attractions of a fine program, closing with the
Beethoven 'Eroica" symphony, is to be added
at this concert the playing of Vladimir de Pach-

Drink and an Old Muskct Send . Man to
Providence Hospital.

Providence Hospital.
Elisha Grayson, colored, is first officer on the
| schooner "Francis Miller" boat that carries
cord wood between Potomac creek and thil
city. There is a first and second mate on the
boat and an old musket, probably a relic Of the
revolutionary war, has been carried on the
craft to be used in case of an attack by pirates
or to kill any wild duck that might come within
range Of the schooner.
The Francis Miller was anchored at Bris-
GOES wharf yesterday when Charles Jackson, q
colored man about forty years old, went aboard
to see his two stepsons, who were mates on the
schooner.
Amos Warren, alias Henry Robinson. who
had been on the boat as the captains guest was
ashore somewhere to get drink.
Jackson had borrowed the captains small
boat and gone out in the river to another boat
to get job Of unloading, and when he returned
Amos was on the "Francis Miller"
Hello, you old - -" was how Amos
greeted his old friend. 81 am so glad to see
you that if I had pistol I'd blow your -
head off,
ut all goes in a lifetime"
Amos took the old man at his word, and be-
fore Capt. Grayson or any one else could inter-
fere he jumped down in the cabin and returned
with the musket. One pull Of the trigger and
Of the weapon sounded like the firing Of q
heavy gun at the arsenal
Amos had been told before hand that the
musket was loaded, but he paid no attention to
the captains warning, and when his friend
dropped as though dead he seemed surprised.
The musket had heavy load of duck shot in
it and had not been fred for many weeks.
The injured man was picked up and cared for
until the arrival Of the police ambulance, when
he was taken to Providence Hospital. Thirty
five shot were picked out Of his back soon after
he reached there, and there are probably more
than that many more still in his flesh.
Amos hardly realized that he had done any
thing wrong. and would have remained about
the wharf had not some of the men said that he
would get his neck stretched. Then he left
that part of the city and the police had not sue
ceeded in capturing him last night.
The wounded mans injuries are painful, but
it is not thought that he will die.

The Virginia Republican League.
WASHINGTON. DC, Feb

WASHINGTON. d., feD. IA, 1881.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
see in your issue Of this date a telegram
from Richmond, Va, which states that
am secretary of the Virginia Republican
League. The statement is erroneous. l was
the first president Of the state league, but re-
signed on coming to Washington, or soon after.
The telegram also offers to suggest that the
approaching convention of the league at Rich
mond will elect the republican state chairman.
but the league has no connection whatever with
the regular organization of the party, through
which alone a state chairman can be chosen.
Respectfully, W. C. ELAN.

SHOT IN THE HEAD.
But the Bullet Only Made . Scalp Wound
The Shooter Arrested.

George Richardson shot John Pinkney last
night in q house in Limerick alley in South
Washington. The trouble grew out Of the fact
that both were attached to the same woman.
All the parties are colored. Richardson aimed
for Pinkney's head, but the bullet. instead of
perforating the skull, remained under the scalp
and inflicted an injury that will keep Pinkney
in the Freedman's Hospital, where he was taken,
for several days.
Richardson, who has peg leg, attempted to
escape, but was subsequently arrested near his
home in East Washington by Policeman Ciscle,
who had climbeda tree, and when his man came
stumping along dropped to the ground and Be-
cured him.
Policeman Williams Of the fourth precinct
subsequently took charge Of the prisoner and
today he was before Judge Miller on a charge
of deadly assault. As Pinkney was unable to
appear the case had to be postponed.
