HE HAD A PISTOL.
A Horse Trainer Brings 1t Across the
River and Gets Six Months.

River and Gets Six Months.
About 6 o'clock last evening the hangers
on and toughs about the Alexander Island
race track thought they were having fine
sport when they witnessed a shooting af-
fray between William Canty and Thomas
jackson, young colored men. None of the
bullets took effect. 1t appeared that CAVITY
had superseded jackson as a trainer at one
Of the stables, and this what caused
the trouble between them When the shoot
ing was over Canty came across the bridge
and brought his pistol with him. He was
: followed across the river, and when on
Pennsylvania avenue he was arrested by
Policeman Sutton who took the pistol from
him.
When Canty appeared before Judge Mills
this morning he endeavored to show that
he was not a criminal, and he had an idea
that he had violated no law. Unfortunately
for the colored man, Judge Mills was not Of
the same opinion.
In disposing Of the case Judge Mills said
it was matter of some regret that there
is not a place where the carriers Of
weapons can go and them on each
other. AS there is no such place designated
the judge said he could do nothing but
send him to Jail. A sentence of six months
was imposed.

A colored baby, apparently about a year
old, was abandoned yesterday in the build
ing at 501 D street northwest, formerly &C.
cupied as the headquarters of the police
department. 1t is supposed that the boy
baby was left there by a colored woman,
probably the infants mother colored
woman with an infant in her arms was
seen strolting along the sidewalk in front
of the Police Court. She watched the court
building as if she wanted to deposit her
offspring in the temple of justice, but she
was unable to enter without being seen,
and SO she went to the building mentioned.
The child had evidently been in the room
for two hours before its cries attracted the
attention of persons who have offices in
the building. Then an officer was sent
from police headquarters and the child was
turned over to Agent Lewis of the board
of childrel's guardians.

MIR. ADDICNS REPLIES.
Tells Senator WnshbHrn He Made
Delaware Republican.


The explanation sent by ex-senator
Washburn of Minnesota of his interview
regarding ]. Edward Addicks, in which he
declared that the other ought to be killed
politically, has ELECTED the following dis
patch from Mr.. Addicks:
ITO Hon. w. d. Wasaburn. Minneapolis:
For public man, your words We're Ill
chosen and might have inspired some
crank to do murder. You evidently do not
understand Delaware 3politics Wisely in
vestigate before foolishly Grating. Ninety
per cent of Delaware republicans are with
me today My assistance and three
years fight carried Delaware for the re-
publican party last year. All pledges to
me were broken. The Higgins machine
made fraudulent nominations. Repeating
the events in June. Wilmington showed
them under and that machine was de-
servedly annihilated by the people. The
small factions pledged TO Massey preach
ed and practiced lreaclery and are now
homeless. The election of a republican
Senator other than Addcks would have
left Delaware hopelessiy democratic for
a generation. The republicans will carry
Delaware next year, pledged to Addcks for
Senator l made Delaware republican. l
am no politician. If the republican party
is the party of tseachery l will help bury
it ten thousand fathoms deep. In con-
clusion, Delaware republicans notify all
hotheaded outsiders that they propose
to manage their own affairs.
