RECKLESS SHOOTING.
A Man Crazed with Whisky Shoots HIS
Sister-in- law.

Man CraZed with Whisky Shoots HIS
Sister-in-law.
Those who live in the vicinity of the
alley, K and i, Eighth and Ninth streets,
were startled about 6 P. NJ. Saturday at three
reports of a pistol fred in rapid succession,
which were Immediately followed by the
screams of a woman. A number of citi-
zens Immediately proceeded to investigate
and found Mrs. Grif1 Griffith badly
by her brother in law, Tom Griffith. 1t
is the same old story of too much whisky.
The Griffith brothers, Tom and Griff, are
employees at the rolling mills, and work on
the night shift. The pay-car had made
them happy, and they filled up with sour
beer and bad whisky, in company with a
couple of their companions. They arrived
at the Griff Griffith residence about half
past 5. and were all exceedingly Jolly. Mrs
Shaw, who lives in the same alley, and who
is sister to the Griffiths, seeing that her
brother Tom was in
VERY MUCH DEMoRALIzED STATE
Went over TO the Griffith residence to try
to persuade him to 90 home with her.
Tom declined the invitation and Griff. Grif-
nth, offended at his sisters interference,
abused her and it is said attempted to
choke her. This angered Tom and the
brothers had a rough and-tumbl fight, re-
sulting in Toms being severely beaten.
After the fight Tom went to his brother-ln-
laws house a half-block distant and got
the latter's pistol. When Mrs. Griffith saw
him returning, not wishing to see hostili-
ties renewed between the brothers, she
locked the door. When Tom saw he was
locked out he pulled his pistol and fired
three shots through the door one of which
struck Mrs. Griffith in the right side di-
rectly in line with the umbillicus. The
woman put her hand upon her side ex-
claiming, I'm shot, She experienced
but little pain and the wound did not
bleed.
THE BULLET.
Was a small one and was somewhat spent,
having passed through an inch of lumber
and met with resistance on one of the steel
stays Of her corset. The surgeons who were
called IN would notprobe the wound; such
action tAey regarded as being exceedingly
dangerous, and were of the opinion that
the wound was fatal one, finding the
bullet had penetrated the cavity. About
o clock last night the attending physician
stated that the patient had scarcely any
fever, was suffering but little pain and he
was quite hopeful of her recovery. The
shooter was arrested in less than five min
utes after the shooting by Deputy Sheriff
Sbellars, and taken to the County Jail and
locked up. After the shooting, Griff Crit
fifth, the husband of the wounded woman,
went out on the porch and found the pistol.
He recognized it as belonging TO his broth
erin law, Shaw, and Immediately accused
the latter of having fired the shot He
picked up the pistol and started out to find
Shaw and no doubt would have shot the
latter upon sight had he not been arrested.
Yesterday Griff Griffith was released on
his own recognizance, and is taking care of
his wife. The wounded woman is about
% years of age and has two bright little
children

circular to the Glen Rock (Pa.) Machine

the following, signed by the Glen Rock Ma

money for the various purposes you name
under the mantle of protection to home indus
tries. We desire TO advise you that we are in
favor Of the Mills bill heart and soul, believ-
ing as we do that it stands for the best inter
est of the manufacturers and laborers as we'll.
We regard your Step into my parlor, said

false pretenses with amazement. We agree
with you entirely that there is great danger
that Grover Cleveland will be re.elected
President Of the United States, and pray a

desirable end. The country was in this dan

his wife, Mary Shorb, who has lately been

False Reasoning Exposed

From the Farm, Stock and Home.
In science and philosophy we reason from cause
to effect but certain school of modern politicians
reason from effect to cause, namely:
Effect" a quarter OF century of marvellous
growth and development Cause" tho tariff be-
cause it is true beyond question that the marvellous
growth and the development and the tariff are CO.
existent.
Effect" the cheapest steel and iron the world ever
knew steel is being manufactured cheaper than iron
ever was Cause" the tariff. because the cheap
iron and steel and the tariff are coexistent.
Effect" more miles Of railroad building In the
last twenty-five years than in all previous history.
Cause" the tariff because the excessive building
Of railroads and the tariff were coexistent
Effect" ten-story buildings, Cause" the tariff,
because under low tariff ten-story buildings were
unknown.
Effect slos. Cause, very high tariff, for we
never had silos under any other than very high
tariff.
Effect" twenty-five pounds of butter from sin
gle COW IN one week. Cause" the tariff. because
we never got 50 much butter from single COW in
the time named until after the adoption OF our pres
ent tariff SYSTEM
But we might go on adj infaitpn. This style Of
reasoning is now very fashionable. and VIII become
a veritable rage during the late summer and early
fall Many Will catch 1t, but In most instances the
attacks win be harmless Those who take It hard
VIII be ashamed of il affer election. We want to
warn our readers against such reasoning as we warn
them against all other frauds.

A Correction.

Our Patapsco correspondent writes In
last weeks issue we find published the death
of Mrs. William Uhler, of Patapsco, which is
an error, as it was not Mrs. William Uhler
but Mrs. Sarah Uhler, wife of the late. John
Uhler, who lived near Patapsco. Mrs. Sarah
Uhler was in her 93d year. She was sister
to the late Nicholas Kelley, who was the first
Sheriff of Carroll county, and through her
long life she had always been held in high
esteem by all who knew her for her kind,
genial and warmhearted disposition and her
motherly love and affection. She was the
mother of ten children, nine of whom survive
her. She and her husband lived many long
years devotedly and happily together, he
having died only few years since at the ad-
vanced age of nearly "a years. He was one
of the Old Defenders in the war of 1872, yet
there tpas time when tottering under the
inGrmities of age to the polls to cast his bal.
lot we have seen him driven away and denied
the privilege to exercise freeman's right
that was so dear to him, and for which be bad
fought to maintain, simply because he be-
lieved in the principles of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy.
