RICHMOND, VA, July 2.-Information
received here this morning from Lieuten-

Saturday with r. f. Beirne, states that
Mr.. Elam's condition is critical. and that
his wound is much more aggravated than
was at first reported. The ball struck
near the right hip. passed inward and

in the left thigh, passing in its course
very near the bladder. The bullet was
extracted last evening.

STANTON, VA, July 2.-Mr. Elam's
wound is much more serious than was at
first apprehended. After his removal
from the field to the residence of Mr..
Lewis closer examination disclosed that
the ball had entered the right thigh near
the junction of the upper third and lower
two-thirds of the femur. After strik-
ing the bone it ranged back
ward and upward through the
peritoneum and lodged in the left
groin, from whence it was extracted.
There has been no paralysis and no Sc

TENTS spirits are good. He, himself dis
covered where the ball was lodged. 1t is
thought that some foreign substances have
been left in the track of the bullet, such
as particles of clothing and splinters of
bone. The ball, however, was but little
battered. The wound, while not necessa-
rily fatal, is a very serious one.

GREAT EXCITEMENT.

2,276; Monroe, Conservative, 2.O1l: Prin-

At Monaghan this evening Mr.. HeaIv

whom he was received with great en-
thusiasm. He said that landlordism had

Gathering Sponges.

A correspondent, writing from Cedar

of the mode of taking spOnges ON the Gulf
coast: "AbOut 20 miles off the coast the
sheep wOOP sponge is found in larae
quantities. Hither the feet repairs when
it has sold its previous 'catch' and laid in
their provisions. When upon the ground
where the water is about five or six faith
Oms, small boats are lowered, contain
ing two men each. One sculls slowly, the
other lies prone upon his breast at the
side of the boat. In one arm he grasps
an apparatus, which is scarcely more than
a deep bucket, with the bottom made of
glass, which is inserted in the water glass
downward. In the other hand he holds a
very slender pole, 20 or 80 feet long,
armed at the end with double or treble
prOnged hook, very like potato hoe. 1t
takes a practiced eye, peering through
this glass to the depth of 20 or 30
feet of sea water, not only to see
the sponges which grow on the rocks
or corals, but to distinguish be-
tween the good and sne bad. When one
or more are seen worthy of being taken
the right arm, grown very muscular and
skillful by constant practice, deity ex-
tracts the sponge from It's rocky base and
brings it to the surface. The exertion Is
immense. The long, slender mole swavs
and bends, and the sea is nat ALWAYS as
quiet as they desire, The left hand and
arm still holds, steadies ahd presses the

to guide the manipulation Of the pole and

GOV. BUTLER's THORNY PATH
He Refuses to Adjourn the Legislature,
and Speaks His Mind.

Boston, July Gov. Butler has sent
a long message to the Legislature. refils-
ing to adjourn that body to August p. as
requested by the committee. He states
that he is astOnished to hear the reason,
namely, that the Legislature might act
upon the report of the commit
tee which has been investigating
the charges against the management
of the Tewkesbury almshouse made
by the Governor. He claims to have
made no changes. The investigation. he
says, was prompted by legislative action
and he appeared before the committee
in support of the evidence he had to offer.
He declined to put any charges
IN writing, as it was not
his duty to do so. The State board has
carried out the reforms he sought to ac-
cOmplish and he asks why, for all practi-
cal purposes, has not the investigating
committee fulfilled its object. The Legis-
lature can take no action against
the supposed delinquents-tha has
been done already. He suggests that it
would do the Legislature good to 90 home
and read the printed report Of its commit
tee on the management Of the TeWsbury
almshOuse. He enquiries why the men,
they complain of their pay. He init
mates that the Legislature has
had ample time to accomplish
its duties. He is confirmed in his opinion
that the Legislature cannot adjourn
without his consent, and says of any sup
posed right of the two houses to assem-
Die without the consent Of the Gov
ernOr, that it is a power, if it ex-
lists, that has not been exercised
for more than 100 years. He can conceive
of a possible emergency that would per-
nit it, but that would be an emergency
almost jUstifying revolutionary measures
The report of the Tewksbury investigat-
ing committee, which, in in his Judgment,
will not change the opinion or action of a
single individual, Is not an emergency.

OF his art life, but in that brief period had

fiendish Jessie may we'll be spared indef-

trial, and whatever the personal populari-
ty of the accused and his family, there
was never shadow of doubt in the mind
OF the public, who knew her, that Jessie
Buckner was as much the instigator and

BLISS AND BREWSTER.
How These Legal Luminaries Labor to
Reduce the Treasury.


