SHOT BY A COMRADE.

Two Soldiers at Ft. Wood Wounded by q
Private in the Same Company-The
Shooting Done From Ambush-One Of
the Men May Die.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8-Two soldiers at
tached to Ft. Wood, on Bedloe's Island,
were shot from ambush on the island this
morning by fellow soldier, and one so
dangerously wounded that he may die. The
men who were shot are First Sergeant
Robert Van and Private King. Private
George Miller did the shooting.
The garrison stationed q: Ft Wood con-
sists Of Company A, Sixth United States
Infantry. Sergeant Van and Privates King
and William O'Donnell got leave to visit
friends in the city last night. They re-
turned to the island by boat at o'clock
this morning. On their way to the bar
racks they walked In single file. Sergeant
Van was at the head of the party, and be-
hind him came Private King. Further back
was Private O'DonnelL
Suddenly the sharp report of q rifle rang
out and the sergeant dropped to the ground.
Private King staggered and grasped his
right arm with his left. AS the sergeant
fell to the ground he cried out: 'Mv God,
boys, I'm shotv
$50 am II" exclaimed King.
Private O'Donnell rushed to the fort and
gave the alarm. A squad of men hurried
in search of the man who did the shooting,
and another squad went to the aid of the
wounded men.
Sergeant Van was carried to the fort on q
stretcher. 1t was learned that bullet
from a 45-caliber rifle had passed completely
through the upper part of his chest, near
the right shoulder The same bullet had
struck in the right arm, making a painful
but not dangerous wound. 1t is thought
Vans injury will prove fatal Both men
were taken to the hospital on Governors
Island.
In the meantime the searching party
came on the shooter and arrested him. He
was Private Miller, and was on the upper
part of the fort resting on the muzzle of his
rife. Miller was ironed and placed in the
guardhouse The cause of the shooting is
said to be enmisy existing between Sergeant
Van and Private Miller. The latter had
been heard TO threaten Van. Both had been
paying attention to- the same woman.

LITTLE RESPECT FOR ROYALTY.

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.1
LONDON, Oct 8-Diminishing respect
for royalty. which old-fashioned English
men have been long deploring, and which
only week or two ago was indicated by
fiippant newspaper comments upon the
Duke of York's trousers, has been illus
trated afresh this week, in connection with
the arrival OF the Queens ostrich. This
bird was admittedly procured for Her
Majesty somewhere IN Africa The bird,
although of royal rank by virtue OF its
present ownership, has been regarded with
suspicion and derision. Nobody will be-
lieve that it walked, as claimed, 700 miles
from the interior of Africa to the coast,
with black boy on its back, kicking to
death few natives on its way who wanted
to capture it!
The insinuation has been made that it
strangely resembles a menagerie kept
ostrich, and that the glossy blackness of its
feathers is not due to nature. The editor of
the Star, whose impudent dislovalty is fast
becoming a national reproach, suggests that
if the ostrich be really wild creature it
should be turned loose into Windsor Park
to be hunted, instead of tame deer, obliv-
ious of the fact that ostriches are sometimes
very ferocious, and in consequence some of
the royal sportsmen might get hurt Even
the ordinarily loyal Pail Mall Gazette has
permitted writer in its columns to suggest
that as a long distance pedestrian the royal
ostrich would be able to meet all comers.

DiSOrderIy Italians,

Two unknown Italians boarded car No
10S last night at Eleventh and Butler
streets at 10 o'clock and rendered them
selves obnoxious by standing on the plat
form and scattering banana peelings over it,
splitting and using profane language. When
requested to step inside they refused and
one of them aimed aiblow at the conductor,
who promptly elected him. The other
pulled the bell three times for the car to
stop, when he, also, was put off. He then
drew knife and almost succeeded in board
ing the car q second time. The conductor
was forced to kick him in the stomach and
breast to keep him off The men were not

INGALLS, on THE STUMP.

A F1attering Reception at Topeka-The
Senator Has Nothing to Take Back-He
Saws He Is Out of Politics Forever, as
Far as Oficeholding Is Concerned.
TOPEKA, KAs., Oct. s. - Ex-senator
Ingalls, made his first speech in the cam
paign here tonight A torchlight process
sion preceded the speaking and was re-
viewed by Mr.. Ingalls,. The audience which
gathered to hear Mr.. Ingalls, was enormous,
5000 persons being present The enthusi-
asm was proportionate to the size of the
crowd, and the ex-senator was given a
f1attering reception. Before and during
the speaking the Populists scattered circu-
lars around containing this quotation from
one of Mr.. Ingalls, speeches, delivered in
the Senate just before Senator PETER was
elected to succeed him:
/ cannot forbear to affirm that a social
system which offers to tender, virtuous and
independent women the alternative be-
tween immortality and suicide as an escape
rom beggary is orraniz ed crime. fnan-
cial system unaer which mere tnan one-half
of the enormous wealth OF the country de-
rived from the bounty of nature and the
labor of all is owned Dv little more than
1000 people, while 100000 American cit
izens, able and willing to toll are hopeless
tramps, starving for bread requires adj ust-
ment.
Mr. Ingalls, is looking remarkably well
since his return from his European tour.
He said in an interview that his observa-
ton of industrial and social systems abroad
had confirmed his belief in the theory of
protection. Referring to the belief euter-
tanned by some that he was not loyal to Re-
publican principles, he said

Be Honest, Brother.

A resident of Passaic whose
thoughts run into poetry occa-
sionallyhas failing ofcontributing
to various publications foreign to
his own locality and then having
marked copies sent to the editors
of the local press, evidently with a
hope of having himself readver-
tlsed at home. The same would
be-poetical-genius, it is noticed,
although abundantly able, does
nothing toward the support of his
home papers or to the advance
ment of his city. A man who is
popular with his townsmen need
not go to Boston or Philadelphia
to find an avenue to the minds of
his fellow citizens. Treat the
home papers fairly brother, and
they will meet you more than half
way-or let you severely alone.

Make Someone Happy.

1t is well that at the close of the
year, which necessarily has many
vexations and anxieties, there
comes a season, even though brief,
of good cheer and happy wishes
for every one. In many homes
the coming of Christmas-time
means an exuberance of joy, and
in other households where sorrow
and want exist, those who are more
fortunate in this worlds goods
than their needy neighbor ought
to carry a glimmer of bright sun
shine to light the darkened fireside.
Everybody ought to be made
happy at Christmas-time, and
there is no reason why it shouldn't
be SO if the milk of human kind
ness is allowed to flow freely.
Those who have the means at
hand to promote their own enjoy
ment and the happiness of others
ought to bring about both.

"My trip over the Erie to Chi
cago via the "Chicago Limited
was just charming" writes young
lady friend of ours who recently
made the journey. "The cars
were delightfully."- comfortable,
the dining service excellent,
and the trainmen extremely
courteous, and although alone,
felt as much at home as |
could in the parlor of friend. .
We are glad to note the above and
give it publicity. Notwithstand-
ing the many inducements held
out by competing lines the old and
reliable Erie continues to hold its
own. The improvements which
have been made during the recent
past have placed it on par with
all other roads in the country.
1t is the shortest and best route to
Chicago and the West, and the
complete system of signals and
the superior rolling stock in use
render it safe and popular. The
management are completing facili-
ties for handling Worlds Fair
traffic, which is likely to be heavy
over all lines, and especially over
the Erie. As the Chicago hotel and
store keepers do not propose to
lower their prices we see no rea-
son why the railroads should be
asked to, and we will have more
to say on this subject in the near
future.
