account

claimed that it was perpetrated in self

accused was brought to town and long-
ed in a- cell at the jail, where she will
remain until next Saturday, when the
case will be investigated by a Court of
