sTUNG BY A sTINGAREE.

On Monday, Sept. 25th, John Nc
Neill, colored, of James City, while
fishing at the mouth of Bay river for
Messrs. w. B. Blades and Fernie Cas-
kill, was stung just above the ankle by
a stingaree, producing a painful sore
which still causes great trouble. Last
Thursday, four weeks and three days
after the mishap, a piece of the sting
three quarters of an inch in length,
broken off in the wound, worked out.
This is about one-fourth of a whole
sting. The piece was almost as smooth
as glass, if rubbed from the point up
ward, but closely connected layers of
sharp points pointing upward, showed
that while it might be pressed into the
flesh of a person with almost the facility
of a small, sharp knife blade, to get it
out would lacerate the flesh in a very
trying manner just like a cluster of
fish hook barbs on one central support
would.
The mechanical construction of the
sung Is not the main thing to be
dreaded from a wound of the kind.

NEWSPAPER COMMENTS.
The Leading Party Organs IL avery Sec,

How Repeal Suits Them.

Well, we have the repeal; now let
us have the promised revival Of bust
ness. We are hourly expecting the ar
rival of the benevolent man who is to
pay ten cents a pound for cotton. We
are also anxiously watching for the
crowds of consumers who are to begin
now to make trade brisk. Let them
stand not back. They are needed bad
ly. We are also waiting to hear of the
arrival of investors who have been
promising to make the market for
bonds and securities lively, and like
wise to give our real estate a boost.
But so far we have pricke up our ears
in vain. Those who depend on such
things lean on a broken reed Meas

Grover Cleveland has only empha-

slaughter pen. He has set himself up
as a Hindoo god, and the Senate of the
United States used his joss sticks to adj

TO PREVENT SILVER FROM IN
TURING GOLD.

The Messenger regrets it has misun-
derEtOod the Baltimore San as To cur-
rency. That paper says it is on the
strict line of the Democratic platform.
Its anxiety has not been to get rid of
silver, but to preUent the innoc, Mt,
much warred upon silver coin from IN
juring the poor, helpless, harmless gold
that has no friends in this country, but
the few rich, the timid bond-holders,
the modest bankers, the vacillating
President, the acrobatic Secretary of
the Treasury, Carlisle, and the pat
ronage Senator'S and their tooters and
organ The Sun and its allies have
been successful. Silver will not drive
out or injure gold much this year or
any other year, for the yellow metal is
completely on top now, thanks to
Cleveland & Company. There is not
the shadow of a shade of doubt of that.
Silver will go down lower in the scale
of value, and probably before a year
passes will, as a commodity. sell for 20
per cent. less than it was worth two
months ago, unless the Democrats real
ly act in good faith, and do something
more than make a mere profession of
bi metallism, and show that they are in
fact the friends of silver, or the party
will be defeated, for a betrayal of a
trust, for violating a sacred pramise,
of a premeditated and united deliver
ance against silver. Silver has no real
friends in the men who voted against
as free coinage for silver as gold has.

Rnmored Attempt to Shoot Gladstone

Rumored Attempt to Shoot Gladstone
LONDON, April 27.-The Pail Mall
Gazette to-day contains q sensational
article headed ''Rumor of an attempt
to shoot Gladstone" The paper states
that the alleged attempt upon the
prime minister's life was made while
Mr.. Gladstone was walking through
St. James Park at midnight last night
on his way to his home. 1t has since
been learned that Mr.. Gladstone, who
attended dinner party last night, was
walking to his home about the time q
man who fired revolver was arrest
ed. He saw nothing Of the occurrence,
and no one now believes that any at
tempt was made to shoot him.
Notwithstanding the statements that
have been made to the effect that 0Ir.
Gladstone was in no danger of being
shot, and that no importance is TO be
attached to the affair. there is a grow
ing suspicion that Mr. Gladstone was
nearer being fired at than his friends
are willing to admit. A man is under
| arrest named William Townsend. He
is IS years old, and is a resident OF
Sheffield. The officer who arrested him
saw him mount the steps of Mr.. Glad,
stones residence shortly after Mr.
Gladstone had entered. When the pc,
Iiceman ordered him to descend he
fired at the officer, and subsequently
struggled against being arrested. Toun,

revolver was accidental. Some of the

ALL TRIED SUIcIDE.-Three persons
of the same family attempted suicide on
account of domestic troubles at Bridge
ton, Nj, yesterday. VIM. Loder, who
has not lived happily with his wife for
some time, tried to drown himself by
holding his head in tub of water. He
had just quarreled with his wife and
severely upbraided her for receiving the
attentions of man known as Benzine'
Woodruff. When Mrs. Loder saw her
husband thrust his head into the water
she ran to a closet, seized bottle con-
tanning laudanum, and swallowed the
contents. She then fell into a stupor
and remained unconscious for several
hours. The Soung adopted daughter
of the couple became hysterical over
these acts of her foster parents, and
while in state of frenzy swallowed a
dose of paris green. The groans of the
Young woman attracted some of the
neighbors, and medical aid was prompt
" obtained. Loder was partly con-
scious when his head was pulled from
the tub of water, and he soon revived.
The doctors worked several hours with
Mrs. Loder and the adopted daughter
before succeeding in restoring them.
All three are thought to be out of dan
ger.
