Marrow Escape Mr.. b. F. Peters,
clerk to city treasurer, while examining
breech loading shot gun, on Monday
evening, at Peters hotel, Market street,
had the weapon in his had, showing the
works to Mr.. David S. Herr, his
friend, who had just stepped into the
hotel. In manipulating one of the
triggers the hammer struck a cartridge
and the contents of one barrel whizzed
uncomfortably near to Mr.. Herr's head,
striking and passing through a screen
and entering the wall. Mr.. Peters was
not aware that the gun was loaded when
he borrowed it for the purpose of going
on a shooting expedition next morning
Mr.. Herr's escape was truly miracle

Killed In a Fluht.-On Monday night
of last week, u fight occurred between
two men in Chambersburg, named John
Elser and George Rapp, in which Rapp
struck Elser with large stone in the
forehead, crushing in the skull, from
the effects of which he died on Tuesday
night. From all we can learn, 1t was
fight brought about by too free use of
beer. Rapp claims that he done 1t in
self defence, and is now in Jail rejecting
over a misspent life, with the gallows or
long term of imprisonment staring
him in the face. Elser was a man of
family and butcher by trade. Rapp is
young single man and resided with
his parents in Chambersburg. - Cham

Charley Lacoume.s House-warmtn~


The many friends Of that popular caterer to
the public, Mr.. Charles Lacoume OF the st.
Charles Saloon, assembled last evening within
its spacious boundaries and partook of an elegant
spread, gotten up as only Charley can get up
thing Of that sort. Pates, boned turkey and the
other delicacies weighed down the table, and as
festive guns for the opening of the saloon, cham
payne corks popped round after round, and, toast
followed toast to the success Of the generous
hearted proprietor. The opening night was at
tended by hundreds of the friends of Mr.. La
coume, all Of whom expressed themselves sur
prised at the many improvements made.
One Of the principal features that attracted
the attention of all was the fresco in the centre
Of the Exchange. AS III artistic work, both in
drawing aud coloring, it excels anything of the
kind to be seen in the South. In four segments
OF circle is represented the procession OF Bac-
chus, the figures being nfantile and the positions
ludicrous and quaint. Even the lioness and
animals that are being led are under the influence
Of the "rosy," and the tout ensemble is most
excellent. This chef d'9uvre is from the hands
of Messrs Dressed and Schubert. The other
sections OF the ceiling are highly ornamented in
the Egyptian style Of border which set off lastly
the centre field. Outside the saloon Mr.. Lacoume
has spared no pains in his billiard room, for his
twelve tables have been re-cushioned, reciothed
and new balls of the finest finish added. The
whole place wears more brilliant aspect than
ever before, and New Orleans can now boast of
the largest and most elaborate saloon in the
country.

A MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
An Unnatural son shoots His Mother i'm
The Head.

An Unnatural SON shoots His Mother i'm
The Head.
Yesterday, at o'clock, at Mrs. Mary Heather's
house, on Second street, between Rousseau and
Tchoupitoulas, difficulty originated, which
came within an ace Of resulting in bloody trag-
edy.
The row was between Jacob Heather and his
sister Josephine, but finally resulted in Mrs.
Mary Heather being shot in the head and severe
ly though not dangerously wounded.
1t appears that Jacob became angry with his
sister and struck her in the face as she claimed
womans prerogative-the last word. The sister,
nevertheless, an amable person, was not willing
to stand a blow on the cheek, and Selling q
poker, WAS about to
ANNIHILATE HER BROTHER,
when the latter retreated to bureau in the room
and armed himself with pistol. At this juno
ture the mother rushed between the two irate
children, and as she did 80 Jacob leveled his ps-
tol at her and fred, infiieting, however, only q
scalp wound.
The accused was Immediately arrested and
lodged in the Central Station, charged with
shooting with intent to commit murder
When interviewed by a DEMOCRAT reporter he
stated that he did not intend to
SHOOT ANYBODY,
but only intended to use the weapon to frighten
his sister.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
wei Known Citizen Arrested and
Charged with Horse stealing.

