Fatally Shoots His Successful Rival when
About TO BE Married.
BROOKLYN. Jan. 15--There was murder
attempted at wedding last evening at
81 Main street, when Andreao Santana, 20
years old, the bridegroom, was shot and
probably fatally wounded by Domingo
Figaro, 20 years old. disappointed suitor
for the hand of Marie Desante, who was
the bride of the evening. All the parties
are Spaniards.
Santana and Figaro lived at the house
where Miss Desante was boarding mis-
tress. Both men were very attentive to
her and when she favored Santana
Figaro was furiously jealous and threat
ened to kill his rival. Rev Mr.. Mozer of
the johnson Street Methodist church
came to marry Desante and Santana. The
marriage took place in room opposite to
that occupied by Figaro. As the bride
and groom came into the hall Figaro ap-
peared on the scene, and, pulling re-
volver, fired three shots.
Two of them struck Santana In the
head. Santana fell while the wedding
guests rushed at the would-be-murdere
and disarmed him. Great excitement
prevailed. Figaro was hurried TO Jail and
the wounded man was taken to the city
hospital where, 1t il said, there is little
hope Of his recovery. The bride was rem
dered unconscious by the shock.

Garment Workers Of Boston Likely to BE
Locked Out by Contractors.

Locked Out by Contractors
BosToN, Jan. 15.-There Is probability
that 800 readymade clothing workers OF
this city will be locked out. large ma
jority of this craft are members OF the
United Garment Workers of America and
are attached to the American Federation
of Labor. Some few weeks ago the
Knights OF Labor formed an assembly OF
this trade and since that time there has
been considerable rivalry between the two
organizations. Last week the contractors
working for a large wholesale house here
notified their employees, who are all mem
bers of the United Garment Workers
union, that they must join the Knights OF
Labor. The employees state that they are
perfectly satisfied with their present or
ganization, and at a meeting yesterday IL
was decided to refuse to join the Knights
Of Labor This action is expected TO cause
a lockout, and should this be the case it
will start warfare between trades or
ganizations in nearly every branch of in-
dustry in this city.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-John ID. Town
send, chairman OF the Independent
County organization, has issued an ad'
dress attacking the business methods of
Tammany Hall and the administration Of
Mayor Gilroy and Commissioner DAILY OF
the department ofpublic works. The ad-
dress sets forth that it is proposed to spend
about S2,000,0o0 on asphalt paving this
year, and charges that the mayor and
commissioners are not proper persons to be
entrusted with the expenditure of so
much money, in view of past events.
1t is alleged that collusion must have
existed for some time between the de-
partment of public works and the Barber
Paving company, whereby the latter have
secured many rich contracts Chairman
Townsend urges the establishment of a
new department to take charge of the
street expenditures in New York city and

SCRANTON. Pa, Jan. 15.--Martin Joyce,
who for the past several years has been
employed as principal of the public school
at Lackawanna township, has turned the
school into fort, which he defends with
the aid of two large revolvers. Principal
Joyce had frequent complaints made
against him to the school directors. It is
alleged that he gave grave offense to the
female portion OF his school. Last week
this school board notified him that he
would not be employed after Thursday.
Joyce took possession Of the school build

revolvers, with which he has thus far
created nough fear to prevent election.
1t is customary to hold Sunday school in

Thought He Could Jump.

A young man the other day got an UNI
brella where the bottle got the cork--in
the neck. This young man is one of
those fellows who can readily explain to
you that nothing that any one else can
do is really as difficult as it appears. He
joined a local gymnasium not long ago,
and after watching the members once or
twice going through their exercises came
away with the feeling that he was a full
fedged athlete. Walking on East Court
street alongside of the Jail. he espied two
women ahead of him walking abreast
and carrying basket of freshly washed
clothes between them. The street being
narrow at this point, they took up the
full width. The young man, being in a
hurry, thought he could save time by
jumping over the basket, but his calcu-
lation was not acute enough, and he
kicked some of the wash off. After
walking few steps he turned around to
ascertain the result of his maneuver and
was just in time to see an umbrella
hurled at him by the unerring aim of an
enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but
was too slow.-Cincinnati Commercial

Paderewski as a Hard Worker.

To be pet of the public sometimes
has its disadvantages. NJ. Paderewski,
for instance, keeps up his reputation only
at the cost of tremendous efforts. To
an interviewer for Black and White he
has confded the fact that he practices
at the piano often for 10 or 16 hours a
day. Once, in New York, he had to work
up eight entirely distinct programmes in
little over as many days, and then it was
a case of II hours practice daily. One
must always be at 1t, he explains, to
keep the fingers right and the memory
active. The work is certainly firing,
and M. Paderewski considers that play
ing billiards. game he is very fond of
has saved his life by affording him the
necessary relief from his arduous work.
Those crashing blows of his on the
piano are not, as some might imagine,
made with the closed fist. Sometimes
they are done with the third finger stiff
ened out, sometimes with the thumb
sideways He seems to see nothing Won
derful in the effect produced, although
his hands are so delicate that an ordi-
narily firm shake makes him vince. 1t
is true that he has a forearm such as
professional strong man might envy, so
perfect is it in its muscular develop
ment.-London Daily News.

AN UNFORTUNATE HORSE.
Run Down by a Train and Has to
be Shot.

AS a special train to Eva was
running at a moderate rate of
speed last evening, three horses
were seen on the track ahead. A
warning whistle had the effect of
causing two of them to leave the
track, but one ran ahead of the
train, keeping in the middle of the
road bed. He was running well
and seemed to have a good chance
for life, when he came to a ditch
over which the ties were laid with
an open space between them. He
stopped, stood still for a moment,
and was suddenly lifted into the
air and deposited at the side of
the track by the cowcatcher of the
engine.
The train was stopped and the
horse found to have two of his legs
broken. As it was impossible for
the animal to recover, Deputy
Marshal Brown, who CHANGED to be
one of the passengers, humanely
put the suffering brute out of his
pain by shooting him.
