Young Man Accidentally Shot by a
Lady.
From the Nashville (Tenn) Banner, June15
The remains of Mr.. Charles Wallace were
brought to the city yesterday evening. He had
been staying for some time at the house of Mr..
Jacob Judd, his relation, who resided near Dry
Creek, twenty miles from Nashville. Three
quarters of a mile off lived Miss Anna Winham,
to whom he was betrothed. He paid her visit
on Tuesday afternoon, and while at her house
volunteered to repair gate. gimlet
being required for the work, both
went to the shelf upon which such
things were kept. Lying on the shelf, Miss
Winham found a revolver and picked 1t up,
when Mr.. Wallace remarked that it un-
loaded he having handled it before. At that
moment the weapon was accidentally dis
charged, the ball taking effect in his temple.
He exclaimed, "Anna, you have shot me, and
fell to the floor. On realizing what she had
done, Miss Winham covered her face with her
hands, shrieked II have killed him." and
tainted. She has been delirious ever since the
sad occurrence, and the only words she utters
are II have killed him." Last night she was in
a very critical condition, and il is feared she will
never recover from the shock.
Mr.. Wallace never spoke after he was shot,
and expired at about o'clock that evening.
Miss Winham's brother had previously loaded
the revolver, fact of which she and Mr.. Wal
lace were ignorant

"GRAND GIFT" SWINDLES.

A Scamp with but 81 Offers. Presents of
S2s,76s In a Lottery A stupendous
Swindle.
The lottery swindle spoken of in yesterday 8
paper was more fully exposed in the city police
court yesterday morning by a trial of the indi-
vidual who advertised himself as the principal
stockhold er of the gift enterprise. When first
arrested he stated, in answer to several ques-
tions put by Superintendent Schmidt, that he
was the company" himself, and that the gifts
had not vet arrived, but would be in the city in
a few days. He advertised to give away over
$2S, 600 in presents, but had not upon his person
over four dollars and few cents. These pre-
tensions were magnificent enough, but the
actual state of the case was too apparent. The
gift man talked well, but as he had neither
out, he was provided with quarters in the city
prison for Thursday night, and yesterday morn
ing brought before Judge Towner.
In his trial it was proven that he had none of
the gifts which he SO generously offered, except
few pictures, which were not worth over ff-
teen or twenty dollars. Several tickets to his
lottery were produced on the witness-stand by
the detectives, and testimony to the effect that
they had been purchased of the swindler
adduced. II was also proven that two females
were still selling tickets throughout the city,
fleeing the unwary wherever an opportunity
was offered. A more barefaced swindle was
never. conceived. The handbills, containing
list of prizes printed in English and German,
were carefully carried about the streets by indi-
viduals who left them at residences, saying, 81
will return in few moments and sell you
ticket" On returning, if the purchase of a
ticket could not be agreed upon, the circular
was taken away again and no traces of the visit
left Cleveland Leader, 18th.

Bloody ARRAY.
CHICAGO, June 19--At Lincoln Park vester-
day afternoon, John Wilson was arrested by
Policeman Maher for picking lady's pocket.
On the way to the station>house Wilson sprang
from the grasp of the officer, drew revolver
and fired three shots at Maher, two of them
entering his right breast. An old man named
Charles Hoffman rushed to Maher's assistance
and grappled the ruf1ian, when the latter fired
two shots at him, both taking effect in the left
hip. Maher now somewhat recovered and fired
at Wilson, shooting him in the right breast.
Wilson was then secured. Fears are entertained
that Maher will not recover. Hoffman's injuries
are severe but not dangerous. Wilson will
probably die. But for the efforts of the police
the latter would have been lynched.

THE UGLY CLUB.
Fun at the Washington Universlty.

