SLOT HER FOR TOPSEY.
Tile Serious Mistake Made by q
Drunken Man.

Drunken Man.
Al $50 o'clock last night tall colDrl
man, staggering under the effects of liquor,
was seen to stop a colored woman on Mary
land avenue, near Third street southwest.
"TOpsey," said the man, "ii YOU don't give
me back the four dollars you stole from mc
IN kill YOU"
whats the matter, man :" replied the
woman. II did not steal your money, and
my names not Topsey."
"Givc me that money back, ," he exclaimed
in an angry tone, AT the same time putting his
right hand 10 his hip pocket.
The woman, now alarmed, started on
run, but had gone only a few feet when
jackson fired, and the ball entered her back
under the right shoulder blade.
Officers Hutchinson AMI Dean, who We're
only short distance away. ran to the scene
OF the shooting, and when near the assaiant
he fired Two shots ut them, hut luckily
without taking effect lie was about to
fire fourth time, when Officer Hutchinson
grabbed the weapon in the mans hand, and
tusslc took place between them. during
which the pistol was discharged. and The
officers hand was burned by the powder.
The policemen had struggle with the
prisoner, and they had ao much as they
could do to get him into the fourth precinct
station house. He gave the name of John
Jackson, and said, II tried to Kill her, and
will do 1t when get 4 chance
The crowd which had gathered nt the
sound of the shooting assisted in taking the
wounded woman to j. Poindeyter's house,
l03 Third street southwest, where She lived,
and il was then learned that her name was
sally kcmper. The police had DR.. lIiuck-
ling summoned. who examined the wound
and said that though painful lie did not
think II serious.
The woman said She did not know the
man and had not seen him before. Her
statement was cOrroboratad by Ohlser
Hutchinson, who apparently knew tho wo-
man named "TOpsy," and he said that
Jackson mistook Sally Kemper for her.

A METEoWs CARROM SHOT.
II struck the Earth in China and
Ricochctted Into space.

Cochin China officials have poptical
way Of describing astronomical phenomena.
A short time ago the French authorities
were 'omewhat puzzled by the receipt from
the native head Of u district Of report TO the
eject that bird had descended from the
heavens, and after leaving marvclous
print on the ground had winged It's flight
upward. Instead, however, 0f treating this
curious communication with neglect, If not
contempt, the French lost no time in insti.
tuting an inquiry into the matter.
Capt. Dealnay was dispatched 10 the spot,
1Gn-Buq, where according 10 the London
TeleJraM the strange spectacle had been
witnessed. He found thai truly enough the
earth had been bored TO the depth Of six
feet Following up this clew and ques-
toning the Villagers. learned and unlcarnel,
the gallant and scientific officer arrived
at the conclusion that ''thc celestial
hiid' was nothing more or less than me-
tCor'e. which, after striking the ground,
had actually ricochetted ut anangie Of about
ihiity-four degrees 10 u long distance
Little wonder, then, that the natives were
amazed N the sight, and were utterly AZ Il
loss to explain u phenomenon which they
regarded us miraculous.
