ST. LOUIS, No.. Jan. IA serious
shooting atfray occurred near the little
town of Bridgeton, thirteen miles out of
the city on the Wabash railroad yester-
day, caused by reports involving the
name of Miss Christina Amelung, a
young lady of nineteen, daughter of
William Amelung, a farmer. Mr..
Amelung had had a colored man,
Taylor Pointer, in his employ,
and, as the story goes, Pointer had been
boasting among his friends that he had
sustained very intimate relations with
Miss Amelung. This report was first
heard three weeks ago, and the Anne
lung boys, John, William, Edward and
Frank, have ever since determined
to punish Pointer for telling such
stories. They called to their assist
ance their brother-in-law, Otto Christ,
and Herman and Luke AsmuS, and
Yesterday they started out to find the
offending Pointer. A call was made at
the house of Mr.. CreedhaIl, but Pointer
had gone with Elder K. Hunt to the
house of Ralph Bivins to visit Miss
Amanda Biyins, who had been confined
tn her bed for four months with dropSy.
There he was found. BivinS answered
the knock at the door. He was told that
they had come to arrest Pointer. Biyius
begged them not to
MAKE A DISTURBANCE
as his daughter was sick. Hunt asked
them if they had warrant. Just then
Herman AsmuS rushed by him into the
house with a revolver in his hand, and
Ieveling it at Pointer said that was war
rant enough for him. Mrs. Biyins seized
shotgun, when Otto AsInus rushed in
and attempted to take it from her.
BivinS came to her assistance. and a
terrible struggle enSued, during which
two of the AmelungS seized Pointer,
who defended himself desperately. He
was struck over the head with 4 revol-
Yer and knocked down with a chair,
when he grabbed fiatirOn with which
he struck Herman ASmuS on the head.
The men then ran out and began firing
through the doors. Mrs. Bivins. who
had run into the kitchen, screamed and
Pointer, picking up the shotgun, ran
to her assistance. Otto ASmuS
was in the doorway, revolver
in hand, when Pointer fired
full in his face. He fell back and was
carried away by his friends. Pointer
escaped to Bridgeton, where he gave
himself up, as it was feared he would
again be tackled. The wounded man
received the full charge of the gun,
loaded with No. shot, in the face, both
eyes being shot out.

The Engineer of the Burned
Steamer Sacrobosco shows Up.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 14.-Chief Engineer
Kerins, of the steamer Sacrobosco, re-
ported at the Office of the Furness line
alive aud well this afternoon. He was
thought to be dead. His escape was
most remarkable. When the fire broke
out on the vessel last night he rushed
from place to place seeking to escape.
Everywhere his progress was barred by
the flames, which chased him at every
step. and finally, to escape being burned
for the time being, he took refuge in a
shaft tunnel where there was a draft of
air. He soon lost consciousness in t lis
refuge, and knew nothing more until
this afternoon, when he awOke and
managed to get ashore from the still
burning ship, which was beached on
the river bank.
The bodies of John White, fireman.
and Charles johnson, a seaman, of the
steamship SacrObosco. were found this
evening in the hull of the burned yes
sci. They had been suffocated to death,
but were not disfigured much by fire.

PECULIAR FiNANCIERING.
Three Millions Paid Out by Off
Gals without Authority,


CLEVELAND. O., Ian. IA morn
ing paper publishes statement sub
mitted by an expert bcokkeeper, show
ing irregularities in the old accounts of
the city of Cleveland, aggregating
about SS,0OO,0O0. Nearly all of this
money was paid out by the city
W thout the approval of the council,
although, the laws of the state
of Ohio distinctly require that
every claim be included in the regular
claims ordinance. The publication
creates a great sensation. Nearly a
year ago the city council authorized the
board of revision to examine the books
relating to the city's financial history.
1t was necessary in the prosecution of
the work to look over the books in the.
city treasurer's office. and the dis
closures made were startling in the eX-
IRENE. These were hinted at in the
reports OF the experts tn the board of
reYlslon. When the latter made their
report To the board Of councilmen, how
ever. slight if any reference was made
to them. The experts signed the report
TO the board of cOuncilmen under pro-
test and only after it had represented
to them that these Irregularities had
been investigated before. Last night
LtiiiOCChs Vic JUc cAUc1tS.
sent the council a communication ask
ing that his name be stricken
from the record, saying that he had
been induced to sign the same under
false representations. that the former
InVeS 1gatiOn was not complete, that
glarIng irregularities had occurred and
that if given access to the books again,
he would make full exposure free of
cost to the city. Mr.. Leirbeck's COM
munication was referred back to him,
with the insinuation attached to il that
the matter had peter be allowed to rest.
After the council adjourned. Lembeck
gave the press complete statement of
the irregularities occurring during the
period named. 1t showed that S3.0O0,000
had been paid out without the approval
OF the council, and in most peculiar
manner. The enteries upon the
books were all made in
misleading and uncertain way
The most startling feature in the re-
port. however, is table showing that
Sl.u00,000 or S2,000,0GO were paid out.
and asserted to have been paid out
without any entry in any book to show
TO whom the money was paid or for what
purpose. A public meeting will pro-
badly bc called to take action if the
council ignores tine startling disclosures
contained in the report.

White Lead IniuriOus.

1t is said that painting floors with any
color containing white lead is injurious
as it renders the wood soft and less ca
pable of wear. Other paints without
white lead, suck as ochre, raw lumber or
sienna, are not injurious and can be used
with advantage. Varnish made of dry
ing lead salts is also said to be destruct-
i've, and it is recommended that the bo-
rate of manganese should be used to dis
pose the varnish to dry. A receipt for a
good floor varnish is as follows: Take
two pounds of pure white borate of man
ganese, finely powdered, and add it little
by little to saucepan containing ten
pounds of inseed oil, which is to be well
stirred and raised to temperature of
800 dogs. Fahrenheit. Heat 100 pounds
of Gnseed oil in a boiler till ebullition
takes place, then add to it the first
liquid, increase the heat and allow it to
boil for twenty minutes. Then remove
from the fire and filter the solution
through cotton cloth. The varnish is
then ready for use. two coats of which
may be used with final coat of shellac,
if brilliant polish is required. -Phila-
