The Shooting of Lawyer Drake.

New YORK, June 2O.-John Drake, the lawyer
who was shot in his Office yesterday and his right
shoulder splintered, will probably have the arm
amputated. The man who shot him is William
G. Rhinelander, who is considered a crank, and
is related to brakes family. He is still at large.
Drake will not make a charge against him. He
was a frequent visitor at brakes Office, and yes
terday afternoon he called and remained some
time closeted with the lawyer. The ofice-boy
insists that he heard no noise or loud CONVERSE
ton until the pistol-shot rang out. Mr.. Douglas,
who occupied the adjoining office, rushed in and
saw Drake forcing young Rhinelander against
the wall with the strength of desperation, and
though badly wounded his strength held out to
save him from further harm. In one of Rhine
landers hands was a revolver; this Douglas
seized and helped Drake to overpower Rhine
lander. Rhinelander was allowed to depart with
a relative, who will be responsible for his appear
ance if wanted.
Rhinelander was arrested tonight and locked
up at police headquarters. He told Inspector
Byrnes that he shot Drake because he had
alienated his wife's affections and intended to
kill him,

81. LOUIS special.
General Sherman has been pestered a good
deal recently by the inspectors of the water de-
partment. A couple of weeks ago the depart
ment threatened to shut off his water for sprink-
ling the sidewalk without a license, and yester-
day he was reported for using a lawn-hose with
out a special garden license, the supposition be-
ing that he was using hydrant water. The Gen
eral is very indignant at the way he has been
treated, and to-day expressed himself to a re-
porter as follows: 'My lawn is sprinkled with
water from my cistern. 1 do not use city
water, but if Inspector Mott would have me pay
for this, let him inform me how much he wants
and will pay it. l have been treated to a series
of abuses from the water department which is
insulting. and may cause. me to remove from st,
Louis. l never knew of such petty prosecutions
in any city as gentlemen here must undergo.
1t will end in driving many good men away. 1
am willing to pay anything, if the bill is pre-
scented to me, but I cannot submit to persecu-
lions. What can be more unpleasant than
newspaper notoriety, such as the water depart
ment has lavished on mel Tell them to come
to my house and inspect it, rate everything
double, and am willing to abide their decis-
ion.

The Penn Bank Gases.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 20.-The hearing of the
conspiracy case of Cashier Riddle, of the Penn
Bank, and I. j. Watson, oil broker, was con-
cluded before Alderman Burke this morning.
The testimony adduced showed that two notes
of Watson & Riddle, for 800, 900 each, had
never been discounted by the bank, but were
taken out of President Riddles private box by
the attorney for the bank after the second sus-
pension. The prosecution put the notes in evil
dence to show conspiracy, but the defense con-
assets of the bank. The alderman held defend
ants Watson and Riddle to court, demanding
$50, 900 bail each. Riddle had previously waived
hearing and given bail.

without Honor in His Own State.

Wilmington News.
With the smallest possible modicum Of orig
inal ability, Mr.. Bayard has secured a national
reputation. Without having ever made a great
speech in his life, he yet poses as a statesman.
The fact that he has still to originate the first
practical idea or policy appears to constitute
a perfectly stable foundation for the generally
accepted notion that he is a wise and capable
legislator; and there are even those who, in the
face of his unquestioned secession sentiments
of twenty years ago, believe him to be a patriot,
a lofty, unselfsh and devoted friend of the
best interests of our national life. When
Mr.. Bayard's true history is written he will be
put down as the most colossal political sham
of this age, if not the most successful, By
sounding his own praises and making virtuous
speeches from the housetop he has succeeded in
quilting the entire continent, except Delaware.
He has doled out the meaningless common
places of jefferson, and Madison, and Monroe
until many regard him as a sage and a patriot.
But should he be nominated at Chicago, of
which there is too little probability, this cloud of
delusive pretense will be swept aside, and the
whole country will see him as Delaware sees
him, a small, selfish, and undetermined political
trickster, who has debauched the law itself for
partisan purposes. Mr.. John Kellyis candidate,
we predict. will be found, should occasion offer,
quite worthy to march under the banner of
Tammany Hall.

Passenger Pool Contract Extended.

New YORK, June 2O.-At the close of the ses-
sion, to-day, the joint executive committee of
the railroad managers adjourned until the 18th
of July, after again extending the old passenger
pool contract until August !. This additional
extension is said to have been rendered neces
sary because outside roads, including the Chica-
go & Grand Trunk. the Delaware, Lackawana &
Western, the Indiana, Bloomington & Western,
the West Shore, the Chicago s. Atlantic, and
the Nickel-plate, have not yet agreed to enter
the pool, not being satisfied with the terms of
the contract. No changes have been made in
percentages so far, and discussion of the read
~justment under the new contract was postponed
till the July meeting.

D. l.. Wing & Co., of Litchfield, ILL.,, in Seri-
Gus Financial Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, June 20.--A report was circulated
to-day that D. L. Wing & Co., owners of the
Planet fouring-mill, at Litchfeld, Ill, were en-
barrassed, and would probably be obliged to sus-
pend. Full particulars are not obtainable, but it
is known that a considerable amount of
Wing g. Co.'S paper, drawn on Mr.. Downing,
of the firm of Downing. Shirtwood G. Co., of
Springfield, Mass, who was formerly a partner
of Wing. has been protested, and that Wing left
for New York, last night, to meet Downing, and,
if possible, arrange for payment of the drafts.
The Indebtedness of the firm is
thought to be about $3.50, 900. The
mill property at Litchfield cost $400, 900, and
has a bonded debt of 1925, 900. Wings troubles are
saidto have grown out Of an attempt to do a very
large business on inadequate capital. He has
also been engaged in the construction of a rail
road between Litchfeld and East st. Louis,
which is said to have crippled him greatly.

There is no doubt about it that the work of
yesterday, at Indianapolis, puts Indiana in good
shape for the campaign. Major Calkins is a man
of such decided personality, and SO popular and
magnetic, " that he is, as a rule, stronger than
his party. The Republicans of Indiana wisely
decided that they had no duty to perform with
respect to the Prohibitionists, other than to pur-
sue the even tenor of their way; and we may
trust the Prohibitionists will be equally clear in
realizing that they cannot expect anything serv-
iceable to their special purposes from this cam
paign. 1t is presidential year, and side issues
must stand aside.
