youth named George Acker, aged seven
teehj at Catasaugua on Monday night Ack-
er received a pistol ball in his cheek which,
passing under the tongue, lodged in the
neck iuflicting a dangerous and probably
fatal wound. The shooting was done out
side the tent at a circus. Sewers disappear
ed from Catasauqua shortly after the shoot
ing and when arrested though denying that
he fired the shot,said that he feared that he
might be roughly handled ut Catasauqua.
1t appears that two shots were fired by two
different parties, and which one of them
fired the shot which struck Acker is in
doubt.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS SwINDLED OUT OF
S17,500 AT A BANco GAME.
Boston, April CA remarkable cOnspi-
racy to ext0rt money from Charles Francis
Adams and TO blackmail his family has just
come to light. The first intimati0n OF the
scheme was warning received by blr.
Adams's clerk last Friday that Mr.. Adams's
account at his bank had been oyerdrawn.
This was considered very surprising, rs he
was known to have $4,000 TO his credit
there. An investigation was at once be-
gun, and il was found that check for 3d..
500, regularly endorsed and signed by Mr..
Adams, but filled in by another hand, had
been deposited in the Merchants Bank some
time previously, and had, in due course OF
business, come around to Mr.. Adams's
bank. To-day j. s. Morrison was arrested
on the 10 O'Clock train for New York. He
made the statement that the check repre-
scented money that Mr.. Adams had lost at
gaming. The statement further shows that
Mr.. Adams, who is in feeble mental health,
and whose memory is impaired, was con-
sidered fit subject by tins man, who is in
terested in banco game, and that ii was be-
leved his family would pay any sum TO
avoid the publication OF the story. Mr..
Adams was met one day on the street by
Morrison, who assumed to be relative and
political friend of Mr.. Adams, and decoyed
him into place on Boylston street, where
the game was in progress. Mr.. Adams
was confused, and did not seem TO know
what he was about, and the sharpers
finally induced him to sign and en-
dorse three checks, one for S17,5O0,
one for $1,000, and one for $3.50. Nor
rison frankly said that he did not believe
Mr.. Adams knew what he was doing, and
observed Mr.. Adams after the swindle
coming from bis home without apparent
agitation; supposed the game had succeed
ed and Mr.. Adams had concluded to allow
the check to be paid. A man named J. +.
Norton is implicated, but has not yet been
arrested. Mr.. Adams's clerk, on discover
ing that this check had been deposited, had
the account trusteed and the matter placed
in the hands of detectives. Mr.. Adams is
seyenty-six years old, has been somewhat
i'll ior two years, and at times his mind is
affected. He does not yet seem to realize
the extent or nature OF the transaction.
The largest check only was deposited.
Mr.. Adams is the well-lInown statesman,
and at one time Minister 10 the Court OF
st. James, and has been frequently men,
toned as u candidate for the presidency.

ST. LOUIS, April 5.-The Methodist Con-
ference, which adjourned here last night,
brought forth row between the presiding
elder and a prominent minister, and
stormy scene was enacted. The church
was crowded, and il became known that
the Rev, DIR. G.. w. Hughey, who has hith-
erto had charge of Trinity, one OF the
largest Methodist churches in the city, had
been transferred TO the Carondeet church,
a charge not nearly so important and yield
ing only half the salary Of Trinity. AS
soon as the Conference was declared adj
journed, DIR. Hughey, accompanied by his
sons, met Presiding Elder Hagerty and the
Rev. DR.. b. St. James Fry in the aisle. In
an excited manner DR.. Hughey charged
the other two preachers with under
mining his character and improperly
influencing the Bishop to have him
assigned TO Carondelet. "That Is nice
way,n he exclaimed, s'to serve minister
with ministerial record Of thirty-three
years as good as any in the Conference"
DR.. Hughey's three sons were present, and
one of them (George), fourteen years OF age,
denounced DIR. Fry in vehement and pro-
fame language. DE- Fry replied 10 the
boy: 81 suppose YOU are son OF Hughey,
as you act and talk like that breed" The
boy immediately drew clasp-knife, and
was In the act OF opening 1t, when his sis

realized how his sons rashness had done

villain. what did you do that fory' The
lad replied: "Why, father, l want to cut
Fry's liver out, and Ill do Il yet" All OF
this took place in the presence OF the con-
gregation, causing great confusion. Some
