THE M'COOLE SHOOTING CASE.
MIR. McCoole Shot in his own ssSaloou,,-He
Refuses TO Tell Who Did II,


About half-past II o'clock last night, says the
St. Louis Democrat OF Tuesday, the report OF
pistol was heard in McCoole's saloon, on Fifth
the door, and falling down the steps, was caught
in the arms of some OF the people passing. He
said he had been shot, and as he was bleeding
profusely from a wound over the left eye, he
was promptly taken to Alexander's drug store,
where the clerk was aroused and proceeded to
dress his wound.
Between fright and intoXication, the man was
perfectly unnerved, and nothing could be ascer-
tanned from him except that his name was John
A. Maffit; that he was from st. Charles county
Maryland; and that the police ought not to
allow HIM to be shot right in the city. The
spectators freely expressed their sympathy for
him, as it was supposed the wound had crazed
him.
After washing the blood from his face, how
ever, it was found that he had not been shot,
but struck with some heavy weapon on the left
eyebrow, in which was found a triangular cut
nearly an inch in length The curiosity of the
spectators was aroused, and most of them re-
turned to the saloon, In the rear of which they
found McCoole sitting with his left shirt-sleeve
rolled up, while DIR. Jones was probing pistol
wound in the left forearm near the elbow.
The curiosity of the crowd inceased, as they
knew Mafft had no pastel and could not have
wounded McCoole They accordingly crowded
around the giant, and eagerly listened while he
was questioned by the the policemen and re-
porters repsent.
Mike, however, declined to give any explana-
tion of the affair, and soon after arose, took
drink, and started for the doctors Office to have
the ball extracted.

ftable to him. Codes of ethics were instituted
by old fogies, with fossilized ideas of propriety,
and their object was TO keep the young men of
the profession under the thumbs of the old
ones, and that any of the former, who should
infringe them by advertising, should be put
down,
In the course of his remarks, DR.. Ellis heaped
considerable ridicule on the society, and defied
them in the most pronounced manner, saying
that he would violate the code of ethics again
and again. In his eyes the Dental Association
was simply mutual admiration society. In
conclusion, he thanked the members for the
reputation they had given him, for his practice
had doubled, and, instead of crushing him. as
they had intended to- they were putting money
into his pocket, and for every $40 paid to news
papers for advertising 300 had been returned to
him.
DR.. Cushing remarked that If one listened to
DR.. Ellis it would seem that the society and not
the doctor was on trial. Yet. such was not the
case. For one he was in favor of code of
laws, and believed in upholding it. DR.. Ellis
did not deny that he had violated the code, and
what was more, threatened to do SO again;
therefore he was in favor of expulsion, not on
individual grounds but the good of the society.
DR.. Ellis claimed that he had the support of the
public. Such he thought could not be the case
unless the public was deceived in the matter
which might be so, as DR.. Ellis had left nothing
undone to put the matter in false light.
The yeas and nays we're then called on the
resolution, and the vote resulted in unanimous
expulsion Chicago Tribune, July 12.

THE LATE LORD CLARENDON.
Despatch from Secretary Fish Cause of
DeaIl.

From the London Daily NelOs, Jttly2.
On hearing of Lord Clarendon's death Mr..
Fish sent to Mr.. Motley the following telegram:
'WAsHINGToN, June 27.-The death Of the
Earl of ClardeIdon removes statesman whose
fame belongs to the world, and whose loss will
be felt by other nations than that in whose be-
half he laboIed for the advance of civilization
and in the interests of peace. The President
tenders the sympathy of the people of the
United States to her Majesty and TO the British
people, and coincidence to those to whom the
loss brings personal grief"
The Lancet says the immediate cause of his
Lordship's death was diarrhea, which continued
for several days before he was seen by his usual
attendant, DR.. Baber. His Lordship could not
be prevailed upon to give up his official duties,
ipsomuch that when, on the evening of Satur-
day, the 35th ult.. DR.. 9. j. B. Williams was
summoned in consultation, he was found,
though very weak, still sitting up in bed
with several despatch boxes before him. Al
4 p. NJ. on Sunday the treatment had
proved so beneficial that DIR. Gull, who then
joined in consultation, entertained good hopes
of his recovery. At midnight, however, Dr.
Williams was summoned, and found his Lord
ship in sinking state, from which the free ad-
ministrauon of stimulants failed TO rouse him,

