The Customers Had Fun.

LANCASTER, Pa, August 23.-An amusing
strife took place yesterday and last evening
in Columbia among several merchants whose
stores are close together. One of the num-
Der had made ''cut'' in overalls and cheap
trousers. The others followed his example,
and. being excited. prices were numerically
slashed, until by evening 75-cent overalls were
going in large numbers at cent pair.
Crowds collected at the stores and remained
until the 'cut'' goods were all sold.
Two storekeepers of Selma. Ala, have been
engaged in a novel warfare for some weeks,
and at las; accounts both were getting appre-
hensive as to the further developments of the
contest The trouble was started by one
merchant making small present of cakes OF
candy to customers in order 10 attract trade.
The other merchant across the street promptly
served lemonade Then followed, from first
one and then the other, cigars, ice cream,
sandwiches, soup and an elaborate free lunch.
Last week one merchant played his trump
card by holding big free barbecue, serving
out three carcasses of beef and one hundred
loaves Of bread.

YOUNG BOY SHOT.

Samuel Matheny Probably Fatally In
= jured Yesterday Afternoon.
Z Another probably fatal accident oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon through the
careless handling Of pistol. The vic.
tim Was Samuel Matheny, 10 years old,
who lives with his mother on Center
street, near Park street northwest
Herbert Kerlin, also about 10 years Of
age, did the shooting. Matheny made
o statements after he was shot. in which
he declared that the affair was purely
accidental. lie said that young Kerlin
had q pistol in his hand and was trying
to lower the hammer. He (Matheny)
started toward him when the weapon
WAS discharged The bullet entered the
lower bowels, infiicting very danger.
GUS II not fatal wound. The shooting
occurred In the yard back Of Mrs. Me-
theny's house.
The wounded boy was carried into the
house and physicians summoned. Efforts
were made to locate the ball, but they
were unsuccessful. An operation was
performed last night by Drs. c. G.. Can
naday and Lawrence, assisted by DR..
Brown. 1t was Rscertained that the
lining OF the stomach had been torn,
and the chances are very much against
his recovery. At 1890 o'clock this
morning he was resting as quietly as
could be expected, but very slight hopes
pre- entertained for his recovery. The
fboy who did the shooting has not been
arrested.
