The Shooting of Colonel Mcdonald.

Among the passengers who arrived Gu the
boat from Norfolk yesterday morning was
Colonel Zlmrie Mcdonald, extensively en-.
gagged in contracts for carrying the United
States mail. Finding it necessary to change
the officers on his steamer, the Gypsy, which
carries the mail on route No. 1907, from Ply
mouth, N. c., to Franklin, Va. He proceeded
to Black Water River to make this change,
when he was assaulted by the captain of the
boat, I. J. Burbage, who fired at him with
pistol. The ball struck Colonel Mcdonald in
the left jaw, knocking ont two of his teeth and
spintering his lower jawbone. This informa-
tion was contained in u telegram to the RE.
PUBLICAN from Norfolk on the 24th inst. The
wound, though painful, is not necessarily fatal,
and from present appearances he will soon be
| out again. Tho attack was made without
! sufficient provocation, but Colonel Mcdonald
| will not prosecute the offender, whom he regards
as poor man driven to frenzy by his failure to
meet the requirements of his position as cap
tain Of the boat. After the shooting Burbagc
dropped his pistol and begged for his life.
Colonel Mcdonald was not armed and did not
expect to be assaulted

A Marriott company,s Money ArnIrs.

special meeting of the stockholders of the
Northern Liberty Market was called for yes.
terday to devise means to extrcate the com.
pany from financial difficulties. There was q
good attendance, but nothing definite was
agreed upon. A general discussion was in.
dulged in as to ways and means aud finally,
upon motion of Mr.. James A. Hoffman, the
following committee was appointed to consider
the subject and report at future meeting
Messrs. j. A. Hoffman, w. IIeinc, T. C. Holmes
E. L. Anderson, and G. NJ. Oyster. During the
discussion it was suggested that the capital
stock should be increased, but 10 action was
taken. The source of the trouble appears to
have originated from question as to the Legal
| rights of the stallowners, and doubt as tC
whether the original owners of the property
or the company arc responsible for tax bill
| of $500, the latter having declined to pay
any more interest until the taxes are liqui
dated. The committee will have full author.
ity to make any arrangements conducive b,
the welfare of the company, and their report
will be eagerly anticipated.

The Way Vanderbilt Succeeded.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was running
steamboats he beat all rivals by crowding on
steam TO the utmost aud even running down
his enemy, If necessary, to accomplish a tri.
umph. When he went into railroading he
adopted much shrewder and more successful
way by uniting vast lines and their tributaries
under his own management, thus capturing all
rivals by sharing with them the immense pool
of profits that were made by hisskillful manip-
ulation. Messrs. Lawrence Il Co.. bankers,
New York, accomplish q much greater success
in stock operations by their new combination
method of dealing BY this system the orders
of thousands of customers are pooled into one
vast sum and co-operated under the most expo
rienccd management, thus giving to each share
holder all the benefits of large capital and best
skill. Profits divided monthly. Any amount
from S. to $4,000 can be used with great sue
cess. Fifteen dollars will make SIS profit

Affairs About Town.


Commissioner Twining, in company with
Mr.. G. B. Church. visited the river front yes.
terday on a tour of inspection. A boat was
procured, and all tho wharves from the
Arsenal Point to Kidwel Bottoms were visited
An examination of the Seventeenth street
sewer was also made, with view to determin-
ing how far an embankment for the proposed
canal across the flats would be necessary.
Five feet Of water on two-thirds tide was
found in the swash channel, and it was ascer-
tanned that 1t would not be necessary TO carry
the embankment beyond the line Of bulkhead
proposed by the committee of one hundred.
The end of it will therefore be at tho extrem-
ity Of Kidwell Bottoms, aud will not interfere
with the Washington Channel. Major Twin
ing announced his intention te cooperate with
| the committee in carrying out their plan,
stating that he had no desire to antagonize
them. IL Is thought that by unity of action
Congress may be induced to grant an appro-
prlation which will not only build the bulk
head but prevent any repetition of u nuisance
on the river front. The statement in the post
yesterday that the contract for the work on
the proposed canal across the flats had been
given out was stated to be untrue, as the plans
of Major Twining were made subject to modi
flcation, and no contract hal yet been award
cd. There was q possibility, however, that
work on the embaukment woull be COM
mCnCed during the present week.
