BY ONE BIRD.
The Bogardas-Carver PiEeon-shooting
Match Wen by the Latter.

LOUISVILLE, February 22.-The day was
cold and disagreeable, disappointing those
who hoped for warm, sunny weather for the
contest between Bogard1s and Carver. The
match was shot on the grounds of the Jockey
Club, near the city. Only about 700 or 800
persons were present. Considerable money
was put up, bets being on an average at the
opening of about 500 on Bogsrdus to $50 On
Carver. Last night the latter's friends grew
more confident, and be crept up in the pools.
Before the opening cf the match pools
sold at 500 for Bogardus and $50
for Carver. Then even bets were offered
and accepted. The traps were arranged
with boundaries measuring eighty yards
from the center trap, the terms Of the match
being 100 birds, thirty yards rise and eighty
yards boundary. Both men appeared calm
and confident, when a few minutes past /
o'clock they were called 10 work. Col John
N. Barbour, of this city, acted as referee,
without any Judges. Tne birds used were
tame pigeons, and did not fly we'll. Bogardus
failed to score on the second bird, which
fell dead forty yards outside the limits.
Carver missed the fifteenth and sixteenth.
Bogardus missed the nineteenth, scoring a
tie. Carver fell behind on the twentieth,
with miss. The first twenty birds were
shot in twenty-five minutes.
When the fiftieth bird was reached there
was tie, each having killed forty three.
At the seventietb, Bogsrdus, sixty; Carver,
ffty-seven.
At the seventy. fifth, Boyardus, sixty.four;
Carver, sixty-ons.
From the seventy.ffth TO the ninetieth
Carver gained three and tied Bogardus.
Neither had missed for some time, and the
eIcitement high among the crowd, but
the contestants were cool sud determined.
At the hinety-si1lh bird Bogardus mi..vt3,
and Carver, without q miss, ran out, defeat
ing his opponent by one bi.d-Carver, eighty
three; Bogsrdus, eighty.two. Time, two
hours and forty minutes. There was nothing
10 mar the good feeling, the match passing
off pleasantly and without single protest.
The crowd cheered lustily al the fiuisb, and
all joiued in heartily congratulatiDg Carver
on closely won victory. Quite consider
able sum was won and lost on the match, the
Chicago men especially putting up heavily
on Bogardus. Carver's stake and gate money
amount to $500.

ANOTHER CAUCUS OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS

.WAsHINGroN- -Eahruary pa cancna of
the Republican members of the Senate was
held this morning for the purpose of deter
mining the order of business in regard TO the
matter of general legislation now pending.
The Caucus Committee appointed some wee Is
since reported that they had considered the
subject, and in their opinion action should
be taken at this session upon the shipping
bill, the Dakota division bill, the pensions
bill and the bankruptcy bill. This report
gave rise TO considerable discussion, several
senators asserting that other measures we're
equally important, and should not be over
looked. Among these, Senator Blair strongly
urged the Importance of the education
bill introduced by him. Pending further
discussion, the hour OF adjournment arrived,
and it was agreed to hold another caucus to-
morrow. The only understanding reached
this morning was that the anti-polygamy
bill, which was taken up yesterday afternoon
when comparatively few senators were in
attendance, should be laid sside to- day in
order to take up the naval appropriation
bill, and that during the remainder of the
session precedence shall invariably be given
to the regular annual appropriation bills,
revenue bills and pension bills. A current
rumor that the caucus this morning selected
Senator Edmunds as its choice for president
pro tenn. of the Senate has no foundation.
The subject OF providing for the election Of
new president pro tenn. was not even alluded
to in no aanaua

FATALLY Shot.
A Little white Girl Accidentally Killed
by n Negro Boy.

ORANGEBURG, s. c., February 22.-Estella
Wolfe, little white girl about six years old,
was fatally shot here last Sunday by COL
ored boy aged about ten years. The circum-
stances of the shooting could not be deiu-
itely sscertained, as the children were alone
when it occurred, but it is thought to have
been accidental. The girl had been left in
charge of the boy, and when the report of
the pistol was heard several persons rushed
TO the spot, and found little Estella lying
upon the floor, with blood gushing from a
ghastly wound. Drs. NJ. 6. Salley and w.
G. Wannamaker were summoned, and
promptly responded. An examination proved
that the bullet had entered the left breast,
passed through the left lung and made its
exit from the back, Just below the shoulder.
Trial Justice B. 81. Moss endeavored to get
a statement from the wounded child, but she
became unconscious, and did not revive.
The boy has been confined in the Jail, and
says he attempted to take the pistol from the
child, when it was accidentally discharged.
Be this as it may, it should serve as 4 warn
ing to all who are in the habit of leaving
firearms within the reach of children.

A PRESIDENTIAL SCANDAL.
A MYSTICAL ROMANCE THAT Is ALL THE
TALK AT THE CAPITAL.


WAsHINeroN, February 22-For some
days past there have been vague rumors
ah iat concerning a iaison between the Pres
ident and the wifs of prominent govern
ment official who stands high in Washington
society. This scandal has blossomed into
life. But there is nothing but the bloom of
the 6g tree, as yet, 10 make the air redolent.
The leaves still hide the nakedness OF our
later Eve, and there is no Adam in this
case to shield his fault behind the whine
that has made the paradise of fable and
story and Black Forest, in which the woman
is destroyed because she tempted" wolf,
and he ''did eat" The President has acted
the man throughout. He has lied like
gentleman, if the scandal is true, and has
asserted his manhood like a man, if the
scandal is false. The story is the property
OF the world now. 1t hinges on the fimsiest
of circumstantial evidence. 1t lie said of the
woman that she is vain and ambitious, quail
tiles that bring success to man though he
walk through valley walled on either side
with the skeletons of those who have
made his career. 1t is said of her that she il
bold and brazen. What woman has achieved
power without courage and cheek? "But she
is a married woman" say her censors. Grant
it. Is the fault hers or her husbands that
she has no home, and has followed the die
tates oil her neart 10 unu rest ana peace In
the sympathy of another of her kind?
Scandals like this are worse than those
which are an old story in the Five Points
of New York, but only relatively worse.
The characters that figure in this
one belong TO "he upper ten thousand" /"
who are always under the micro
scope of the jealous and envious
of their own set. There is not much evil
among them in fact as there may be in in
| tent, or would be, if it were not known that
the msgnifyipg lens was at all times over
them all. The charitable view of the story
about the President would be that, being a
widower, he ought to be married. The com.
mon sense view of the story lie, that, being a
prond, sensible, sensitive man, the President
of 50,000,000 people, has plucked the thorns
from the roses he has bestowed upon
the wom n, who has not blushed 10 receive
them, seeing that they were powerless 10
