happy party, dated Cape May. August %, their
friends will be able to learn of their doings.
They had bad weather in Delaware bay foated
into brig at anchor and lost their yawl. Next
day, with the assistance of tug, the latter
was found and restored to the "innocents." !"
Nothing occurred to hinder their progress, and
they soon landed at Princes wharf, just below
the Chestnut-str bridge. After making the
necessary details to guard the schooner, all
hands were given permission to 90 where they
pleased and report on board, ready to sail, on
Saturday evening. The first thing done was to
hunt up acquaintances and friends, and then
visit the Centennial. Progress has been slow
slower than was anticipated; they have met
with nothing but head winds and flood tides.
The captain says that they have made good
time, but it appears slow because they are bet
ter acquainted with travel on railroads and
steamboat. They have just anchored of Cape

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Furnishing q Destroyer Of Property

About midnight Wednesday Israel Howard
was shot, at the corner of Twenty and
K streets, by some one who emerged from the
store of Dennis Burns, at the southwest cor
ner of the street named. Howard has ffe-
quently had trouble with Burns, who keeps a
grocery store, because the latter furnishes
whisky to his (Howard's) wife. He has
quarreled with him frequently, and it appears
that Wednesday night he came to the store
and began to throw stones and bricks against
the building.
Some one came out of the store, and when
Howard was on the opposite corner fired a
gun loaded with large shot. The charge took
effect in Howard's back and head, infiicting
painful and serious wounds. He proceeded
without assistance to his house on F street,
between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ffth
streets. Yesterday his condition was very
bad, and he notified the police, charging
Burns with having fired the gun. A warrant
for Burns arrest was issued.

4 Charming Compact.

In the northern part of the city last Tuesday
evening young lady and gentleman sitting
on the front doorsteps entered into contract
that evidently proved acceptable to both
parties. For each shooting star that he dis
covered he was to receive kiss. He watched
with the utmost vigilance, and fully half
hour passed away and not solitary star shot
across the sky. But after a while the cherry
lips Of the young lady parted, and she called
her young mans attention to the flying meteors
that were about TO escape his observation; then
she got to calling his attention to the lightning
bugs, and finally she got him down to steady
work on the light Of lantern that watch
man was carrying along an open trench in the
street where water mains were to be laid {.
Since then other young men in the neighbor-
hood have sat with their girls on the steps,
watched for shooting stars, and even hired q
small boy to swing lamp, but to no purpose.
The only girl that will reward vigilan. star
gazing has been captured.
