time and One Was Shot.
NEW York, Oct. 2-Policeman James
F. Ball was shot in the left breast and
seriously wounded, early to-day, by a
brother patrolman, named John F..
Storms. The shooting occurred in the
dormitory of the East Thirty-fifth street
station house. Ball and Storms were
skylarking and the noise which they
made disturbed the slumber of another
patrolman named Broderick. The latter
brandished his revolver and declared
that he would put stop to his compan-
ions fun.
Storms undertook to disarm BrodericlS
and in the struggle the revolver, which
was OF 35-calibre, was discharged. The
bullet entered Balls breast. The
wounded man was taken to the Bellevue
Hospital.

ROTH WE'RE KILLED.


Lives of an Engineer and Fireman.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, oct.2.-Passenger
train No. 4 on the Frisco road, which
left here at 1905 o'clock last night,
about 10 minutes late, ran into an open
switch at LYMAN. dashing through
three stock cars. Engineer Maxey Hall
and Fireman Charles Robinson were
both instantly killed. So far as could
be ascertained none Of the passengers
were seriously injured.
The switch had been opened by some
person, undoubtedly with the intention
of wrecking the train. Lyman is only a
blind side-track, there being no depot OF
telegraph office there.
Three stock cars were just inside, in
the shadows, so that the engineer and
fireman had no way of seeing the danger
until the crash came.

not in accord with her own almost
savagely exacting creed; and of social
and Intellectual environment in which
there were more melancholy, hopeless
seriousness, petty caviling, downright
hatred and far less brightness and senti-
ment than about the oIden camptires OF
the American Chippewas or Sioux.
1t is plain that the Carlyles were not
only not beloved, but that they were
disliked with that brutal sort Of rancor
common in ignorant neighborhcods,
The father was the best workman of
the community. Had he not possessed
furious temper and a hard fist, lie
would have been driven from the ham
let He was feared, rather than liked
or respected. The mother was held by
her guidwife neighbors to be o'ersaintly
and "oer-asperans," or pompous in
manner and language, as well as
''muckle auld-mou'd,n or sagacious and
crafty in discourse. The imperious OBJ
stinacy Of the father, so marked char
acteristIc Of the son, rather than just
pride in intelligence for its own sake,
determined him on making the boy a
scholar; and this again widened the
breach between the stone-mason's
family and the carping villagers. The
latter stood in awe Of his fists, but stung
the brave wites spirit wofully with
their crafty gossip and rsillery. The
hurt was double upon the boys defence
less head. The parents in their prayers
| illustrated TO the lad what a debt Of graft
tude was being piled up against him BY
the Almighty that he was permitted tc
live, and by themselves that they had sus
tanned contumely and sacrifice to give
him those mighty advantages; whilt
through his playfellows, on account Of
the disposition OF their parents, he was
made the victim Of every conceivable
species of savagery and contempt.

exposition, In order 10 correct certain,
erroneous statements In regard to the
fair. which have been given wide circu-,
lation, yesterday issued the following,
sard:
To the Public-Because of many mis-
representations and misstatements rel
ative to exposition management and at
fairs being in circulation through the
press and otherwise, both in this coun-
try and abroad; and In reply to many
letters Of inquiry or complaints touch
ing the same matters, 1t seems advisa-
BILE that some official statement regard
ing them should be made to the public.'
Therefore, respectfully ask that the
widest publicity be given to the follow
ing facts:
First-The exposition will be opened
In readiness for visitors on May 1.
Second-An abundance Of drinking
water, the best supplied to any great
city in the world, will be provided free
to all. The report that charge would
be made for drinking water probably
arose from the fact that hygeia water
can also be had by those who may de-
sire at one cent glass.
Third-Ample provisions for seating
will be made without charge.
Fourth-About 1,5O0 toilet rooms and
closets will be located at convenient
points in the buildings and about the
grounds and they will be absolutely
free to the public. This is as large Q
number in proportion TO the estimated
attendance as has ever been provided In
any exposition. In addition to these
there will also be nearly an equal mum
Der Of lavatories and toilet rooms OF
costly and handsome character, as ex
hibits, for the use Of which charge o
FIVE cents will be made.
Fifth-The admission fee OF fifty cent
will entitle the visitor to see and ente
:. all the exposition buildings, inspect tn
exhibits and in short, to see everything
within the exposition grounds, exosp
the Esquimaux village and the repro
!. duction OF the Colorado cliff dwellings
For these as we'll as for the special q,
!, fractions on midway plaizance, smal
fee will be charged.
Sixth-Imposition or extortion Of an
description will not be tolerated.

ency hospital service Is provided on tn
grounds by the exposition management
Eighth-The bureau Of public con
L fort will provide commodious free wal
