1 TRAGIC ACCIDENT.

A few minutes after four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, a little son Of Mr.. James 8. Weston
dorf, of this city, was accidentally shot and
killed by his companion, another small boy,
named Willie E. Hale. The two boys, aged
about five and eight years, respectively, were
at play In an apartment at the residence OF
MIR. Westendo If, on the west side of Meeting
street, next north of the Pavilion Hotel, when
Willie Hale lounda pistol and playfully threat
ened to shoot young Westendorf. He says
that the first time the pistol snapped, but the
next time the weapon was discharged. The
boys were within touching distance OF each
other, and the pistol was held with a true aim.
The ball struck young W%estendorff In the len
cheek, on the side of the nose, and passing
transversely beneath the %nostrlls, lodged at
the back OF the right eye, piercing the base OF
the brain. A physician was quickly called,
and every relief afforded the young sufferer.
The wound, however, was evidently fatal, and
after gradually and painfully sinking, the
little sufferer quietly breathed bis last aoout
nine O'Clock In the evening. The pistol was a
small pocket revolver, shooting a bullet
about the size of a pea from a percussion
cartridge. The sufferer was a bright, promls-
ing little boy of FIVE summers, and his sudden
death Is another distressing casualty in the list
of inevitable accidents.

RICHARD III At TIE ACADEMY.
A Crowded Audience and O Brilliant
Success.

The Academy of Music was again croWed
last evening with q brilliant and appreclstlVe
audience to witness MI. Booth In his greatest
impersonation-that of Richard III. Ills IN this
character that this eminent tragedian has
made his most complete success, and his rem
dItlon of the part last evening fully justified
the universal verdict of approval that has
been given him. MI. Booths rather ample
physique is better suited for the ungainly
Gloucester than for either the character OF
Hamlet or BenedIck, and his wonderfully paclle
countenance completed perfectly the picture
OF the bold usurper. His soliloquy In the first
scene, his grim wooing Of the Lady Anne over
the very body of his victim, her murdered
husband. and his final outburst Of hate and
rage and scorn were particularly fine 10 con-
| ceptIon and detail Of execution. In the clos
ing scenes of the gloomy tragedy his acting
was full of fire and split, aud altogether he
presented By far the best Richard that has
been witnessed In this city for many years
The support was admirable, Mrs. Booth as the
Queen, Miss Pierson as Lady Anne, Mr.. SheW-
ell as Buckingham and Mr.. Chester as King
!! Henry especially distinguishing themselves
in their respective roles.
Tonight will be given Othello the Moor OIL
Venice, with a powerful cast. and, for to-mor-
row night. the occasion of Mr.. Booths benefit,
a bill of unusual at!ractlveness Is announced,
Including Romeo AMI Juliet and Tanning Of
the Shrew.

THE LAWAND THE PROFITS.

Some of our readers may perhaps remem'
Der, not over a score OF years ago, one Au'
gust Won Claim, a dealer In dry goods on
King street, in this slald old city. The said
Won Claim (no noblemau, the ''von" not,
withstanding,) moved to the West, and there
came In possession of a fortune. But riches
do not always bring happiness, and Mr.. Fon
Claim and bis wife, they lived In great strife.
He sued for a divorce, and, after long years
of litigation and much hope deferred, he Won
the suit, and had the glorious privilege oil
paying s37, 1928 in costs. To be sure, suits OF
this sort cost money. Mr.. Claim appealed
from the Circuit 10 the Supreme Court, who
again sent him back to the Circuit Court. The
costs in this case are something stupendoua
Notwithstanding. The whole amount went as
costs and fees; for Of $4,000 awarded to Mrs.
Won Claim for maintenance, &C., she had
nothing left after paying her lawyers. The
little bill reads as follows: Costs of first suit,
s2ssO; appeal to Supreme Court, sl2,442; costs
of second suit, sll, 696; paid Mrs. Won Claim,
$40. 900. Total, $37, l2s. Surely the laws de-
lay and the lawyers fees ought to make a fel.
low think twice before he seeks justice In
Chicago.

The GERMAN FUs1LIERs.-The surviving
members of this ancient and honored com.
pany have lately begun to r%eorganize the old
company, and are taking steps to recruit their
forces from the young men for the purpose OF
forming rifle club. In this manner they hope
to continue the society and revive the old
organization in all it's pristine glory. The
company should by all means be kept up, II
only for the glorious record 1t bears. 1t was
first organized before the American Revolution.
It took an active part in several of the battles
of that war, and was In the van on the bloody
day when Savannah was stormed by the
American troops. During the late war the
members united themselves with other COM
panles, and all took active and honorable
parts in the great civil conflict. A company
like this will surely find many who will join
its ranks with alacrity, and ere long we hope
to chronicle the first parade of the Fusilier
Club.
