PnbluilieB an Apology. Iu Lexington. LEXINGTON, Blackburn's card is believed to be the end of the Blackburu-Rucker duel business. How the came to write the card, which is' capable of wide construction, is A mystery may always remain so. That he had a consultation with friends on the subject there is no doubt Whether this consultation was the result of a communication from Judge Ruckeris not known.

It is certain, that CoL Moore, of Denver, has not been here. The point of Senator Blackburn's card is in the following: "I shall always insist that Judge Rucker's conduct in making public a conversation had with the president in an interview procured tor him by me was wholly inexcusable. His report of that conversation was entirely inaccurate. I regret, however, that the language I used in characterizing his conduct strong and emphatic, and will say upon reflection, that I should have simply contented myself with a contradiction of statements I knew to be incorrect and unjust to Mr. Cleveland and myself.

As for myself, this matter is ended, and I have no doubt the public will be glad to know it." The man alleged to be Col. J. C. Moore, bearer of dispatches from Judge Rucker to Senator Blackburn, turns out to bo a drummer. DEXVEII, Nov.

Bosros, Nov. lives los is the record thus far of the storm on tht Massachusetts coast Fifteen men were los on the Edward Norton at Scituate, one on the Oliver Dyer at Portsmouth, two from the Halifax steamer Carroll, and three each fron tho schooners Walker, Avelon and Higginson Almost all the wrecks so far reported are on the shore of Massachusetts. Telegraphic communication with Cape Cod has not ye been restored, and, as the storm was mos violent there, according to reports given by the incoming steamers, it is feared that the list of wrecks is as yet by no means complete.

The cable connecting Nantucket with the main land has parted and no news is obtain able from that island. The Pollock Rip and Cross Rip lightship are adrift COHASSET, Nov. day wreck- ago has been drifting ashore at this point The coast is very rocky aucl the weather is still so thick it is impossible to sea more than a few hundred yards from shore, but it is the universal opinion that tho steam collier Ailentown, from Philadelphia, has gone to pieces on the ledges outside. There can be no doubt that all on board are lost, as the coast is closely patrolled, anc if any had reached the shore they wonlc havo been discovered almost immediately. The nature of the wreckage seems to indicate clearly the loss of the vessel, for it is such as would not be floating bad not the whole ship gone under water.

There is a good quantity of bedding, life preservers housetops, spars and furniture that woulc not be able to get loose except in the sinking of the ship. JEKSKY CITY, Nov.

Moore Evidently a Winner. NEW YORK, Nov. comparatively pleasant weather last evening hod tuo effect of materially increasing the attendance at Madison Square garden. Many people who are aware of tho fact that the second day is tho critical time in a six day's contest were on hand to see how the men bore their continual jog. Of the forty-three original entries only nineteen r.mauied, and seven of these were only nominally in the race.

Dan Herty received a magnificent horseshoe from John L. Sullivan, whereupon the gentlemen present cheered lustily, and the hundreds of pretty women, who were on hand to see the heroes of the track and hear their footfalls' music, waived their delicately scented handkerchiefs. Dan tugged the big gift around for several laps, after which core- lul Trainer McDonald took it away from him. Moore had mapped out 240 miles work for the first forty-eight hours, and he received warm encouragement as he rapidly accom plished it Champion Albert occupied a box during tho evening, and smiled his compliments on the Standard Oil man's performance. The Marquis of Queensberry arrived shortly before 10 o'clock.

He gracefully removed his hat in response to tho rapturous plaudits of the reporters opposite his box. There renewed applause when the haughty paer gracefully tossed a new "fiver 1 to "Old Sport" Moore finished his fifty-eight hours'task at 11:30 o'clock, and left the track in a graceful trot, looking ranch fresher than any other man in the lot, with the possible exception of Herty, who does not appear to be under the slightest strain. The race for first money seems to lie between these two. Barring accidents, one of them is certain to finish at the head of the string. Hart still retains his fonnmarvel- ously, and knowing ones hint that he is much too good a dark horse to run unbacked.

Cartwright continues to hang on Herty's heels, but he is not in such good shape as the other three men. latUewood still plods gamely along, seriously handicapped by a very troublesome stomach. People who played him to win are now quietly hedging. THE WISDOM OF SILENCE. Gen.

Harrleon'e Cautions bnt Reassuring Reply to Southern Editor. GREENVILLE, S. Nov. Daily News, of this city, prints a letter recently received by its editor from Gen. Harrison and published by his permission.

