DANDY YOUNG BROKER.

Ward. of the firm of Grant, Ward 4
Co., was a stylish young man. He lived
on the foreign plan, and required a deal
of waiting upon. American ways were
not good enough for him. No wonder his
extravaganza wrought his ruin. A short
time ago the New York Herald said OF
Mr.. Ward:
He hires a brick stable IN College
Place in which he keeps his horses and
some of his carriages are kept in an ad'
Joining stable. He keeps a coachman
and a footman, "a French cook, a French
butler and a French waiter. MIR. Ward
owns "a horses, most Of which he keeps
in the stable adjoining his mansion al
Strawberry Hill, about q mile from the
village of Stamford. He bought this
mansion, which was very beautiful, IN
1881, and paid S43, 900 for it. Then he
laid out nearly $3.50 0 in making If
more beautiful. 1t is surrounded by
about IL acres Of land. Not far from il
he owns a farm. At present he has ID
his stable on College Place two hand
some carriage horses and a pair OF ponies
which Mr.. Ward drives to a phaeton.
Those who sunk their money through
Ward L Grant may, for the want Of
more substantial ~solace, gaze upon the
graphic picture.

Killed Instantly.


san FRANCISCO, May 24.-Last night
while an unknown man was crossing the
railroad trestle bridge between Oakland
and East Oakland, q train approached him,
and he attempted to escape the danger OF
the train by lowering himself between the
ties. Owing to the bundle he carried, his
head became wedged between the ties and
slightly p%rotruded. The pilot OF the en-
CINE struck his head and caused instant
death. When the Coroner arrived the
body was still hanging. tightly wedged in
its place, and was removed with difficulty.

is REYNoLDs A DUDE.

This was the question in the House
yesterday. Whether c~ommendable or
not, it looks as though a Lieutenant in
the navy Of the United States would
rather receive a foreign decoration than
be honored in any way among his own
people. This stares us in the face all
the time. But because . man apes mo-
bility it does not follow that he is q
dude. Chances are Lieutenant Rey-
nolds is a gallant fellow and is fully
entitled to all there is in the Imperial
Order Of Francis Joseph of Austria;
but such ~emblazonry does not sit well
on the citizen of our Republic. He, Of
course, thinks it does. but nobody else
thinks SO. However, if he has saved
IL Austrian lives, for Gods sake let him
be decorated.

ENTREE AND EXIT.

A writer in an Indian newspaper, re.
calling Gen. Gordon's departure from
London to Egypt, says that "Earl Gran
vile carried his dressing bag, the Duke
of Cambridge got his ticket, and Lord
Harrington held the door as he got into
the train" Whatever may be the de.
gree Of veracity in this description. the
picture is nothing to the n that would
be presented if Gordon should return to
London. But while q gripsack and q
tourists ticket might take him into the
Soudan, it seems that nothing short Of an
army will be able to get him out.

YrsrICE TO THE MEXICAN VET

There is a prospect at last OF the Mex

Of them have passed out into the Great
Bevoud with no recognition Of the debt
due them by the American people OF me

can soldiers have died within the past
few wears in poverty, lever having re-
ceiyed anything but the beggarly wages
Maid an American soldier, their poverty,

lief 10 their condition. One OF the old
Mexican soldiers, who had been a charge
IN a few friends and afterward became
an inmate Of the county hospital, died
only a few months ago in n of the min
ING cities of this State, and was of course
buried As a pauper. Senator Williams OF
Kentucky has recently given notice that
he will call up a bill, which has passed
the House, granting pensions to all Mex
Jean veterans entitled to them. Petitions
from all parts Of the country favoring
the passage of the bill are being sent to
the Senate. 1t is to be hoped that no
Republican opposition will be brought up
against the measure, as was the case with
another Mexican pension bill. and that

COVER THE HILL TO THE POOR
HOUSE.

It is said that the ex-Confederate Gen.
erals Beauregard and Early are accumu-
lating goodly fortunes as Commissioners
of the Louisiana Lottery. Considering
the seeming inability Of the people of
this country. despite their most frequent
and liberal gifts to Gen. Grant, to keep
that worthy above the reach of want,
perhaps, suggests the San Francisco Ex-
change. it would be a good plan to start
a lottery scheme and make him a Com
missioner. Certain it is that some new
method Of charity must be i~naugurated
for his benefit, and that speedily, or he
will yet succeed in his efforts to break
into the poorhouse. Perhaps, however,
the case Of Grant is but another exem'
pliication of the kindness which kills,
and that if he were thrown on his OWE
esource and left to rustic for . living
he would thrive better.

