IT'S SOMETHING NEW.
A Local Shooting Handicap Arranged
to Take Place.
CHANCE FOR GOOD AND BAD SHOTS.
Pittsburg Champion Dogs Carry Off Honors
at the South Carolina Bench Show.
MCLELLAND CHALLENGES NlKIRK

A shooting contest of kind that has n OF
taken place in Pittsburg before, has been
arranged to take place at Homewood Park
on February 81. II is handicap sweep
stake shoot to be governed by Hurlingham
rules, and the object is to hold out induce
ments to all grades of shooters in and about
Pittsburg particularly, although the handi-
cap is open to all. There are scores of
shooters in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern
Ohio and West Virginia who shoot under
the rules named above, and the handicap is
to try and get these men together and In a
way that each will have chance to win.
The conditions are that each contestant puts
mp a stake or entrance fee of S.. and to the total
James Bradshaw will add $50. The added
money will be a go" no matter how few or
how many entries there are, and each contest
ant is to pay his bird money on the ground.
The distances will range from Is to % yards.
and this latitude is considered sufficient to
induce both good and bad shooters to enter.
Each man will shoot at five live pigeons. and
one trap will be used. The use of one barrel
only will be allowed, and only one ounce of
shot. These conditions ought to make things
quite interesting. Each contestant can take
out as many shares as he likes, but no man
will be allowed to re-enter after the shooting
has started
The promoters have made another interest
ing condition, viz, that contestants can shoot
under any name they choose, but they must en-
ter and pay their money in their right name
This requirement is insisted on so that the
Handicapped will not be misled. A competent
man will be selected as handicapped; man
who has thorough experience and knowledge
of shooting and shooters. Entries must all be
made on or before February 18, and they can
be made to the sporting editor of this paper,
or to Mr.. Haggerty, clubhouse keeper at
Homewood Park.

FOR STEALING FOWLS,
A NOBLE GERMAN COUNT IN THE ROLE
OF A CHICKEN THIEF.
Cast or by His Parents for Loving an
American Girl-His Devotion to Her
Memory Forces Him Into Beggnry and
Theft.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. ]

KENsINGToN, CONN, Feb. q - Con-
stable Taylor arrested a man on Friday,
who is known here as Frank Wolf. He was
charged with stealing chickens. Wolf is a
scion of nobility and his real name is Count
Won Wolff. About five years ago. while
he was at home on his fathers estate in Ger
many, he met and fell in love with beauti-
full American girl, who was residing in
Germany for her health, and his love was
reciprocated. The parents of the Count did
not like the growing intimacy between their
son and the American girl, and to separate
them, he was sent to q far-away post.
Before the lovers parted the girl gave him
her address in America, and, as sshe intended
to sail for home in short time. he promised
to Join her as soon as possible. She returned
to this country, and went to. her home In
Berlin, this State, where she died soon after
ward from a disease of the lungs. About a
month after her death the Count appeared
in the town, and, learning that his love was
dead, shut himself up in his room and
mourned for her. When his parents learned
that he had deserted his post they cast him
off. When he wanted TO return to Germany
again they refused to send him the necessary
money.
Then he took an oath that he would never
leave the place where his love lay buried.
He was forced to obtain work to support
himself, and was for time common
laborer for Attorney Ives and Mr.. Atwater,
Of this place. A short time ago he was dis
charged, and since that time has been
obliged to beg his meals. The Count is a
strong, heavily built man of distinguished
bearing. He was bound over to the Superior
Court under $500 bonds.

