A STAR PERFORMANCE.

One Star at the Theater COniQMe Shoots 4,l-
other, His Wife, With No Other Ercuse
Bat the Common Mortal Failing of Jeal-
ousy--The WOMHd Serious, But May Not
Result FatalIy--The Shooter Locked Up.
About quarter to six O'Clock last night
young man, considerably blown, rushed into
the police station and said man had
murdered his wife. After recovering
his breath he said the murder had
taken place at Browns boarding house. A
half dozen policemen and GLOBE reporter
started for the scene, and found the inmates of
the house in state of wild excitement. The
house is at the coruer of Second avenue and
Second street north and is occupied by w. W.
Brown, proprietor of the Theater Comique,
who keeps boarding house for the employees
of his establishment on First avenue south.
The parties to the shooting were Charles
Grear and Nellie Waters, his wife, both variety
stars employed at the Theater Comique.
Grear, who has been more or less drunk for
the past week, being jealous, yesterday had
several quarrels with his wife, threatening
numerous times to finish her. About O'Clock
he went to her bedroom, and after charging
her with being criminally intimate with other
men, said he had great mind to kill her. She
dared him to do it, whereupOn he pulled out
revolver and fired. The first ball took effect
over and near the left nipple, and just as he
was firing the second time young man named
Charles Voight seized his arm and
the bullet lodged in the wall above.
Grear then ran out of the house, walked about
some time came back and was arrested by
Officers Byrnes and Marsh and taken to the
lookup. DR.. Salisbury was called and probed
for the bullet but couldn't find it. 1t is
thought the wound is serious one, but re-
covery is not impossible.

THERE seems to be a necessity for some
such amendment to the State constitution
as was on Saturday proposed in the House
by Mr.. Daniels. 1t contemplates the
abolition of the sixty days Limitation
upon the sessions of the legislature, and
provides that members be allowed fixed
compensation for their services, whether
the session is long or short, While sixty
days was a long enough session for the
legislature when annual meetings were
held, it is not long enough under the BIZ
ennial rule There is more legislation
needed than can be properly matured and
considered in so short a space of time,
and the result will probably be the enact
ment Of many imperfect and pcrniclous
laws Some change is needed, and the
one suggested by Mr.. Daniels appears to
be an easy avenue of escape from diff
Culties of no mean proportions.

"UncIe Toms Cabin"

Once again our citizens will have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing this popular drama, the
season opening this evening. The Seneca
Courier says of the company:
The Boston Ideal com pany, in their play of
Uncle Toms Cabin, at Daniels hall, on Tues
day evening, drew the largest house of any
company that has played here this season.
Doubtless their popular prices had much to
do with filling the house, but the entertain
ment was good one and gave entire salts
faction. Mrs Belle Slader as Topsy was ex-
cellent, this part being sustained in better
style than has heretofore been seen here.
Aside from the regular play the variety enter
ment was well conceived and very amusing,
particularly the part of the Yankee, by Yankee
knight. Eva, taken by little girl of three or
four years, was remarkably well personated.
The troupe is deserving of patronage.

Largest Business House in the West TO be
Erected.
A decd was filed in the registers office yester.
day OF the valuable real estate ou Third street be-
lowSiblcy formerly owned by George Sherwood
and Amos w. Hall and occupied previous TO
the fire by AverilI, Russell & Carpen-
ter. The property was transferred TO
Mr.. Clough, of Minneapolis, and yester
day Mr.. Cloughs deed to ?. II.

fifty feet front on Third street and adjoins the
Wright property occupied by Mr.. Kelly pre-
vious to the fire. Mr.. Kelly has leased OF the
Wright estate the building to be erected on IFS
old Site and GLOBE reporter called on him
yesterday to ascertain what he proposed to do
with his present purchase. The reporter
learned that he designs to join the Wright es
tate in erecting a magnificent building for his
mammoth grocery house. The building will
be $50 feet front by $50 deep, five stories and
basement, and will be the most
immense business structure west of Chicago.
When questioned as to the report that the two
wholesale grocery houses in Minneapolis were
to unite with him, Mr.. Kelly was reticent, but
stated that his plans contemplated the largeri
grocery establishment in the west, not except
ing Chicago and ST. Louis. The entire build
ing will bc used for the grocery business, there
not being so much as desk room to rent 10 ai

that the Vice President is not invested

1t i. an established fact that the party who
gets the best of a sewing machine agent must
be "siick" one. G. F. jackson, the agent
for the Davis sewing machine for this State,
has the reputation among business men of
being particularly shrewd, and until he was
'takeB in and done for" by John C. McNaugh
ton, prided himself on the fact of his never
having been 'left'' in any transaction.
The telegram published in yesterdays GLOBE
from Detective Hoy, stating that he would
leave Denver, Colorado, to-day and bring back
with him McNaughton, led a GLOBE repre-
sentative to call on Mr.. Jackson and learn the
facts in the case. 1t appears that about four
months ago McNaughton, accompanied by
his family, consisting of his wife and two
children, came to Minneapolis from Lake Park,
a small town on the Northern Pacific road.
He claimed to come from Montreal and was in
troduced to Jackson by responsible parties.
He seemed dcsirous of going into business, and
partnership was arranged with Jack
$4,000. The money he did not have
in cash but he said he owned property in
Montreal. On the ground of this assertion,
backed up by letters having the postmark of
that place, Jackson loaned his new partner
about $1,000, taking as security mortgages
on the Canadian property, signed by Nc
Naughton and his wife. After getting the

Montreal, but it was under his control,

son to bring back, at his Gackson's) expense,
the wife of his transient partner who will be
requested to sxplain why she affixed her name
to the transfer papers. On being asked if the
money was refunded would he press his
charge, Jackson said he thought very little
if any Of the amount was left, and as he felt
now, thought it would make no difference, al
though he would like to get his money back.

