SHOT AT COL. CRoFTON.
Homicidnl Freak of an Officer Much
the Worse for Liquor.

Homicidnl Freak of an Officer Much
the Worse for Liquor.
Col. R. E. A. Crofton, commander of the
fifteenth infantry at Fort Sheridan, near
Chicago, narrowly escaped death, or at
least severe wound, at the hands of
Lieut. S. S. Pague of company F, fifteenth
infantry, yesterday afternoon. The Eeuten-
ant fred three shots at the colonel. One
passed through a loose fold of his over
coat, just over the right groin, the second
and third passed close to the body.
Lieut.. Pague a few moments before had
escaped from the hospital, where he had
been undergoing treatment for mental
trouble, occasioned, 1t is said, by over-in-
diligence in liquor. At the fort last night
1t was said the lieutenant was not respon-
sible for his act, and that his meeting with
Col. Crofton was a chance meeting
Lieut. Pague some months ago spent sew
eral weeks at a liquor cure establishment.
The noise Of the shots brought several
officers to the spot, and before PagIe fired
again he was seized and disarmed. Ac-
cording to the officers who took MIN IN
charge he did not seem to realize what he
had done, and few moments after did
rot seem to remember that he fired any
shots at all.
Lieut. Pague is about forty years old.
He graduated from West Point about 1870,
and has seen active service in the west
He is considered an able officer.

Why Jumbo Was Attached.

From the Providence Journal.
1t was eight or nine years ago, and the
cars containing the animals were unloaded
near the Canal street freight house. The
animals were guided across Exchange place
by attendants. and the elephants went
along very peaceably.
They hadn't gone a great distance, how
ever, when Jumbo's back began to itch
The big elephant tried to reach the place
with his trunk but didn't manage to. So
he stepped from the lipe and looked for
some suitable place against which to rub
his back. There were two objects in sight,
big Flagstaff and Paddy Burns shanty,
which stood in the rear of the Three Ones
fire station. Jumbo picked out the shanty,
and by the time he had relieved his feelings
things inside were upside down, and the
building had nearly been removed from its
foundations and showed into the water.
Paddy Burns looked fer a lawyer, and
found the late Ambrose E. West The at
torney Issued writ and gave it to deputy
sheriff. with instructions to attach Jumbo
The officer presented the paper to the
treasurer of the circus, and then took up
position near the elephant, but out of the
reach of the swing Of his trunk.
The bill for damages was promptly set
tied, but the officer said aftelwar that if
the animal had decided to walk away he
hadn't t. any idea how he could have pro-
ceeded to enforce the law by compelling
him to remain.

attended the great gathering Of the Catho-
lie clergy in Washington this week than
has Bishop ]. J. Keane. the rector OF the
Catholic University. The opening of Nc

sources of the university in educational
work, but its Inauguration with the attend

upon whom devolved the management of
the thousand and one details which go to
make such an affair a success. Speaking of
tie matter with a Star reporter. Bishop
Keanc SAID:
THE present week, marking, as it did,
the opening of the new hall and the meet
ing of the eucharistic congress. was awaited
by us not without some apprehension. Yet
" hen the business of the week got fairly
started, 1t seemed to run itself, SO thor
oughly were all those present imbued with
a sense OF its Importance and meaning. 1
think l may say that everything went off
with surprising smoothness, and that tine
present week will lie long remembered in
the Catholic world.
1.-The opening of Mcmahon Hall and the
Inauguration Of the new schools of study
mark an epoch in the history of education
In this country. At the opening exercises
Tuesday afternoon President Gilman of
Johns Hopkins University occupied a seat
upon the platform and seemed to take the
greatest interest in everything pertaining
to our work. He was so impressed by the
Importance of the occasion that upon his
return to Baltimore he sent me q letter
written in the most enthusiastic terms. He
said that in his opinion October 1, 1885,
marked an epoch in the development of
cur character. The expression of such
broad and noble views were voiced on
that occasion by the different speakers
men Of the highest character and standing
in the educational world. was an event the
Importance Of which could not be exag-
gerated.
THE opening of the new schools of phil
osophy and the social sciences has already
attracted about forty students to the uni
versity. This is, of course apart from the
attendance upon the divinity school, which
is entering now on its seventh year, and
is a number considerably in advance of
anything that we had been led to expect
LAS to the congress CT the Eucharistic
League, that is a matter of which / can
speak only with the deepest feeling of ad-
miration. AS gathering of tine clergy
drawn together solely and only by a desire
to advance Gods kingdom on Garth and by
devotion to His holy sacrament it can
but result in a blessing to the church and
to the city. There was nothing of the
worldly or political in their deliberations,
ard there Is no man, whatever his creed
may be. who can take exception to such
gathering or criticize its motives The
congress was actuated solely by love and
devotion to the Eucharistic Lord. and any
attempt to attach political significance to
