Fatal. PISTOL AGCl)ES1S

Tho Usual Cry-Didnr Know 1t Was Loaded.
While the steamer Alice was lying ut
Hope Villa, On Bayon Manchac, above
New Orleans, on Friday afternoon, her
commander, Capt. Charles Porter, and
Mr.. Stacey, clerk in L store in
that place, indulged in a match
at target-shoOtinS with revolvers.
After they had amused themselves at
that sport fer some time, they began to
discuss the merits of their respective
pistols, and the weapons we're exhibited,
handled and snapped in a careless man.

charges had been fired. While the
weapons We're being handled in that way,
Stacey's was accidentally discharged,
the ball striking Capt. Porter just above
the right eye, penetrating the brain, and
causing wound which has since proved
fatal. The captain was brought to Now
Orleans Oh his boat on Saturday morning
and conveyed to his home, on Calliope
street. where he died. Stacey. who was
greatly distressed at the accident, came to
the city also, and surrendered to the po-
lice. Capt. Porter was man of middle
age, very popular steamboat man, and
much esteemed and respected by those who
knew him. He was captain of the Third
Alabama infantry in the Confederate army.
His funeral this afternoon was one of the
largest eyer attended in the city.

A TRAGIC air is given to the contest
bttwecn the Philadelphia political bosses
and the people by the sudden death of
Commissioner Baldwin, who was the
present object of assault and with
whom the excitement of the struggle
was too great for his enfeebled state of
health. He expired while vigorously de-
Tending himself. He was good man
in many respects and it is not clear that
he has not been unfairly treated in the
energy of the reform movement.

A Good Law NullIfied.

NJ Icil political excitement is caused
in Connecticut by judicial decision
tina! several thousand ballots cast for
the Democratic candidates in New
Haven were illegal because they had
been printed in heavy black type, for the
purpose of making them distinguishable
when voted. The state law forbade
such distinction in ballots, just us do the
laws of many states, Pennsylvania
among the number. There is, however,
generally very little regard paid t. The
law, since it is not enforced and cannot
he under the public sentiment which
commands a party to accept what has
appeared in the election to be the will of
the people. Though the Connecticut
court declares these Democratic votes
illegal, and though if not counted the
Republican candidate for governor
would be elected, that gentleman has
felt compelled to declare that he would
not accept the governOrship under the
circumstances, even though the Legisla-
ture should call upon him to do 50. lie
says that he believes that the majority of
the peop.e did not intend to elect him.
There is no doubt of that nor is there
any that he has done just what any self
respecting candidate would do and what
the popular judgment approves of his
doing.
But, on the other hand, a most salutary
provision of the election laws is thus
practically nullilied. The ballot being
secret it is right in the law to protect its
secrecy. Marked ballots should not be
voted and the party that uses them in
defiance of the legal prohibition is prop
eriy punished by being deprived of the
benefit of the ballots. 1t would he
better if the law could be enforced.
If the Connecticut Democrats should
lose the offices they gained at the election
We could not say that they did not de-
serve their fate. tis charged that Re-
publican ballots were likewise marked.
The Connecticut Legislature would do
well to cause all marked ballots, voted in
defiance of law, to be thrown out and
to order new election where the de-
feated candidates, whom their action
elects, refuse to accept the places to
which they were not chosen as they
ought to do.

UNCONTROLLABL CRIMINALS.
A Young woman Protects Her Honor With
. Deadly shot.

