CHARGE
On the Light Brigade.

About half past two o'clock this
morning, while standing on tie corner
of Vance and Lauderdale streets, Ser
geant Kunholz heard the report of a
small pistol followed by two loud
shots. H%urrying in the direction of
the sound, he discovered colored pat
rolman j. h. Carter, a new appointee,
standing in the middle Of the pave
ment at the corner Of Cynthia street,
facing the other way.
Whats the matter, Carter?" asked
the Sergeant.
I've been shot at" he answered.
by whom?"
Didn't you meet a passed. of men
and women when you came down the
street,"
YES" Kunholz answered.
well, they shot at me-" u~aively
replied this bold guardian of the
peace.
The "passel" Carter spoke Of we're
still in sight and easily captured by
Kunholz, who, after searching for and
finding a pistol, asked for an explana-
ton. One of the girls, Ida Shaw,
replied that she had been play
ing with the pistol, which
was a small affair, and hat shortly
after passing Carter she had acci-
dentally fred it. The girl added that
Carter Immediately drew his pistol
and fred twice, though the party were
not certain he fred at them. Carter
admitted afterward that this state
|ment was true. The two men and
women were taken to the stationhouse,
where they registered as Dick Cornell,
Charles Mcclure, Hattie Sandlin and
Ida Shaw, all colored, the three first
charged with disorderly conduct and
the last with carrying concealed
weapons.
Charges of unoficerlike conduct and
inefiCiency were at once preferred
against Carter by his superior officers.
At trial Of the Ease to day, all par
ties were discharged except Ida Shaw,
who was fined $50, half of which was
RENTED on account of her sex.
Carter will probably have a hearing
tomorrow.

CIearing House Report.
Using a Gun Camera.
London Engineering.


In taking instantaneous photographs
it is we'll known that some difficulty is
experienced in bringing the object into
the field of the camera The process of
taking aim at, for instance, a moving
object, such asa ship,has sometimes to
be repeated several times, and in the
end result is unsatisfactory. II. Marcy
has, to get over this difficulty, designed
a photograph gun. This is neither
more no less than a very large revolver,
with a stock to put to the shoulder.
The barrel is a telescope-that is to
say, it contains the lenses ola camera;
there are sixteen apertures, which
take the place Of the chambers. The
photographer puts in a sensitized
plate behind these apertures, and per-
forming an operation analogous to
cooking the weapon, he is ready for
the field.
On seeing a flying bird he takes aim
and pulls the trigger, the chamber re-
wolves once, and in one second he
obtains sixteen little pictures of the
bird in various positions. Hitherto
NJ. Marcy has made the use ofhis
Photographic gun for the purpose of
investigating the fight OF birds. In
this case c%learness Of definition is Of
little consequence, so long as a dark
image or silhouette the shape
of the bird is obtained.
so that it matters little whether the
object aimed at be focused or not; but
it is obvious that in a multitude of
other cases the image can be obtained
perfectly in focus. Indeed, it will be
seen that the system Of thus carrying
a small camera to be steadied against
the shoulder, admits of the utmost
service to the photographer.

out and return at convenient hours,
and the round trip rate, including
admittance to the grove, will be only
fifty cents. Everything seems favorable
for a gala time at the Land Leaguers

Young, the stranger who died by

a few days since, was buried in the
Odd Fellows cemetery at Georgetown,
Ohio, last Tuesday, the remains hav-
ing been forwarded frem this city. He
was an intelligent youth of nineteen,
and son of W. w. Young, an attorney
of Georgetown. On a March night in
1881, Edward Young shot and killed
George Ashmore and Clinton Camp
bell, also wounded James Ashmore.
The fracas happened in a grocery store
at Georgetown. He had two trials,
one for killing Clinton Campbell, the
other for killing Ashmore, both re-
sulting in acquittal. He afterwards
left Georgetown and attended a COM
mercial college at Cincinnati. Visions
of his victims always before him, and
remorse Of mind, is assigned as the
cause of his tragic end.
