SHOOTING AFFRAY
In n store Rt michigan city, Miss
Near & and Junction.

The little town of Michigan City,
Miss, six niles south OF Grand june
ton, on the Illinois Central railroad,
was the scene of lively fusillade last
Friday morning. 1t was the shooting
of Capt Larkin MCKinzle, q planter
and money lender, by the well known
and highly esteemed o. +. Oakley,
also a planter, and engaged with his
brother-.n-law II. w. Hordaway, mel
chandising a. the above place. The
cause OF the difficulty, as reported to
this paper, is that Mr.. Oakley had, in
the absence of bis brother-in-law,
taken steps and secured debt that
was about to be lott, and in which
Cant, McKinzie had lost the chance OF
securing one he held against the same
arty. Entering OAkley's store, Nc
Kinzie declared that he should have
allowed him to share in the garnish-
ment against the party. Being
refused the privilege he became very
Wrathy and abusive, Cursing him
80 that Oakley requested him to deslst
and remember what he was doing,
telling him that as a man o. his age
he should have some consideration
about him. Going away for a little
while, he scon turned, but only to
curse and be more violent; and agar
being told by Mr.. Oakley that h'
would not and could not allow him u
talk TO him that way, he pulled hi
pistol and wi h an oath fred. 1t wa
returned, aud kept up for three o
four rounds, the captain iallin,
wounded in three or four places, Will
Mr.. Oakley war not hit. The captain
was supposed 10 be MORALLY wounded
but upon examination was found I
have suffered but slight injuries. Nj
Oakley came to this city, where h
has relatives, not that he was
refugee, having given bond before b
left, but that he might be saved th
necessity OF difficulty with the cal
tain's sons, as the captain himself AZ
vised him to leave. The late st repor
are that the captain is getting bett,
fast, and Mr.. Oakley has returned
his home.

Description of the Equitable Pro.



Unusual but well deserved attention
OF capitalists is being attracted to the
progress and securities of the Equita-
| BILE Gas Light Company of New York,
whose works are situated between
Thirty-ninth and Forty-frst streets
and First avenue and East river. In
1883 this company determined toerect
works for the manufacture OF what is
commonly known as "water gas, by
an altogether new method, the Lime
process, invented by the distinguished
engineer, Baron Jerzmanowski, and to
that end entered into q contract with
the well known engineer and con-
tractor, Henry j. Dawson, for the
erection of works of over 100000 feet
capacity The new gas was sent out in
1884, and through its purity, brilliancy
and softness met at once with public
favor, to such an extent that the COM
pany, fearing that the demand would
soon exhaust its capacity to supply,
made in 1885 a second contract with
Mr.. Dawson for the enlargement OF
the buildings, apparatus and holders
of its then existing works, which in
crease was accomplished in time to
meet the heavier demands OF the past
! winter. But the public requirements
were only temporarily provided for,
+ and the spring of 1886 found the com.
! pany as much in need of increased
productive power as it had been pre-
yious to the enlargement of 1885
f Consequently, ground was purchased
on the west side of the city for the
accommodation of holders of 5000,
600 cubic feet capacity. The block OF
the east side between Forty-hrst anC
Forty-second streets, Immediately ad
{ Joining its present works, was likewise
: secured and a third contract was made
with Mr.. Dawson, under which he il
now constructing for the company an
: other distinct plant. This will b,
equal in apparatus and greater in hold
j ING capacity than the works as the,
are at present, in order that the com
Z pany may avail itself of this large ad
dition to its ability to meet the de
4 mand for gas during next winter. MI
Dawson has bound himself to hav
; the works and holders in readiness 70
! the fall of 1856, an undertaking UMPIRE
cedented in the history of the cree
ton of gas-wOTks Of such magnitude
In connection with this subject
will no doubt be of general interest :
