SHOT At A CHARIvABI.-Joseph Davis,
Thomas Ward, and Albert Chapman, with
Others, went out to serenade with fish horns
and tin pans Charles Osier, who was married
on Saturday night at Cottreyille, Mich. They
carried the usual instruments of a CHAIRMAN
party. When they reached the house they
set up their discordant noise and refused TO
obey Osiers orders to 60 away. Then two
brothers of the bridegroom, Henry and John
Osier, threw open the front door of the house
and blazed away with two shotguns.
AS result of this fusilade Davis, Ward,
and Chairman fell to the ground, and the rest
ran away. When the Osier boys saw the
damage they had done they drove for doc
tor and that doctor spent all day yesterday
in picking the salt and shot out of the young
mems legs and backs.
All stories agree that the bridegroom had
nothing to do with the shooting, and his two
Young brothers, who are now locked up, ad-
nit that they fired one shot each into the
crowd of serenaders, which at the time was
not more than twenty feet away. The doc.
tors cav there is very little chance Of any of
the three recovering. The Osiers declare
that they twice ordered the parties to leave
before they fired.

WEDNESDAY EVENING SEPT. II, 1894

GENERAL WALKER, recently demo-
crat. but now the republican candidate
for Congress in the 9th district of this
State, is for the repeal of the State cleo
ton law, and for high tariff, free silver
of 16 to /, and the abolition of the In
ternal revenue tax, including OF course
that on incomes. Many wiser men
than General Walker are, as ne 49, OPP
nosed to the election law, as they are
70 all other isms imported here from
the North but that radical change
has come over the spirit of his dreams
within the last few years in respect OF
the other three planks of his PLATFORM
is plain to be seen. How an intelligent
man, a democrat until passed middle
ags can advocate tariff that favors a
few at the expense of the many, can
support coinage bill that would pay
the laborer with money intrlnslcaliy
worth only fifty cents in the dollar !,
though the silver mine owners would
get dollar for every fifty cents worth
of his product, and can advise the re-
moval of the tax on such lu1uries rs
whisky and tobacco, and that on the
comes of millionaires, but the reteI.
ton of that on the poor mans nee'
essaries of life, is among the many
things that no fellow can find out.

RESTORATION FROM AN ELECTRIC
SHocK.-The European edition of the
N. Y. Herald reports an interesting case
of the restoration of a man to life after
apparent death from an electric cur
rent. 1t states that "a workman, after
having been subjected for several
minutes to the action of current Of
1880 volts and of 6fty-five period
frequency, was brought to life in few
minutes by artificial respiration and
rhvthmical fractions of the tongue,
although three-quarters of an hour
interviewed before the arrival of medi-
cal aid"
This report will encourage efforts to
restore persons who have received an
electric shock or have been stricken by
lightning. In such cases the result may
appear at first sight to have been al
most instantly fatal, when in reality
there has been no destructive lesion,
but only a stoppage OF breathing and
syncope. Our foreign medical cores
pondent therefore points out the value
of the restorative measures used with
persons apparently drowned, and re-
Gently described in our European edi-
ton.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. l2.-The
contest for the congressional nomina-
ton in the Ashland district is most ex-
citing. The sensation of the past twen-
ty- four hours was the speech Monday
night of Rev. R. L. McReady, of Grace
Episcopal Church. He has been life
long friend and admirer of Col. Brock
inridge, but says that he can follow
him no longer. He said he had heard
Col. Breckenridge speak at the unveil-
ing of a monument erected to the Con-
federate veterans at Lexington. When
he pointed to the newly made grave OF
his wife, and, paying her memory a
touching tribute, said all his hopes laid
buried. According to his own con-
fession," said the minister, "he was
then carrying on his shameless inter
course with the Pollard woman.
GEORGETOWN, KY, Sept. Eff one
could judge OF the result of the ap-
preaching congressional election by the
sentiment in this locality, W. G. Owens
would receive the nomination by an
overwhelming plurality. This being
the home of Owens, the people are
nearly united in his support. The re-
cent action of the district committee in
applying new test of democracy has
caused the supporters of Mr.. Owens to
redouble their efforts in his behalf.
Mr.. Owens has issued proclamation
deprecating the action of the convention
and says: with all earnestness 1 beg
you not to let yourselves in moment
of resentment do what in all time to
come you will regret. but like free men
as you are, 60 to the polls and manfully
exercise the highest right of citizenship
in the interest ofour party, the good
name and honor of Kentucky and our
common country. Have no misgiving
of the result, the victory is assured"

DIVORCED Wife's Revenge.


