4 SHOOTING SCRAPE.-On Saturday
night William Madella, colored, who
HIS figured in the Police Court for
many years, attempted to eclipse all
his former exploits by committing a
crime which would have made him q
prospective candidate for the gallows.
Richard Morgan, & colored man, who
rents rooms on Columbus street, be-
tween Gibbon aud Franklin, went
home, and while talking TO woman III
the house they heard pistol shot
which had apparently been fired in the
door. Morgan and the woman became
alarmed. and went TO an upper room
for safety, when Madella entered the
house and approaching the steps called
10 Morgan to come down, pretending
he had business with him. Morgan re-
fused to descend the steps, when Ma
della fired smother shot. Morgan, real
ling he had q dangerous person to deal
with, made his exit through back
window to q shed from which he gaiu-
ed the ground just in time to meet Ma
della. who had repaired to the yard.
Morgan grappled with the desperate
and rammed his head violently against
the side of the house. Madella being
the lighter weight, was soon overpow-
cred and his pistol taken from him.
Morgan then sat astride of the would
be assassin until officer Hayes arrived
and took him in custody. This morn
ing,when brought before Mayor Strauss,
Mslella pretended his pistol was dis
charged accidentally, and that he and
iorgan were good friends. lie was

THREE NAPOLEONs.
New York. Ohio and louisiana
Furnish Them Fairly Well.

New York, Ohio and Louisiana
Furnish Them Fairly Well.
New York Journal
The resemblance between William
Mckinley, of Ohio, is SO celebrated that
the nickname Napoleon has been given
TO the little governor Of Ohio.
But the first of the Bonapartes has
another double, and one that is even
more striking in resemblance. J. FLOYD
King, of Louisiana, is not only natural
~ like Napoleon in feature, but has
developed this similarity by dint OF
long study.
Mr. King has copied Napoleon's dress
and attitudes. He is always tickled to
death when any one tells him he looks
like Napoleon. When talking to any
one he assumes the Napoleon pose with
crossed arms and bent head.
Our own State Treasurer, Addison
B. Coiyin, is another supposed double
of NapoIeon's. He is SO because he
cannot help it. While Mr.. King lOuks
more like Napoleon than Mckinley,
Mr.. Colvin looks more like Mckinley
than Napoleon.
Mr.. Colvin was walking up the cor
ridur of the Fifth Avenue hotel one
evening last fall, when the hotel was
crowded with Republican politicians.
His entry caused sensation. One
New Yorker remarked:
81 thought Governor Mckinley was
out i'll Ohio trying to get Reelected;
but there he is coming H." .
THAT is not Mckinley" replied an
upstate man. THAT is ADD Colvin,
secretary of the state league of Repub-
lican clubs. and our candidate for state
treasurer"
The resemblance between Coivin and
Mckinley is more like that of TWO
brothers, however, with COlvin the
younger OF the two. He is Glens Falls
man, editor Of newspaper up there
and an ardent Republican.
Napoleon Mckinley is said by many
to have met his Waterloo when the
tidal wave of tariff reform swept away
the supporters of his bill and landed
the present congress and president at
Washington; but his friends say he has
many victory yet to win.
The friends of Thomas B. Reed. of
Maine, are saying that if Mckinley
should be elected president he would be
the first ''double" thus honored. Serious
consequences might result. We should
then have to speak of "Doubies and
Their Great Men," instead OF 'Great
Men and Their Doubles"
MIR. Reeds friends say that the reali-

THE LOST ROCKER.
A Bonanza Gold Story From the
Wilds of the Far North.

A Bonanza Gold Story From the
Wilds of the Far North.
Juneau Mining Record.
In the spring of 1876 two miners left
Sitka on prospecting expedition, TAX
NJ course to the southeast. with the
intention of exploring the islands along
their route, but more especially to reach
the mainland and make extensive search
for placer diggings.
Finding the islands barren of good
results, they crossed Chatham Straits to
the mainland and pitched camp at the
mouth of large creek. To their eX-
perieDced eyes the creek bed gave evil
dence of what they were in search of.
1t was strewn with quartz. and on
"panning" the gravel "coIor" was
found. They assembled the stream and,
after two days travelling over powders
and winding through underbrush, they
reached the headWaters of the creek on
the divide. Beyond and below short
distance in the basin lay beautiful
little lake. with small stream empty
ing into it from the west and another
flowing out to the north.
They descended and emcamped on
the margin of the lake. In the little
stream putting into the lake they again

pan ming the gravel, joy filed their
breasts. for they had found a bonanza!
The gravel yielded coarse gold the size
of beans and dollar or more to the
pan. The lucky gold hunters lost no
time in setting to work. One returned
to the beach after the cached supplies,
while the other partner set to work
building rocker. For matter of two
weeks they washed the golden sands
and made occasional trips to their cache
on the beach, with no thought what
ever Of approaching danger, and no in
timation of the horrible tragedy that
was about to occur.
On the eventful day, at about noon,
they were leaving work to prepare
dinner, ambushed savages, who had
tracked the two lone miners from the
beach into The mountains to murder
and to plumber, poured their fire from
behind trees upon them. One was
killed outright, but miraculously the
other was not touched. Seeing his
companion fall, and taking In the
situation at glance. he bounded iato

pursued. and he soon outdistanced his
pursuers, who wers unable to get Ia an

LONDON, Aug. Notwithstanding
the feeling entertained by many Amer
leans in England that the British yacht
ing public has not treated the Vlgilant
in an exactly spurtsmanllke manner.
there is DO difference Of opinion as TO
the attitude of the Prince of Wales
towards the Yankee sloop and her
owners. During the course of the COIL
vprsatiun between the prince and the
officers of the United States cruiser
Chicago on the occasion of the princes
visit 10 the vessel Saturday. his royal
highness referred TO the plucky and
sportsmnnlike qualities displayed by
George Gould. The prince said that he
was anxious that the Britannia should
meet the Vigilanl oh open sea, In order
that the true merits OF the yachts might
be clearly judged. The prince had
seen the boats crew from the Chicago
win the pinuace race from the crews of
the other war ships, and he compll-

sisted that he would surely find the
place and insisted also that the search
be continued, when the party became
angry and threatened 10 hang him to

A short time after their return to
