Shooting ARRAY.

Some time Monday night a young man
named j. II. Coveny. cook by trade, was
shot by sone party. or parties, on Cumberland,
near Smith street. The wounded man found
his way to the Merchants Exchange Hotel
where he had previously boarded-about a.
H., and told Mr.. Frank Smith, son of tha
proprietor. who was in the office, he had been
shot, displaying the wound. He was about to
tell his story when a hackman interrupted him
and he went off. Soon after he was brought
home to his brothers who resides in the rear
of India street, in one Of Simonton's new
houses.
Yesterday DR.. Buzzell was ent for. He
found wound had been inflicted on Coveny
by bullet from small pistol; one that at any
distance could probably have had little effect.
This shot had been fired so near the person
that Coveny's shirt was burned by the powder.
The bullet struck rib near the heart and
glanced. The location of the wound was such
it could not be probed with safety. 1t is pos
sible the wound may prove fatal but yesterday
the doctor considered Coveny better and the
chances in his favor
Coveny declined to give any reason for the
shooting, Or to see Marshal Bridges He told
the doctor he was the one to blame and the
particulars are secret, and the doctor re-
fused to allow any one 10 see Coveny or to tell
the story. What caused the shooting is there
fore unknown The police knew nothing of
the affair until yesterday further than that
there was rumor of a shooting scrape. 1t
is reported that woman is at the bottom of
the trouble.

RUSSIA.
Selma Borg's Lecture.

good sized audience assembled in High
ST. Church vestry last evening to hear Miss
norgs lecture on Russia. The speaker re-
viewed the history of Russia in general terms
ana spoke OF the power exerted by the Swedes
III establishing powerful arstocracy in Rus
sla' and referred to the causes that led to the
separation of the church in the east from the
Roman Catholic church, and the great wrongs
suffered by the people who have to live under
ruler who is supreme in church matters as
Woii as those of state. She drew a most vivid
picture of inner life in Russia and told in
pathetic language of the fearful wrongs in
hicted on 100000 of people by an emperor
whose power knows no limit Free speech is
something unknown in Russia The father
ana mother of family do not dare to talk of
their wrongs lest they should utter some words
which would be regarded as treason and incur
the fearful punishment of being exiled to
siberia, which is worse than death itself.

warmed her hearers to be on their guard lest

Attempted Suicide.

On Tuesday last an attempt at suicide was
made in DeeriDg. Mr.. Israel Hunt is a far
mer residing on road just this side of the
White House. One of his sons, named Ed
ward, young man about 26 years of age,
went into an upper room on the day in ques-
ton. The report of a gun was heard and a
y-6rother of Edwards went to the room whence
the report proceeded He found Edward
standing erect, with a smoking gun in his
hands, and the blood streaming from wound
in his head. He was able to walk down stairs
to another room, without assistance and doc
tors were sent for. They said it would be in
possible to extract the ball without causing a
fatal result but that it was possible The in
jured man might live if the ball was undis-
turbed. No explanation is given of the rash
deed but the young man said he intended to
kill himself four weeks ago. Young Hunt is
a facmer and worked last season for J. Wins
low Jones. He is unmarried.