THE SHOOTING scRAPE
Of the Wheeling Men Down at
Marietta.
RediiIion's Crookedness and Crime---His
Wife Tries to Commit Suicide---A
Slight Accident at the
Riverside Furnace.

Yesterday morning the REGISTER con
tanned an exclusive account of the shooting
of Charles Orr at Marietta by II. +. Bedil-
lion of this city. Bedillion had been en-
ployed selling the New Era wringer, and
yesterday evening REGlsTER reporter had
talk with Z, W. Connolly, Of this city, who
has the general agency for that wringer.
He had just returned from Marietta where
he learned full particulars of the shooting
stfray, and he gave the following:
For some time past Bedilion has not
been exactly straight, and last week he was
detected in some crooked work and dis
charged. Orr, who is cripple in one arm,
has charge Of the agency in Marietta, and
Connolly directed him to furnish no more
wringerS to Bedillion. The latter, how
ever, helped himself to the goods and sold
tEem for cash, rocketing the money, as
Connolly charges. This was what led to
the quarrel between Orr and himself on
Wednesday, at'the Mott House, at Marietta.
Orr refused to allow him to have wringers.
and BedilliOn followed him up to his room,
where he was heard to say he would shoot
him. They came down stairs, Bedillion
still quarreling and holding a revolver in
his hand Finally he said, 81 said would
shoot you and will, pointing the revolver
and firing. A boy belonging to the hotel
struck his arm and the ball passed over
Orr's head and lodged in the ceiling,
Though cripple, Orr then grappled with
Bedillion, but the latter put the revolver be-
hind 0rr's back and fired, the ball entering
the left shoulder and lodging in his lungs.
He fell and was taken to his room, where
two physicians are now attending him. In
ternal hemorrhage has set in and his re-
coyery is considered doubtful.
BediIliOn was arrested in the Mott House
and safely jailed. Two charges were en-
tered against him-aSsault with felonious
intent and shooting with intent to kill.
Either is sufficient to send him to the Ohio
penitentiary for from one to twenty years.
He will have hearing at 9 o'clock this
morning.
On Monday, Bedillion had secret mar
rage with chambermaid from ParkerS-
burg hotel and his wife was in Marietta with
him When she learned of his trouble, she
made an effort to hang herself, bat was pre-
vented.

The Boston Pilot Comes Out Squarely for
Cleveland-Its Reasons.
Irish Democrats in this vicinity have
been awaiting with some interest to find
the position to be taken by the Boston
Pilot, the great Irish Catholic paper of New
England. In this weeks issue it comes
out squarely for Cleveland and the REGIS-
TER commends its views to every Irishman's
attention. 1t says: THE man who re-
ceived, on the second ballot 6S3 votes out
of total of $50 in Democratic conveu-
ton, is unquestionably the choice Of the
party. We opposed the nomlna-
ton of Cleveland, the candidate We shall
faithfully and earnestly work for the cleo
ton of Cleveland the Democratic standard
bearer. The Democratic principle is the
Democratic party; and this is infinitely
greater than the men it selects or
rejects 1t involves much more than
the personal likes or dislikes OF
democrats. Not the interests OF present
men alone but the future of American ~ 80;
erty is bound mp with the preservation OF

dering fires. To lrish-Americans inTpartic
ular we say: What is the record of the b

past twenty years? What American citi-
zen of Irish birth has it protected abroad?
What shameful outrsges on American citl-
zenship has it not allowed when England
was the perpetrator and citizens Of Irish ex
traction the victims2 Not one Republican
hand has been moved to redress these aston
ishing evils except President Arthurs, and
he had to whisper and smile his objections,
because he represented the Republican par
ty. Mr.. Blaine's voice. during all those
years and when he sat in the Cabinet as
Secretary of State, would have been power
ful to correct; but it was never raised-not
once. We say to Mr. Blaine now that had
he been defender Of the rights of natural
lied citizens when those citizens were flung
into foreign prisons untried and unchanged,
the Pilot would support him to-day, and a
million Americans Of the Irish race would
vote for him in November. But be did
not do it. and his pretensions Of fair play
and friendship now are sheer humbug.

close up the left or Pryor's Island with 9
foot dixie; the dixie repaired at head of Sis
