A Sad Affair.

A Boy Shot and Perhaps Fatally
 Wounded by Another Lad-The Ball
 Passes Nearly Through the Body-A Sad
 Fourth for Two Families.
 very sad affair took place on Elm street at about p. m on the Fourth, causing much regret and sorrow. Two young lads, one a seven years old son of John Rowan, florist, employed by R. Veitch & Son, and the other his younger brother, were playing in front of their fathers house, No. 3O3 Elm street An other boy, named Jorey, nine years old, on the other side of the street, crossed over, and pointing pistol he had been playing with at little Johnnie told him to look out, as the pls- toI had a ball in it and he might get shot, or words to that effect, then firing the pistol, the ball taking effect in the Rowan boys body in the right side of the abdomen, just under the ribs. The injured boy fell to the ground, crying sOh! don't shoot me '" Young Jorey ran down the street. The wounded boy crawled into the house on his hands and knees, the blood running from hls wound in small stream. Dr. Francis Bacon was called and extracted the bullet near the childs backbone. It had gone completely through him. Dr. Bacon reported the case to the police. The boy was unknown De- tectiye Reilly arrested several, but they were not the right ones, and finally arrested Jorey, and Rowan identified him. Jorey cried and denied the shooting, but yesterday morning admitted it. He was brought to the city court building yesterday morning, but was deemed too young to prosecute He was held, however, in $25O to appear on the 18th and answer for an assault with intent to kill. MT. Cable defended The boy isa son of Jorey, the weIl-known marksman; and the pistol, 22-inch caliber Stafford, was present from his father. Be shot blank cartridges and then got ball cartridges at house on Orchard street. The Jorey boy said the other boy gave him leave to fire, when being examined before the authorities yesterday, and so, he contin' ued, fired, but didn't knowI was going to make hole in him. The father gave his boy only blank cartridges, and feels terribly since the act of his son. He said the boy was very nervous, and had been troubled long with something like St. Vitus' dance. Dr. Russell also attended the injured boy yes terday afternoon, and found that the liver had been pierced by the bullet. The boy was bearing up with great fortitude. The wound is of very serious nature

The adjoining Merrill building was soon involved, but good portion of the stock was removed Mir. Merrill had an in surance of $1, 900 on his building, $500 on dock which was not damaged, and some $1, GOO on his stock, which will about half GOV CT his loss. The Lockwood building was oc- cupied by S.Spiro as clothing store, and by P. F. Sheehan & Go. as a cigar and tobacco manufactory. MT. s. claims to have had about $2, 600 in stock on hand, with an in surance of $1, 200. Sheehan claims stock of $1, 200 in tobacco and cigars, and $900 insu- rance.

The losses upon both buildings is about total. The NorwaIk Gazette more than half a century ago occupied the upper part of the original portion of one of the buildings.