well known Citizen Arrested and
Charged with Horse stealing.
Yesterday G.. Moses appeared before Acting
Judge Holmes and swore out the following Aft
davit:
G.. Moses who, having been duly sworn, de-
poses and says that from information received,
on the 9th day Of September. 1877, between the
hours of 12sm. and 2 p. m, at No. Is Howard
street, in this district and city, one A. M. Haas
did then and there felonously take, steal and
carry away therefrom one dark chestnut horse,
of the value of 1925, the property of sfiant, and
afint now prays for search warrant to search
the stables of one Jacques Lew. Nos. al and 146
Baronne street, where the said horse is now con-
cealed.
Mr.. Haas hearing that such charge had been
made against him, appeared in the First Mu-
nicipal Police Court and gave bail in the sum of
$500.
The facts Of the case are related al follows: On or
about the first OF May Mr.. Haas employed Ct. Moses
to paint two portraits, for which he agreed to pay
him 5000. The portraits were painted and Mr..
Moses seeing horse in Mr.. Haas stables that he
fancied, took the horse for $125 of Mr.. Haas in
debtedness to him, and for the balance of the
money due him by Haas took it out in board
at 500 per mouth.
When Mr.. Moses sent his bill in the total
amount was $3.50.
MIR. Haas objected TO pay this bill. as he had
only bargained for the portraits to cost 5000.
Moses alleged that he had framed the portraits,
and had charged $50 for the framing.
Mr.. Haas states that he told him that he could
take the frames back, as he did not want them.
Mr.. Moses then remarked that ii he had to
take the frames back for him to come and take
the horse.
Mr.. Haas accepted the proposition and took
back his horse.
He had hardly got the horse in his stable than
MIR. Moses appeared in court and swore out the
above affidavit.
Mr. Haas has been for years in business in this
city, and has the respect and esteem of large
number of merchants

complimentary Medals from His Holiness
to Mrs. Gen. She rman and Others
[PhadelphIa Times At1p "a


Charles Ell. A. Esling, ESQ.,, who re-
turned on the steamship Illinois, on
Saturday, having been some months
absent in Europe as the bearer of the
funds and gifts sent by the Catholic
laity Of the United States to his Holt
ness Pope Plus TX, on the Golden Jubi-
lee OF his Episcopate, brought with him
the complimentary medals given by
his Holiness to Mrs. Gen. Sherman
President Of the American Jubilee Com
mittee, and her aids, Mrs. Thomas
Layton, OF New Orleans, and Mrs. Win
fred Patterson, of st. Louis, and to him
self as the representative of the COM
mittee at Rome. The medals are of
bronze, about one-third of an inch
thick, and about nine inches in circum-
ference. On the diverse is q well-exe-
cuted likeness of the Pope, surrounded
by the inscription: "Pius TX, Pont.

is the following inscription ''Die,

It is rumored that the Pope will also
confer upon Mrs. Sherman the Golden
Rose as a tribute of special recognition
for her Jealous labors In behalf of the
various Catholic charities of the United
States. Should this report prove true
it would be a signal honor, as thu

Preparing for the Fourteenth.

There was meeting held last evening at the
Stock Exchange of the officers of the ununi-
formed companies which participated in tie fight
of September IA, and did service January 9. Col.
Vaudry occupied the chair, and Lieut.. yaught
acted as secretary. After some discussion it was
decided that, inasmuch as there was lack of
arms and also diversity in their character, it
would be best that those organizations ununi-
formed should parade without arms.
Col. vaudry here requested that every compa-
ny commander should furnish him with the num-
Der Of men they would bring out on September
IA, in order that place in line might be assigned
to them.
On motion it was resolved, in order to keep out
those who did not participate in defending the
rights of the people, that the colonel be author
lied to have badge struck off for the ununi-
formed men.
After making preparations for music, etc., the
meeting adjourned until next Wednesday even
ing, at the Stick Exchange, where it ia to be
hoped all the officers Of ununiformed companies
will be present.