Clarence w. Clark, prominent
member of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, is lying almost at
the point of death in Philadelphia at
the house of q friend, seriously wound
ed by a pistol shot at the hands of his
divorced wife. The divorce was grant
ed in New York last Tuesday, and
Clark was on his way 10 San Francisco
when his wife attacked him. Before,
during and after the trial she is said to
have made threats against him, but he
succeeded in eluding her until Sunday
last. They were married seven years
ago. She was Susie Lawrence, and
lived in New York.
Divorce proceedings were begun two
years ago, aud were on statutory
grounds, and the trial was sensational
10 a great degree. Clark is thirty
wears old, and his wife is twenty-five.
He is one of the four committeeman OF
the Brotherhood and his rank is next
to that of Grand Chief Arthur. For
two months he was at the White Noun
tains, New Hampshire, where he was
very i'll, and on Sunday was about to
start for San Francisco to take charge
of the affairs of his order on the Pacific
slope, and especially to look after the
troubles on the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN.
At the Grand Central Station, New
York, be encouraged his wife, and she
made threats. To elude her he chang
ed his plans and went to Jersey City
and boarded an express train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad for Philadel-
phia. Intending to proceed thence for
Chicago and the far West. To Engi-
neer Young, of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad, be said
that when he left the Grand Central
Station he knew that he left his former
| wife behind. Therefore, he was not
prepared to encounter her on the train,
and, in fact, he didn't know that she
was anywhere near until the train slow
ed up to make the stop at Newark.
| Then she suddenly entered the car IN
which he was riding and shot at him
point blank at short range with a
| pistol. The Dali enUereu us Ieio e'ue
below the lung. The woman as sud
denly left the car, and, stepping OIL,
was lost in the crowd at the station. 1t
happened so suddenly that the con-
ductor knew nothing of it until the
train had started, and he brought the
wounded man to Philadelphia. He
knew Clark, and telegraphed ahead to
friends there, and they met the train
and took him home in carriage. A
physician, DR.. W. e. Elnon, who was
on his way to Washington, took care OF
Clark, and interrupted his journey at
that point tc see him safe at the home
of his friends. The bullet was So
caliber, and it was successfully extract
ed yesterday, and it is probable that
Clark will recover, though this is not
certain. His escape is certainly mar
velous. 1t is his intention, his 1rlends
say, to have the woman arrested and TO
prosecute her. Engineer Young, how
ever, says that he thinks Clark will re,
sign his Office in the brotherhood, and
accept situation with some Western
road, so that he can more easily guard
against her vengeance.

THE "high" politics of the North
have long been in view. Those of the
South have recently been exhibited by
the fact that democratic Senators and
Representatives from Louisiana, who,
of course, wouldn't dream of such a
thing if they were not confident that
they are supported therein by the dem
ocrats of that State, have determined
to withdraw from the democratic, and
Join the republican party, and thereby
revive the force bill, not because of OPP
position to any of the principles OF the
former, but solely for the reason that
the democratic majority in Congress
would not tax the people of the whole
country in order to raise money to
give the sugar planters of their State a
bounty. But wise men are not sur
prised at this; for they, like the worthy
and efficient Mayor of this city, know
what politics are, though they may not
define them in such expressive Ian
guage as he once did.

which lived in the block, was buried in
the debris. Two of them were fatally
hurt.
There was an epidemic of fires in
Williamsburg, N. Y, in the early hours
this morning. There was an aggregate
of perhaps 100000 damage done and 8
number of narrow escapes. Three fire
men of Greenpoint were injured, one Of

ness. The fears arising from these
cases have been allayed. An examina-
ton made at Hoffman's Island by DR..
Jenkins has shown that the complaint
was not cholera, as was at first believed.

THE VAIN attempt of the cuckoos to
attribute the immense falling off in the
democratic vote at the recent elections
to the imposition Of the sugar tax OF
the German bill is ridiculous,i in view OF
Mr.. Cleveland's own words on the sub
iect, as contained in his famous letter to
Mr.. Wilson, which are as follows: u
suggest that We ought not to be driven
away from the democratic principle
and policy which lead to the taxation
of sugar by the fear, quite likely e1-
aygerated, that in carrying out this
principle and policy we may indirectly
and Unfortunately encourage combina-
ton of sugar refining interests" Mr..
Cleveland, and not the sugar tax, which
he favors, is the cause of the decrease
in the democratic vote.

GRAND MASTER SARGENT, of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Firemen. says
it would be more conducive to the
welfare of labor if its leaders would
"put away all selfshness and put oil
the cloak of hypocrisy that is worn by
50 many and let their minds be centred
upon the needy people, and not upon
an Office they hope to reach" In free
countries there should be neither labor
nor capital leaders, but as there are, it
is we'll that among the former there are
such men as Mr.. Sargent, that is pro-
vided their followers adopt their advice
and obey their orders.
