Shooting Yesterday.

Mr.. Eugene Webb and Mr.. Nelson
Stevens, two well-known young men
in this city, had a shooting affair about
IL o'clock yesterday at the corne Of
Monroe and First East streets, in
which Webb was shot through the
feshy part of his right leg near the
thigh, in the vicinity Of the femeral
artery, and Stevens was shot in
the rear part Of the right shoulder, tae
ball lodging under the right shoulder
blade, both being painful, but not dan
gerous wounds. Mr.. Webb was ar
rested by Constable Little, and taken
home, when DR.. BiTchett was called to
attend him. Stevens was arrested by
Marshal Brown, who took him to DR..
Hardenstein's Office, where his wound
was probed unsuccessfully for the ball,
and then dressed, after which he gave
bond for his appearance, and went to
his fathers residence, on Pearl street.
The trouble, as cleaned from several
sources, was as follows: Mr.. Stevens,
the father of Nelson, and Webb had
some words over a financial settlement
Friday, when Stevens spoke roughly 10
Webb, who struck him a severe
blow in the face. Nelson, who
is a carpenter at Spengler's mill, heard
of the striking of his father and
determined to avenge it. Mr.. Webb
goes through Monroe street on his
way to dinner and is very regular in
his habits, going about the same hour
every day. When he approached the
corner Of First East Nelson approached
him and commenced firing at him and
emptied his pistol, and while he was
turning to reload his pistol Webb fred
and struck him when Nelson run
down First East street, where Webb
sent another shot after him.

Fire h Morning.

About 1925 o'clock this morning fire
was discovered in one Of the empty
buildings on Levee street belong
ing to Mrs. Fred Lloyd. The
alarm was sent in. but before
the fire department arrived. the
flames had gained such Roadway, that at
one time the whole block was in danger.
AS soon as the engines arrived how
ever, the fire was soon under
control, but the building in which
the ere originated and the one
adjoining were completely destroyed.
AT this hour it is impossible to give
any information as to the loss, or in
surance, but we learn that there was a
light insurance on the buildings.
While it is not absolutely certain ii
was the general impression that the
fire was the work Of an incendiary. as
the building had not been occupied fol
some time.

Many Of you boys are crazy TO go away
ITO sea- You have read stories about it till
your heads are all turned. Well, it is pos
sible for you to 60 and learn to be sailors if
your parents will let you. The best way is
to get yourselves apprenticed to some one of
the United States scholarships. There are re-
ceiving ships for boys who wish to enter the
navy at New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and San Francisco. The Bchoolship to
which they are finally sent to get their train
ing is the New Hampshire, off the coast of
Rhode Island. A writer in a newspaper
says:
ANY boy can learn for himself something
about the discomforts of life at sea if he will
get out of bed at midnight when there is a
storm raging and go out, dressed only in
coat n trousers, and climb a tree, and
busy himself until daylight by cutting off
limbs with a ~jackknife. Thi, is hardly the
season for a fair trial, however; a sleat storm
late in the fall would give a better idea of the
real life which sailors live"

VICksBURG, June is, 1886,
Mr.. +. NJ. Andrews:

NIL Il : W. AHuICNos
DEAR SIR deem it my duty to
give all the facts # lating to my delay
in reaching Centennial Island yester-
day. | followed your instructions
explicitly and was at Glass Bayou
Bridge precisely at ten o'clock to cross
the Lake with you. l saw Major
Magruder, who asked mi to walt a
few moments to receive, l think he
said, a communication from Messrs.
Booth and Smith. AS you had not ar
rived, l kept company with Major
Magruder, in Mr.. H%awthorne's store
Just at the north end of the bridge.
Almost instantly Sheriff Worrell ap-
peared on the opposite end of the
bridge. l retreated through the store
and concealed myself. In a few
moments more Squire Lawns made a
search for me but | avoided him. | i'm.
medlately opened communication with
a friend who sent word that the Sheriff,
a deputy, and Squire Lawns were
all watching to arrest me. The first
minute the coast of the lake Vas clear
| sent a colored man to get a skiff
farther up the lake and crossed with
him and reached the island at ten
Minutes to l o'clock. After arriving
tlere, | sent a colored nan to look for
the gentlemen, but learned they had
returned to the city.
l wish you to ntt.fy Messrs. Cash
man and H-nry that you informed me
they refused to wait on the island
longer than a half hour, although you
assured them | would be there by l
o'clock, and that they refused to name
another time and place of meeting, or
to take that into consideration then,
Under the circumstances l wish you to
inform Messrs. eastman and Henry
have no further demand to make of
Mr.. eastman. Your friend,
e.. Z. WRIGHT.

