A JKAI6rs FiRGINIAN'S RECKLESS SHOOTING
A special dispatch from Port Royal, Va, says
that on Thursday night large Baptist meeting
was being held there, and Mrs. Madison, the
young and handsome wife OF Dick Madison, of
Port Royal, together with some other ladies,
wanted to go to the meeting, and took young,
them. Madison heard OF It, and, not knowing
aroused, and he started out, equipped with two
revolyers, to find Travis for the purpose OF kill
Ing him on the spot. He traced him from the
meeting to his own door, and Travis being
unarmed and having already entered Madison's
house locked the doors upon him. Madison got
In through rear door, and In the presence Of
his wife and several ladies opened fire upon
Travis, who, having no means OF defense, re-
treated toward the door, but before he could
get out two OF the shots had taken effect, one In
the face and one In the right thigh His face
was black with powder and was bleeding. After
he got out OF the house Madison fired two more
shots without effect, and Travis escaped from
him and notified the sheriff, who took the mat
ter in hand. When Madison got through with
Travis he went back into his house. Several
shots were fired and were Immediately followed
by heartrending screams from the ladies. 1t is
believed that he shot at his wife and missed her
and hit the other ladies. 1t Is runnOred that one
lady was seriously wounded, but the full par
ticularS have not yet been received. AS to the
extent OF the damages, 1t is believed that Travis
will recover. All the parties involved are OF
good families, and the proceeding Is much re.
GREETED. There is not the least suspicion against
Travis or Mrs. Madison.

HAsTY MARRIAGE AND SPEEDY REPENT
ANCE.-A story OF parriage In haste and re.
pentance at leisure was told to Inspector Thorne
last night at police headquarters, by good
looking German woman, who came to this
country few months ago. Advertising for
work, she was brought by chance to a matrimo-
NAL agency, kept by German In Williams
street. The result was visit, on the next day,
from carpenter named George Naumann, Who
made her an offer Of marriage. This was dis
cussed over sixteen bottles of lager beer, and at
length the woman consented, and the couple
went to the house OF the Rev. Francis Schnei-
der. No. 15s Allen street, and were married. On
the next day, Monday of last week, Mr.. Maui
mann took his wife to his home, at No. GAS east
10th street. -Four children, the Oldest young
man Of nearly twenty years, of whom Maui
mann had said nothing before, received her.
EefOre the week was out she repented of her
bargain. The children were too large and the
work was too hard. She told Inspector Thorne
last night that she had been married while I'M
der the influence of too much lager beer to per-
init the free exercise OF her Judgment. A brief
investigation Of the facts and a visit to the Rev.
MIR. Schneider's house served to show, however,
that her complaint was unfounded.-[N. Y Tfi.
