ANOTHER SHOOTING AFFRAY.
CHARLES ALnRreuT SHOT THROUGH THE
LUNGS MONDAY NIGHT.

Shortly before midnight Monday
evening, two o. three shots were heard
in the direction of Charles Albrecht' s
residence near the electric light works
An investigation proved that Charles
Albrecht, proprietor of tile Star sa-
loon had been shot through the lungs
by some one, and circumstances indi-
Gated that the shooting had been done
by Chris. Germansin, his bar-keeper.
AIbrecht's sister-ln-law, keeps house
for him, and he had Just returned
from the democratic ratification at
Albany. very short time before the
shooting took place. Those familiar
with tile causes that led tosthe trouble
and shooting, are keeping mum, and
by their actions attempt to convey the
idea that nothing out of the usual or
der has transpired. DIR. Farra is the
attending physician, and the patient is
in fair of recovery unless serious
complications arise. The grand jury
will probaly bring to light the true
facts in the premises, and the public
will await further developments with
interest. Whether the shooting was
the result of a quarrel, or was done
in self defense, remains yet to be de-
termined. Chris. Germansin was ar
rested Wednesday on charge of as
sauIt with dangerous weapon, and
was bound over in the sum of $1,000
to appear before the grand jury, which
he promptly furnished. Of course,
the public have opinions about the
peculiar circumstances attending the
tragedy, but it is hardly the proper
thing just at this time to discuss them

THE B. g. O.'S NEW THROUGH

The management of the Baltimore and
