COOL BURGESS SHOOTS A MAN.
Attempt to Kill the Alleged Seducer of
His Wife---TwO Shots Without
Dangerous Results.
Special to New York Herald. ]

GPoclal tO NeM lOih ueralu.I
TORONTO, August 6.-Quite a stir
was created here to-day over a shoot
ing affray which occurred last night,
the participants being Cool Burgess.
the well known negro delineator, and
William Widgery, prominent fruit
merchant of this city, both men being
we'll known, though the position they
occupy is more pronounced than Sc
lect. For four years past idle tongues
have associated Widgery's name with
Mrs. Burgess. About year ago Cool
returned Unexpectedly from journey,
and it was alleged at the time, though
strenuously denied, that Widgery was
in an apartment Of the house more
sacred than the parlor and in posi-
ton betokening greater intimacy than
friendship permits, and that he left
through a window and carried
with him a remembrance from
Cool's pistol. The affair seems to
have been compromised, as Cool and
Widgery were seen afterward driving
and in theaters together. Cool and his
wife subsequently went with their
children to New York, where they re-
sided till last Sunday, when Cool
received a dispatch from his brother
here saying that his mother was dying.
He arrived in Toronto Monday, and it
is supposed that Mrs, Burgess tele-
graphed to Widgery to keep out of his
way, hostilities having again broken
out between the two men. 1t is said
that Burgess wrote from New York
threatening to kill Wiagery on sight,
and Widgery replied that he would 90
to New York and if Cool wanted to
try pistols, he would fight him at two
PAGES. Widgery is man of courage,
and will fight if put to it. Tall and
well knit, he is not o pleasant oppo-
nent to encounter when angered. He
will not admit receiving any word Of
Cools return to Toronto, hut claims
that no and tho tobacconist, Blakelv.
stopped accidentally at the Rising Sun
Hotel, fonge street, when driving.
THE HOSTILE MEETING.
This hotel is kept by a brother of
Cool, aud shortly after Widgery en-
tered, Cool stepped into the bar. Wild

special 10 CINCINNATI Enquirer.
LEBANON, August 8.-George Ea-
gle, a well-known Republican poll
tician of Hamilton township, at
tempted to end his miseries in this
world and solve the mysteries of the
future a few days ago. For several
years he has been diligently besieging
the heart Of Miss Mamie Richey, a
daughter of his neighbor, Colonel Dan
Richey. The Eagle tried to soar to
the social nights occupied by Miss
Richey, but his pinions were too weak,
and disappointment has met him at
every trial.
Finally the father of his inamorata
put his foot on the neck of the Eagle
and threatened to pull it off if it was
seen again on his premises. This last
blow was too much for the tender
hearted and loye-sick Eagle, and he
resolved to loose the silver cord and
break the golden bowl of life. He
went to Morrow and bought vial of
laudanum, and resolved to 60 and die
in the presence of his lady-love. He
obtained admittance during the tenn
porary absence of Colonel Richey,
and, frantically rushing into the pres
ence of Miss Richey, he put the pois-
oned chalice to his lips and drained
the last drop,
But he did not die with neatness
and dispatch, as was expected. Dr.
Hammer was sent for and came, and
he hammered life into him and the
laudanum out with the aid of a
stomach-pump. However, where there
is will there is a way, and as soon as
Eagle was conveyed to his home he
made another attempt TO take his life.
The instrument used this time was a
towel, with which he suspended him
self to the limb of sour apple-tree.
He was cut down before the spirit of
life had fled, and was at last accounts
yet in the flesh.

gerry said, Hello, old fellow will you

do you mean to insult me? replied
Cool. DO you think | would drink
with you2 You have broken up my
home, ruined my wife, left my children
more than orphans, disgraced two fam
lilies and wrecked my hopes. No, sir,
| would not drink with you"
Oh, shut up!" replied Widgery !;
we have heard all that before.
Come and take a drink" Coops
brother says that Widgery qualified
this by an alternative couched in
blasphemous language, but Widgery
and Blakely assert that nothing
offensive was said, while other wit
nesses are at skies and sevens on that
point. However, Cool declined to
drink and drew revolver. After
pausing a moment he fired. Widgery
was hit in the forearm, and exclaim-
ing, God Alack, give me revolv-
er Do you want to see me made a
target OFF" Blakely made motion
to give Widgery his revolver, when he
was caught by a bystander. Cool
fired again, when he put a bullet
through Widgerys hand. Blakely
then dropped his revolver, which
Widgery picked up. Cool disap.
peared through the back door, and
Widgery sent a bullet after him
! Widgery says he did this merely tC
scare Cool off. His brother smuggled
Cool cut into the country, where he
will await developments. He Sent
word to his brother that he is ready
to answer a charge of " shooting with
intent to kill" Widgery threatens
to swear out warrant, but nothing
has been done yet.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
The cause of the trouble is tai
stout woman, with rather a bolC
look, who often drove through the
city with Widgery, and appeared il
public places, apparently courtini
prominence, without her husband
protection. She has family of three
children, who are supported by Cool
though his wife and he are reported
to have separated. Cool is compare
, lively wealthy, and owns real estate il
Toronto. Widgery has good frui
business, and the intimacy is sup
posed to have sprung up between hin
and Mrs. Burgess in his store.

