The Shooting of James Sullivan.

The Shooting Of James Sullivan.
ANTONIO REGINI ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGE OF
AssAULTING HIM.
The case Of Antonio Regini, the italian
charged with shooting James Sullivan, at 9th
and Pomeroy streets, in the county, two weeks
ago Sunday night, was called for trial
in the Police Court this morning. His
counsel, T. c. Taylor, pleaded not guilty.
Sullivan testified that on the night
charged he was on his way home
with some friends when he saw the
Italian. Some one in his party said, HELLO

ness leg. On cross-examination witness denied
that he demanded money of, or that he at
tempted to rob, the Italian.
VIM. Thomas gave corroboratiye testimony.
he said that five shots were fred, and Sullivan
fell to the ground crying, I'm shot" After
the shooting struggle took place.
Officer Appleby testified to the arrest He
said that the Italian accused Sullivan of at
tempting to rob him.
Special Officer Henson, colored, testified that
he heard the voice of an Italian calling
"police." He started toward Grant avenue,
but before arriving there he heard several
pistol shots fired. When he arrived at Pome-
roy street he found the italian and Sullivan on
the ground. The latter had the revolver and
was swapping the weapon at the Italian. The
latter accused Sullivan of having attempted to
rob him and denied that the pistol belonged to
him.
Mr.. Shillington said that in view of the tes-
timony he would not ask that the defendant be

Building on Sand.

THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF IMPROVING
THE LEAGUE ISLAND MAYNARD.
The report Of the commission appointed to
discover ways and means of improving the
League Island navy-yard, at Philadelphia, is
now before Secretary Whitney for his con-
sideration. The recommended expenditures
amount to 100000. There is now on hand
$3.50, 900 for the construction of dry-dock and
$4,000 for the building of a wharf or sea-wall
locations of both of which are suggested by
the commission. 1t is astonishing, an officer
told STAR reporter yesterday, how much
money has been put into this yard, with very
little good result. The yard is situated on a
bed Of silt, washed down the river, and il ia
almost impossible to obtain safe foundations
for the wharves and buildings. 1t was neces-
sary at one time to dig a casting pit, but the
hole filled with water as fast as the material
was excavated. Then the plan was conceived
OF sinking Of an old ships boiler, with the
top end and the interior arrangements re-
moved, to serve as restraining circumference
for the pit. The boiler was safely lowered
into the hole and the workmen left the
place at night with the feeling that the prob
lem was solved. In the morning, however.
they found their boiler raised up from the Dit
to quite height above the level, floating on
the water that had filtered through the sandy
SOIL In view OF these facts, he continued, Il
has always appeared odd that the whole estab-
lishment is not moved either across to Glouces-
ter or down the river to Chester, But he
added, any suggestions to this effect raises a
general protest from the entire PENNSYLVANIA
delegation in Congress.

PRoPosED CARD PLAYING FOR THE Y. NJ. O. A.
Boston dispatch to the New York S,1s, dated
December &c, says; The Charlestown Young
Mems Christian Association has been on its
last legs for some time, and tonight meeting
was held TO decide its fate. There was a good
deal Of plain talk, and finally an Episcopal
clergyman proposed introducing card playing
as an attraction. This suggestion was en-
phatically squelched- Then q Baptist minister
asserted that the only way to keep the sssocis-
ton alive was to drop the evangelical test,
which is applied to all candidates for admis-
sion, and accept as members any young men
of good and regular standing In the community.
This raised q howl from the strictly orthodox
members present 1t was finally voted 10 stick
to the evangelical doctrine at any cost and II
need be die with colors flying.

1t Changes with the Moon.

THE CURIOUS BIRTHMARK WHICH DIsFIauRrs A
PENNSYLVANIA MANS NECK.
James Rothermel, who lives in Fayette
county, Pa, has a strange birthmark which
makes him an object Of superstitious regard
among his neighbors. According to . cor
respondent Of the Pittsburg Post, on the
back of Rothermers head, just below and
little to the right of the base of the
brain, is q small excrescence, blush in
color and crescent shaped. The moment the
moon begins to turn the first quarter Of her
pole the mark begins to undergo startling
change. Its blush color turns to q brilliant
red, and the flesh below it and extending
diagonally across his neck to the
left shoulder begins to swell. As
the moon grows older the birthmark
gets redder and redder, and the flesh
swells more and more, until, when the moon
has reached her 'full," the crescent-shaped
mark is of fiery scarlet, and the flesh extend
ing from the mark to the left shoulder has
swollen into q horn-like roll two or three
inches in thickness at the largest point, and
gradually tapering to point near the left
shoulder.
As the moon gradually begins to wane, in like
manner the scarletof the crescentshaped mark
becomes less fiery, the horn-like roll across the
is dark again there IL nothing TO be seen but
the small blush cYescent-shaped mark. For
over twenty years these changes have
followed monthly with the moons phases. And
30 marked are they and so regular that
Rothermel can tell, by simply placing his hand
on the back Of his neck, exactly what stage the
moon II In.

To Revive the Use Of the Lance.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
The question Of reviving the use Of the
lance in the French army is again being dis
cussed. A military expert, in a recent letter to
the Temps, has much to say in favor of this
weapon. He appears to think it was abolished
after the war without sufficient reflection, and
mentions two incidents in the battle of Water
loo in which English cavalry, while in the act Of
charging French troops, changed their purpose
when they saw these armed with the lance, and
attacked other regiments supplied with short
weapons. The writer thinks the main argu-
ment employed in abolishing the lance in the
French army-the length Of time needed to
obtain mastery Of the weapon-an erroneous
one.

A meeting Of the partners in interest In the
Atlantic building, r street northwest, was held,
upon invitation, at the residence of Mr.. A. T.
Britton last evening. Mr.. Britton, the presi-
dent, gave q detailed report of the con-
struction of the building, and formally
turned the building over to the

but when transferred to the incorporation it
was already paving all fixed charges and oper-
ating expenses and also returning handsome in

there was much bright and interesting talk con-
corning the proud future of Washington; much

supervision given to the construction of the
Atlantic building; and many Fluctuations ex-
changed upon the fact that the magnificent

associates Of a handsome and most interesting
old Dutch clock, having afamous pedigree, as

ing the Atlantic building enterprise such q
wonderful success.
