HARMLESS SHOOTING.
Ratistta PaScra Tries to Shoot
His Wife.


Last night about nine o'clock, shooting
scrape took place on the east corner OF
Ducommun and Lazard streets. A man
named Batistta Pasera, an Italian, at
tempted to shoot his wife and afterwards
Emile Callivar, Frenchman. 1t appears
that Mrs. Pasera was married to Batistta
Pasera about tw o years ago, and ever since
has been ill-treated by her husband. Lately
she has been afraid Of her husband and has
gone to Mrs. Ca]livar's house for protection,
Last night Mrs. Callivar, Mrs. Pasera
and Mr.. Callivar were. talk ing together
on the corner of Ducommun1treet, when
Mrs. Pasera's husband, Batisfta approached.
His wife exclaimed, "Oh here he comes"
and at once ran away. Pasera drew re-
volver, and pointing it at his fleeing wife,
pulled the trigger twice but the cartridge
hung fire; he thereupon turned upon Cell
livar and seized him by the throat, at the
same time firing his pistol, but luckily the
ball passed over Callivar's head. The
two men fell to the ground and
struggled TO: some time Mrs Callivar seized
the uplifted revolver, and after Il struggle
succeeded in taking it from the would-be
murderer. Just at this juncture Officer
Walsh rushed up and seized the strug-
Cling men, and was about to bring them to
the police station when Officers Mckenzie,
Purvis and Hawley came to his assistance.
Emile Callivar's employer deposited $50
for his appearance before Ju ,tice Austin to-
day. 1t is supposed that jealousy was the
cause of the shooting.

Prince Bismarck to introduce at the
next session bill for the erection OF
a monument to the late Emperor Will

perial dignity and its rights and du-
ties; thanks his majesty for his re-
assurances and expresses sorrow for
the loss Of the great ruler to whom
Germany owes her reconstruction and
unity, whose life was devoted to
strengthening Germany's influence
and position, who was guardian of the
peace and whose efforts were aimed
to promoting the welfare Of all classes.
In conclusion, the Reichstag assures
Emperor Frederick of it's answering
fidelity, in order to accomplish all the
tasks Emperor William marked out
and bequeathed to Germany as leg
acy. The address was adopted with
out debate.

VIENNA, March 20.-The Tremben-
blatt and Press describe the comments
of the Russian Chauvinist press on
Emperor Frederick's proclamation as
highly colored. These journals, they
say, imagine that there exists a deep
dissidence between Emperor Fred
erick and Prince Bismarck, and that
a dissolution of the Austro-German
alliance is eminent, and they treat
the recent dispatches from Chancellor
as private and unimportant. Cor
respondence of Russian journals say
the Vienna papers must have some
interest to encourage themselves with
this native self-deception, whereof
events will soon show the futility.

President Cleveland's appointment of Mr.
Melville w. Fuller of Chicago to be Chief
Justice of the United States was announced
on Monday. Although not IA man known to
the country at large, Mr.. Fuller is one of
the foremost lawyers of the western bar,
and for twenty years past has probably had
u larger practice before the United States
Supreme Court than any other lawyer from
his section. Like most of the leading law
yers of the west, he is of eastern birth He
was born in Augusta, Me, in 1888. He
graduated at Bowdon in 1853, studied law
at Bangor and Cambridge, and began the
practice of his profession in Augusta in
1856. In 1853 he went to Chicago. He
was a member of the Illinois state constitu
tional convention in 1861, and in 1862 wa,
chosen to the legislature. He was a dele
gate to the Democratic national conven
tons of 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880 In 1856
he was selected to deliver the address OF
welcome to Stephen A. Douglas He is 9
man of excellent private character, and hi'
selection is generally commended as prop
er and satisfactory one by both Republicans
and Democrats
1t seems to be the general opinion thai
two weeks ago the President had decided
in his own mind ON the appointment of Mr.
Phelps to be Chief Justice, but the part,
pressure was all against it the Irish Dem
ocrats especially raised a protest. Mr.
Cleveland had no idea of rsking an alena
ton of their votes, and so he event West.
