SHOOTING AFFRAY AT A CHURCH IN BALTIMORE
COUNTY.-A tragic affair occurred at St. Stephens
Catholic church, in the eastern section of this
county, near the Hartford county line, on Sunday
morning last which will most likely result in the
death of one of the parties engaged in it. The
particulars, near as could cream them, are
about as follows: Joseph R. Miller, a son of
Mr.. Albert A. Miller, well-to-do farmer of that
vicinity, about three years ago left his home and
went West. Before leaving home he had been on
intimate terms with young daughter of Timothy
Shanahan, who farms place belonging to DIR.
David Cuttings, and, as alleged, effected her ruin.
While living in Indiana young Miller married and
about two weeks ago returned to his home in Bal
timOre county, bringing his wife with him. On
Sunday be drove to St. Stephens church, accom-.
panied by his wife and one Of his sisters. After
tying his horse he turned to go to the church, and
seeing John Shanahan brother of the young
woman, standing near, he approached and ad-
dressed him in familiar manner. Shanahan,
without making q reply, drew his revolver and
commenced firing at Miller, discharging four bar
rels in quick succession. The first shot took eff
feet in the left breast in the region of the heart
tbs two next shots missed and the last one made a
slight flesh wound on the abdomen. Miller tried
to get out of the way but was followed up by
Shanahan, who was quite near him when the last
shot was fired.
As might be supposed the shooting created the
greatest CONSERVATION. Miller was carried home
on stretcher, and DR.. Cuttings was called to at
tend him, DIR. Altvater being afterwards sent for
also. The physicians fear that death may ensue
from internal hemorrhage, the ball having pene-
trated the lgpg, although there is very slight
chance for bis recovery, .l. fLt et-4
After the shooting shaaahaR went to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. John Z. 3. Parlstt, in Long Greco
where he had been employed as a farm hand, AID
Mr.. Parlett brought him to Towsontown whers he
gave himself up to Sheriff Worthington, AID he
has since been confined in Jail here. He Is about
twenty two years of age and has heretofore born
good character. Miller is about thirty years
! old 80 r.

the virus Of an infectious disease were TO DO
carried TO that district II would find q condition
50 favorable TO its development that In no time
the whole city would bc invaded and desola-
tion carried to every home.
ltiswell known that case even OF yellow
fever may be carried to cleanly district
among people who have some knowledge of
hygiene, and that that case may not bc null
tiplied but let the virus DO sown in such q
locality, leaving everything In favor Of propa.
CATION, and doubt II the sclfconfdence Of
even so scientific and experienced man as our
Health Officer can save us from tho fate Of so
unfortunate place as Grenada.
Wholesome advice In proper time will not
bring the yellow fever but false security is
the most fatal condition in time Of danger.
Had the health officer Of New Orleans given
the alarm at The first approach Of the yellow
fever, that poor city would not be to-day strug-
Cling for existence.
Several localities OF our cities arc In as dang.
erous condition as the district above mentioned
We have, moreover, many miles of wooden
pavements in state Of rottonness, and season
Of heat and moisture peculiarly favorable to
decomposition Of animal and vegetable matter.
On the brow Of the hill just mentioned the
dcniZcns get the benefit Of the mephitic air
arising from that foul district, as the south
wind blows II into the windows and doors Of
their dwellings, and typhoid thereabout found
Is the result.
Those who drive on Seventh street north
exclaim, 1t is q disgrace to civilization ~
Those who drive through Eighth and Ninth
streets, north of Boundary, whip their horses
to escape the sitting odors Of that poisoned
atmosphere.
In the name Of humanity beg the Commits
sioners to visit that place and apply such remo.
dies as that dangerous locality suggest. Let
them also sprinkle all the wood pavcments
with carbolc acid. A few thousand dollars
spent in this manner may save n thousand lives
Let them remove all those animals that infest
that district 1t is an imperative necessity. 1t
would be criminal on their part, under the
present danger, to let this go uunoticed any
longer. Should they disregard this suggestion
the physicians will be compelled to call u mass
meeting of citizens aud take the matter out of
their hands.
