From Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, G. Horace p Robinson,
son of Third street banker, was seriously
wounded this forenoon by pistol shot fired
by his friend, Harry w. Bartol while the
latter was asleep. The two friends slept to-
gether at Bartols residence during the alb
sence of the family in the country. 1t is
supposed that dreaming, he arose in his sleep
and discharged the shot. A hearing before
the Magistrate took place this forenoon. He
is necessarily in custody to await the result
of the injuries to his friend. Robinson's
wound is serious one, and at the anti
mortem examination he exhonerated his friend
from any murderous design, and said that he
believed the act was committed in sleep.
Young Bartols father is an extensive sugar
refiner on the Passyunk road, and the sad
event has caused much distress to both
families.
