AN AMUSING MISTAKE.
Pitfsburg Gentlemen Fall Foul Of q New
York City Ordinance.

P1ffsourg Gentlemen Fall Foul OF New
York City Ordinance.
A singular experience in the metropolis
has befailen Rev. w. r. Mackay, rector OF
st. Peters P. E. Church, of this city, and
two companions, Mr.. Wesley Dermitr, or
ganist of st. Peters, and Mr.. Thomas j.
Garland, well-known young man OF this
city.
While peaceably propelling tricycles
through Harlem last Saturday, the above
named gentlemen forsook the rough roadbed
of the street for the more alluring asphaltum
sidewalk of st. AIMS avenue near Chester
avenue. and were going along under full
sail when Policeman Lockwood, one Of the
finest, espied the party.
The guardian of the law planted himself
in front of the trio of machines, called .
halt and placed the party and machines un-
der arrest for violating a city ordinance
against riding upon the sidewalk. Despite
their protestations, Mr.. Mackay and his
companions were obliged to appear forth
with at-the Morrisiana Police Court, where
they explained to the complete satisfaction
of the Court their entire ignorance of the
existence of the ordinance, and promised to
SSPoAs W hieLI "o| anu cuCrOdcu upon no
more metropolitan sidewalks They were
accordingly honorably discharged.
The telegram from New York last even
ing which gave the particulars of the con-
tretemps stated that the party was en- route
from Pittsburg to New London, Conn,
when rudely interrupted by outraged law in
the person of this New York bobby" The
incident, doubtless, added pleasant flavor
to the trip and topic of discussion in which
all could join to beguile the tedium of Com
necticut pumpkin patches.

YANKEE DOODLE DOC.
That's the Epithet That Caused
Saturday Nights Shooting.
KIDS FUNNY INCITEMENT TO GORE.
No Murder, Nor Yet the Probability of One,
After all.
A KEG OF BEER As A TOY Oh MISSILE

Henry Schoor, the resident of Millvale
who was shot by Charles Hildehoff late Sat
urday night, is not going to be murdered at
all, evidently, but Is expected to be around
in few days. The bullet did not enter the
groin, as at first supposed and stated, but
the upper part Of the leg, and Schoor does
not suffer from the wound. except a sore
ness. He was resting easily when seen by q
DISPATCH reporter yesterday afternoon.
The indirect cause of the shooting had at
least a pith of humor in it. After the two
men had returned home, the children of
both families bantered each other from the
two porches. Schoor's children called the
others father "Dutchy." 'Sauerkrout, F"
ETC., and Hildehoff's children retaliated by
calling Schoor yankee, Ya-Ya-YankeeP
Finally, they called him yankee Doodle, f"
and he stood that first rate until they
changed it to ''Yankee Doodle, Doo." This
was evidently more than he could stand,
and he started for Hildehof's back door.
According to Schoor's story, he went to
go in the door, and Mrs. Hildehof "came
at" him. He pushed her aside, when
Hildehoff shot. Mrs. Hildehoff then threw
a chair at him, and he went home and went
upstairs to the bed he now lies on.
The whole affair started over dispute
about beer. Schoor said Hildehof told his
wife that the brewery where the latter got
his beer gave him an eighth keg extra for
every 20 he used. When Schoor went
to the brewery he asked the same
terms, and they denied that they
gave Hildehoff the extra eighth. He
then went home and returned with Hide
hof. and the two had words. Hildehof got
an eighth keg of beer, and started home.
According to Schoor, Hildehof went up
the hillside on the plank road, and, as
Schoor was passing below, threw the keg of
beer at Schoor, but missed him.
Schoor says he had only drank six glasses
of beer, and was not intoxicated or did not
have a revolver about him when the shoot
ing occurred.
Hildehof was committed to Jail yesterday
by Justice of the Peace Young, of Mill
vale, on charges of felonious assault and
battery and feloniously shooting Schoor. He
was committed without bail, to await the
result of Schoor's injuries.

ing the nose of the Governor of the great
commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He says

a number of times for misbehavior. The
General was with General Custer all dur
ing the war and participated in all the
latter's engagements.

Real Estate and Money Waiting for q Claim
ant In Piftsburg.
The following advertisement appeared in
Sundays Cincinnati Enquirer:
If Theodore Trimble is living, and comes to
Pittsburg, he will have some real estate and
money.
A DISPATCH reporter endeavored to find
some, explanation of the mysterious adver-
tisement and visited T. L. Trimble, of ALLIE
gheny, but he knew of no Theodore
Trimble. Several others of the
name were seen, but failed to
give any light on the advertisement. John
81. Trimble, distant relative OF Ben Trim
BILE, of the old Variety Theater, said that it
was possible that a search was being made
for some of the heirs of Ben Trimble. Some
time ago there was considerable litigation
in regard to the disposition of the estate by
some of the heirs, and it may be possible
that the administrator or guardians of some
of the relatives of Ben Trinble are now
looking for a claimant to some part OF the
estate.