TAX ON MORTGAGES.
An Important Decision Rendered by the
Supreme Court

An Important Decision Rendered by the
Supreme Court
xrEc1AL TELEeKAM TO THE DISPATCH,
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.-The Supreme
Court to-day affirmed the decision of Com
mon Pleas Court No. 2, in the case involv-
ing the contention between the officers of the
State and the trust companies OF this city,
as to the liability of the latter to taxation
under the new revenue law of 1889.
The court says, in an opinion delivered
by Judge Mitchell: "We conclude that
the intent of the act was to tax all
mortgages three mills on the dollar,
but not to tax any of them twice.
As to individuals, the tax
is levied by Section directly
on the mortgages at their face value. But
as to such mortgages as are included In the
capital stock of such corporations, the three
mills are levied, not directly on the mort.
cages themselves, but under Section q on
their value rs part OF the stock as estimated
by the profits earned"

Italians Put on Trial for the Murder of
Countryman-An but One Discharged
and This Trial Continues-Other Work of
the Judges.
The trial for murder of Joseph Higgins,
John and Anthony Maliki, John Andrelis
and John Atches, for the killing of Michael
Gazowski, was begun in Criminal Court yes
terday morning. District Attorney johnson
and Alex E. Goss represented the Common
wealth, while Messrs. Moore, Newlin and
Friedman appeared for the defendants.
The murder occurred on the night of October
at McKee's Rocks, where the men lived in
shanty boat. Together with the dead
man and some others the defendants
were drinking beer and whisky, and
at one stage Of the orgie Gazowski
was accused of stealing some of the beer. After
fighting for time he and some few others
were chased of the boat, when they turned and
threw stones at the boat One of the inmates
then went out and fired a shot at those on the
bank above and bullet penetrated Gazowskps
stomach, causing his death the next day. Dis
trict Attorney johnson reviewed the facts and
asked for verdict less than first degree. as the
evidence he was to produce, he said, was not
strong enough for the higher degree.
The stories of a number of witnesses were
heard. including Dominick Barto, who testlhed
to having purchased the two kegs OF beer and
taking it to the boat where the fight started.
and to them all being ordered out by the owner.
John Maliki. The fight then began, and the
beer was stolen. Higgins said somebody was
throwing stones. and ran to get cartridges. AT
this point District Attorney johnson said he
would not ask for the conviction of any OF the
defendants but Higgins. and verdict OF not
guilty was taken as to the Others.
Higgins was then put on the stand and testi-
fed that he did not encourage the others to
shoot He ran into a back room when the
stones were thrown and did not return. A
man named Leonius or Levanius went out to
the end of the boat and fired at the crowd on
the bank Leonius is not one OF the defendants
By the testimony of the others it appeared that
Higgins was never known to carry a pistol
while Leonius was always with one. When
told that a man had been shot he disappeared
and has not since been seen.
At this point court adjourned Tor supper.
When court reconvened, at $50, w d. Moore,
ESQ. made an address in favor of the defense,
asking for acquittal. He was followed by Dis
trict Attorney Johnston who argued that the
evidence showed the shooting to be uncalled
for without reason. without provocation, and
without Justification. Judge Stoves charge
was as usual, directly to. the point The jury
retired, and the Court waited for time Tor
verdict. No agreement having been reached,
however, by S:45 o'clock, the court adjourned
until this morning.

Her Throat Cut From Ear to Ear, but She
Will Recover.

Her Throat Cut From Ear to Ear, but She
Will Recover.
UTICA, Feb. 2.-In the town of Marcy,
about FIVE miles from this city. there occur
red last evening an attempt to murder a
young woman named Lena Marks. She is
aged about % years and resided with her
father, who conducts pie bakery. In the
evening she left the room in which her
father, mother and several brothers we're
seated, and went out to the bakery, situated
few rods from the house. She had been
there but few minutes when the door
opened and stranger stepped into the
room. He asked her to follow him, and on
her refusal 10 do so, he turned toward her
with a bottle and handkerchie. in his
hands, and after y moments struggle the
girl lost consciousness.
About 9 o'clock the family became
alarmed at her absence and the brothers
went to the bakery. She was found lying
in a pool of blood just outside the bakery
door with her throat cut from one side to
the other. After hours of work she became
conscious, and though she is badly wounded.
and has lost large quantity of blood, it is
now believed she will recover. The doctor
who attended the girl thinks that she was
first assaulted, and then that her assailant
attempted murder to escape detection. She
is still too weak to tell the story In all its
details.
