--Drs. Parker who have the negro won
an, Mrs. Cotton, under treatment for the
wound received by her Tuesday from a
ball accdently fired from little pistol 10
the hands of her son Dennis, report that the
| wound Is not at all dangerous, though the
ball might have penetrated the skull and
killed the woman, had it been fired in q
straight direction. AS it was, the ball,
though striking the skull slantingly and
plancing off, was hattened out like wafer,
showing that ii must have had considera.
BILE force and fortunately met with sub
stance considerably harder than itself, be-
fore reaching a vital part. 1t is another
case of "didnt know it was loaded" which,
by the merest accident didn't terminate
fatally.
Tuesday nights meeting Of the Ideal
League afforded the usual amount and
character of entertainment for all who at
tended, and nearly every member was
present. The business meeting was very
short and Of importance only in that Mr..
Lockrdge was voted in as member, aud
that the committee appointed to select q
place for the presentation of the drama,
Engaged, " reported that it had secured
the opera house stage, which report was
accepted and unanimously concurred in.
The usual literary and musical programme
was dispensed with and the president, Mr..
Parsons, entertained the club after the man
ner of the most accomplished host. Music
and dancing was succeeded, about 10
o'clock, by rich feast, the principal COM
ponent parts of which were ice cream,
strawberries and cake.
An event of no little interest and i'm
portance yesterday was ball and party
given by two social amusement organiza.
tons at Temperance hall on Eighth street.
The German dancing club and the Ideals
combined their efforts to make the event
pleasant one and success as to atten-
dance. 1t was given in honor of three
young ladies who have been visiting friends
in this city for some time and who are about
to depart for their respective homes, name
ly, Miss Steyer, of Golconda, who has been
on short visit to Miss Bette Korsmeyer,
Miss Keyser, of St. Louis, who has spent
several weeks with Miss Amanda Fields,
and Miss Bishop who has been guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons. These young ladies
made many friends among the young peo-
pie of the city during their short stays and
were given fitting farewell by these friends,
which they will probably recall with pleas
ure for long time
County Judge Robinson began yester
day 10 consider the delinquent tax list; but
the work goes forward very slowly, because
the attorneys in the cases in which objec-
tons are offered are nearly all engaged be-
fore the circuit court which has precedence
over the county court. One of the import.
ant cases in which objections are filed, per
haps the most important one, is that of the
Wabash railroad company, and the princi-
pal ground of its objection is that the coun-
ty assessor has assessed land and property
belonging properly to the right-of-way of
the company, aud which had been
already assessed by the state audi
tor and the taxes extended on
the railroad books, so that the same proper
ty had been assessed twice. The amount
involved in this case is said by Collector
Hodges to be between three and four thou
sand dollars, and the court will probably
decide this case to-day.
-Under the head of "Licensed to Marry"
in yesterday mornings st. Louis Re
publican, appear the names Of Mr.. Henry
Baird and Miss Grace Davis. The groom
was our own Henry, of the Western Union
telegraph office, and the bride was an es-
Unable young lady operator in st. Louis
office, with whom the sly Henry had been
carrying on SLY courtship by electricity,
unknown to his friends here. The mar
riage took place at st. Louis on Tuesday,
and yesterday morning Mr.. and Mrs. Baird
arrived here to take up their temporary re-
sidence with the parents Of the groom.
Henry is one of the steady young men OF
the city, who, against difficulties in the
face Of which many others would have be-
come discouraged, has worked his way into
an important position which he has filed
