CARSON ITEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register Of this MORN
ing: Young MAXWELL whom We
mentioned yesterday in connection
with the shot fired in Nelson's boot
black stand, claims that We did him
great injustice. He denies all knowl-
edge Of the little boys presence at the
door, or that he spoke to him, and IS
emphatic in the assertion that lie had
no intention Of shooting at the child
or any one else at the time. Arthur
Perkins Hoffman says precisely the
same thing Of Smith. whom he sent
into eternity for an otfense rs slight as
that Of Elrod's little boy-for presum-
ing to look upon n presence so august
and regal. MAXWELL claims that he Is
not in the habit of carrying n pistol,
and that the one from which the shot
was fired was merely placed in his
hands that morning by Il third party
TO be given to the owner. We give
him the benefit of these statements,
and have no desire to wrong him or
any one else but would suggest that,
In the opinion Of a great many people,

position when under the Influence Of

time he gets drunk. Two "chlcco-
