Accidental Shooting.


Saturday evening about dark L. Z.
Sheridan, who had been drinking, got
into quarrel with Mr.. John Gufsill
at the saloon near the depot. Mr..
Sheridan drew a self cooking revolver
which he accidentally discharged, shoot
ing Charles Hazard, bridge carpenter
in the employ Of the railroad company,
through the aeshy part of his arm near
the elbow.
DR.. Bunnell dressed tho wound and
Mr.. Hazard went OH the train to
Drain, where he resides It is hoped
that bis injury may not prove serious.
Whether there is to be an iavestiga-
ton of the affair before the courts we
have not been informed and have heard
different stories as to the cause of the
troaLle, and therefore refrain from ex-
pressing an opinion, but will say that
men who are in the habit of getting
intoxicated should never carry firearms.

@>The Democratic primary meetings, held in
this county on Saturday last, passed off very quiet
ly. In two of the districts-the 4th and Sth-
there was some opposition to Mr.. Talbot but he
carried both by large majOrities, and the county
is therefore solid for him, the convention which
met at Towsontown on Monday electing six Tai
bott delegates to the Congressional district con-
vention, which will meet at EIkton on the 9th of
August next. 1t is said that the Carroll county
delegation will vote for Mr.. Talbot, which, with
his six from Baltimore county, will give him the
nomination. 1t is said that DIR. Shaw, of Carroll,
is really candidate, but the belief is that he is
only running in Mr.. Talbott's interest. ]. T. C..
Hopkins, Esq, of Hartford, is bona .tide candi-
date and will get his own county, with perhaps
Cecil, but without some additional help he will
not be able to get through. He is very clever
gentleman and would make creditabIe represen-
tatiye.

York, Pa, June 5th, 1884.
Messrs. Editors decoration day was duly OBJ
served in this place. The business places were
closed genrally during the afternoon. The banks
were all closed by virtue of the legal character OF
the day. The procession formed in the afternoon
with Company A, York Greys, Capt e. z. Strine
commanding, preceded by the Spring Garden band;
following the Greys was Post 81, G. A. r., with
the Worth Infantry band, the Sons of Veterans,
with drum corps, and Post 1863 c0lored veterans,
with a drum corps. These were on foot followed
by the children of the Orphans Home and others
in carriages The procession moved under the
marshalship of George L. Rooms. The address
was delivered by E. d. Zieger Esq, late District
Attorney of York. Post 369 decorated the graves.
At Shrewsbury and Glen Rock Post 342, G. A. R.,
had charge Of the ceremonies, which were very
impressive. Rev. A. +. Driesbaugh and DR.. d.
C. Eberhart delivered the addresses.
Mr.. Thomas Nicely, prominent dealer in fancy
horses, died at his former hOme in the lower end
of the county, after long illness, on Thursday
last His funeral took place on Sunday and was
attended many of his acquaintance from this
place. The procession is said to have been one
mile long. Mr.. Nicely was engaged in this place
with Mr.. Charles Mayer in the fancy horse sales
and exchange stables. He was also prominent
candidate for Sheriff in this county.
Monday great day for Catholics in this
place. The laying of the cornerstone of a new

of the day. There were number of societie,
present from Baltimore, Lancaster, Columbia anc
Harrisburg, with those of York, together with foul
bands of music, made an imposing display on thu
street. The procession was over half mile II
length, with John Mayer as marshal 1t is esti
mated that over 5000 visiting Catholics were il
town and took part in the ceremonies.
The Chicago convention is all the talk just now
and everybody is guessing in favor of their par
ticular candidate. 1t is likely before The UNIo'
goes to press the agony will be over and you will
be able to present to your readers the standard
bearers of one of the great political parties. Tit
result of the present convention will not allay thu
July, the result of which will be looked to witt
great interest, will continue to keep up politica
gossip and speculation. 1t seems there is but on
candidate talked of among Democrats, and that i
S. J. Tilden, so that it looks as if he would b
nominated by reclamation, and then the fight viii
begin.
