Boston, Mass, December 28-This
morning Daniel p. Reynolds, of New
York, called at the house of James
Budd, in Dorchester, and was usheretl
into the parlor, where Budd Joined him.
A servant passing by th0spsglor door
heard Reynolds say: IL have come
for either your life or property" An
altercatiOn ensued, when Budd started to
run up stairs, presumably for weapon.
He had proceeded but few steps when
Reynolds fred twice at him, both shots
taking effect, one In the right leg, the,
other In the small of the back, ,intllctinq
what is believed can hardly be other
than fatal injuriss. Citizens, attract
ed ty the shooting, entered the house
and secured Reynolds, who, at the
police station, refused to make any
statement, except that he had come from
New York this morning to see Mr.. Budd.
Mr.. Budd also declined to furnish any
information regarding the differences be-
tween the men. 1t Is understood, how
ever, that the shooting was the result
Of . long-standing fsnd arising from
family and property complications. Mr.
Budd is prominent resident Of Dor
chester, and Director of and largely
interested in the Veneer Glass Works, in
this city.
On Reynolds was found long state
ment Of grievances against Budd. Rey.
nolds Is q member Of Typographical
Union, No 8, of New York, and resides
in that city, where he has wife and
one child. He married q daughter of \
woman named Dietz. to whom Ruld,
he alleges, was much indebted. Budd
did al in his power to break off this
match, and from this and his alleged
treatment Of Mrs. Dietz and attempts
to gain her property the shooting rssslt-

A Mlsseasenlent.

The statement that appears In the
Morning News that Judge Cummins
refused to issue warrant for the arrest
OF Albert Fountain, No. 1924 French
street, on the charge Of keeping a dis
orderly house, is incorrect In every par
ticulsr, and is an injustice to the Judge.
The iact4 Of the case are a. follows: on
Christmas Eve party of drunken men
entered Fountains saloon, and after
being put out, engaged in . fight among
themselves. Trusty who resides next
door to the saloon, thinking that the
disturbance was in there, complained to
Judge Cummins, who promptly issued
warrant for Fountains arrest. Or,
Henderson, a man named Harding, who
has a tailor store at No. 8l2 French
street, and several other persons resid-
ing in the vicinity, were summoned as
witnesses and the case called for trial
on Friday morning. Each of the wit
nesses, upon being interrogated by the
Judge, denied that the house was dis
orderly, and said they had never been
disturbed by anything that had taken
place in the saloon. Trusty then asked
permission to withdraw the charge,
which was granted upon his paying the
costs. The Judge told Trusty that when
q person swore out warrant he pre-
ferred that they should prosecute the
case

losing their blsckness and the flesh be-
comes as white and soft as any white

transformed into white woman. She
Is the mother of three cbilnren, sll Of

The EQ uine Paradox.

Professor Bartholomew's Equine
Paradox, the only school of educated
horses in the world, will commence a
weeks engagement at the Opera House
on Monday evening. These wonderful
animals are turned loose on the stage
without bride or rein and obey every
command given to them by the profes
sor. They do everything but talk, and
even those who have frequently wit
messed their acting always find some
thing new. The performance is won
derful, even in this age of wonders, and
no wizard of old ever claimed to pos.
sess such power over the spirits of the
air, as the wonderful educator of these
dumb friends exercises over this school
of horses, Persons who wish to avoid
the crowd should attend in the early
part of the week, as standing room
only" Is sure to be the announcement
for the last nights of the engagement.
There will be matinees on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoons that
will afford the ladies' and children ex-
cellent opportunities to witness their
wonderful performance.

Last evening the psrlors Of the resi-
dence of Clerk of Council Robert G.
Fraim, At No 700 French street, were
filled with a select party, the occasion
being the seventeenth birthday of his
son, r. Franklin Fraim. Music was
furnished by Albert's orchestra, and
some fourteen couple participated in
dancing, which was continued until
II o'clock, when the orchestra played a
march, to which the party moved to
the dining room, where q large table
was filled with refreshments. The
cakes, ice-cream, water ices, fruit,
confectionery etc, seemed like the wild
ow's cruise of oil, inexhaustible, and
the guests after vigorous attack, re-
tired satisfied that it was a physical i'm
possibility to clear the table. Dancing
was again INDUCED in until late hour,
and the merry party presented a bril-
liant and animated scene as they
whirled through the dizzy mazes. The
party retired well pleased with the
evenings entertainment, and wishing
many returns Of the day to young Mr..
Fraim.

PITTsBURG. December 28.-The coal
operators of the Fourth pool have de-
clined to abide by the decision of James
ID. Weeks, referee Of tho Miners Asso-
citation Board, who favored an advance
of quarter Of a cent in the price of
digging. Up to the time the decision
was rendered the miners were only re-
ceivine two aud three quarters cents
per bushel. Under the decision Of
Weeks they are entitled to three cents.
There are thirte II pits and l, 200 miners
in the Fourth pool. The acrion Of the
operators will result in complicating the
miners troubles considerably. Mr..
Weeks gave his decision on the 18th
instant, from which time the men
claim to be entitled to the additional
quarter OF d cent, but thu operators de-
cline to pay the increase. 1t Is proba-
BILE that litigation will follow.

Entertainment ~ Milton.

The Milton high school, under the
Principalship Of Prof. James H. Crabbe,
held Its Christmas entertainment on
last Friday evening. 1t was the
"biggest thing" ever the town had.
The gathering was 30 large that at one
time riot was almost imminent. At
8. 80 the doors we're opened, and In Ave
minutes thereafter there WAS not stand
ing room, and then the immense crowd
outside returned home. At 7 o'clock
the entertainment commenced with
prayer by Rev. j. Williams, of the
Milton M. Il. church. The primary
department, under the control Of Miss
Alinda johnson, really surpassed them
selves, aud showed by their perform
auce that they had received thorough
instruction from their teacher. Each
was presented with a bag Of capdy at
the close Of ths entertainment. Prof.
Crabbe's students acquitted themselves
with wonderful credit. Master James
Ponder, James Wolfe, Miss May Viii.
liams, Miss Matte Morris and George
Morris carried of the laurels OF the
evening. A farce, entitled "Private
Boarding." was laughable in the sx-
treme. Mr.. Elwood Stout, from viii.
mington, rendered some excellent
music on the banjo and harmonico,
which almost set tho audience wild.
The room was beautifully trimmed.
The entertainment was great success,
and through the Professors fairness
insures for him o good and lasting
name In Milton.
The Pointer House has been overrun
with guuners this week. Among the
many was Mr.. James II. Beggs and
Mr. Pyle, of your city.
