THE CHICAGO SHOOTING.
Much Excitement Still Prevailing
sharpshooters Apparently Without
Excuse,

CHICAGO, June 23.-The picnic riot continues
to be the absorbing theme. A good deal Of
bad blood has been stirred up. One thing Is
certain, the Communists will hardly dare to
parade any more with their guns. Two
policemen who were at the. picnic say they
were close to Lieut.. Ludweio when he gave
the order to load and fire on the crowd. They
more policemen to dispense the crowd. The
sharpAhooters, however, paid no attention to
this advice, but rushed at the crowd and fired.
The police officers say LudWeic and nearly
all OF his men were under the influence Of
LIQUOR to such an extent as to be beyond the
reach Of reasoning, and acted very recklessly.
At all events the Socialistic company fired q
number 81 shots, perhaps an entire round, by
which five persons at least were wounded, and
the charge. The Socialists gums were loaded
with homemade cartridges, containing seven
buckshot each. The great wonder is that
more damage was not done. The police of
that district say the sharpshOOters were par
tally intoxicated before they arrived ut the

The sharpshooters were arraigned before
Justice Walsh, Of the West Side police court,
this afternoon. AS the condition Of DonohOe,
the most serious wounded man, is still criti-
cal, the cases were continued until tomorrow

Iii the row, but had been to Douglass Park
and on his return arrived at the scene just as

A BLAZE ON WHEELS.

The Wagon of the septoline Oil Com
pany Destroyed by Fire, and the
Driver Seriously Burned.
At o'clock this morning, at the corner OF
Tonti and Canal streets, while q boy named
Louis Laftte was driving horse attached to
wagon, the property of the SeptoIine Oil
Company, at No II Dauphine street. the
wagon took fire, and In a very short time was
totally destroyed.
It appears that the wagon is used to deliver
oil In cans and is generally pretty well sat
urated with the fluid. Last night as the boy
was about to drive into the city he lighted q
lamp for his better guidance, owing to the
darkness, and the light coming In contact
with the well-oiled wagon, the whole vehicle
was In blaze, and the boy was forced TO
quickly leap from his seat In order to save his
own life.
The youth had enough presence OF mind,
however, to attempt to unharness the horse
from the shafts, In which he succeeded and
saved the animals life. While thus trying
to save the animal he was himself seriously
burned about the hands, face and ankles.
The Rampant street Babeock ran on the re-
Election, but before they reached the wagon it
was destroyed

Who Has Been Frightening q Whole
Eami1v by Her Vaparies.

VINO HAS Been ffIBHteu1uS " w Aulu
Family by Her Vagaries.
Mrs, Mathe residing on Dumaine street, be-
tween Rampant and st. Claude, has female
enemy who wishes to annihilate her and her
whole family, and she proposes to do 1t by
Voudouism. This fact has been openly de-
monstrated by the vicious believer In the
power, but SO far she has not been successful.
Her attempts have been often and varied. yet
fruitless, except In 80 far as annoying Mrs.
Mathe and her family.
Friday week ago this wickedly inclined
woman, whoever she may be, while Mrs.
Mathe and her family were asleep, repaired
to her residence and covered the steps lead
Ing from the street with oil, teeth OF AMI
mails, horses, hair, herbs and fins of fishes.
As this amount Of trash did not produce
the desired result, the Voudou missionary
repaired to the house Sunday Iday night and ap

Ing discovered the work OF the voudou wo-
man. It consisted In the steps being first
colored with a heavy coat OF coal tar, which
| was dotted with large drops OF candle grease.
On the third step was placed small coffin
containing the figure OF baby, and around
| the coffin were placed several small candles.
On the lid of the coffin rested two matches,
crossed to represent, ss,bones, which was
the head OF the coffin. To the right OF the
coffin was cake OF red soap In the shape OF a
heart, while two large animals teeth were to
the left.
When Mrs. Mathe discovered the things on
her doorsteps, although she is not believer
In voudouism, she was terribly shocked, and
nothing can persuade her to believe but that
it is the forerunner Of some terrible catas-
trophe that will happen either to herself or to
some member of her household. Some gen
tlemen have interested themselves in the
case, and are on the watch for this voudou
mischief-maker.

