SHOOTING ARRAY.

Last evening between and o'clock the
people of South Mosely were startled by
the reports of two shots fired in rapid sue
cession. Policeman Harmon quickly ran
to the spot and found that Sim Travers
had twice shot at Will Hartworker, one
ball taking effect and inficting scalp
wound on the left side of Hartworker's
head. Both men were placed under arrest
by the officer and taken to the city Jail,
when it was found that the man who was
shot had received quite painful but not
serious wound. An EAGLE represent
ative called at the place of the
shooting and from inquiries of neighbors
the facts were learned. Travers and
Hartworker live in the second block On
South Mosely, their houses being opposite.
Hartworker, who is considerably addicted
to drink, came home III an intoxicated
condition last night and became very
abusive to his wife. After abusing her for
time, the fellow craZed by drink, walk
ed across the street to Travers, and very
soon after succeeded in picking quarrel
Travers told him to go home and 90 to
sleep, but the fellow had worked himself
up to wild state and producing large
knife, fourished it in the air, threaten
ing to kill Travers. At last he
made a dig at his neighbor when
Travers ran into the house and procured
his revolver. When he came out of the
house he was again attacked by Hart
worker, when he fired the shots. The
first did not uaks effect so he fired again
and succeeded in flooring his antagonist.
As near as can be learned some gossip or
slanderous story about the family of one
of the parties is the cause of the trouble
Both are laboring men and are considered
peacable and industrious people.

Women and a knowledge of Plumbing.

women and a knowledge of Plum bling.
In conversation with several leading
plumbers, each gave as a result of his ex-
perience the opinion that women are vo-
fully ignorant where plumbing is con-
cerned. One declared: Il have on several
occasions given plain directions on how to
act in case OF leak or other casualty I'M
til the plumber arrived. but as often have
found when the time for action came they
had been entirely forgotten. Even the
simple expedient of turning on the water
in the kitchen or laundry, which Of course
would prevent its running TO the upper
floors, is usually quite overlooked"
Another said, al never have any success
IN explaining the intricaCies of plumbing
to a woman. whereas to the masculine con-
tingent l have no difficulty" From this it
would seem that the intelligence Of woman
is unable TO cope with what is so easily I'M
derstood by man. A third plumber re-
marked: women are always in fear that
the hot water boiler will collapse IL the
water is cut of, and for this reason rs
much as any they hesitate about tamper-
ing with the faucets. Whereas very
slight knowledge OF the subject would con
vince them tnat If in conjunction with
turning of the water the sink faucets are
opened so that air can reach the boiler no
damage can result"
While each plumber admitted that a
knowledge Of the fundamental principles
of plumbing on the part of women would
often save considerable expense and dam
age, none was enthusiastic, evidently pre-
ferring ignorance 70 an enlightenment
which would perhaps curtail his opp0r-
