ALOAD OF SHOT IN HISBACK
A COlOTed Boy Killed by the Acct
dental Discharge Of a Gun.

Richard Washington the Victim Of a
Observation-Disclosures Acct
dent-Harry Allen, a White Boy,
Had the Gun When It Was Dis
charged, and Was Dragging 1t Up
the Steps of His Home.
Richard Washington. a 14-year-old col
ored boy, was fatally wounded yesterday
afternoon about O'Clock by the discharge
of a gun in the hands of Harry Allen, an
1l-year-old white boy.
The boys were playing with the gun,
and, as usual, did not know it was loaded.
Washington was employed by Samuel
Finklea, Harry Aliens stepfather,
a baker living at No. 81 Sims street,
near the Ogeechee canal. Finklea went
out hunting yesterday morning and re-
turned late in the afternoon. He entered
by the back way on his return, and gave
his gun TO the colOred boy to put up.
Harry was with him, and like all boys
where firearms are concerned, wanted to
handle the gun. Washington, thinking
the gun was not loaded, gave it to him
and told him to carry it into the house.
The boy, who is small for his age,
started up the steps into the house
dragging the gun after him. He had the
gun by the stock with the muzzle point
ing behind him. The gun was of the
hammerless variety and the boy probably
caught hold Of the triggers with his
fingers. The result was that the
gun was discharged, the full
load striking Washington, who was
standing a few feet away with his
back to Allen, full in the back. Wash
parents at Indian and Lumber streets,
where he died about 9 o'clock
last night. DR.. w. E. Comm was
called to attend him, but the wounds
were mortal and it was i'm
possible to do anything beyond relieving
his sufferings. The charge of small shot
at such close quarters tore a fearful hole
in the boys back.
Harry Allen was arrested by Mounted
Officer r. w. Baughn and taken
to the police barracks, where
he spent the night. To
MORNING News reporter who saw him
at the barracks last night he told in
very straightforward manner of the oc-
currenCe, his account of the shooting be-
ing substantially as told above
As the shooting was undoubtedly acct
dental he will doubtless be released this
morning. A cOroner's inquest will prob
ably be necessary, however. to establish
the fact that the shooting was accidental
The inquest will probably be held this
morning.

NO CHARGES MADE YET.
Postmaster Haines May Appee
a IL, az pnlinnr.,n,, G.n..aa..

Postmaster Haines May Appear
Against Policeman Spencer.
There is some curiosity to know
whether Postmaster Haines will appear
in the police court this morning to prefer
charges against Policeman Spencer for
conduct unbecoming an officer. The po-
liceman arrested Willie Thomas, a little
negro boy on Bull street for annoying
ladies by running up to them and per
sistently begging and catching hold of
their dresses with his dirty hands.
The boy has made himself quite a
nuisance and has been complained of be-
fore. Postmaster Haines, who was pres
emit, demonstrated with the officer for ar
resting such small boy. Policeman
Spencer, it was claimed replied
in disrespectful manner Mr.
Haines went to see Recorder Viii
son about the matter, and the latter
ordered the boys release on the condition
that he should appear in court the next
morning He did not appear, however,
and his rearrest was ordered by the re-
corder. Detective Bosseu arrested
Thomas at the home of his father in
Yamacraw, and the case will be heard
this morning.
1t is understood that if charges are pre-
ferred against Policeman Spencer by Mr..
Haines, that the officer will retaiate by
entering a charge against Mr.. Haines for
interfering with an officer in the dis
charge of his DUTY.

all militia districts in the county. and
the choice of members of the committee
is left 10 these meeting. IL viii be seen
/ that the committee under the resolution
consists of thirtv-three mem bers instead
Of twenty-five as IL did before this prim-
airy system was inaugGrated.
The new committee then takes charge
of the primary and provides how it shall
be held. The present executive commit
tee is as follows.
Chairman-Walter C. Charlton.

