many times, was before Judge Smell this
morning on a charge of assault with intent
10 kill colored man named James Camp

The case was before tho Court on q charge
of simple assault last Wednesday, but the
facts developed were of such character
that His Honor directed q charge of assault

Campbell stated that he had some trou-
bic with Toomey about 3 o'clock in the af-
tcrnoon, and about @ o'clock Toomoy was
driving along Third street, near X, with
his brother. He asked witness about u
cleaver that was thrown in the original
row, and witness said he didn't know any
thing about it. Toomey laughed and said,
"Oh, you dont?" He then got out of his
carriage, and his brother said, "Shoot him,
Dan" Dan then pulled out pistol and
fired at witness, the ball passing under his
arm. Witness then ran and Toomey fired
again, but neither shot took effect.
Mary johnson, Nancy Jackson and Chas.
Mitchell and other witnesses corroborated
Campbell's statement as to tho shooting.
Officer Wagner stated that on the after
noon in question he was stopped by
Toomey, who was riding in carryell, and
who said, Look here, old man, what had
to 60 up town and buy to kill some of them

UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.


An Interesting Illustrated lecture
on Motion and Life by Professor
Holman.
Professor ID. 8. Holman, of the franklin
Institute of Pennsylvania, who Is ono Of
the leading scientists aud microscopists OF
tho country, was introduced by General
Eatop, the Commissioner of Elucation to
large audience, composed mainly Of scien-
tiiic and professional people and educators,
at the High-School lecture hall last evening.
Commissioner Eaton reviewed the i'm
portant discoveries aud improvements
which Mr. Holman has made in the studies
to which ho has devoted many years Of
careful investigation.
Professor Holman lectured upon the sub.
iect Of Motion and life as soon under the
microscope and on the SCREEN" and treated
the subject of motion in an original aud in
teresting manner, dividing it into tho class
of mechanical movement vibratory aud
like the movement of the pendulum, the
movement of plant life, as found in the pro-
toplasm, and the movement OF animal life,
as shown by the pulsation of tho heart of n
frog. These were illustrated on the screen, 4,
so that the movements of the protoplasm
and the pulsatons of tho frogs heart were
plainly visible.
The circulation Of the blood was shown
in the arteries and veins of salamander
| in manner that could be seen by the en-
| tire audience, the tiny salamauder being
magnifed until his length extended around
three sides of the spacious lecture-room.
The experiments with the phoneidoscopo,
| illustrating the effects of sound waves on
soap film, showing the vibrations caused by
| the notes OF vocal and instrumental music
and other sounds, and resulting in the most
| intricate combinations Of forms and colors,
rapidly succeeded each other and varied
with the tones Of the voice or instrument
These experiments being almost entirely
new and being accomplished with great
success, attracted the interest of the scien-
tific people present, and were greeted with
repeated applause.
The lecture and experiments throughout
were attractive and entertaining and in
structive, and woro fully appreciated by
the audience.
Another lecture will be delivered this
evening and a special feature will be tho
exhibition of the smallest forms Of animal
life magnified TO gigantic proportions.
