ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
A Deputy Sheriff Shot by Police Office


San Francisco. August 3d-James Cor
ccran, Deputy Sheriff and a member of tie
Iron Molders Union, was shot and danger
ously wounded this afternoon by police
men. Corcoran is an iron molder by trade
but stopped work at it when appointed
Deputy Sheriff. He remained an active
member of the union, however.
This afternoon he went to First and
Howard streets. where the Risdon Iron
Works are located, and commenced firing
at the windows. Several police officers at
tempted to arrest him and he took to flight.
Officer Carr and special officer followed
him while officer Riley ran around the
block to intercept him. Finding himself
nearly overtaken, Corcoran turned and fired
two shots at Carr, who returned the fire,
wounding him in the side.
moment after Riley met him face to
face at the corner and Corcoran fired at him, i,
barely missing him. Riley returned the
fire. inflicting a dangerous wound in the
left shoulder. Riley then grappled with
him and threw him down.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital
and the wounds dressed. In the melee a
bystander named Horan also received a
slight wound.
Late in the evening William s. Fitzger-
aid, member of local detective agency,
fired two shots at the windows of the Ris
don Works. He was arrested and charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
1t appears that Horan, seeing officer
Riley struggling with Cercoran, went to
Rileys assistance. The latter thought he
meant to help Corcoran, and fired at
him. The ball struck small medal worn
on string around his neck and glanced
off. inficting flesh wound.
LATER-It now seems that Fitzgerald did
not shoot. Some one had placed two
small torpedoes on the sueet-car track
When they exploded, officer Tobin ran to
the spot, and, finding Fitzgerald there with
a pistol, arrested him for firing.

EEGLIsH WOMEN's C0RNs.
They Have No Larger Feet than Amer
lean Women, but Suffer More.

There is only one lady chiropodist In
London, and there are very few in New
York, Miss Mary Libby, bright little
American woman. has settled as aschiropo-
dist in Regent street She has well ap-
pointed rooms and an aristocratic practice,
says the Pail Mall Budget Miss Libby
is of the opinion that English women in
proportion to their superior height
have no larger feet than American wo-
men.
"They have vastly more corns though"
she said. This, she thinks, is partly due
to the fact that English women do SC
much walking. American women are bad
walkers. There is no need for them to
learn self-reliance in tt is respect-locomo.
tion is so cheap and easy in their own
country. OF course, tight, ill-fitting shoes
are in most cases the reasons for corns
The fashionable pointed shoes have made
ingrowipg nails common. The largest
number of corns the chiropodist has vel
discovered on woman's foot in London is
| six.
Miss Libby is also skillful manicure
She has invented remedy to prevent
bad-tempered people from biting theil
nails. By the way, manicuring seems tC
pay better than chiropody. Three shilling:
is charged for doctoring foot and re
moving an unlimited number of corns
Manicuring is usually two shilling,
more. London is simply overrun with
manlcures. Every hairdresser and univer
| sal provider employs one.

No Evidence to the Contrary.

A young Catholic priest, shortly after
beginning his labors in his first parish,
received visit from one of the older
fathers. Anxious to show the progress he
had made, he called up class in catechism
for questioning.
"Biddy Maloney," he began, "stand up''
A slip of girl, with blue eyes and
brown freckles, arose in her place.
''What, Biddy," said the young father,
sis meant by the howly state of matri-
'monyw
"Shure," began Biddy, glibly, "'tis a
sayson of tormint upon which the soul
inters to fit it for the blissid state to come"
"Och p cried the questioner, angry and
mortified ito the foot of the class wild ye,
Biddy Maloney. It's the m'aning of pur-
gatory ye're afther givin'."
But here the old priest interposed, with
quizzical smile. "Not too fast, me young
brother" he said, restrainingly y-"not too
fast. For aught you and l know to the
contrary the gurrul may be perfectly
right" Harpe5's Magazine.

WHITE GAPS.
A Lawlsss Band who are Destroying
Property in New Mexico.


Property in New Mexico.
DENVER, August 3d.-A special from
Santa Fe to the Ne,os says: The White
Caps organization near Las Vegas, N. NJ,
whose outrages were recently called to the
attention of the Secretary of the Interior,
have become so bold in their depredations
that Governor Prince has been compelled
to issue proclamation calling upon them
to disband, and declares that if they do not
do so he will order out the Territorial mi
litia, and if necessary call upon the United
States troops.
This band of regulators style themselves
knights of Labor" and have organized
lodges throughout the San Miguel country,
until they now have membership of l 500.
They have without any legal cause de-
stroyed hundreds of miles of fences, turned
herds of cattle loose, burned thousands of
tons of hay aud destroyed other property,
while several men who have opposed them
have been seriously wounded by some un-
seen assassin, or have mysteriously disap-
peared.
Another unfortunate discovery for the
country is that for years there has been a
factional fight in the Republican party, and
it is now alleged that one faction is in
sympathy with these outlaws, and that the
organization, unless soon broken up, will
be used as political machine.
