PLEA OF ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
W. A. Stevens, of Cincinnati, Tells How He
Shot James Woods.

W. A Stevens, of Cincinnati, Tells How He
Shot James Woods.
CINCINNATI, March 16.-This afternoon
a sensation was caused by the appearance Of
Will A. Stevens, of the well-known dry
goods firm of Weatherby, Stevens & Co.,
at the office of the Superintendent of Police,
accompanied by his attorney. Judge NJ. F.
Wilson, where he made the voluntary state
ment that he fred the shot which killed
James Woods. By the advice of his at
torney he refused to say anything further
that the shooting was accidental.
1t is said that there has been an effort to
cover up the facts, but that it has been dis
covered that Stevens has been in the habit
of visiting u certain place with a Mrs. Arm
strong. a niece of Woods; that they were
there last night near midnight and Stevens,
in the presence of Woods, was showing
new self.cocking pistol. Suddenly there
was a report and Woods soon afterward
exclaimed, "I am shot" He refused to tell
who shot him. Stevens and the woman
drove into the city, and until he voluntarily
made his statement to the Superintendent Of
Police it was not known who fred the fatal
shot. There. is nothing known of the rela-
tions of the two men TO justify the suspicion
that the tragedy had any other cause than
accident,

FIGHTING THE CHARTER.
THE CINCINNATI MEN EXPERIENCE A
CHANGE OF HEART.
They Now Want the City Run Under the
Old Board, Recently Restored-Trouble
Ahead for Special Legislation-A Con-
ference on the Rawlings Bill.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

81
COLUMBUS, March 16.-This promises to
be the lIveliest week of the Legislative
session. Work was resumed at P. NJ. to-
day In both branches, and the House is in
session tonight. The Cincinnati delega-
ton left for home Friday all in favor of the
passage of the charter bill for that city.
They have returned with different story.
They say the people want to continue un-
der the restored Board of Public Works,
and the indications are they will endeavor
to kill the new chaite bill. A strong lobby
of the politicians against it is promised for
tomorrow.
Since the Supreme Court decision last
week, which restored the old board that
Governor Campbell deposed, the enemies of
the Governor have conceived the idea that it
would be good thing to have the board
continue, appropriate the offices at o nee,
and take the chances of re-electing Presi-
dent Reemelin, of the board, whose term
expires this spring. Notwithstanding this
move, it is believed the Governor can force
the new charter bill through, if he SO de-
sres, but it is not believed he will
do so. 1t is doubtful if the RepuR
lcans of the Legislature will take
III PioSSSuinSS 90 q
party, but will endeavor to profit by the in
ternal war which promises to break out
anew between Campbell and the Cincinnati
politicians. Reemelin has been clamoring
for yindication, and Campbell has said the
proper place !or him to get it is to go before
the people. The Legislative Committee in
vestigating the alleged corruption on the
part of 'the ReemeIIn Board at Cincin-
natl will likely report this week, which will
have much to do with further proceedings.
Inside information is that the committee
will report censuring Reemelin. and saying
the Governor had good cause Tor removal
before the special session.
There is trouble ahead for all the legisla-
tion in the interest of the large cities. The
information comes from Cleveland that the
bill recognizing that city on the board plan
will be brought into the Supreme Court in
the next day or two on the same grounds as
the Cincinnati law was declared unconsti-
tutional.
The Rawlings bill for the equalization OF
taxation is not meeting with success in the
House, and a committee of conference has
been asked for. The House objects to the
Senate amendment, which exempts from
taxation all finished goods held by manu-
facturers between January and April l.

Cleveland during the latter part of last
December, and he had some particular busi-
ness with ex. Congressman Martin A. Foran.
"OMalley came to me-" said Mr. Foran. land
asked if 1 did not remember his arrest and
trial, when I was Police Prosecutor, on a
chargeo stealing iron, and his being sent to

asked him to let me have transcript from his
records regarding the case. He did SO, and
this showed that OMalley stayed at the work
house from the 1Sr of April till the latter part
of June, having worked out his fine

letter to O'Malley stating that
i was afraid his recollection did not serve him
well. there was the record of anything but
his speedy liberation from the workhouse at
the time the iron was stolen, and that as the ar
rest occurred in January he could neither have
gone far on the lake with a rowboat nor raided

he valued his plant, and the 50. 762, 900, the
amount he received for it, by saying it
must be for the good will of the business.

there for and then quietly dispersed. He
had no regret for what he had done.

DOVER, n. H., March 16.-Walter
Walker. a compositor on a local paper, has
had an eventful struggle with matrimonial
bonds, and the more he plunges the worse
off be is. He has been married four times
and divorced thrice, and now he has re-mar-
ried the wife from whom he was first di-
vorced. But in order TO cement the new
bonds it was necessary to break those that
bound him to wife No. 3, and his present
difficulty concerns the method of obtaining
that freedom. He has been summoned TO
court to answer TO the charge of fraudulent
ly obtaining a divorce from his third wife.
She alleges that some time ago the Sheriff
handed her some official looking documents,
but before she had time to look at them her
husband snatched them from her hand and
destroyed them. Shortly after that he re-
turned home and told her ne had just Sc
cured divorce from her. That was her
first intimation that her husband desired n
separation. 1t was only short time after
that that she heard of his marriage to his
former wife. That made her jealous, and
she succeeded in effectually breaking up her
recreant husbands honeymoon.
