A MYSTERIOUS SHOT.
A Rnilet Meant to XIII THAT Left no Trace
In Shutters or Door.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Dec. 7.-Mrs. Jose
phine Howard of Jerusalem, In Southamp-
ton county, was last night sitting in her
room near the fire. The room had only one
window which was closed, and the heavy
board shutters were also clt sed and bolted.
The door, which is of heavy oak, was also
locked. AS she sat looking into the fire she
was startled by pistol shot which ap-
peared to come from the. centre Of the
rooN. She rose suddenly and looked
around, but saw no one. Then she
became conscious that she had been
shot in the abdomen, and she fell to the
floor. Her cries brought her family 10 the
scene. They had to force the door, which
was still locked, and the window shutter
was still bolted on the inside. There was
not crack In either the door or the shutter
through which the shot could have been
fired. The bed and wardrobe were searched,
but there was no trace of lurking assassin
in either; nor could such have escaped
without being seen, as one of the sons of
the lady was at the door during the search.
Mrs. Howard lies in critical condition.
All attemps fail to solve the mystery as to
who fired the shot.

men. The peacemakcrs were successful,
but the meeting was at once adjourned after
the announcement that subscriptions to

THE OHRIsTIANA FRozIE OVER.
Record OF the Mercury All Over the
Country - Railroads Blockaded Out
West - Local Navigation Likely t.
Close.

When Wilmington people went to bed last
night frigid hurricane was blowing and the
weather was growing colder each moment
this morning they got up with bowling
blizzard at their doors and the thermometer
at 100. The change has been a remarkably
sudden one, and shivering humanity as It
hurried along the street to-day seemed to
yearn for summer again. Dispatches to the
GAZETTE yesterday stated the rapid fall in
the nlurcury in various part of the country,
and tbe cold wave appears to have swept
over the entire country, coming roaring
down from the northwest and spreading out
as 1t came along. The temperature in Min
nesota yesterday morning was 200 below
zero. In Missouri, Illinois and Indiana it
ranged from zero to Is below. Throughout
the Lake region snow fell to depth OF from
two to four inches, and there was violent
gale. The harbor at Chicago was frozen over.
AT Clevelrrd, Ohio, railroad travel was in
terrupted. At st. Louis, "a slight snow fall on
wednesday evening was followed by fur-
ous wind, which sent down the temperature
nearly 40 degrees and levelled nearly all
the telegraph wires leading northwest and
south. telegram from La Crosse, Wis
cousin, says the temperature there yester-
day morning was 25 below zero, and at noon
III below. gale of wind, accompanied by
snow, prevailed yesterday in Buffalo, the
zero. All the trains in that section were
from two to six hours late, and on the
Grand Trunk road all freights were aban-
doned. The weather throughout the
Canadian province Of Ontario was very cold,
with driving snow storm, which blocked
all the roads. In Washington, at midnight
last night, the thermometer at the Signal
Office marked above zero, and 1t was fall
ing at the rate OF one degree every As
minutes.
This morning in Wilmington the ther-
mometer indicates from 100 to 16o above
zero, and ut some points it was a degree or
two higher. At Rockland at Z O'Clock the
thermometer was 90.
THE CHRIsTIANA FROZEN.
Ice formed last night on the Christana
to depth Of half an inch. 1t was broken
up by the first tugs running this morning
and the stream to-day is full of floating ice
cakes. The steamer s. NJ. Felton has bit it
very nicely by arranging to stop running
for the season tomorrow. AS things ap-
pear now navigation will be closed after
that date.
Bushes and Warmers freight lines to
Philadelphia are expected TO be running for
some time yet. 1t is expected that the Del
aware and Raritan canal, through which
the electric line runs to New York, will
close on the Goth. Whether the present
snap will cause them 10 close sooner remains
to be seen.

PETITION FOR LOCAL OPTION.
70 The Honorable, the members of the
Senate and The House Of Representatives of
The State Of Deldware: The undersigned
voters, and other persons residing in -
county of the State of Delaware, respect
fully submit for your consideration, that, in
our Judgment, both the authorized and the
unauthorized sale of intoxicating liquors,
are productive of evil, only evil, and that
continually. Briefly we thus sum up the
evil results
The inevitable immortality, poverty ,degra-
dation and suffering, which intemperance
entails on thousands of families, are the
Legitimate fruit of the liquor traffic.
The peace and good order of society are
continually disturbed, and the record of
crime is fearfully augmented by the extern
sion and continuance of the liquor traffic.
Taxation is increased beyond the ordinary
need OF good government, because of the
expenses Incurred for the punishment of
criminals and the support of paupers, in our
State. This outlay, probably, exceeds the
entire revenue from the liquor sellers and
distillers, not less than three fold-or three
times as much more. And whatever the
excess of that expenditure may be, over this
revenue, is the exact amount Of the addi-
tional tax imposed annually, upon the vir-
tuous poor, the sober, the honest, the indus
trlous, the thrifty citizens of Delaware-to
uphold the agents and instruments of in
temperance. Aud this cannot be much
less than $4,000 yearly, in our State.
For these sufficient reasons we earnestly
pray your honorable bodies, during the
present session of the Legislature, 10 enact
a Local Option law, to be submitted to the
voters of - county which shall author
ize majority of those voting in favor of
the law, to prevent the sale of intoxicating
liquors as beverage, within its limits.
