| PECULIAR SHOOTING SCRlPE
Out in tho Country, for Which Mar.
tins Ferry Man was Arrested Last
Evening-A Stranger Fined by
Squire GiIIespy for Indecent AS
sauIt on a Woman Yesterday,

There was strange shooting affair
out in the country last Sunday, and
very conflicting stories are told about
it. Yesterday Squire Phillips issued a
warrant for Will Fischer. OF Martins
Ferry, charged with "feloniously and
maiciously shooting William Hartman,
with intent to main, disfgure, disable
and kill" Last evening Officer Terrill
arrested Fischer. who is saloon keeper
at Martins Ferry, and he was brought
to the city and arraigned before Squire
Gillespy, who admitted him to bail in
$500 for his appearance Saturday at 10
a. m. He gave bond and went back
home.
Hartmann drives wagon for the Bel
mont Brewing Company. He and
ing near Roney's Point on Sunday. The
story told the justice was that the two
men quarreied, and Fischer ordered
Hartmann not to touch the team hitched
TO the wagon, saying ii he did he would
shoot him or he would kill him. Hart
mann paid no attention to the threats,
and Fischer made them good. shooting
two balls at Hartmann, one piercing his
thigh and the other his right leg.
FisCher's story as heard by an INTEL
LIGENccR reporter last night, is entirely
diiIet BIT from this version, and seems
to be In part borne out by the Circun-
stances. He says there had been no
quarrel, but that they had started home,
when Hartmann announced his deter.
mination to 20 back. Fischer said, I'll
you do | will shoot you" He was Jest
ing, and Hartmann answered, also jest
ingIy, "Oh, shoot Nwayl You couldn't
hit me anyhow"
When Hartmann had gone several
hundred yards, Fischer SAYS, somebody
present said, SHOOT at him, you could
MT hit him that far of, anyhow.
He fired. Hartmann walked on, but
put his hand down to his leg. A little
later somebody again said, "Now shoot
him." and he again fired. Hartmann
agrin put his hand where the ball
struck, but did not finch, and walked
right on. The others did not know he
was hit until they reached the house
where he was. The gun was 22.calibre
rifle, and Fischer said he scarcely be-
lieved it carried so far until it was
shown beyond doubt.
lie then told Hartmann he would pay
his doctors bill and pay his wages for
all the time he lost, and that seemed to
be satisfactory. On Monday, however,
Hartnann's brother and brother-in-
law called on Fischer and wanted him
to give bond to pay the expenses OF the
wounded man, but he answered that it
was unnecessary and renewed his prom:
Use to nay the expenses and make good
lost wages, and asked ii his word was
uot good forit. The men seemed to be
satisfied and left Fischer was very
much surprised when he'w0s arrested.

A remarkable feature OF the success
of "Niobo," which appears on Thurs

the attractiveness it has Tor women.
Invariably they monopolize tho seats at
tho matinee, but BY n strange coinci-
dence they outnumber the men at the
evening performance. In Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago, where
"Niobe" had extended runs, 1t was by
no means unusual to sec several boxes
filed exclusively with ladies.
While the play nbounds with witty
dialogue and complicated situations at

laughing, there seems to be something
irrcsistabiy attractive TO the female
mind in the peculiar vicissitudes OF

MISS. BROWNS LECTURE.
R uskin Discussed as a Teacher
and as a Critic Of Life.

The project Of establishing a free
scholarship at Barnard College, New

cial impetus from the proceeds Of a lee

on "Ruskin as 8 Critic of Modern Life

room Of the Bergen Rsformsd Church
yesterday afternoon. The audience.
fairly representative of literary society In
the city, completely filled the room.
There were two maiu reasons why the
affair was 30 suecessful-drst. the ex-
cellent delivery and well modulats d
voice of the lecturer; second. the thorough
grasp OF the subject. shown by the LEG
lure. Miss Brown is evidently u close
student of English literature, discrim-
Ina ting. critical and given to looking into
the deeper bearings OF her subject.
She said In part that while Ruskin
wished TO De a thinker Instead of a word
painter, he succeeded in betng both. AS
he grew to be old he had become secured,
out OF gear with the world, and his late
works were at times hardly mora than a
sparl against the existing order of things,
He thought himself a political econo-
mist-we would call him soci ,lisJ-yet

artist aud poet of the people. He was
opposed to railroad travel, since It de-
stroyed the aesthetic side of life and de,
faced the beauties OF nature, and to

