The latest society event Of note to
occur in New York was a grand
opening.n 1t occurred at the Hotel
Waldorf. the new Astor csravansary.
and is described as a scene of unpar-
alleled magniicence. Everything
was free. of course, and some of the
most distinguished ladies of fashion
residing in Gotham officiated as host
esses. Mr.. Astor had also taken
pains to invite proper people from
other cities, who would be likely to
be guests of the hotel in the future,
or to send their friends there Thus
is a social prestige given to Mr..
Astor's tavern to such an extent that
he will be able hereafter to charge
his guests by the minute.

Money FOR DRINK.
Bu. Hs Could Not AFFORD to Pay His
Debts.

INT ne Gould Not AFFORD 10 ray BIS
Debts.
It appears that some persons have not
learned lessons Of frugality from the
present "hard times" The practice OF
a little self-denial might have the effect
of removing some of the distress one
hears OF so frequently. A case in point
was brought to the attention OF a
REGISTER reporter yesterday.
An artisan owed merchant S12, and
made an arrangement with his collector
TO nav a dollar week until the debt was
satisfied. Saturday the collector was
met with a statement from the artisan
that he had not worked steady
during the week, and would have
to put him off. The collector was about
to leave, when he was called back and
asked to "take drink" A third party
who was present was asked to accom-
uany the pair. In the saloon the
artisan found two of his friends and
they were also invited. The Dill was
fifty cents.
After paying for the drinks the
artisan explained tip the collector that
he was short Of ready cash, and when
the latter started to leave he called him
back. and, as an earnest OF his good
intentions probably, ordered the bar
tender TO "fll 'em up again" After
paying another half dollar the party

WILSON on THE STAND.

Wilson was then placed on the stand.
He said that be is 80 years old and has
q wife and child. He was employed up
to the first of September as chief boss
in the wild animal department and as a
ticket seller. He has carried revolver
for some thirteen years, it being neces-
sary in his business, so that In case OF
accident or the escape Of wild animal
it NAV be shot. IL is customary for
animal keepers to carry revolvers, and
ut Bellaire one time witness had occa-
sion TO use his revolver and kill an
animal which had attacked man. As
ticket seller, with money In his posses
sion. he also needed a revolver. On the
day of the killing he came from the
show to the performers or ladies' car
where most OF the married people stay
ed. While there several young men
passed the car, one OF them threw
kiss at one of the ladies', pulled
out dollar and made an insulting
remark. The lady's husband wen
out and slapped two or three OF them In
the mouth. This man was Wm. Grace.
He came back into the car and Wilson
went out at the other end OF the car.
Rocks were flying through the air and
many OF the crowd were calling the man
(Grace) all kinds of vulgar names,
swearing and threatening to cut his
heart out. The next thing he knew be
was struck over the head with black
lack, which knocked him down. While
down he was kicked four or five times
so that his right side was blue the next
day. He saw 20 policeman at the time,
and heard no one say that he was under
arrest. He called for the police, God
Almighty and whoever else he thought
could help him. He got away and was
struck again, from which blow be was
unconscious for time and still has
dent 10 his head. When be came TO,
he found a revolver in MS hand pointing
m and as he was struck again
the revolver went off. He was
fred on about that time by two
persons, and be thought be saw three
revolvers. He was at that time bleed
ing and sore, he thought
HIS LIFE WAS N DANGER
and fred his revolver twice aid then
went under a box car. Was there
minute or thereabouts and while there
ma was fired on. He was very nervous
and wondered where DE would land
next. He lost control OF himself and
did not return the fire. He then got
out from under the box car and when
he next remembers anything he was
irving TO get on car and two men were
irving TO pull him down. He called TO
a man on the car "For Gods sake help
me up, haven't done anything" They
then took him TO the jail, twisting his
arms behind him so as 10 scrape the
skin OF his wrists, cursing him and say
ing they ought 70 throw the d -
- to the crowd, which would be
the easiest way to get rid Of him. He
at no time saw shy officer, though sew

HAIL STONES.

the farmers who were damaged by

Whitchard collected and hauled about
1000 pounds of hail from the woods, and
used it in making and refrigerating ice
cream.
After the storm a great number of
dead fish were found in Pace mill pond.
Some are of the opinion that they
were killed by the hail, while others
think that they were poisoned by leaves,
or some other kind of vegetation, thai
fell in the pond during the storm.
Chief of Police Hatcher was also
considerably damas el by the storm. Be-
sides losing his entire cotton crop he had
40 acres of oats, which promised to yield
500 bushels, completely destroyed, and
he will not now get peck from the
whole fed He also had 81 hogs killed
by the hail and number of others SO
badly hurt that they may die.
