'GOESCH shot TO KILL
A Very Close Call for Mr..
Caspar Davis,
The Outcome Of Dispute About Cigars and
an Accusation Made by a Wife to
Her Husband.

Max Goesch, saloon-keeper at 6lS Ellis
street, is laDgushing behind the bars at the
new City Hall station with charge of
assault to murder against his name. Goesch
attempted to kill Casper Davis, a cigar
dealer, with whom he had a quarrel, by
firing two shots at him with revolver on
the corner Of LRrkin and Ellis streets q!
about o'clock last night.
There has been considerable ill feeling
between the two men for some time past.
Davis keeps a cigaT-store at 100 Powell
street. and up to few days ago GOesch ran
the adjoining saloon. When the latter sold
out the place short time ago Davis claims
that he took quantity of cigars and tobac-
co from his store and disposed of the stuff
without making any returns.
Shortly after O'Clock last evening Davis
went to Goesch's home at 618 Ellis street to
demand the return OF the property, but
found the latter out and stated his case TO
his wife.
Goesch returned while the interview was
going on, and when he learned the object of
his visit knocked Davis down and threw
him out of the house. at the same time pull
ing his revolver from his pocket Davis ran
rapidly up Ellis street, followed by Goesch.
who fired two shots at the fleeing man when
he reached Larkin street, neither Of which
took effect
GOeseh was about to fire the third time
when Policeman McArdle. who had been
attracted by the pistol shots, grasped the
weapon and placed the shooter under arrest
and locked him up at the new City Hail
station.
When seen by a reporter In the prison,
Goesch freely admitted the shooting. and
expressed regret that he did not succeed in
killing Davis. He claims that Davis came
to his home purposely during his absence
and made an indecent proposal to his wife,
and that when she rejected his advances he
assaulted her.
Goesch says he returned ut this juncture
and was so eDragcd a his wifs's account of
Davis actions that he knocked the latter
down, and securing the revolver fired at
him with the intention of killing him. He
claims that bis action was iustlfable.

Measuring Thought.

Among those who delight in pushing
their investigation into the by-ways OF
science is a learned doctor, who has con-
structed an ingenious apparatus by which
he can determine, with a considerable
degree of accuracy, the time it takes to
think. He has shown that TO see a piece
of white paper aud be conscious of the
fact takes one-twentieth of second; to
see picture takes one-tenth OF a second;
to see letter of common print, one
eighth of second; to see a full word,
one-seventh of a second, and to be able
to Judge between red aud blue, one
thirteenth Of second. BY this machine,
the time of remembering can also be
accurately measured. According to its
enthusiastic inventor, much less time is
occupied in remembering the name Of a
familiar word than the name Of letter.
This seems strange, especially when the
fact that we can see the letter 10 less
time than the word is taken into con-
sideration. This machine also shows
that sensations travel by the nerves to
the brain at the rate of one mile per
minute, much slower than has been sup
posed. Courier Journal.

EATABLE MUTTON.

OF the various crosses of the South
down or other breeds of sheep, the
Shropshire thus far seems the most gen.
orally useful in America. A greater num-
Der of these have consequently been i'm
ported, especially of rams to turn out
among our focks of common ewes. The
chif unit of their breeding is an increase
of flesh 10 proportion to the bone, and
this flesh is Of supreme quality, it being
mostly tender, juicy lean, we'll marbled,
that is abundantly mixed with nice,
slender streaks of fat. Broader, more
juicy and thicker chops can be cut from
the carcass of such sheep, and they are
more savory and tenderly cooked. The
leg Of mutton, whether roasted or boiled,
is so superior that every part Of it is
eaten without waste OF fat and tough
pieces to be cut off and laid aside. If,
then, it happens to cost higher in the
market, it is cheaper in the end, for
every part Of it is consumed and highly
relished.-New York Tribune.

SYmnathetiC Jurors.

Criminal court lawyers like to have
their cases on the first two or three days
of the term if possible. The reason is
that the jurors in many instances are
fresh and green at the work OF listening
to evidence, and invariably show more
sympathy for the persons on trial than
they have after they have sat for a couple
of weeks.
Jurors in the General Sessions Court
are chosen to try cases for month.
Every term there are always scms who
have nevar been in the court before,
while of course Others have had plenty
of experience, and are adamantinc. So
tine young lawyer at the beginning OF the
month dwells oa the sympathetic side OF
bis case and resorts toall tricks, such as
bringing the weeping wife into court,
and tells the juries Of the terrible re-
suits of term iu State prison. The
workings of the minds Of the jurors are
beyond explanation.
The first case tried in Part III. Of the
court this term was a little ass lult case.
A man was charged with shooting at his
wife; he didn't hit her. 1t happened to
come out on the trial that the defendau.
had razor, which he had dropped when
he was arrested. There was not the
slightest evidence that he hal ever used
the razor or threatened to use it.
Still, after the jurymen had been out
for half an hour, they sent back word to
the court that they would like to have
the razor sent up to them. What they
could want of the razor was beyond i'm
agination, but the Judg sent it up
to their room. 1t might have been ef-
fective, however, for the jury failed to
agree.-New York Times.

A sbIendId Armament.

The armament Of the cruiser New
York presents the very highest typeof
science in modern ordnance. Unlike
the very big ships Of foreign nayies
and our own battle ships as well, the
huge gun Of great caliber and weight
has been discarded. This is in line
with the tendency Of naval thought.
We are beginning to believe that the
bigger the guns does not make greater
the certainty of the fight. The great
Farragut used to say, 81 don't care
dent how big a gun the Navy Depart
ment gives me, but | want plenty OF
them. II | can't get enough guns to
keep up q continuous fire | don't want
any. l don't think that it is the sole
policy of guns to sink ships and batter
down forts. / want to use them to
scare the human element in the
enemy. If you can get close
enough to your enemy and can keep
upon him such fire as he cannot
stand up against, you have him
whipped. My great objection to big
guns is that there is too long an in
terval between shots, with the IN
certainty Of hitting Above all ]
want to get az the man in command
of the ship or in charge Of her guns
/ am flghting the men-and then the
task is easy As it was this policy
that won all Of Farragut's victories,
his words are worth quoting.
The big New York has been armcc
with close observance TO the Farragut
idea. No very great and heavy guns
but plenty Of the lighter and more
rapid calibers. The main battery Of
the New York is to be six S-inch high
power rifles and twelve finch OF the
same class of guns. These last are t.
be Of the improved kind, which gun
can fire twenty shots minute. They
carry a 32-pound shell and are the
wickedest small gun now known.