took the liberty of prefxing the title of Doctor
at one of our leading hotels, and announced
himself in flaming handbills and advertisements
competent to cure all the ills which flesh is heir
to. 1t is said that he duped good many peo-
pie, and procured considerable money; and after
some three months sojourn here during which
time some reports not creditable to the charac-
ter of high-minded physician were
circulated, he removed to Rochester and
held forth for a time. Recently he re-
turned to this city, and since his
advent here his pathway seems to have been
bestrewn with-thorns. A case viii be tried in
the police court which will bring to light new
and interesting developments. A morning con-
temporary relates something of the troubles into
which certain propensity has led him, and to-
day he called on US and asked the privilege of
making general denial through the columns of
the Journal of the rumor in circulation in regard
to him. This favor being denied him. he re-
quested that nothing should be said by us of his
disgraceful conduct with scrubbing women at the
Syracuse House, or of his still more disreputabe
acts on board Conductor Rudd's train yesterday,
between this city and Rome, where for insulting
a lady passenger he was violently taken to the
smoking car, where there were no ladies. We
will therefore omit any reference to these seve-
raj affairs till after the hearing before the court
which, we assure DR.. Paul Brennan, we have no
desire to prejudice. He promises to vindicate
himself from all the aspersions brought against
a gentleman and high-mnded physician" and
to that court we confde him without further
cOmment.-,SurdcuSe Journal, JuLu 10.

tory Accounts GoncerninR the Number Killed.

Particulars of the New York Riot-7Contradic-
The New York Post of last evening says:-
A conductor of an Eighth avenue car, who
was in the hottest of the fight, said that he had
seen on car 81 one dead and eight wounded per-
SONS, and on car so two dead. He was told that
one dead went down on car 81. At z o'clock
last night he saw a wagon going to Elm Park,
which the driver said was to bring away seven
dead men. Items of this sort have significance
in a case where there has been a riot and
either side wishes to conceal the number of
casualties.
The policeman stationed at One Hundredth
street saw carriage driven down with q wagon
tied behind. in which were two dead bodies
covered by blankets.
The police are confident that there were be-
tween two thousand and three thousand shots
fired. Said one:-'1t was nothing but crack,
crack, crack-regular artillery practice" The
boulevard where the men were at work was the
Grand Boulevard, an extension of Seventh
avenue from Fifty-Dinth street to One Hundred
and Tenth. There were probably four hundred
men at work there.
The police of the Thirty-frst precinct say
that Simultaneous with the arrival of the pro-
cession at Fifty-ninth street. there came there a
gang of 1ongshoremen, who persuaded the rest
to GO to the park.
John Johnson, Fenian, was brought to Belle
vue this morning, having been found by the police
at No. LA Mulberry street, suffering from
severe wounds on the head. When he arrived
at the hospital he was almost maniac from the
GUeCLS Oh uTlDk anu IL required Inc cHOrCS Oh
several men to hold him while his wounds were
dressed For a while afterwards he was quiet
but as he attempted to tear off the bandages he
was put into strait jacket. The wounded are
distributed through Wards z, 5, 10, II, and 16.
THE WOUNDS.
Most of the wounds are on the head. The
greater part of the injured present shocking
appearance, having evidently sustained their
injuries from paving stones. Many of them are
in such critical condition as to be unable either
to see or speak.
Besides those at present at the hospital, there
are many others. Nearly q dozen were taken
there last night suffering from slight wounds,
and left for their homes after having their
wounds dressed. Many others who were
wounded were taken home by their friends, and
of these the police have no record.
The women and children who were brutally
stoned in the cars by the rioters were removed
to their homes, where they were attended by
surgeons, and the police have no record of their
names.

other things, the great orator is represented as
saying that ''du hardened criminals became SO

Yesterday afternoon, Notwithstanding the
oppressive heat, goodly number of people at
tended the afternoon matinee in Woods Mu-
scum. Everything seemed to pass off swim
mingly, judging from the applause which was
elected at every stage of the play; but in an
instant the many merry faces were blanched,
the platform of the stage having given way dur
ing the performance.
Madlle Angela, European lady, has for some
nights past drawn a large concourse of people
to this place of amusement, her astonishing
athletic feats having given her the title of the

formance, Mad'lle Angela carries two strong and
heavy men around the stage on her back, and
in her hands she holds two ponderous weights.
During her performance yesterday afternoon
the flooring of the stage gave way, and the
female Samson had one leg buried in the debris,
while she sent her passengers brawling along
the stage.
Mad1le Angela screamed, and assistance was
Immediately at hand. She was extricated from
her perilous position. 1t was at one time
thought that one of her legs had been broken
but beyond few bruises she escaped injury
although she did not feel competent to continue

of this portion of the stage is that part of the
plank was rotten.-N Y. Sun, t0-ddy.

