what the family attribute his action to.

OPEN MEETING OF WORKINCMeN.
Speeches Made Against City Work Being
Done by Contract.


Done by Contract.
An open meeting under the auspices
OF the Central Trade and Labor Council
was held In Elletts Hall last night.
Mr.. Mullen, chairman OF the Trades
Union. presided, and there were about
100 workngmen present. The subject for
discussion was, 1.-The Abolition OF the
Contract System on All City Work
Mr.. Mullen, In calling the meeting to
order spoke at some length. He
branched off into the subject of hard
times. and said that the present state of
affairs was in a large measure Que 10 a
"monopolistic press"
Several speakers followed the Chair
man. and the City Hall was frequently
alluded to- All of the men spoke in the
same line of thought, and expressed 1t
as their opinion that II was time TO
call q halt Councilman John l.. Epps
came in during the progress OF the
meeting, and was called upon to speak.
He responded with a few remarks,
stating that those present knew how he
stood, and that he thought II would not
be long before large number of men
would be put to work for the city on the
day-labor plan.
Mr.. Morris was very aggressive in his
he duNOCtttu the tiEplOyIHtllt
of day labor, and ridiculed the action of
the Committee on Retrenchment and Re-
FORM which he said made n recommended
ton whereby 5000 would be saved TO the
city. when he thought II should be S0,-
0C0. He ridiculed the idea of the city's
inability to pay 81 day to workingmen
when the city officials were receiving such
large salaries, In return for which no
labor In proportion was given. He said
he was in favor of cutting down the
salaries Of officials. and commented on
the fact that some Of them used buggies.
Mr. Morris affirmed that the evil should
be corrected, and that the ballot-box was
the place to do 1t. He was thoroughly in
favor of reform, and said ne thought the
men should see that they had their rights
at the ballot-box.
Mr.. Mccullough, Of Manchester. offered
a resolution to the effect that the meet
ing disapprove OF the city giving Its work
out by contract, as II was unjust. I'M
democratic, and unsatisfactory. There
was no second TO the paper. and a sub
stitute was offered that a committee be
appointed from each ward to canvass for
q larger meeting. and that Mr.. McCul-
lough's paper be then voted on. The sub
stitute was adopted.
Just before the meeting closed a stone
cutter began making statement that

as Of a private and personal nature. and
should be dealt with In the stone-cutters

THE SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Mrs. Baker Is Doing Well and Her
Nephew Will Not BE Prosecuted.

1t transpires that the shooting OF Mrs.
Katie Baker by her nephew. Peter Jones,
on the Exposition-Grounds Tuesday af-
ternoon, was entirely accidental, and no
one is more grieved over the sad oc-
curence than the young man. whose care
less handling of the weapon caused 1t.
The wound IS not at all serious. and
even now the lady Is permitted to sit up.
The ball entered the left shoulder just
below the collar-bone, and, striking the
hone. glanced and took a downward
course: but penetrated the flesh only a
short distance. 1t was removed by DR..
Darlington with very little difficulty. and
no serious results are anticipated.
A Dispatch man called at the resi-
dence yesterday morning, and saw Mr..
Il. T. Walton, father OF the wounded lady,
who occupies the position Of superintend-
ent Of the Exposition-G Grounds. 1t was In
his house ON the grounds that the acci-
dent occurred.

He gave the following account OF the
affair. which was vouched for by Mr..
Charles Baker. the husband of the In
jured lady, and the rest of the family.
About o'clock In the afternoon the
boy came into Mrs. Bakers room. where
she and her two little children were,
and began removing the quicksilver
from an old thermometer which he
brought with him. The children, think
ing he was fooling with some explosive.
became frightened, and Mrs. Baker told
Peter to put the thing away. He refused
to do so, and finally she approached and
put her foot on the mercury. This In
censed the boy. and he roughly slapped
his aunts foot. after which he arose.
and q slight scufiie ensued.
About this time the boys uncle came
in and asked Peter II he had struck his
aunt. Although ne had really done mo-
thing Of the kind he nodded assent and
Mr.. Baker started to remove his. coat
with view to giving him = thrashing.
Mrs. Baker expostulated with her hus-
band, and advised him to 50 out and
bring in Mr.. Walton, Peters grand
father. Of whom he stood very much In
fear. This he did. but In the mean time