III Al
The picture shows how the fellows must
stand uoon ropes and balance themselves
almost upon nothing while using their
hands to pull in and fasten the huge sail be-
fore a squall comes.
Before they can 90 to the real sea, how
ever, and do that, they have much to learn
in the United States schoolship. They are
Eaken as naval apprentices, serving in this
capacity three years. They remain in the
havy until they are 81 years old.
After that they may resign if they wish.
It is better to resign then, indeed, for boys
Who have served in the navy in this way
tan never become high officers, no matter
low skillful, talented or ambitious they are.
The officers are taken from the United
States Naval academy at Annapolis.
This is a shame, but it is a fact. A school
ship boy might stay in the navy fifty years
and be as skillful as brave Admiral Farra-
Et, but he can never get to be anything
more than a oatswain-pronounced bo'sen
with a pay of a few hundred dollars q
year. So it is better after being educated
in the scholarships to resign and go into the
merchant marine service. This means the
common trade ships that carry cargoes and
passengers. In this service the young man
can get to be somebody if he is ambi. ious.
Boys are taken into the navy betw '"1 the
ages of IA and 16. They must be phyD; ~
perfect, and be able to read and write. This
is not much, but it said that only ebnut
twenty-six boys out of 100 are able DO ed
1t is a sad fact that most have something
the matter with them. Many have hurt
themselves smoking cigarettes, which in
jures the action of the heart. No boy who
is a cigarette SMOKER is admitted. The ex-
aiming surgeon always knows it il they
are, too. The smoke stlins their fingers
brown, and he has only to look at their
hands

The Louisiana License Bill Meeting
with Bitter Opposition.

The Louisiana License Bill Meeting
with Bitter Opposition.
BATON kcu0E, June l5-The
license bill has caused more hard feel
log than any other measure before the
general assembly. Licenses Of every
branch Of mercantile and other
business has been raised to
a considerably larger amount than
formerly. The liquor men seem TO
think that they have been taxed the
heaviest, but their license becomes
insignificant when compared TO that
placed upon the telephone business.
The latter license heretofore has been
$3.50 to the State and $3.50 to the city,
but this year the legislature proposes
to levy a tax Of $21 as the State and
city license on each telephone erected
and in operation. The Bell Telephone
Company have fifteen hundred tele-
phones throughout the State and will
consequently have to pay $31,500
license. Superintendent Fowler is here,
and to your correspondent yesterday
stated that the proposed license was
exorbitant, ndifsuc a bill was passed
telephones would have to be with
draw, as the license would comprise
one third Of the annual gross receipts
of the company. A petition, signed
by over two thousand merchants Of
New Orleans, protesting against the
high license bill, was sent up BY Duden-
heffer and read in the house. Repre-
sentatives Of nearly every branch Of
business are here, and propose to fight
the bill to the bitter end. Great times
are looked for when the bill comes up.
The house judiciary committee this
morning reported favorably upon Mr..
Graham's bill ranking and classifying
priority and liens and rights Of pledge
in favor Of lessor and furnisher Of sup
plies on crops. This bill is Of
the utmost Importance to planters and
merchants and will do away with a
great deal unnecessary litigation, and.
at the same time protect the tenant.
Downing's %penitentiary bill was
killed this evening in the house on en-
grossment and passage to a third read
ing. 1t was indefinitely postponed by
a vote of AZ yeas to 40 nays. I. G.
Murphy and L. M. Gix were only two
from the New Orleans delegation who
voted against the bill. Two hours
were spent in discussing the measure,
during which strong arguments were
made on both sides.
BATON ROUGE, June 18.-In the
house, Cospari, Of Natehitoches, pre-
scented a bill providing penalties for
breaking in and entering any railroad
freight or passenger car or depot, and
providing penalties for malicious injury
of railroad property.
Bossier, of St. Tammany, editor Of
Mascot, presented a concurrent resolu-
tion to decrease the expenses Of the
judiciary. 1t passed unanimously.
The general appropriation bill passed
finally and the license bill was fixed
f1c Monday. Both bodies adjourned to
Monday.
The senate judiciary committee re.
ported favorably on a bill creating an
additional justice of the peace and
constable for the first ward Of Caddo.
Senator Robson presented a bill to
authorize the governor to let contracts
for building levees without advertise
ment.
In the house the penitentiary lease
wa indefinitely postpsned, year As
nays 50.

emit Of the Exchange, and Capt. Ka'-
inski's Insurance Patrol were lmmed d
ately notified Of the accident and r..
paired promptly TO the scene. The
blazing pole first claimed the attention
Of the patrol, and they promptly ex.
%tinguished the ll4zs. i, however,
broke out at fr, quent intervals after
ward, and Col. Moorman and his able
corps Of assistants were compelled to
keep a sIrict watch all night to prevent
further damage.
The large and fine cable extending
from the window to the pole was badly
damaged, but as Col. Norman has a
duplicate cable he will replace the
damaged WI this morning.
The damage to the switchboard in
the Exchange was slight and the
repair corps were sent out on the wires
last night to repair such damage as
they could discover.
1t would haye been highly danger
Gus for any one to have assembled the
corner pole last night, and all damage
on that will be repaired this morning,
and at 8 o'clock it is expected all the
telephones of the system will be in per-
feet working order.
The point of contact had not been
discovered up to l o'clock this morn
ing, and most probably will not be un-
til daylight.
Too much praise cannot be given to
Miss Chil1ress and her young lady as
sistant for their promptness and cool
ness in the moment of danger.
