PROMISCUOUS SHOOTING.-Sunday eve
ming William Bowers, at his home on Adam
street. emptied his revolver to clean it.
When discharging his weapon he pointed
the muzzle toward vacant lot, not seeing
anybody in it. After q few bullets had
spun through the air Henry Smith jumped
up hastily and issued an order to cease
firing, as he was wounded. He had been
lounging in the grass. where Mr.. Bowers
could not see him, and when one of the
balls slightly grazed his arm he deemed It
the best course to display his agility.
CHARGES AGAINST CAPTAINS FLANAGAN
AND SCHRElBER.- Yesterday the Board of
Police Commissioners took up the charges
against these two officers. The complaints
are that both accused assaulted and shot at
Superintendent Loan, with intent to kill, in
public place on St. Charles street on the
night of the fourteenth instant. Captain
Flanagan pleaded guilty to assaulting, but
denied any intent to shoot or kill. On this
stasement his case was laid aside for con-
sideration. Captain Schneider denied hav
Ing taken any part in the affair, except as
conservator of the peace; that he bore 40
i'll will, and knew nothing whatever of an
arrangement to attack the superintendent
until he entered the bar room when the
trouble began. Captain Gray bore him out
in portion of his statement.
During the investigation it leaked out,
indirectly, that there had existed plan to
give Colonel Loan q thrashirg, or some
thing like that, but there was no evidence
introduced to prove it.
The board declined to give its decision

Reading the Riot Act.
Atlanta Coustltutionallstl

Atlanta Constitutionallst,
Now we ask the people OF the North,
outside of this ring, IL this to be the
result OF the presidential race? We
have repeatedly said that we want no
more war, but we are just m earnest In
saying that we don't want Governor
Hayes folsted on Nv, over large
majority OF The voters Of this nation,
simply because more Southern men
happened 10 vote for Governor Tilden
than for Governor Hayes. IL IL this
spirit to day that makes our people
hate the leaders OF the Republican,
party. They have never let chance
slip to taunt us with rebellion; they
DISTINGUISHED our intelligence, and en-
irnnchised the ignorance Of our States;
they put onerous and unjust taxes on
the products OF our soil; they backed
up thieving and corrupt men that
swarmed over our States like the lice
of Egypt. and bankrupted us by the
boldest robberies ever perpetrated out
side OF Washington city; they have
even attempted 10 incite our people 10
INSTRUMENTATION, that they could tell
WV iN'Pit w WV ANbiAi W. Wttt sun
rebellious. IL II to DO expected that we
have love for party with such leaders,
with them In power we can only look
forward to gloom and oppression, not
fer 'our years, but forever. We have
made manly fight for our country
ana constitution al rights; we have
not murmered when the bayonet was
used on all occasions, eleven years af.
ter the war ceased. We have seen the
strong arm OF the Government used by
this ring. We have seen them take
our small sister States by the throat
and compel them to puke maJorlties
acceptable to them, And yet all In
peace and submission. But we warn
these people not to take all this AZ
cowardice on our part. We do not
desire war, but If II come by the re.
volutionary acts of these scoundrels,
and we are called by the Northern
people, under the old flag, to defend
the honor of our Government, we will
respond with an enthusiasm that will
astonish these money changers, and
will wipe them from the face Of the
earth as completely as the American
people wiped out secession.

At our election, last Monday, there were 128 Republican votes cast, against 9O of the Democrats. Thirty of. the Eepubll- cans did not voc. nt all At this rate the town will go Democratic in year or two. The case of Enos Potter against the town was settled at our town meeting, the town giving to said Potter the sum of of $225 for damages done to him some two years ago, when he tumb1ed ont of his wagon, down bank into river, and lost his money bag, containing upwards of $SO or $90. The town may expect us to lose $5O0 when We have o,H' upset.
 On Wednesday, March 29th, just after the heavy rain of the night before, 12 year old son of Mr. Lockwood, of Campville, contrived to slip off the bank into the Naugatuck River; the current being strong and deep with the recent rain, he was carried down stream quar ter of mile. while his nine year old brother ran along the bank with pole, trying to fish him cut, but couldn't in- duce him to bite. He finally came under the notice of Mir. Edgar Browne, who went in an1 landed him ou terra frnl0. No serious damage was done, except a thorough wetting. and making the lads eyes stick out little. We haven't heard whether he lost hls pocket-book, or not.
 -Chas. Atwood, who stole the money from Alr. Wheeler, three weeks ago, pass ed through our town, last Wednesday, causing considerable excitement. Two self-appointed deputies, Mir. c. Daily and MT. George Birden, gave chase, and followed him over the roads and across the lots towards Wolcottville, where he turned mp towards Torringford, but they proceeded to Wolcottvile and telegraphed to Litchfeld for Sheriff Baldwin. Re- turning to Harwiuton they met Mir. Bal dwin, who was on Atwood's track, and who said he had been in search of him for three weeks. We understand that the thief was taken next day in the neighbor- hood of Bakerville, after committing some petty thefts there.
 Our roads are in very bad condition from the recent heavy rains, making it risky travelling after dark. but our nights are generally moony now.
