FATAL SHOOTING.
A Young Man in Cambridge Shoots His
Father Through the Lungs.

BosroN. MAY 13.
At an early hour this morning Walter
Bradshow fatally shot his father, Thomas A.
Bradshow, at their home, 10S pleasant street,
Cambridge. Bradshow is dying of his in
juries. Thomas c. Bradshow, the father.
aged Sc years, has until recently lived away
from his family and for seven or eight years
has not contributed to their support
A few weeks since he returned to them and
has been living with them since, having good
employment. This morning Walter, aged %
years, went to his fathers room while the
latter was asleep, and awakened him saying
that his mother wanted some money for gro
ceries. The father jumped from the bed and
pushed young Bradshow towards the door.
Walter drew pistol and warned his father
to keep away from him. His father, Walter
claims, made another movement towards him
when a sudden movement of his hand caused
the pistol to 60 of without his intention. The
ball passed through his fathers lung and Is
embedded near the spine. His position is
very critical. Walter gave himself up and
was committed to Jail without bail. Walter
has been supporting the family while the
father WAS away, but it is not known that
there had been any strong i'll feeling between
them.
Thomas c. Bradshaw, who was shot by his
son in Cambridgport this forenoon is in q
comfortable condition tonight, and hopes are
entertained of his recovery.

FROM WASHINGTON.
FIRE AT WILLARD.S.
OKe Of WashinEton's Old Hotels Injured
BY Fire.

WASHINGTON, May Is.
Willard's Hotel on Falmouth street is on
fire. The flames have made considerable
progress, and it seems likely that the structure
will be entirely destroyed. The FIRE started
in the lower part of the building, ran up the
elevator. and spread out under the tin roof.
The halls and stairways are filled with smoke.
A number of men have been compelled to
escape from the upper stories by means of
ladder.
At noon the fremen had practically extin-
guished the flames, and but one stream of
water was playing upon the building. The
fire 10 said to have originated in the boiler
room beneath, where it had been burning for
nearly half An hour before it was discovered.
The flames were drawn up the shaft of the
coal elevator, and the roof began to blaze, but
the fire was soon extinguished at that point.
The smoke was very dense, and several per-
sons narrowly escaped sufiocation, - the
stairways were for q time impossible from
that cause. 1t is impossible at this hour to
estimate the loss.
A great many people were badly frightened
but no one was hurt. Some ludicrous incl
dents occurred. Congressman Morrison
pitched a trunk full OF papers out of the win
dow. The trunk burst as it struck the side
walk. and the colonel abandoned the rest of
his property in the room to other hands while
he devoted himself to securing the scattered
papers in the streets. Everybody has re-
turned to the hotel, and the business is going
on as usual, and but slightly inconvenienced
by the. disorder and excitement.

FOREIGN NEWS.
ENGLAND.
The Motion Of Cessare ReneweA-Mr.
Giadstone's Reply 10 Sir Michael
Hicks.Beach.

LONDON, May Is.
Last evening Sir Michael Hicks Beach re-
newed his motion of censure of the govern
ments course in the case of Gen. Gordon.
In conclusion he said, England now de-
mands that Gen. Gordon and those who trust
him shall now be rescued"
Mr.. Gladstone on rising was greeted with
hearty applause. He congratulated Sir NJ.
Hicks-Beach on his forcible speech, but
strenuously denied that the government had
deserted Gen. Gordon. The demand of the
honorable gentleman, he insisted, amounted
to war of conquest against . people strug-
Cling to be free. [Cheers from the Liberals.
The war with which the Mahdi 10 waging is
. war for freedom. Ii Is what the honora-
able gentleman wishes put down. Re-
newed cheers. Continuing, the prime min
lister denied that the government had failed
to do one single act that was not for the
safety and success of Gen. Gordon. .sThe
charges which the honorable gentleman just
preferred against the government are absurd.
They can only be accounted for by his lack of
kno~ ledge of the true facts. The true object
of the motion, whatever may be its ostensible
aim. is to displace the government" MIR.
Gladstone referred to official dispatches to
prove Gen. Gordon's security, and to justify
the action which the government had taken.
The cheering that greeted Mr.. Gladstones
speech was principally from the radical
benches, The wings were silent. 1t is be-
lieved that many liberals will abstain from
voting on the resolutions, and that some
members OF the party will even vote against
the government. The House was never be-
fore so crowded. Mr.. Gladstone's speech
lasted an hour and quarter.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach's motion was re-
jected-303 to 275. The Psrnellites voted
with the minority. The debate previous to
the vote was excessively animated.
Lord Randolph Churchill compared Glad
stones speech in the Commons yesterday
with the declaration of Pontius Plate, pub
licly washing his hands of the blood of just
man.
The small majority secured BY the govern
ment is looked on as the sensation of the
session. The liberal leaders had for some
time confidently counted on a much larger
expression in favor of the government policy.
Thousands Of persons vainly endeavored to
gsin admission to the galleries.
The popular expression of feeling is strong
ly in opposition to the government. The
result of the voting, showing so palpably the
reduction of the governments power in the
House of Commons was received with con-
tinuous cheers from the conservatives. This
is the fourth motion for censure that has been
voted on during the present session of par
Lament, and shows the fast dwindling away
of the governments majority.

O'Conor had taken a little tea and toast,
which produced such distress that on the fol-
lowing day he took no nourishment whatever.
The following day he took three glasses of
milk and on the next dav one glass, causing
so much pain that they dared not give him
any more. Then he took Q little wine and
water, but for the last five days he took moth
ing but water and his medicine, which he
always received from DIR. Roth, who visited
him eight times each day.
Never until after twelve o'clock yesterday
has he declined to take what the doctor might
give him. but at that time his stomach re-
fused to retain even teaspoonful OF water.
O'Conor said his stomach had troubled him
for ten years, and that seemed to be the seat
of the disease at the present time. The last
