Pistols in Politics A Dispute Which
 Wound up in a HlurderOus Onsleught.
 BALTIMORE, Got. 11.-James F. Busey, prominent politician Of this city, was fatally shot at noon to-day by William Harig, aDoth- CT politician. The shooting occurred at the
 north street entrance to the City Hall where Busey, Harig and several others were dis putting about yesterdays Democratic prima- ries. The discussion became very spirited and finally they came to blows. Busey and Hsrig drew their pistols and began firing at each other until Busey had fired five and Harig seven shots the former receiving three wounds, one in the stomach and two in the left arm. Harig escaped uuhurt One of Busey's shots struck John A. Flanigan, 8 bystsnder, in the arm, causing painful wound After Harig had emptied his pistol he used it as club and infict- ed frightful wounds on Busey's head. A crowdquickly gathered aad the excitement ran high. Busey WAS taken to the station house near by and several physicians sent for to attend his injuries, but they do not hope for his recovery. Harig was at once arrested and is nov in jail. Members of the press are not allowed to converse with Harig. Harig is bold and defiant. It is said there has been a feud between the two men for number of years past which was intensified by the result of yesterdays primaries in which the candidate of Busey's choice for sheriff was successful. Busey was removed to his hems and at this writing (11 p- m. is still alive. The affair has created intense excitement, especially in political circles, and to night is the chief topic of conversation.

HOrthcote's Religious Ra1d-Hfs Methods
 NOt Sanctioned by the Liberal Press.
 LONDON, Oct. 11.-Sir Stafford Northcote by his visit to Ulster has succeeded in par tially reopening the old religious feud be- tween the Protestants and Catholics in Bel fast, but his indictments have fallon flat on the farming classes. The efforts of the Tories are calculated to strengthen the Ma tionalists at the next election because it has made clear that the Tory party have no so- lution of the land question which would se- cure justice to the Protestant farmers. The Liberal press of England condemns Sir Staf- ford Nortcote's raid and approaches him for stirring up religious hatred and civil strife. Becoming alarmed at the severe attacks of the press he has addressed letter to the mayor of Belfast expressing regret for the attack upon the convent by Orangemen dur ing his visit there last week. The organiza- ton of the National league is progressing steadily and the people are earnestly second ing the efforts of their leaders to prepare for the general elections. The Rarnell fund closes in December.

The Notable Celebration at the Center
 Church, Hartford.
 The celebration of the two hundred and fftieth anniversary of Center Church, Hart ford, was opened yesterday. The church was finely decorated with flowers and vines At each side of the pulpit were similar panels, one with ''1633" in the immortelles and the other with t'18S3." Back of the pulpit was large map showing the location of the streets and houses in the town in 1640, and st the right was g portrait covered with a scarf. the unveiling of which proved one of the most interesting features of the day.
 High on the walls and facing the audience were two large tablets bearing in chronologi- cal order the names of the pastors of the church.
 The pulpit platform was occupied by Rev. Dr. G. l.. Walker, the pastor Of the church, Rev. Dr. E. P. Parker of the South church and William R. Cone. In the open space in front of the pulpit chairs were provided for the pastors of the city churches and other invited guests. Among the gentlemen present were: Rev.Dr. Pynchon Of Trinity college, Professor Thomas K. Thacher of Yale college, President Gallaudet of the National College for Deaf Mutes, Washington, D. O.; Rev. MT. Kim ball of Danbury, Rev. MT. Weitzel Of Nor wich. Rev. MT. Williams of Chaplin, Rev. Dr. Taylor of Chicepee, Rev. Mir. Gardner of Glastonbury, Rev. Wolcott Calkins of Newton, Mass, Rev. Dr. G. H. Gould of Worcester, Mass
 Mir. William R. Cone delivered the address of welcome and Mir. John 0. Parsons an ad- dress on the early topography of the city. The portrait unveiling followed. It was a portrait of Rev. Dr. Joel Hawes, and Mir. E. J. Van Lennep, son of Dr. Lennep, the donor, in a few words made the presentation speech. At the same time he suggested how deficient the Center church, Hartford, is in comparison with the three oldest churches in Boston and the Center church in New Haven in their memorials of former pastors. Aside from the portrait of Rev. Mir. Stowe, it has no reminder of the former preacher except the one added yester- day.
 Rev. Dr. Walker delivered the historical address. The musical programme of the day was fine. The celebration concludes to-day

The Latest Figurss-A Large Plurality
 For HOadley-The Legislature Demo-

 COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-The news received since noon does not materially change the figures given in the noon bulletin. The vote for Lieutenant Governor on the Republican ticket, while it shows that Rose ran ahead of his ticket largely in his own county (Cuya- hoga) and in several other counties to some extent, will not probably make his vote ex- eeed 5000 more than the vote for Foraker who will at least be defeated by 13, 1000 plur- ality.
 CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Election returns up to this hour make no material change. The reports circulated that Rose is probably elected for Lieutenant Governor are false, as the Lincoln club here concede Warwick's election by about 5000 majority.

A United Press reporter called this evening upon Auditor Cappeller, who is posted, and that gentleman said he believed it was only a sensational dispatch. He had not heard word about it and did not think there was anything in it. Colonel Campbell was interviewed on this subject, but says: 'tSo far as I know there is nothing in it, but if there is for Gods sake unearth it." Captain Robert Cullen and Cap tain Santneyer of the Republican Executive committee say that 1t is news to them and is purely sensational story. United States Collector Montgomery had heard nothing pertaining to frauds and thinks the rumor too good to be true.
