Edward Garrett Fires Two Shots at n
Gang of Negroes.
Edward Garrett, colored, fired two
shots into cabin on the Norfolk and
Western tracks, near the Machine
Works, last night, in which crowd OF
the section hands were stopping. One
of the balls struck the stove, and,
glancing off, struck one of the men on
the finger, making slight wound. The
other shot failed to do any damage.
Garrett formerly work ed on the sec
ton, but was discharged by Foreman
Wright last week. He has been loung-
ing around town ever since, and yester-
day he made threats that he would kill
some of the hands, whom he accused of
causing his discharge.
Some of the negroes who slept in the
cars were holding prayer-meeting and
ali joined in the services. One of them
was offering prayer when the shots
were fired. Immediately the car was
in confusion and Garrett ran off. The
matter was reported to Policeman Flick,
on Railroad avenue, and the officers are
now looking for him.

From the Kansas City Star ]

DR.. Hirsch of Chicago, gives the
best explanation of the derivation
of the word "Scheeney, lover which
there is so much excitement. He
says: cit seems to me that the
editors owe it to themselves to
correct this definition. If l am not
mistaken the word originated with
Thackeray, who used it in connec-
ton with the large amount of snowy
jewellery worn by the Jews of Petit
coat lane, London. His use of the
word has no such significance as is
given it in the Century Dictionary
definition. " Evidently it comes
from the word "sheeny, {. described

in Webster as bright, shining, and,
therefore, particularly appropriate
to the bejeweled gentleman speci-
fed by Mr.. Thackeray. That the
word now has more offensive sig
nifcance can not be denied, though,
perhaps, not more so than the term
Yankee" as applied to an Ameri-
can or "Dutchman" to a German.
After all, these terms are merely a
question of personal sensitiveness,
often magnfed by malice and in
tensified by distrust.

Increase of Coal Consumption.

A peculiar case of increase in coal con-

stfcial engineer, having been called to
investigate the cause of considerable
augmentation of the consumption of fuel
by large battery of boilers, discovered
that the phenomenon was due to the
presence of water in the smoke shaft.
The measures which were taken to ex-
clude the water have resulted in a saw