Expulsion of n Member of the Chicago Dental
Society for Advertising-It is Profitable but
A special meeting of the Chicago Dental
Society was held last evening at the dental
depot of s. s. White, in State street.
The special object of the meeting was the
consideration of charges preferred against DR..
j. Ward Ellis, for violation of certain sections
of the code of ethics having reference to the
subject of advertising.
RESOLUTION OF EXPULSION.
DIR. A. E. Brown, without any preliminary
action, offered the following resolution
Whereas, The charges which were preferred against
j. Ward Kills, member Of this society for VIOLA
tion OF its code of ethics, having been sustained by
the evidence as well as by said Ellis own profession
that he did knowingly and wilfully violate said code
OF ethics; and
charged this society, both In private and through
public advertisements with having instituted these
proceedings against him only because he had re-
Resolved, That inasmuch as no power exists under
our constitution and bylaws whereby member
this society not only disciaims the motives which
have been imputed to 1t by said Ellis, but character
ICES his conduct as unprofessiona and dshonorable
in the extreme, and hereby expes said J. Ward
Ellis from the Chicago Dental Society," not because
he has reduced his fees but simply because he has
violated, In the grossest manner the societys
organic law
The secretary then read the minutes of the
proceedings in the case, from which it appeared
that Br Ellis had advertised a reduction of rates
in a German paper. In pursuance of action
taken in this matter, committee of three was
appointed to take the charges under considera-
Lion. The committee, at a subsequent meeting,
reported that they found defendant guilty of a
violation Of article of the code of ethics,
reading as follows-
SIT is unprofessonal to resort to public advertise

other similar acts"
DIR. Ellis having been called upon to make a
defense remarked that he was willing TO be
candid, as 1t was probably the last time he
would address the society, and admit that he had
reduced his fees from war to peace rates, and
advertised the same in the daily papers, and
he could say that nothing had ever been 10 pro-

GENERALITIES.
MIR. Dickens'isobrIety.


Very silly are the bold assertions made in pull
pits of Mr.. Dickens constantly continued dlssi-
patton. The great writer left $400, ,000-every
farthing of it earned by hard and almost daily
literary toll. When do these critical and cleri-
cal gentleman suppose that men of letters do
their work? Such ISLANDERS refute themselves.
When clergymen have the dyspepsia they can
preach old sermons or "go to Europe" with all
their expenses paid by their affectionate focks;
but the work of a literary life is never done
until the doer has sunk to rest himself in his
grave. The world makes enormous demands
upon popular writers, and then wonders that
they sometimes seek relaxation of the kind
which is most agreeable to them. 1t may be,
often is, bad for them, but they are entitled to
charitable judgment.'

Christian Hess, q slender specimen of the Dutch
villain, was convicted Of assault and battery COM
mtted under the following circumstances: es:-Last
Friday night at II O'Clock Mr. James A. Gainor, with
his wife and child, was going going to Manayunk
in horse car, when the prisoner, also passenger,
suddenly made most indecent ASSAULT upon Mrs.
GainOr. Her husband asked what this meant and
he answered by knocking him down; he arose, how
ever, and seizng his assaant by the neck, held him
to the floor until he summoned policeman, to whom
he surrendered him.
VIM. H. Smith was convicted OF an assault and
battery with intent to kill VIM. II. Norris. On the
11th OF June Morris was lying asleep at tavern on
Barre street, when Smith stole his purse from his
pocket, awakening him. and as soon as he perceived
that Norris was about to edealt him two blows
upon the head with a blackjack, one OF which de-
stroyed his left eye. The Judge at once gave him
his dues by sentencing him to the Eastern Peniten-
tary for five years.
The District Attorney then called for trial the case
OF two young men, George Breiner alias Brendt and
John Lyle alias Lifty, charged with burglary in
entering the residence of William Rosstein at Six
absent from the city. TWO young lawyers, Messrs.
Hepburn and Stroud appeared for the prisoners and
under VARIOUS St 70 nave the case
were away, by whom they expected to prove many
important facts, but when the prisoners were called
upon to state under oath, what they wished
to show by these witnesses, they had not the gump
ton sustain the statements OF their attorneys.
For instance, one of them said he would prove by
woman that several articles traced to his possess
sion did not belong to him. such as candles, spoons,

that belongs to u.s." All the other efforts made by
the attorneys were senced by the Judge saying per-
emptoTily, '"This cause may proceed to trial."
Two police officers testified that at 12H O'Clock in
the morning OF the 7th instant an alarm was given
that thieves were in Mr. Rosstens house, and pro-
ceedng to the place they found 1t tightly secured,
but light was in the second story. They rang the

the burglars were on the roof. The onlcers,
however, went in and found the bureau
tops taken OF and things scattered all about the
moor and in the second-story room found jimmy.
They hastene to the top of the house, and on the
adjacent roof found our heroes crouching behind the
chimney. One Of them was minus boots, and they were
found to be well supplied with Matches candles aud
keys.
Ordinary persons would call this conclusive case
against the boys but at the close OF our report their
attorneys were striving to mould the facts favorahy
to the theory of innocence.