The "Sawdust" Swindle.
The New York Sun says:

Ihe New / 1ork Sun says:
Detective Francis and Officer
Boyle of Jersey City last night
arrested Charles Williams, of
|123 West street this city, on a
charge of practicing the "Saw-
dust" swindle on Adam Little
and j. Ill. Blackburn Of Liberty,
Tennessee. 1t is alleged that
the two Tennesseeans had paid
$310 for $4,000 worth Of coun-
terfeit bank notes, having been
lured on by an advertisement.
Williams gave them a box on
the cars in the Pennsylvania
Railroad Depot in Jersey City,
which purported to contain the
notes. The officers saw this
and arrested the three. The box
contained a package of blank
paper with two dollar note on
top and one dollar note on the
bottom, and lot of dried peas.
The three prisoners were locked
up.

who was the notorious "Guer-
rilla" during the late troubles,

She Decided to Stay Unmarri-
ed

1t seems that a young man
and woman of Bucksport, Me-,
were not so much married as
they thought they were, a short
time ago. They met, and were
each charmed with the others
qualities. A mutual friendship
sprang up, which in a few days
ripened into love. 1t was a.
greed that they should be mar
ried, and, after a brief lapse of
time, they visited a we'll known
Justice of the Peace in that
town, aud were married, or sup
posed they were. Two weeks
passed on, and the discovery
was made by the supposed JUS
tice Of the Peace that his term
of office had expired prior TO
the marriage ceremony, and
that the couple were not legal
ly married. The surprise of
the man and and his affianced,
when the state of the case was
told them, can hardly be imagil-
ed. They had lived togetheras
man and wife for two weeks,
and the announcement Of the
fact that they were not married
created quite a sensation. But
the sequel is even stranger than
what went before. The would
be husband said to his intended
wife that they would go and sec
some one who really was a JUS
tice of the Peace, and get legal
ly married. She said she be-
lieved she had had enough of
married life for the present; and,
persisting in that opinion, she
left town the next day for Bos-
ton.

Some Superior Snow.

The way the snow hangs on.
writes a correspondent of the
Springfield Republican, reminds
me of a story told at the ex-
pense of a driver of a stage be-
tween North Adams and Viii
Jamestown, Mass, that happened
last winter. The road was bad
ly drifted, and locomotion slow,
"You have considerable snow up
here?' the passenger said, Poin-
ting to long stretch of Level
before them, Jehu replied: 'Do
you see that cut ahead of you,
and then that fiat?" The stran-
ger saw it. "Well," he contin-
ued, 81 don't suppose you'd be-
lieve it, but I've seen snow on
that flat forty feet deep for foul
monthsl" and he rolled his eyes
around to see what kind of a
story that was. But the stran-
ger didn't smile; he wasn't at all
abashed, but quietly replied
"Well, that is pretty deep, | con-
fess, but where / came from we
have deeper snow than that. We
have it SO deep out there that
we don't pretend to use it unit
it's three years old, Mr.. Driverr
And then neither of them smiled
and the remainder of the journ-
ey was made in silence.

LITTLE BY LITTLE.
One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mcnded,
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One fake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral-workers,
By their slow but constant motion,
Have built these pretty islands
In The distant dark blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
By oft-repeated efforts
Have been patiently achieved.
Then do not look disheartened
Ger the work you have 10 do,
And say that such a mighty task,
You never can get through;
But just endeavor day by day
Another point TO gain,
And soon the mountain which you feared
Will prove TO be pIaiu.
"Rome was not built in day"
The ancient proverb teaches;
And Nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermon breaches.
Think not Of far-off duties,
But of duties which are near;
And having once begun 10 work,
Resolve to persevere.

they would get him out. Jim

A Singular Fact.

A recent traveller in Mexico,
who visited the mines there dur
ing his journey says that he
was much astonished at seeing.
the men who carry the ore come
out of the mine each with one
eye shut. The foreman, seeing
his surprise, explained the mat
ter. lie said the candles be-
longing to the tarateres (who
drill and blast) do not give suf-
ficient light in the drifts where
it is consequently quite dark,
but nevertheless the tarateros
sec well enough not to run
their heads against the rocks.
But, on emerging into daylight,
they would be blinded did they
not take precautionary meas
ures. For this reason, as they
approached the mouth Of the
shaft, at the point where they
catch the first glimpse of LIGHT,
they drop the eyelid ofone eye,
and keep this down while thew
are discharging their orc and
until they have redescended the
shaft. When they are again
in the dark, they open the eye
kept hitherto in reserve, and at
once see everything distinctly,
while the other eye previously
open and somewhat blinded by
daylight perceiveS nothing at
all.