NO MEMBER FROM THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
1t will be seen that no representatives
were elected for the seventh militia dis
trict. that district having failed to act in
mass meeting June 3, 1892 the date the
other meetings were held throughout the
county.
The committee held a meeting June 30,
1892 and made arrangements for the pri-
mary of that year. A resolution was
passed at that meeting providing for the
manner in which the primary should be
conducted. The primary was held July
25, 1892, and there is no reason why it
should be put of any later this year.
In fact it could if there were any neCes-
sity be held much earlier.
The new registration law will not make
any changes necessary, as the list of the
registered voters is to be published June
IA, ten days after the registration closes.
Only white democratic voters qualified to
vote in the regular elections are allowed
to vote in the primary.
There are to be chosen by the primary,
six delegates to the democratic state con-
viention, six delegates to the next con-
gressional convention for this district,
six delegates to the senatorial convention
for this senatorial district, and three
candidates for membership in the
House of Representatives. The
delegates chosen are not instructed
by the primary, but each side
puts forward delegates who are favorable
TO that side Chairman Charlton will
proba bly, take hold of the matter the lat
ter part of this week, and the daUe will
be named for the holding of the mass
meetings in the different militia districts.

THE HAIL A LOCAL ONE.

It Came in a Narrow Felt on a Linz
With the Northern Part Of the City.
The severity of the hail storm of night
before last made it a phenomenon of an
unusual nature and there were many in
quiries yesterday as to whether it had
done much damage to the crops, especially
the truck crop, which is known to be
rather delicate vegetation.
The popularity OF the hail storm was
that it was confined to a rather narrow
belt along the river front and more in the
northern rart of the city. Mai Ryals'
truck farm, which is just to the south
west of the city, escaped unin jured. The
blow in that section was rather a hard
one for minute or two, however, and
though there was no hail near where Maj.
Ryals lives, when he saw the report of
the hail storm yesterday morning he
was naturally alarmed and went out TO
see II II had done any damage to his
crops. He was much relieved, however
to ind that there had been no hail what
ever on his farm. He has large acreage
IN beans, tomatoes and cuCumbers, which
would readily have been damaged by
hail, but not leaf had been disturbed.
which showed that even the hard wind
had done them no damage.
Maj. Ryals says there will not be more
than half a crop of potatoes in this section
this year. The late cold spell is the cause
for this condition of affairs. From a little
less than three acres off which he OBJ
tanned about 200 barrels last year of ex-
cellent tubers, he dug this year only l05
barrels, and he says they were of rather
poor quality.
Mr.. EXley's and Mr. Fell's truck farms
were in the section traversed by the hail
storm and it is thought that their truck
suffered considerably as a consequence.
There are other small truck farms in that
section, which is just west of the city ex-
change. On Mr.. Exley's place the hail
fell In great abundance and MIR EXley,
while he did not visit his farm yesterday
to see what the damage was said he had
no doubt that it would be quite extenive.
de has had no reports from his
farm, but will 90 out to-
day to make an investigation.
A plant from near the Central railroad
wharves was brought to the MORNING
News Yesterday. The leaves were cut
and shredded as if a knife had been
drawn through them.
There is no doubt that the truck in the
region of the hail storm was considerably
damaged, but the question is, how far did
the hail eXtendl 1t probably knocked off
some of the fruit, too, wherever it struck.
According to the forecast for today the
weather is still in an unsettled state, and
will be attended by showers and thunder
storms IN this section. a cooler tempera-
ture is predicted for tonight or tomorrow
morning.

BAKING POWDER.
THIMBLE R1GeERs AT WORK.
The Old Game Successfully Played al
TYbee.

Tybee.
Quite an excitement was created on
Tybee beach yesterday afternoon by a
couple of fakirs with the old thimble rig
game of the shells and the pea. Suckers
were plentiful, and the old racket of
now you see it and now you don't"
worked to a charm. The fakirs are said
to have taken in as much as 500.
The walls of the sufferers were loud and
long, and reports of what was going on
were carried to Mayor Butler He very
promptly ordered the arrest of the swim
dlers, but the latter got wind Of the order
and made themselves scarce. Mayor
Butler boarded the returning trains to
the city in company with an officer and
made a search for the swindlers. A
telegram was sent to Chief Green to have
Detectives Bossell and Hanley meet the
trains, and arrest the parties. This was
done, but the principal swindler could not
be found. One man, a stranger, giving
his name as Thos Moore, who is believed
to have been implicated in the matter,
was arrested and locked up The police
professed not to know the name of the
principal swindler last night, but said
they expected to catch him to-day.
For the benefit of the unitia ted it is
well to state that the pea and the shell
game is a dead open ana shut swindle.
The pea never goes under shell a + all
except when a Capper comes up to make
his play, but is caught up between the
fingers of the manipulation, being merely
a little ball of bluff. so that there is never
any possible chance of winning.
