STRANGE y saOOIISG.
A Young Hna Pound wounded Refuses
to Tell Who Shot Him.


Nxw YoRK, November l7.-At 10 o'clock
on the night before the election, q police.
man saw young man sitting alone on the
sidewalk at Tenth avenue and Forty.sixth
street, and holding his head with his
hands. The officer thought at first that
the man was drunk, but when he went
close 10 him he saw that blood was flowing
between his fingers and down his face from
pistol shot wound in the eye.
The young man was half insensible from
pain, aud he lost consciousness before
ne could be removed to the hospital. All
the information which the police could OBJ
tain tha. night was that the wounded man
was Bernard O'Donnell, twenty-five years
old, who lived at No. 533 West Forty. fifth
street. He remained insensible many hours
and the surgeon thought he would not re-
cover. When he came to his eenses detec-
tiyes from the Twenty-third precinct ques-
toned him about the shooting, but be re.
fused doggedly to give any information.
Capt. Killifeo learned that before O'Don-
nell was found by the officer at Tenth ave.
nue. and Forty-sixth street, he had been
taken in coach by some friends TO Seven
ty.second street and back to the place
where he. was shot. The men who accom-.
panied him said that they went at his re-
aues', but they would not tell the object OF
the Journey, and they declared that they
did not know the name Of the person who
had shet O'Donnell. All that O'Donnell
has told since is that be was shot by Rich
ard 0'Keefe, a young bricklayer.
II was said by some OF his acqnaintances
that be and 0'Keele bad quarreIed about q
young woman whom they both knew well,
and that they came to blows some weeks
before o'D 1nnell was shot o'KseIe can
not be found.
To-day O'Donnell died, giving no further
Information as to the mysterious shooting.

terested in the work OF the Salvation Army
and Its results. Although their methods

10 sey the least, are certainly commendable;

who will attempt to g4inssy ths fsct that
they have brought Joy and hsppinets to very
many sad hearts and homes, and made sober
and respectable many who would otherwise
have been frtqlentels OF our saloors aud on
the broad read to ruin.
By their peculiar methods fused only

are 10 be found In thsse saloons on Sunday
than in all our churches? Is It not ia9t
that these and many other such facts do not
seem TO receive The attention OF
those whose duty 1t Is to enforce
our laws? And Is 1t not
fact that there are much grsver oif.nses

which Capt. Fisher hiss lain in the lookup
