The Shooting Case.

Yesterday the Coroner held an INQUEST
over the body of the little girl who was
accidentally shot oil Wednesday, at New
Castle. The circumstances of the shoot
ing are rather peculiar, as will be seen
by the statement before the jury of the
young lady who was in the room at the
time the shooting occurred. Miss Lizzie
Walker testified that she was in the
room at the time the shooting took place,
the DECEASED was in the bed the wit
ness took the revolver Ga Smith 81 Wes-
SOM off of the mantlepiece, for the pur-
pose of busting off the mantle, laid the
revolver Oh the bed, she had her back
toward the deceased and did not hear
the report of the pistol. When she had
finished the work and turned around.
she saw the deceased lying on the floor
bleeding; called to the deceased's mother
and told her that Jennie had cut herself.
Did not know that she was shot. There
was no one else in the room at the time.
Miss Walker being The only material
witness, the jury rendered a verdict that
the deceased came to her death from a
pistol shot wound, the bullet entering
near the brain, and that 1t was purely ac-
cidentai.

New Castle Letter.
New CASTLE, Feb. 8.

NEW CASTLE, Feb. 8.
Yesterday afternoon Officer James
O'Neil had his attention directed to the
strange actions of colored woman, car
rying child in her arms. On inuuiripp
why she persisted in crossing and re,
crossing the streets, and why she did not
go home, she informed him that "the
world was her home," and "her cabin
was back of the stack yard" Seeing she
was deranged he took her TO Jail for safe
keeping. She is an entire stranger and
no person SO far has been able to recog-
niZe her.
In former years, during the winter sea-
sou, there were given several entertain
menls for the benefit of the poor. This
season has been one of unusual hard
hess, owing to the lack of employment,
and so far we heard of no movement to
assist the needy.
The list of entriest for lthe shooting
match is completed, leaving quite anum-
Der anxious to try their hand. 1t is Sc
rlously contemplated to increase the
humber of balls to 1900. The traps to
be used is the invention of an ex-officer
OF this county, and it is is said 10 work
far superior to any now in use.
Our fishermen have begun sorling
their nets and estimating the amount OF
new required; some contemplate knit>
ting much larger nets than have been in
use heretofore.
John Comegys, at his shop on Pearl
ST., is now filing want long felt in this

wagon and started off on run. The Of
ficer then took charge Of the team, and

A SPICY TIME IN THE EXECUTIVE sEs-

sIoN-THB ADMIsIsrRArIoN ABUSED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
The executive session this afternoon
was devoted to n consideration of the
Mobile, Alabama, appointments, but no
action was taken. The proceedings were
of semi-filibustering character. MIR.
Spencer and his friends sought to defeat
the confirmation, and several roll-calls
were had upon motions 10 reconsider and
TO discharge the committe. The Repub-
licans are said to have twice broken a
qu, rum by retiring from the chamber, and
an adjournment without any result was
finally made necessary on account of a
quorum. he Democrats charged the Re-
publicans with purposely absenting
themselves. A call of the Senate was
demanded, but could not be secared.
The executive session of the Senate
yesterday was more lively than was
thought. Senators Vorhees and Conk-
ling, 1t is said, had some hot words, and
Hamlin was very abusive of the admins
tration. He said ave don't want the
President. He should go where he be-
longs-to the other side of the chamber"
(referring to the Democratic side). To
this Mr.. Salisbury replied: eve don't
want him we don't want any foundlings
left at our DOORS" at which there was
a great laugh.
