SHOOTING IN HIGH LIFE.
Ex-senator POmerOy Shot by ex.
Representative Conway Of Kansas.

Ex-senator PomerOy Shot by ex-
Representative Conway Of Kansas.
The following dispatch WAS received
at Salt Lake on Saturday, and was OBJ
tained by us from the Tribune of Sun
day;
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Ex-Senator
Pomeroy, of Kansas, was shot this morn
ing by x-Representative NJ. F. Conway,
of Kansas. Senator Pomeroy was walk
ing up New York Avenue, and when
near the corner of Fourteenth street he
met Conway, who drew large revolver,
and when within five or six feet of Pom
eroy, fired three shots at him, one of
which took effect in the right breast,
lust below the nipple; Conway then put
when two gentlemen, P. Saltwater and
Addison, who witnessed the shooting,
Immediately stopped Conway, exclaim-
ing, ."Stop, sir, you have shot man,
and you must give your reasons for so
doing" Conway replied, 8" He ruined
myself and family" He then accompa-
MED the gentlemen to the station house.
Pomeroy, who had fallen to the pave
ment, was assisted to his carriage and
driven to his house in X street, near
Fourteenth, where the physicians were
Immediately summoned. Doctors Bliss
and Verdi have just made an examina-
ton of the wound, and pronounce it
only slight one. One ball passed
through Pomeroy's hat, another through
his overcoat and other clothing, enter
ing his breast below the right nipple,
but only penetrated ths skin. Pomeroy
asserts he never had any controversy
with Conway, and has not the slightest
idea of the cause of his attack.
Senator Pomeroy and Conway met q
few days ago for the first time in about
two wears, when the latter said abruptly,
81 am out Of money, to which Pome-
roy replied: II know then how to ap-
preciatc your situation. as I am nearly
in that condition myself. This is all
that passed between them at this inter-
view, and to-day hot words were spoken
before Conway commenced firing, sur.
prising Pomeroy more than anything
that ever happened to him before.
Pomeroy is emphatic in stating that
he never had any controversy or ground
for difficulty with Conway. On the con-
trary, he says that about three years
ago. he and Senator Sumner got Con-
ways wife q clerkship in the Treasury
Department on her representation that
her husband would not support her.
Subsequently, says Pomeroy, Conway
tried to trustee or draw her wages at the
Treasury Department, but failed to &C.
complish it. He (Pomeroy) had no
controversy with him on that subject or
any other.
Conway is native of Baltimore, and
painter by trade. He studied law,
went to Kansas and took part in the
early struggles Of the Territory as Free
Soil Statesman. After serving as Coun-
ty Judge, he was elected to Congress as
the ffst Representative from Kansas
At the end of his term he was appointed
by President johnson as Consul at Mar
seilles, but was removed by President
Grant soou after the latter's inaugura-
ton. He has been living in this city for
several years.

Posted up is an old letter, dated 1887.
"Onfy these and nothing more" The
old powder-horn is stopped up by plug
OF wood, which has been drawn so often
by its former owner that its end is chaw-
ed of close. But what of that? Read

\ The LOVE OF MoNEY.-The desire for
gain is an Unborn motive OF human ma
ture. 1t is the natural and healthy out
growth of the law of necessity. With
few exceptions, it may be said that all
men love money. To get it is the aim
of many lives. No labor is SO severe or
onsrous, if hope only whispers of sue
cess. Men willingly suffer to obtain it
no task, however difficult, is complained
OF If they only secure their coveted treas
ure. This is to a certain extent, right
and as it should be. The love OF money,
and the faculty of earning it have been
given to us for wise and beneficient
purpose. Yet, there is dangers of these
faculties being abused and turned to
harmful ends. For instance: James Nor
rison--at one time called the modern
Croesus-after having accumulated, by
his own energy and enterprise. fortune
of twenty-five millions, became the slave
of his fortune, and at last the mere wreck
of his former self. He was continually
haunted by fear of want, and engaged
to do day labor for one of his farm ten
ants, at twelve shillings week. Finally
for eighteen months previous to his
death, he was the humble applicant for
relief, in company with the town pau
pers, and received his two shillings and
a loaf of bread.
Thus we see the folly of anchoring our
hopes in mere possessions. Wealth is
nothing only in relation to it's uses.
Money is but representative of what
it will purchase. Gold is only the bridge
over which many pass to happiness
otherwise beyond our reach. Unwisely
gained or unwisely used, it becomes too
often bridge of sighs" leading to the
dreary imprisonment of oil that is truly
noble in man. Few there are who learn
in time the true use Of money as an
agent of happiness. At first, as an angel
OF promise, its possession beckons youth.
fal natures to hopeful effort to secure the
prize Of happiness; but, once obtained,
1t too often becomes q fascinating de.
mon, Turing its victim on to moral and
intellectual ruin. 1t requires vast
amount of practical philosophy to make
money, but infinitely more to appropri.
ate 1t to its best uses. To know when tc

perseverance, and moral energy than the
whole labor and difficulty Of acquiring

A "JoKE."-A young man applied to
one of the attaches of the Police Court
the other day for a marriage license.
One of the officials connected with this
temple of justice is an incorrigible wag.
He would play joke on his eIecutioner
were he to be hung. as the victim of his
latest sell thinks he deserves to be.
With all the gravity of Judge he put
the usual questions to the man about to
enter upon the matrimonial sea, and
taking from one of the pigeon holes a
blank, filled out warrant for the arrest
Of the intended bride, on a charge of
vulgar language. Folding it up nicely,
he handed it to the young man, and told
him there was nothing to pay. This
was the last seen of him until yesterday,
when he came to the City ball in high
state Of indignation. He swore he could
whip the wag, who happened to be out
at the time. 1t did not transpire at what
stage of the matrimonial venture the
cruel joke was discovered s. F.
