A NEGRO AND 4 PISTOL.
Damage to the Mexican
Population.
Four Men Are Wounded by the
Darkey.
Santos Quijada May Not SURVIVE
The Shooter Is Held Under
Bail.

The people in the neighborhood of
First and Monroe streets we're, early
yesterday morning, startled out of
their sleep by several pistol shots.
Several who were up and heard the
shots hurried to the scene, which was
in front of the Roma saloon, a Mexi-
can resort. On the ground were lying
two Mexicans, bleeding profuse,y from
bullet wounds
The injured men were carried to
their homes, and the author of the deed
also went home.
No one notified the police until late
yesterday morning.
Deputy Constable Joe Porterie went
to the home of Santos Quijada, one of
the men who was shot. The wounded
man was suffering great pain and he
appeared to be fatally shot. Porterie
sent for physician, who made an ex-
animation of the wound. The ball had
entered the left side of the man and
Travelled upwards, lodging near the

Helm.
The other Mexican who was shot
on the back of the head by bullet
which pierced his right ear. His
wound, although painful, is in no wise
dangerous.
From the wounded men and other
Mexicans who were present when the
deed was committed, it was learned
that Isaac Mac Pinion, colored man,
employed as a cook by Judge Ainsworth
was responsible for the firing of the
shots.
The stories told by the prisoner and
witnesses say that Pinion was present
in the Roma saloon while two Mexi-
cans were fighting. Some of those as
sembled attempted to interfere and
stop the fight, but Pinion jumped up
and told them ito stand back and let
them fight it out. They did not do SO
and Pinion drew a pistol from his
pocket, saying, IT'S an easy matter for
me to kill few people" and com
menced firing into the crowd and only
desisted when his gun was empty.
Pinion's version of the story is that
he had attended the theater and was
passing the saloon on his way home,
when suddenly three men assaulted
him and he drew his revolver, firing
in self-defense
He was placed under $500 bonds to
await the action of the grand jury,
Judge Ainsworth standing his Sc
curity. Judge Ainsworth gives the
young fellow a good reputation, as
does Perry Wildman of Tempe who
had at one time also employed him.

PATRC..-4. iv JAPAN,
An Instance of Their UnseIfish Love for
Country,

In Japan there lives native scholar
and writer than whom no one has done
moro toward introducing education and
civilization into his country. Repeat
edly he has refused both titles and re-
munerative offices.
This man, says the Youths Compan-
ion, had never sought for wealth, but
he had acquired during long life of
usefulness a moderate sum for his sup
port IN later years ten thousand
dollars in our money. When the war
with China broke out he at once gave
this money to his government as his
contribution toward the war expenses,
saying that individuals must make sac
ritices for the cause OF patriotism.
This splendid example of love for the
native land illustrates the intensity of
the patriotic spirit in Japan The gen
eral bsence of this unselfshness in
China has been one cause of her de-
feat. Office has been used to satisfy
personal greed. The government has
been feared and cheated, not loved and
strengthened.
A japanese student in this country,
talking with an American, said naively:
in Japan I was a Christian; here 1 do
not know what l am. | do not under
stand your young men. They do not
want to do anything for the country.
They want to make money, or get to
congress, or marry rich widows and go
to Europe. In Japan every young man
wants to do something for the country"

O lovely nymph that glides along,
our beputcous vale. so free;
Sing on thy wild melodous song
Tn listening now to thee;
oh wake once more the woeful strain
Tint oft hath soothed my soul,
And will come and view again
Thy crystal wavelots roll.
Beneath grim Winters chilly blast
] stand and see thee glide,
In hoary grandeur rolling past
Among the meadows wide;
Thy lovely banks are frostbound now,
Though oft I've seen them CLEAN
In the golden Summers tinted glow
And Springs celestial beam.
The woodland warblers all have gone
TO other climes to sing,
And left thee here to pine alone
For the sweetest smiles of Spring.
Thy woe forbear-they'll come again
Enwreathed with fragrant flowers;
They'll deck thy banks and wake the
strain
OF love amid thy bowers.
Roll on, O Lnckawanna, dear,
Thy winding course among
The snowcapped hill and valleys clear;
I'm listening to thy song.
Anon, the joyful Spring will wreathe
Thy form with roses fair,
And, wondrous beauty fondly breathe
Thy fragrance to the air

A PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.
General Marriott Saved from Instant
Death in u Strange Manner.

GeucraI Marriott Saved from Instant
Death in a Strange Manner.
In his recently published memoirs,
General Marriott, who took part In near
ly every one of Napoleon's campaigns,
describes u terrible plight in which
he once found himself, and relates how
he managed to eXtricate himself by an
almost incredible display of moral and
physical energy. He was charging the
Austrians at the head of numerous
squadrons when his horse was killed
under him and fell, dragging him down
in its fall. All his cavalry passed over
him without touching him, which is
not surprising, as a horse, unless
wounded or tired out, generally avoids
trcading ON human bodies
He began to think he was safe, when
he perceived the French regiments re-
turning at full gallop, pursued in their
turn by the full strength of division
of Uhlans. General Marriott saw clear
ly that if he did not cOntrivc to keep
pace, on foot, with his hOrsemcn, he
would be cut down without mercy, The
thought Of certain death Increased his
strength n hundred fold. He held up
his hands, which were grasped by two
cuirassers, who, dragging hinralong by
giant strides between their horses, con-
veyed him at length to IL place of
