An alarm was raised in the neigh
borhood OF a small house just East OF
the Public School buildings on Adj
ans street Saturday night, on ac-
count of a number OF shots and wo-
man screaming. The night watch was
sent for, and on their approach to the
house they heard parties running
away on the opposite side Of the
house. Going in they found the oc-
cupant OF the house. a Mrs. Kreight.
lying on pallet bed in small room,
and man standing at the foot OF the
bed with drawn revolver. The
door had been battered down, and
there were evidences OF first-class
fracas of some kind. The state
ments made by the parties were con-
Trajectory. The man said he was in
the house, when other parties bat
tered down the door. He fired at
them. But he contradicted this, and
there is no telling what the facts are.
This is the second time that shots
and screams have been heard in that
house within two weeks, and Ii is
about time some measures were ia
ken to ward an investigation.

urday. The people being poor no
physician was called, an old woman
performed the function OF a midwife.
The peculiar appearance OF the child,
which was sti.l-born, alarmed those
who were present who suspected an
attempt at abortion. This belief was
strengthened when the girls mother
put the infant in box and buried 1t
In the rear OF the house, and an in
vestigation was called for. The Cor
oner exhumed the body and medi-
cal examination showed It to be a
case of acrania. The brain. skull.
and bones OF the spine from the
lumber vertebra were undeveloped,
Physiologically IL was an arrest OF

otherwise, the child was fully and
naturally developed. or course there

Our Sunday school workers must
remember that the next meeting Of

August 2lst. A programme OF the
exercises for that occasion is in
course of preparation and will soon

visitors in llue style. 1t is suggested
by gentleman from that place who
called on us a few days ago that
there will be a picnic spread In the