SCARCITY OF WATER.
New York City Threatened With a Water
Famine-lncrease of Sickness In Conse-

New York City Threatened With Water
Famine-Increase of sickness in Conse-
quence of the Short Supply.
New YORK, Feb. Ga scarcity of water is
felt in this city and many adjoining localities.
In Newburg and other Hudson river towns
for ordinary use, and it is not impossible some
such device may yet have to be resorted to in
this city unless there is decided change of
weather. The pressure of water in the pipes
has been gradually lessened until there are few
places in the city where water will not ascend
above the first floor. The consequence is
suffering among the poor in upper rooms of
tenements. The board of health say the in
crease in sickness in this city is partly due to
the short supply of water, which leaves the
sewers, drains and pipes in an unclean condi-
tion. Croton aqueduct is now
running at maximum height,
supplying 95,0o0,OO0 gallon of water
daily, and yet the consumption of water ex-
ceeds the supply from the acqueduct over
100000 gallons daily. The depth of water
in the reservoirs has been gradually lessened
within a short time from twenty-eight to
twenty-three feet. Therefore the department
of public works will not any longer allow q
greater consumption than the quantity sup
piled by the aqueduct. This will still further
relieve the pressure in the pipes.
Croton river is now only running
about $50, 100000 gallons daily, which makes
it necessary 10 draw 81 900, 900 gallons daily
from the storage reservoirs. A large number
of water inspectors to prevent waste have been
put on and the department of public works is
doing everything possible to avert what may
be great public calamity.

THE fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States provides
that ''when the right to vote at any cleo
tion" II x X " is denied to anv of
the male inhabitants Of such States, being
twenty-one years Of age, and citizens of
the United States, or in any way abridged,
except for participation in rebellion or
other crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the proportion
which the number of such male citizens
shall bear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty one years of age in such
State" The attention of members of
Congress should be called to this pro-
vision, and also to the fact that in all of
the New England States the right of
suffrage is denied to thousands of citizens
for the reason that they do not own a
specified amount of property If pow
erty is Il crime, these States should not
suffer reduction of their
representation in Congress. if
not the constitution should
be enforced as to them. A specimen of
the injustice that is wrought by this vio-
lation of the fourteenth amendment is
the case of Rhode Island, which, having
two Representatives in Congress, polled
less than one-half of the number of votes
polled in the Third district In Rhode
Island only one out of nine of the popu-
q lation voted at the last election, while in
Minnesota one out of five of the popula-
tlon exercised the privilege of citizenship.
1t will thus be seen that four-ninths of
the adult males of Rhode Island are dis
franchised for the sole crime of poverty.
The same proportion will hold good in
nearly all the New England States. As
long as such outrages exist in Republi-
can States, the members of that party
have no right to complain that a few
people are not permitted to vote in the
Southern States

ST. PAUL, Feb. 3.-By an examination of

driven 400 empires from the State in two

The Lives of Our Innocent Children
I'm Dan0eF


SAVANNAH, May 27-Editor Morning Ne,Os;
In the local columns of your valuable paper
attention was called to the trimming at
large of cows on the Streets" AS one in
stance of the great danger to citizens and
particularly to children ] will mention an
occurrence on last Thursday, 10Th inst. A
lady, the wife OF citizen residing on Lib
erty street, was sitting on the front piazza
with a young child just ord enough to tod
die around. The little one was playing on
and off the piazza and pavement A num-
Der of cows were standing at a gate short
distance away. In an instant, and before
the mother could prevent, one Of the COWS
ran at the little one, caught it on her horns
and tossed 1t out into the street. The child
was apparently much hurt. But it was as
certained by the phycisian who was called
in at once, that fortunately there was no
serious injury, the horns of the COW not
entering the child's flesh, and the earth
being soft where 1t fell. But such danger
Gus occurrences should be provided against
by our authorities, and could be II the ordi
nances were enforced. Had the child in
this case been terribly Gored, or had 1t
fallen on the brick pavement, 1t would most
probably have lost its life. The
custom of turning cows in and
out of gates ON our public streets
aud thoroughfares should be stopped.
Our city has convenient lanes, where there
are few dwellings, comparatively no passers-
by, and consequently little danger, especial
ly to small children. And, in addition to
the lessening OF the chances for iDjuring or
killing, the pavements and sidewalks can
be kept clean and free from filth, which is
at this time, and has been for some time
past, great nuisance to residents on