DIR. ChaiIle,s EsepOrt.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Dr. Stan
ford h. Chaille, chairman Of the Ha-
vana yellow fever commission, reports
to the National board of health that
the mortality for the week ending July
26 gives III deaths by yellow fever
and 271 by all diseases. He has in
vestigated facts relative to the preva-
lence of the disease upon the island,
and finds that more than twenty years
ago, out of thirty-six towns only two
insignificant ones were free from
it. Every seaport town had it. He
claims that the first authenticated
epidemic occurred in 176l, instead
Of 1852, and that it has continued
epidemic ever since the former period.
From DR.. d. M. Burgess the follow
ing facts were obtained by DR.. Chaille,
relative to the steamer Niagara. The
steamer Niagara, of the line of Ward
& Co., is q Arst-class iron passenger
steamer, and made her first trip in
June, 1876. Notwithstanding due
cleanliness, she went into New York
with yellow fever aboard on her fourth
trip, about September, 1879, and has
had cases on board every season since
that time. These facts were obtained
from the captain, and are attributed
by him and DR.. Burgess to faulty
structure and continued infection,
which both gentlemen deem remedia-
BILE. The result of this faulty strpc-
ture is that some two inches of bilge
water cannot be pumped out. Dr.
VanderpoeI. Of New York, has been
notified of the chief facts Of the two
cases developed upon her last trir
from New York, prior to her entering
the barbOr Of Hnyapa,

Advice to a Young Man.

Burlington Hawkeye.l
Another thing, son, you want to re-
member, that wearing twenty inches
Of coat propped out across sixteen
inches of shoulder doesn't make a
gymnast Of you by any means, any
more than straight back, a measured
step, and a Burnside hat with cord
and acorn give you a war record.
There have been young men, aye, and
old men, too, before your time, who
owed the tailor for their chest and
shoulders, and owed for them a preci-
GUS long time, too. There have been
young men who could waltz for an
hour and sixty-eight minutes without
once sitting down to rest, who couldn't t
saw enough wood to warm flannel
cake, not if starvation stared them in
the face and tried to drive them to it,
Men will admire your crooked legs il
your trousers are paid for, and il
your back is so lopsided that you have
to keep your helm hard a-port all the
time to keep from walking around the
block to starboard, when you want TO
go straight ahead, you'll never think
Of it if you don't owe for your coat
that lies in such ungainly, honest
wrinkles across it, The man who
doesn't owe a dollar is a GOOD
man, even If he hasn't crust to eat
in the house. And don't borrow. II
you cant get along without having
more than you've got, don't borrow
steal. You'll feel better about it, sp5
as a general thing, you will be more
respected and less teFmepted,

The hot weather in New Orleans, the
danger Of yellow fever there, and.
above all, the fact that that city is not
Ills home, and that he has no friends
among the respectable citizens there,
are sufficient to keep him in his quar-
ters at Wizards Hotel. All the
other members of the senate, even
Bruce, the colored man from Missis-
aippi, had loving homes to return to
and sincere friends to greet them
npon their return, but the sole carpet
Dagger in the senate, who is there by
fraud and bribery, has no home OF
Friends among the people whom he
brazenly assumes to represent, and as
they are as repugnant and offensive to
him as he is to them, and as they are
( in large majority" he stays away
from hem as much as possible.

Little Rock Democrat, Ait: Our dis
patches to-day announce an alter
cation as occurring at Denver, between
Colonel Curry and Senator Dorsey, in
which the former got in couple of
blows on the senator, and all about a
distribution of Federal honors in this
Democratic State. In the language
of the man, when his mother-in-law
was fighting a bar, we say let them
fight 1t out, and shout hurrah for both.
