ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
An Italian LabO Per Dangerously
Wounded.


This morning difficulty occurred be-
tween the Italians employed on section
"a of the new Railroad, near the Practi-
cal Farmer, Brandywine Hundred, and
James Finnegan, the contractor, in ref.
erence to wages, wher one Of the num-
her, who can speak English, told Mr..
Finnegan that the men would not
work to-day, and said something to
them in Italian, when they laid down
their tools, and either stood around in
groups, or seated themselves on the
ground.
The argument between the contractor
and the man continued, and while they
were talking the report of a pistol was
heard, and it was found that CormellO
Carvolia had accidentally shot himself.
He had taken seat On the ground
while the quarrel was going on, and
a pistol in his pants pocket had explo-
ded.
The wounded man was placed in a
wagon and conveyed to the City Hall,
and DR.. Grimshaw summoned, who
found that the ball had entered
his groin. inficting serious and what
may prove fatal wound. The doctor
did not deem it advisable to probe for
the ball, aud upon his recomm endation
an order was obtained from Trustee
Hickman, and he was taken 10 the
almshouse Two of his brothers were
with him at the hall, but neither of the
party can speak any English.

Get In . Bag.
About 2 30 o'clock this morning off,
GERS Mcbride and Pierson saw John
Heck come out of drinking place at
Front and Tatnall streets with some
thing in bag that was in on old peach
basket. As they could not get much
satisfaction from John, they proceeded
TO investigate, but thought at first 1t
was ham. When they undertook to
lift the bag n sound was emitted that
convinced them that John was playing
the part ofa kidnapper and had cap
tursd young baby, while their hair
fairly "stood like quilts upon the fret.
full porcupine" when they thought Of
the dreadful fate that might have over
taken tie little one, had they not been
fortunate enough to meet John.
Officer Mcbride carefully opened the
bag, and peeped In, and upon seeing
pair of bright eyes, felt sure that bis
suspicious about 1t being an infant
were correct, but when he undertook
TO lift 1t out for a better view, he found
that it was nothing but n young pig,
only this and nothing more"
The officers accused John of having
stolen the porker, which he Indignantly
denied, and gave the following expla-
nation of its beiLg in his possession
" had been walking for quite a dis
tance, and laid down last evening to
take a nap with this bag for a pillow.
Just as was about to fall asleep, this
pig and several others came around and
commenced calling me by uame, until
finally this little fellow asked to be put
in the bag
At first refused, as l was not ac.
quainted with him but he begged 80
hard that finally opened the bag and
he run in, and | put the bag in the
basket"
The officers thinking that the whole
story was stretch Of Johns fertile i'm
agination, took him and the pig to the
hal, and this morning he had hearing
before Squire O'Neill. John denied
stealing the pig, and officer Mcbride
lifted the little animal up, possibly
with q view of getting its evide'ce in
the matter, but 1t protested 80 vigorous.
ly that he was glad to put it down, and
the Squire asked little girl If she did
not want to take it home for a pet. AS
it was ascertained that 1t belonged to
Joseph Tatnall, of the Ninth wari, John
was committed in default of 5000 bail
for his appearance at Court.