When Congress passed the tariff bill it
abolished the tax upon the capital and de-
posits of national and private banks.
This tax had been collected on January 1
and July l, upon an estimate made of the
monthly business. Congress plainly in
tended to have the repeal of taxes in
cluded in the Little revenue bill take
effect at the close of the half fiscal year,
July l, as named in the bill. Hardly
had the measure been passed, however,
when the banks claimed that the repeal
took effect Immediately, so far as the tax
upon bank capital and deposits was con-
cerned. The amount collected annually
from this source was about $500, 900. To
declare the tax repealed at once would
free the banks from six months assess
ment ard fleece the government of over
$4,000,000. The Internal Revenue Com
missioner referred the question to the
Secretary of the Treasury. He asked the
Attorney Generals opinion.
Mr.. Brewster held that these taxes are
not due until the date of collection July
u, and that the repeal taking effect ON
that day makes collections impossible.
He allowed Mr.. Bliss, who was then
his deputy in the star-rOute cases, to
argue the matter for the banks before
himself. After which the Attorney Gen
eral, as it appeared, based his option
upon the Bliss brief, which thus became
in effect his adopted child.
This was as scandalous as anything
which transpired in the star route trial.
Somebody made ''pile" out of the scan
dal. The saving of four millions to the
banks was worth a fee of 10 per cent
nearly half a million of dollars.
Thus by the simple scratching of the
name brewster with pen to an Opin-
ion based upon Bliss brief more will be
lost to the Treasury if Brewster is wrong
in his law than has been debited to the
star route frauds.

A FIGHT IN A DEPOT
Mr.. August Belmont, Jr., Chastises Mr.
Tower at Hampstead, LII.
Aegp VogE Hor1g


Several ladies and gentlemen were nj
the Long Island Railroad depot at HEMP
| stead yesterday morning waiting for the
9:43 train for New York.
Among them were Mr.. August Belmont
son of the well known banker, and Mr.
j. +. Tower. The former was accom-
panied by his wife. Both gentlemen have
residences at Hampstead.
Mr.. Tower spoke to Mr.. Belmont and
the two gentlemen engaged in a conversa-
ton which soon became something more
than animated. The attention of the
| spectators was attracted. 1t became very
evident that a storm was brewing SlId
denly Mr.. BelmOnt's cane was observed
to flash i'll the air and descend upon Mr.
Towers head. The two gentlemen then
rushed together and clinched, but were
almost Immediately separated by their
friends. The train arriving soon after.
the belligerents got on board, but occu-
pied different cars.
MIR. Towers temper had been worse
damaged than his head He chafed in
wardly at the insult which had been
offered him, and when the train reached
Jamaica he telegraphed the Chief of Police
at Long Island City:
"HaVe an officer at deDOt to make ar
rest on arrival of 10:25 train.''
Sergeant Michael Carroll was in CHARGE
at headquarters. He sent Officer Peter
Doyle to the depot to await the arrival of
the train. AS soon as the train reached
the depot Mr.. Tower hastily aIighted. and
espying the officer demanded that he a.
rest Mr.. Belmont for committing an as
sault upon him. He pointed out Mr..
Belmont among the throng of passengers
who were getting out of the cars.
Mr.. Belmont, who had been apprised of
MIR. Towers intention, stopped and ooOllv
awaited his expected arrest. But as Mr..
Tower was unable to show Doyle anv ex-
ternal evidence of the assault Of which he
complained, he would not undertake to
arrest Mr.. Belmont without q warrant is
sued by a Justice of the Peace. Mr.
Tower asked if he could procure a war
rant in New York, and being answered i'm
the negative, took the ferry for the citv,
and Mr.. Belmont also proceeded on his
way unmolested.
Some few weeks since, during game
of polo, a son of Mr.. Tower was knocked
down by the horse which Mr.. Belmont
rode and trampled upon. A doctor
charged $50 for attending to his injuries.
Mr.. Tower demanded that Mr.. Belmont
should pay this amount. Mr.. Belmont
refused. Out OF this grew the alteration
at the Hampstead depot.

HILLS EVIL GENIUS.
Witness Damon Again Denies Offering
any Bride Whatsoever.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-In the Hill in.
vestigatiOn to-day witness Steinemetz con.
tinued his criticisms of the bills for work
performed on the New York Post Office
item by item, pointing out a number
which he claimed were about double the
actual cost of doing the work.
George L. Damon, Of Boston, whom the
prosecution alleged to have been the evil
genius Of the Architects office. took the
stand. He put in evidence the articles of
incorporation of his company, the United
States Fire Proof Shutter Company.
Counsel Coleman and his clients have
charged that the company was not incor-
porated. When the articles of incOrpora-
tiOn were read the prosecution raised the
point that the concern was incorporated
in New York, while its goods were manu-
factured in Massachusetts, hence they
were manufactured illegally. The reply
to this was that the company was privi-
legged to manufacture wherever it could
do so profitably.
MIR. Damon then denied in toto having
ever offered to bribe the Manly q Cooper
Company, and said that on the contrary
he had told them that they would lose
money if they attempted to fulfil their
contract, and they had asked him how
much he would give them to withdraw
their bid. He declined to make an offer.
More vouchers We're called for, and the
committee adjourned to give the prosecu-
ton time to examine them.