: A Young woman Protects Her Honor with
Deadly shot.
: Reports have been received from Cana
Dover, on the Wheeling & Lake Eric rail
road, of fatal shooting affray which oc-
CURED near that place. 1t is alleged that a
Miss Shearer, living near Canal Dover, was
repeatedly annoyed by man named Rex,
who at various times it is claimed made
attempts to break into her apartments
Miss Shearer claims she warned him away
frequently, and on her refusal to allow him
to enter her room he became enraged and
began to quarrel with her. On Friday the
quarrel became animated. The mans
abusive language wrought up the anger of
the girl to the highest pitch, and in an
instant she drew revolver and fired two
shots in succession at her victim. Both
shots took effect in Rex's chest, and he
fell at the feet of the young lady mortally
wounded.
Attacked by Masked Burglars.
A masked robbery was committed n
Phillipsburg, N. j., by two men, wno
secured $75 in money and gold chin,
and seriously injured the wife of George
Freyberger, ra;lroader. Mrs. Freyber-
ger had attended the Salvation army
meeting in Easton last evening, and
reached her home about half past II
o'clock. Her husband was out with his
train, and was due home about 2 O. clock
in the morning. Mrs. Freyberger re-
tired, and was awakened by hearing
a noise. Supposing it was her husband,
she went down down stairs to let him in,
when two masked men sprang upon her,
choked and struck her, and threw her
into the cellar. They then ransacked the
house. When Mr.. Freyberger arrived
home he found his house in disorder, and
afer long search discovered his wife
lying unconscious on the cold cellar floor.
lie administered to her necessities as
speedily as possible, but it was not until
noon Sunday that she recovered con-
seriousness. She was evidently hurt by
the robbers, who leave no clue to their
identity.
The Hanging OF Tramp.
In October, 1881, two tramps entered
the Utah & Northern railroad station at
Franklin, Idaho, and pointing a cooked
pistol at Agent Hinckley demanded the
of the safe. The pistol went
OFF and killed lIinckley. The tramps
were arrested, and Michael Mooney, the
one who held the pistol, was hanged last
Friday. He died bravey. He refused to
disclose anything respecting himself.
family or life. 1t was claimed that the
pisto! went off accidentally.

the light of the present age, seem to
be the most important of the past year.
Yet, as remarked by a contemporary, it
will almost be an accident if there is in.
cluded in these records the one thing
which fifty years hence will be looked
back to as the crowning achievement of
1882, and this not because of any fault in
the newspapers, but because Of tho limita-
tions of human nature. Forces already at
work, but in unseen ways, may revolu-

out to be the distinguishing mark of the

Ii could find the Little Year,
The Happy Year, the glad New Year;
If 1 could find him setting forth
To seek the ancient track
Iii bring him here, the Little Year,
Like peddIer with his pack.
And all OF golden brightness,
And nothing dull or black,
And all that heart could fancy,
And all that life could lack,
Should be your share of the p9ddler's ware
When he undid his pack.
The best from out his treasure
A smile OF yours would coax,
And then we'd speed him on his way
at midnight's failing strokes,
And bid him hurry round the world
And serve the other folks

MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1. 1893
Mimi the Appearances.

Mr. Samuel JOsephS seems to be iiSur-
ing largely at Harrisburg as ar adviser
of the Democratic legislators. The less
seen of Mr.. JOsephs as a Democratic
motor the better will it be for the party
reputation. True, there is no telling, in
these times of reform, who of those who
have been esteemed as disreputable poll
ticians may or may not still merit that
reputation by tber works but Mr..
Josephs has been so exceedingly disrepu-
table that it will require very
long course of good conduct TO
rehabilitate him and make him
a swectly smelling Democrat. Mr..
Josephs is appearing as an advocate
of the election of MIR. Faunce as speaker.
If Mr.. Faunce can stand that advocacy
he must be very strongly entrenched in
the good opinion of his fellow legislators,
and nothing can prevent his election.
Mr.. Josephs is I. man of consequence, mot
10y reason of any particular strength,
but because of his particular nastiness
in the general estimation. If Mr. JO-
sephs has candidate for speaker of the
House and that speaker is elected, it will
be a severe test of the popular stomach.
If the people can digest that Democratic
do" '''"y may safely be relied to swallow
an! '..',, Democratic, however high in
its iiavur.
NJ. Fauncr hardly deserves to be
da,,.,,,i by he elements that advocate
his election to The speakership. In some
respects he is pointed out as tie proper
man for tie place. He has had more
legislative experience than any of his
associates, and has the needed ability to
fill the presiding Office acceptably. Pro-
badly he would make very good speaker
in every way. The only objection to him,
outside that afforded by the character of
one class of tie men who support him, is
the fact that in some of his legislative
votes he has not exhibited himself to
public contemplation as the stern ad-
vocate of the popular rights. There are
q few of his votes on crucial questions
which are Objectionable, though gener
ally he has seemed to be judiciOus leg
islatOr. There is prevalent opinion,
which is apparently well founded on
these unpopular votes in the Legisla-
ture and on his associations out of it.,
that Mr.. Faunce is too good friend to
corporations to be good friend to the
people, whose arm and voice is now lifts d
so threateningly against them. This
suspicion possibly may do Mr.. Faunce
injustice, but while it exists, if he is
elevated TO the speakcrship, it will be
apt TO do injustice to the Democratic
party and cast :: doubt upon its sincerity
rs the champion of the popular senti-
mant. That injury to the party should
not I've risked and if Mr.. Faunce's cleo
tiol hazards il he should not be chosen.
