A HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS WIFR-At late
hour Saturday night, J ames Murphy, a laborer
employed st the gas works, while in q state
OF intoxication, entered his house in Lsfay-
cite place, and, after a few words with his
wife relative 10 some family m tier, took n
musket from closet, and Immediately dis.
charged it toward his wife. The gun, it is
said. was last loaded on the 4th Of July, the
charge being buck and ball." aud consisting
OF q large round bullet with three buckshot
The ball took effect in the wife's left breast,
while one OF the shot entered her left arm, an
other grazed her left shoulder, while the third
made q slight wound on the temple. DIR. Hall
attended the woman and dressed her wounds,
which he pronounces as severe but not dan
gerous. Immediately after discharging the
musket, Murphy fed, and the police mad a
long search for him, but at an early hour yes-
terday morning he returned 10 his house, and
was there arrested by Of1cers French and
Rogers, OF the first police, w no committed him
TO the Tombs to await examination.
Murphy states his wife was habitually
drunk, causing him a great deal OF trouble,
but he had no intention OF shooting, but only
OF frightening her. The wife states that Muir
ply found fault with her because there was
no kerosene In the house.-Boston Transcript.

IHR WORKING PEOPLR-1t is reported that
reduction OF ten per cent. in the wages of some
OF the Hartford factory employees has been
rendered necessary by the dulness of business.
Similar dulDess 10 trade is reported from Great
Britaip and it is stated that no less than twenty
to thirty thousand men connected with the iron
trade on 'he Clyde have been thrown out Of
employ ment, owing to the successful competi-
tion OF foreign with the home manufacture OF
the British Isles. In Brooklyn, the strike
amoEg the printers continues, but the BROOK
lyn journals are got out by the labor of amateur
compositors, the editors and other employees
having gone to work in the composing rooms.
The striking compositors are said to have dis
covered that some OF the papers in New York
lent their type to the Brooklyn papers after
they had used it themselves, and considering
that this was giving aid and comfort to their
enemies, they posted circulars on the bulletins
on Monday calling upon the compositors OF
the New York papers that had lent type to
drop their work and take sides with them.
This does not appear to have had any effect,
however. There Is also printers strike in
Memphis, the compositors Of the Bulletin, of
that city, having left their stands. Some COM
positors from Nashville having gone to Mem
pbis to take the place Of these strikers, fight
ieok place between the two bodies of printers,
in which two men were severely Wounde1.
At last accounts the old hands Of the Memphis
Bulletin had returned to work.
