will be manufactured at several different
works. Mccormick is to be president ;
Wood, vice-president, and Deering,
chairman of the Board of Directors.

NEW YORK, November l9.-John t.
Davis last night shot Miss Gladys Price,
organist of the Mariners church, as she
was leaving the church after service.
Price was arrested and proved to be a
dangerous crank if not an absolute luna
tic. He asserted that Miss Price was
his wife. that she was being pursued by
Grover Cleveland, and that he intended
to kill Cleveland. Miss Price had never
spoken to Davis in her life and knew
nothing of him except that he sometimes
attended the Mariners church.
To-day Davis was arraigned in court
and renanded to await the result Of Miss
Prices injuries. He rambled in his talk
and repeated his statement that it was
his intention to have shot ex-President
Cleveland. Miss Price will probably re-
cover, although she was shot through
the body.

TO MAKE ROOM.

It is rumored on the streets here that
a number of Alexandria and Virginia
Democrats will be among those dis
charged from the Washington ordnance
works at the next payday to make room
for black and white Republicans. At
the last discharge three Alexandrians
were among the unlucky ones who re-
ceived their walking-papers. The rea-
son given for their discharge was lack
of work, but it is said that their places
were at once flied by Republicans
