The Aibemaile plauehIng msicb came of

The exhibition was entirely satisfactory
and after The match came the banquet, whea
viii and WINE flowed TO almost on unlimited
degree. These contests are gaining in in
ieresl and importance.
on Saturday night about O'Clock the re-
mort OF a pistol was heard on llill street
near the Methodist church, and II was as
certa,ned that Cary Ann Watson had been
shot in the back by a col0red man named
Jones. IL seems that this woman had been
for some time separated from her husband,
Watson, who was employed on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad somewhere near
Wayue sboIo', and for some time there had
been no communication between them. The
man Jones who did the shooting was one
OF Captain Bush's hands, and had come
down on the construction tram. which
stopped mere for the night. He visited the
woman Cary Ann oslcnsibly for the pur-
pose OF hearing news If her husband. He
accompanied her out on the street TO the
shops, and returned with her to her house.
Arriyilg at the gate, she excused herself
from asking bin 10 on the ground or SICK
ness in thefamily. AS she turned TO enter
the gate j mes drew hi~ pistol and fired, the
ball entering near the spine, Just above the
kidneys, making a very serious il not NOR
tal wound. Her condlti,n is critical. Jones
immediately fed and concealed himself In a
caboose, where he was arrested and lodged
in jail. IL is believed that the husband OF
the woman has some agency IN the affair.
