A Leap-Year Romance.
From the Amsonia (Comn.) Sentinel

From the Ansonin Comm Sentinel
An Ansonia lawyer was sitting on the
steps of the Central house in Newtown,
Wednesday. when pretty young lady
passed out of the hotel and up the street.
There goes a remarkably pretty girl ex-
claimed a gentleman conversing with him,
land there's quite a little romance con-
nected with her, too" The legal gentleman
was all attention at once as his friend con-
tinued: "She belongs down in Baltimore.
and her father is wealthy liquor distiller
of that city. She's got a cool 5000, 900 in
her own right, and a decisiveness
about her that means business.
She located at the George hotel,
Black Rock, this summer, coming
there all alone. A young man sitting at
her table attracted her attention. She
spoke to him one evening after he had
met her but three times, and she broke
him all up by asking him il he was married.
He replied that be was too poorly situated
for marriage just then; he hadn't much
money, and had to support his father.
Well, I've plenty of money! she said; why
don't you marry lneF She returned to her
home in Baltimore, told her father about
the circumstances. got his consent and re-
turned to Black Rock with her father, was
married in Bridgeport, and she and her
husband are passing the remainder of the
summer in Newton as happy as turtle
doves" The lawyer has been thinking ever
since what chances there are for young men
In this country.

lectures as to the result. Moore was

immoral character. At 10 O'clock at night
ore Of the sherifrs deputies received a tele-

Wonderful Shooting by DR.. Carver.
From the Pittsbur0 DisDatch.

DR.. w. F. Carver yesterday performed
the most remarkable feat in shooting at Ex-
position park ever witnessed. Dr. Carver
had made a bet of 800 with Adam Fore
paugh, Jr., that he would break six glass
balls thrown into the air simultaneously
before they fell to the ground. The shoot
ing was done with Spencer repeating rifle
in the presence of few invited guests. DR..
Carver had not the slightest trouble in per-
forming the feat, repeating it four times in
succession. The doctor was not satisfied
with this, but threw up seven balls at
once, all of which he perforated before they
fell to the ground

A Mysterious Shooting Affair in Which

A Mysterious Shooting Affair in Which
Woman is Concerned.
COLUMBUS, GA, Oct. 10.-There Is a
probability that a sensation will be I'M
earthed in a camp ON the Columbus South
ern railroad, located five miles from this
city. To-day DR.. Griggs of this city was
called to attend woman in the camp who
had been shot in the groin ON Monday
night, but it seems an effort had been made
to keep the matter quiet. The wound was
found to be dangerous one, and the doctor
believes that it will prove fatal The
woman claimed that she accidentally shot
herself, but the nature of the wound and
the direction which the ball took causes the
suspicion that the shooting was done by
some one else.
HER HUSBAND SUSPECTED.
Her husband, Sam Ellison. is suspected,
but there is at present no evidence to cause
his arrest The strange part of the affair is,
that the woman will not give any informa-
ton on the subject, but stoutly insists that
she shot herself.
Shelby Compton of this city, formerly of
Louisville, and Miss Julette Hudson were
married at the Episcopal church to-day.
Both are prominent in society. They left
for Washington, d. c., this afternoon on
bridal tour
There was another accident on the Co
lumbus and Western railroad to-day, but
this time nobody was hurt. One freight
car was wrecked and the train from At
lanta was delayed several hours.

to break up the Spring Hill colony. The
result was that his store was robt ed with
ruinous regularity aud set on fire several
times, and the indication that his personal
safety was in jeopardy was made so plain
that he gave up the contest, abandoned his
property, and left the village to the Spring
Killers. His departure was celebrated by a
party of Spring Killers taking n keg of
powder they had stolen from Olmsteds store
and throwing 1t in old Mang's forge. 1t
blew the roof off of the blac ksmith's shop
demolished the forge, and badly Injured a
number of the celebrators, but that did not
detract from the fun.
1.-THE Spring Killer has many queer ideas
as to what joke is A favorite one is to
knock a companion senseless with club.
This is perpetrated among them every day
and it is meant only for a joke. You can't
go among them without seeing two or three
of them done up in bandageS. They also
hugely enjoy shooting one another with
fine shot, and If some one of them can sue
coed in throwing copperhead snake-with
which the region abounds-on another
Spring Hitler or among group Of them the
height of humor is reached, especially if
the snake fastens his fangs in a cheek or on
an arm or anywhere else in the flesh and
lays the victim up for day or two.
"Old Mang's blacksmith shop is a great
source of amusement to the jocose Spring
Hitler, and as consequence Old Mang is
always in a more or l'ss mutilated or dis
figured condition. They have a way of mix
ing pound or two of powder in the Gin
ders Of his forge, so that when he starts up
his fire he is greeted with aR explosion that
usually sends him staggering and bleeding
from his shop. No matter how roughly one
of them may be treated by the rest, it is not
etiquette for him to complain or show tenn
per. II he does, he will lose caste at
once, and it might go hard with him.
| have occasion to go over among tue
Spring Killers once in while, and 1 always
miss some familiar face and form from
among them. II | ask where So-and-so is
the answer is that he has gone to such-and-
