A CHILD SHOOTER FINED.
Only the Intercession of Its Parent
Saved Him from State Prison.

Charles Pfeiffer, of North Bergen, who,
while practicing with rifle at target,
accidentally shot and killed Isabella
Wehnke, an infant, on May 8, was SEN
fenced in the Sessions Court this morn
ing. A few days ago, when arraigned, he
pleaded non vult to the Indictment.
Judge Lippincott, in passing sentence,
said he was amazed to think that any one
would attempt to shoot rifle at a mark
in this county unless it was on the Hack
ensack Meadows.
'The child who suffered from your care
lessness," said the Court, twas nearly
three-fourths of mile away from where
you were shooting, which shows how
careful you ought to have been. The
only thing that has saved
you from State prison is the
intercession in your behalf by the parent
of the child, who desired the Court to be
as lenient as possible If you must shoot
in the future you had better join the
army"
The Court then imdosed $3.50 fine and
costs on Pfeiffer.

Eugene Stevenson, of Paterson, at one
time Prosecutor of the Pleas of Passaic
county, in the name of Joseph Mason and
others, has filed bill in Chancery against
the Supreme Chamber of the order to
have the affairs of the concern wound up,
on the ground that it is fraudulent and
insolvent corporation
The bill charges that the promoters con-
cocted a scheme and fixed the constitu-
tions and bylaws so as to remain in abso-
lutte control of the affairs for long term,
and also that they perpetrated a
fraud by representing that the
ASSOCIATION had received the sanction
and endorsement of the State authorities.
The bill asks that receiver be appointed,
and that the promoters be compelled to
return to the members all the money paid
in by them.
Mr.. Stevenson intimated that some of
the promoters of the scheme were liable
to Indictment for conspiracy to defraud.

THE SC0LD SCOLDED.
Judge LippincOtt Does 1t and Then
Fines Her $25 and Costs.

Mrs. Mary Brady, the common scold,
was sentenc ed by Judge Lippincott this
morning. Long before the Judge took
his seat OH the bench crowd of curiosity
seekers were eagerly asking each other
what sentence Mary Brady will get?"
None, of course, but the Judge could
answer this conundrum.
MARY Brady" Judge LippiDcott called,
when the usual sentence day conference
had concluded.
Here, SIR" came faint answer, and
its owner, clad in deeper mourning than
usual, slowly walked within the bar to
receive the sentence. Whether it was to
be the ancient and dreaded ducking stool,
or a fine, or Imprisonment, all wondered.
1t was known that Sheriff Davis had
early in the morning made a careful sur
vey of the basin of the beautiful fountain
in the Court House grounds and also OF
Colonel Michael Browns aquarium. Cos
sips at once declared that the loduacious
Mary would receive bath in one of these
receptacles, and the seats on the Colonel g
veranda were all occupied by people ready
for the sport to begin, If such should be
the decision of the Court
Mary Brady" said the Court, from
indications that was observed during your
trial it was apparent thot you had talked
too much. There are quite number OF
other local1tleS IN this county Wnere
women talk too much, and scolds are
plentiful, but tnat does not excuse you. !"
The Judge then in unmistakeable terms
declared the horror people, especially
men, have of scolding women, and after
giving her short lecture, concluded his
remarks by saying:-"In the future you
had better keep a civil tongue, and be
sure you mind your own business.
THE sentence of the Court is that you
pay fine of $25 and the costs of Court,
and stand committed until the fine and
costs are paid"
Mrs. Brady bowed her head in acknowl-
ment and returned to her seat. She paid
her fine and went home half an hour
later

Calling Man Thief and Beating Him
for Resenting 1t.
There was a lively set-to Saturday
night between Miles McCafferty, propri
etor of the Blue Front Livery Stable on
Henderson street, and Robert D. Urque-
hart, who recently left McCafferty's en-
ploy and established an opposition stable
at No. 407 Henderson street about block
away.
Urquehart had been in McCafferty's
employ for two years. Since he set him
self up in opposition to McCafferty the
latter has been prolific in opprobious
head of Urquehart-behind his back.
Among other things, Cafferty had
called Urquehart 'loafer, hummer and
thief. Urquehart took umbrage at the
latter epithet especially. On Saturday
night Urquehart went into a saloon in
that vicinity to get a check cashed, and
met McCafferty, who was indulging
rather freely in his favorite beverage.
AS soon as McCafferty espied him he
Immediately opened upon him. Urque-
hart replied that he had many friends in
various secret societies, and if he was q
thief Mr. McCafferty should prove it
when he made such an assertion.
McCafferty got mad because Uurquhart
took the matter so cody, and rushed
upon him. He struck him with his fist,
knocked him up against the bar, and,
following him up, gave him another blow
that knocked him out in the first round.
Urquehart Swore out warrant for his
aSsailant'S arrest on charge of assault,
and Justice Weed issued a warrant. Nc
Cafferty has not yet been arrested.