AS a teacher of beauty, Rus
kin has always been devoted and

ion of the beautiful for ms OF the past la

Damage from the fire at Odd Fellows'

estimate be covered by SIG. 900. That Is

asked last night how soon be expects 10

The ball proper Is not burned badly,
the damages principally being co the floor
BY water. The stair cases are scorcned
and heaps of rubbish are scattered over
the steps.
One Of the members OF the stock com
pany tibet controls the building said last
night that nothing will be done towards
renovation until the insurance adjusters
Inspect the building. How soon that viii
be, the informant could not a~uthorita-
lively say. The companies IN which the
building is insured are Phoenix. London
pool of New York. The building Is in
sured for $4,000. twenty on the hall
proper and i've on the rear portion. The
entire building. including grounds. is
valued at SO. 600, twenty thousand being
the worth of the grounds.
Proprietor Kroebel cannot use the hall

Mayor Wanser yesterday afternoon
established a most commendabIe pre-
cedent which will have the eff CO OF put
ting an snd to ~jobnerS. crooked work
and monksying in public work.
In THE JERSEY CITY News yesterday
afternoon it was told that everyone nav-
ing any connection with Public School

Brothers made II numbar OF CONCESSIONS,
until the Mayor conc luded that he had
the school in pretty good shape and
everything considered.
Then came the rub. Terry Mcdonald
wants 81, 200 for his services. The Mayor
smiled ana told the contractors that they
must pay Terry, because 1t was their
fault that the building was not flashed
at the prescribed time.
Mr.. C0n1sn agreed to pay him two
months salary, SO as to settle the trouble,
Kelly Brothers wouldn't pay q cent.
neither will ttiele. who. IL he pays ali

Mayor Wanser then Informed Condor
that he could have all his money and In

Giele then wanted the Street aud Water
Commissioner TO be compslled TO pay for

was laughed at. 1t was suggested to the
Mayor that he let up on the men because
they had all lost money.
II VIII not let up'' was the Mayors
determined answer, s'Had these men

GUS physicians, both in Ohio and Kansas,
but the rheumatism has come back in q
worse form than ever.
"About two months ago." says the Hutch
inson News, she bought a bottle of Paine's
celery compound, having little faith In
anything at the time: but he experienced
relief from it the first day he began taking
it. Before he had taken all OF the first bot
tie he thought he was cured, and recklessly
exposed himself and had a set back. He
again began taking the medicine, and is
now on his third bottle, and he says thai he
feels like a well man. He is entirely free
from pain n swelling The Judge has
found out, as thousands of others have, that
Pafne's celery compound is the one true
specific for rheumatism, and says ne be-
lie7es that if lie only takes halfway care of

himself to the elements, that he Will never

JeTSey CltyNS TTOSTeSSs
We are glad to see some practical
steps taken toward the building of
the new City Hall. even though it be
so small as a $40. 900 step. This i'm
portant work ought to be pushed
with vigor. 1t is needed to centralize
the great progressive movement which
is on foot in Jersey city business.
1t is really extraordinary what a
new development has taken place
since the trolley cars began running.
The streets seem more crowded than
ever, and retail trade seems to be
getting brisker. Some of the enter
prising business houses. such as Brown
s. Van Anglen's, O'Brien's, Russell's,
Ringlels, Hanley's, De longs and
Baron's all report good sales in spite
of II N9~al dull times. The Acad-
q. of Musi is doing the best BUSH
ness this year it has ever enjoyed.
L..ere IS a general air of shaking off
the old traditions of fossilism, and of
starting a genuine fight to keep the
money of Jersey citizens in Jersey
City instead of taking it over to New
York to spend.
The function of the rapid transit
lines in this great movement is to
bring the retail buyers from the
residence quarters of the city to a
focus, to carry them rapidly to some
central point where retail trade can
make its headquarters. There is a
strong tendency already existing to-
wards the establishment of this shop
ping district within a radius of a
quarter of a mile or so about the new
City Hall site. The erection
of the building by attracting
traffic to Montgomery and Grove
streets. and by giving tone and value
to the surrounding real estate, will
confirm the existing tendencies. and
give the city a definite centre and a
definite form, as it were, for all future
time.
This is what we want-a business
centre; we practically have already
the means Of quick and convenient
access to all parts of the city. We
will soon get up alongside Newark in
self-containment, and population and
wealth will not lag far behind.
