Lieut.. Pedrin. formerly an officer under Marquez, WAS shot Tuesday night in a drunken affray by one Celestine Gonzalez. The ball entered the breast about two inches above the heart and passed through coming out under the shoulder blade The wound is dangerous but not neces- sariIy fatal one. Gonzales has the rSpu- tati0n of being quiet, peaceable man, and from all accounts acted strictly on the defensive. Pedrin refuses to make & complaint, as he acknowledges himself to be entirely in the blame, being under the influence of liquor at the time. We hope this will be warning to the gallant lieu tenant. as he has made one or two bluffs while here in town that were anthing but creditable to him.

chants have been Obliged to ask extensions,

money might be had to pay the assessments,

subjects murdered in order that these helllsh

An effort was made only last week in the
Pennsylvania Legislature to pass bill for the
regulation and ultimate suppression Of these
Ubiquitous assessment concerns, bu! failed be-
cause it IS affirmed that large proportion Of
the members of the Legislature were holders of
these speculative policies
The press. however, has an immense power,
and am happy to say it is being used in the
right direction. The diabolical wickcdness of
these schemes is being made clear, the opera
tors are placed IN their true light before the
public, and there IS some reason to hope that
public opinion will compel these gamblers in
human life to stop their hellish business.
