saloon, at 1859 First avenue. when they
got into dispute. The stranger. not
wishing to fight, made a hasty exit from
the saloon. Gilroy followed him closely,
and on reaching the street. drew his
revolver and fired.
He missed him and shot CHASER In the
right thigh. Chaser dropped to the side
walk and Gilroy turned and fled. Gil
roy had gone but block when a man
who had witnessed the shooting knocked
him down with a blow on the head with
a bottle. The force of the blow laid open
Gilroy's scalp.
Gilroys scalp was sewed UP at the
Presbyterian Hospital and DR.. SAKE. OF
355 East Seventy street, extracted
the bullet from Glaser's thigh.

climax last spring. when the party on
the splendid yacht Valiant broke up In

where Scott Murray's beautiful estate,
Danesfield, near Henley, on the Thames,
had been rented for her.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 2s.-There Is
considerable excitement here over Col
Breckinridge's latest speech.
Judge Durham, who was SO unmerci-
fully criticized. met Breckenridge on
the street last night and a wordy war
ensued. There was no attempt at hos
tilities by either one. but the exact
language used by them cannot be
learned, as there was only one witness,
and he refuses to talk.
At the Owens Club meeting last
night, in q short speech, Judge Dur
ham said that the speech Of Col. Breck-
inridge referred to was the worst thing
he ever heard come out Of the mouth
of a man. and that he knew that a
gentleman would not make such a
speech.
Judge Morton, who was also criti-
cized by Col. Breckenridge. said he in
TENDED to reply to Breckinridge's speech
last night. but that as he had to
go out Of the city, to be gone two days.
he would postpone It until Friday
night. when he will address the people
at the Court House.

Telesraphers, Blnnders.

There are many errors made in the
transmission of messages which are en-
t!rely uncalied for, but even with these
there is not one blunder made to every
5000 words passing over the wires" said
a telegraph opeIa tor to the Pittsburs
Dlspatch. That IS. OF course, IN the
etors are employed. l don't think the
same can be said of all the branch offices.
An error which has cost the business man
many dollars, and yet for which we can
find no cause. is the mixing of the num-
bers Is and so. There is no excuse for
the error, yet it occurs more frequently

have notices posted above each iustru-
ment concerning it, yet such mistakes will
occur; Words ending IN tn, are ire
quently 'ty, which is very serious when
numbers are beng sent. For instance,
sixty might be rendered sixth or vice
versa. This is caused by the similarity
in the telesrapnic characters for the n
and y. The former is four dots, while
the latter is made by two dots, space, two
dots. A stroke OF lightning or the wind
bringing the wires together, or, perhaps,
the unsteady hand Of the operator, who
sooner or later is affected with 'telegra-
piers paralysis, might separate the four
dots and change sixth into 'sixty.t Some
times the dots stick together and make a
dash, thus a seven, which is two dasl es
ana two dots, may become i've by hay
ing the last two dots stick. making the
character three dashes. Losses Of con-
siderable amounts have frequently been

cannot make a letter H., which is four
dots. They either make five dots, D. or
six dots, s. / have seen some operators
try to make six consecutive dots 10 repre-
sent the number six, and would not be
able to stop short of ten or twelve. This
of course. is caused by the disease There
are many errors that the customer must
take the blame for. Two and ten are most
often mixed on account of careless writ
ing. Then the word can't frequently
has the t. left off, which, of course,
changes the whole sense of the thing.

Perhaps the most ludicrous error which
ever came to my notice." said a well
known operator yesterday, was in a tele-
gram from Atlantic City. 1t was the

Just as brave John Smith reached his

clamation for a dying man, and the op-
orator sent back TO know what was
meant. He was told by the sender that
1t did not mean 'ninety-nifie,' but Lulu
the name of his sweetheart. The character
for 'lu' is dash, two dots and a dash,
which g the same for the number nine.
No wonder he made a mistake.

The President, in letter to Robert L.
Thacher of Albion, N. y. an extract
from which we publish in our dispatches
this morning. says a word or two in behalf
of Senator Huls candidacy for governor.
He says he has sufficient faith in the
democrats of New York to believe that
in the face of the common enemy they
will present a united and solid front.
This isn't much. It is true. but it is enough.
If anything the President could say in
Senator Hills behalf would help him. 1t
indicates that he does not favor the indie
pendent democratic ticket headed by
Wheeler, and that he wants the demo-
Gratis of New York to stand together and
give a united and enthusiastic support to
the regular democratic ticket.
In view of his relations with Senator
Hill it was quite generally believed he
would give no sign that he desired the
senator's success. His letter, coming on
the eve of the election, will have a ten
dency to mako democrats, who have
favored Wheeler, vote for Senator Hin
There is a growing impression that SEN

unless there is a general movement toward
