Charles ii. Ham blin, city editor of the

lodging between the tibia and fibia bones.
DR.. Johnson was cilieG and probed for the
ball, but being unable to find IL determined
TO let II remain rather than extend the wound
by cutting. Mr.. Hamblin will be laid up
week or more. The papers are constantly
filled with warnings to boys against carrying
firearms, and The TELEGRAM has been fear

some of the editors upon its contemporary
sheets. Mr.. Hamblin il one of those editors
who considers a loaded revolver a necessary
adjunct 10 his table furniture when in the
Office, and a safe travelling companion when
stalking abroad. There IL only one class of

of Secretary Bayard last night. He was at
the State Department for an hour or two to-
day. and left Washington at o'clock this
afternoon 10 regain his family Ia New York.
When interviewed to-day Kelley simply re-
marked that there was nothing to be said
except he was still the accredited Minister to
Austria Kelley declined to intimate whether
he intended To resign. Secretary Bayard
this evening could give no information on
this point. Bayard expresses himself per
fectly satisfied with keiley's conduct since
his appointment to the Austrian mission
and his estimate of Kelley a. a gentleman
and creditable representative OF the govern
ment Al any foreign court has increased
