Heath's house, but set their guns against
the steps outside. About ! o'clock it com

his gun in. Mr.. Heath asked bis son, who
is 1S years old, to bring his in also. Wal
ter stepped to the door and stopped down,
taking hold of the barrel Of the gun, the
stock resting on the ground. As he straight
ened up, the left-hand barrel went off, the
entire load taking effec: just above the

A special from Dubuque, Iowa, says:
Senator Allison, who leaves here today
for Washington, said in an interview that
the party which failed to do its share in
speedily reducing tariff taxes would lose in
public favor. The necessity for.some action
was great. and Congress would be com
PEELED to act. He did not wish to outline
any definite plan, but said that parties were
so divided that in order to reach any result
mutual concessions must be made. He
would be willing to repeal the tobacco tas
and sugar tariff and to further enlarge the
free list.

upon my personal character, your s;o5aora-

cstly requested to give your opinion upon
these two questions in writing to me.
Being not aware of doing any improper
action with which I could have been con-
nected, have done this step only for self
protection, and hope that you will do JUS
tice.
Respectfully yours,
E. J. ScHMITZ.
The explanation of the matter is in all
probability this: By the terms of the recent
supply bill the State House architect is re-
quired to reside in Columbia. This Mr.
Nelson cannot do, on account of his busi-
ness in Baltimore. Somebody else will
have to be chosen, and, in the interim the
work has been stopped, and the services of
Mr.. Schrlitz, incidentally and consequently
are not now required. There is evidently
no reflection upon Mr. Schmitz's integrity
or competency implied in the dismissal It
is merely in accordance with the natural
course Of events, and any application that
Mr.. Schnlitz has made, or will make, for
the position of Architect Of the State House,
will be duly and properly considered