Fun at the Washing gton University.
The 81. Louis Democrat of Jane "a says
For several years the students OF washington
University have enliveRed the tedium OF their
studies by the drolleries and witticlsms OF an
"Ugly Club" We are not familiar with the
rules and regulations of the CLUB, out from what
we have 9een Of 1t, we infer tnat u Is sort Oh
college free and easy, designed 10 promote
intellectual and social enjoyment
Last night the club gave their third annual
exhibition, which consisted OF CHARACTERISTIC
speeches by the prominent members, ana we
must saw that a more comical, humorous, jolly,
good natured entertainment could not have been
got up outside the walls of q college. The large
room was crowded with spectators, ana every
body enjoyed the sport and laughed most
heartily at the Jokes and eccentricity OF the
actors.
The programme was Autographed on broad
sheet illustrated with caricature portraits of the
actors and containing poetical descriptions OF
the characters.
The performance opened with grand over
ture by the band The members took their seats
on the stage and the President stood in the
centre. The address of the President was rare
piece of humor, aud was admirably delivered 0y
young Belcher. He first called up the Ugly Man,
and pointed out his hideous features without the
least bit of blarney. The Ugly one responded
In appropriate terms, and was presented with a
coat of many colors and very small tile. A
shower of bouquets, made of dogfennel, sun
flowers, and all manner of weeds, fell at the feet
and upon the head of the speaker as he took his
seat.
The Pretty Man was presented with a mirror,
and made speech worthy of Artemus Ward Or
Mark Twain.
The Solemn Man played his part to perfection,
and received pair of green spectacles. Some
of his sayings were as good as those of Diogenes
the cynic.
The College Fool received a tall hat in the
shape of candle extinguisher, and filed the
bill perfectly.
One of the most amusing characters was the
Hungry Man. He was represented with a
bologna sausage about yard long, aRd made a
very laughable speech.
The Brassy Man was presented with small
brass horn, and he blew his horn to some pur-
pose.
The Wicked Man was served with a notice to
leave the State. He defended himself against
the terrible charges preferred against him, and
several times brought down the house.
The Ladies' Pet was introduced with flourish
and presented with diminutive parasol or sun
shade. His speech was well delivered and full
of humor.
The exhibition was highly successful, show
ing that the students appreciate aud possess wit
and humor, and know how to amuse q crowd.
The entertainment closed with adance, in which
many beautiful young ladies took part.

RULLOFFS ARREST.
Dispute About the Reward-Suit Begun
for One Thousand Dollars.

for One Thousand Dollars.
The Binghamton Republican says
Chauncey Livingston, by his attorney, b. R..
Johnson, Esq, has sued the Messrs. Halbert,
serving supreme writ, to recover from them
the reward of $1,000 offered last August by them
for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of
Mirick. Livingston will put in a plea that he is
entitled to the entire reward, as being the only
person who arrested or aided in arresting the
murderers. Colonel Brown and A. Q. Matthews
who arrested Rulloff after his discharge, have
retained the services of Messrs. Chapman and
Martin and are prepared to test the matters
and Cyrus Stockwell and the other young man
who pursued Rullof from the railroad track
upon Mr.. Liyingston's premises, and finally
brought him to jail, have engaged the services
of Lewis Seymour, ESQ.
The Messrs. Halbert are ready to pay the
bounty, without any quibole or delay, as soon
lit shall be legally determined to whom 1t shall
be paid. We understand that Mrs. Livingston,
in bringing the suit, does not do it for the sake
of forcing the Halberts to pay 1t Immediately,
or because he doubts their willingness to pay it;
but il is done for the purpose of having the mat
ter OF the rewards legally settled by the Courts;
and an impartial referee will undoubtedly be
appointed to hear the evidence.

board the steamship Russia, at Queenstown,
Ireland, on the Goth of May. Mrs: Field was
the widow of Mr.. Joseph M. Field-an able
man, and, in his day, celebrated actor-and
her own achievements as an actress entitle her
to an honorable place in theatrical history. Her
maiden name was Eliza Lapsley Riddle She was
born in Philadelphia, and may be said to have
inherited the procession of the stage, with which
she was connected from childhood until the
year 1855. She first became prominent under
Mr. Edwin Forests management in Philadel-
phia, and was the original representative in this
country of "Julia" in The Htnchbdck. When
Sheridan Knowles visited America in 1884, she
acted with him in this character in this city.
Subsequently she went into the Southern and