It is a reply to a letter urging that the southern commercial interests would be relieved from an incubus caused by doubts and fears regarding the southern policy of the coming administration if Gen. Harrison would make some general assurances of his purpose to follow a conservative course toward the south, and is as follows: IXDIJLNATOLIS, NOV. 14. To A. Greenville, S.

My DEAR letter of the 10th lias been received. I am not ready to make any public utterances upon any public question. Every day I am solicited by special correspondents of Uie press to speak upon this subject, or that, but I have Invariably declined, and to your appeal for some expression upon the question that interests you I must, for the present, make the same answer. I understand that you have yourself been satisfied with the expressions made by me in my public utterances to visiting delegations during tlie campaign. When.the surprise aud disappointment which some of your people have felt over the result has passed away, and they give more calm thought to tie situation, I tbinkthey will be as much surprised as I am that they should in thought or speech impute to me unfriendliness toward the south.

The policies in legislation advised by the Republican party, I believe, are wholesome for the whole country, and if those who iu their hearts believe with us upon these questions would act wiUi us some other questions that give you local concern would settle themselves. Very truly yours, BENJAMIN- HAIUIISON. A Duel In Central Park.

In the morning he sa' for his picture and subiaitttd to the manipulation of the photographer seventeen times. All the tft.rnoMi ivcs conferring at his house with Senators Allison and Spooueranc ex-Senator BewuiL At 4 he walked to the Sew Denuisou with tho first two. Senator Allison left for Washington at 5. Senator Spooner Ijft for Chicago at IL He proceeds thence to Washington. The result of tho visit of Senators Allison and Spooner is a clearer understanding thai there will be no delay in pushing the senate tariff Mil, but nothing but idle gossip was contributed to the cabinet discussions.

The town knew that the conferences were more important than any yet held at the president-elect's, for two United States senators have not turned up together here before, and no visitors have stayed at the general's house for four hours together before. The senators, both before and after they visited Gen. Harrison, talked tariff, and they all talked in some way, and it can truthfully be said, therefore, that not only that the senate bill is the best indication of what the future, as well as the past tariff policy of the Republican party is, but also that Republicans enst and west agree that it is properly so. Senator Allison said that he had merely stopped over on his way to the capital, and added, with charming innocence, that there was no politics in his visit It would not be proper, ho him to volunteer the information that he should not take a place in the cabinet. There is, in truth, nothingabout tliis visit that indicates that he will.

"We shall push the tariff bill as fast as possible when we get back to work," he said "It is a pretty good bill, is it not!" -'Ol course some slight amendments may be found to bo necessary."

Mr. Jamc March, the execution creditor, at thi.

critical juncture, arose and uotifiei the Sheriff that he did not fo the present wish to see the road sold stating that his interests would be jeop irdized thereby, as he held a jiulgmen claim of $35,003.40 against tliis moribund corporation. A wrangle soon arose amoug the attorneys, and fiually the sale vta postponed until Friday, Nov. 30, at o'clock, when another effort will be madt to sell the road, and when it is expectoc that Gen. Gobiu, Sir. March's attorney will be present to represent him, Mr.

Gobin having been absent attend to a case that was to have been arguei before Attorney General Kickpatrick, Harrisburg. Within the past few weeks considerable interest has been awakened in the olt South Mountain road, and it is firmly be lieved by many that if oueo tho financia straits in which the road is involved couk be settled, tha would be at once constructed. The South Mountain holds an important position. It was ehartereil in 1854, and 81,000,000 soent in grading and other work. Several sheriffs have sold it.

Tha last time it was purchased by Senator Gobin for $50. A bridge has been completed at Poughkeepsic, New York, this road chartered ard is now under construction to extend from near Poughkeepsie to Slatington, the Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsee and New England, of which W. W. Gibbs, of Philadelphia, is President. It would tap the great slate regions of Pennsylvania and through territory much of which is not now touched by railroads.

There are many who believe that it will soon be built, as the fight for its possession shows there is money back of it. There are three claimants to the franchise of the road, each alleging ownership nndor a different sale, viz: The Philadelphia railroad company, tho Hurris- Jtirg Eastern railraad company and Mr Jame March, of this city. A dispatch yesterday from Harrisburg lays: "The talk of the construction of South Mountain railroad, between tlarrisburg and Eastern points, has been revived by the appearance of an engineer corps at this point. A large portion ef the roadway between Hamburg and Har- risbnrg is graded and many thousands of dollars were expended." St. Katharine's Guild.
