Revolver.

The Revolver Explodes and P. G.
Schipper Has His Thumb Almost
B own Off.

A pistol shot in the Salvation Army
headquarters, 1893 Market street, caused
considerable excitement in the neighbor-
hood yesterday morning about IL o'clock.
A bullet was fired from q revolver in the
possession OF Charles r. Shaw, carpen-
ter by trade, and member of the Saliva
ton Army, who was under the influence
of liquor and is at the City Prison on the
charge OF assault to murder.
Shaw had been drinking for about a
week and Adjutant Bull of the Sixth
corps. to which Shaw belongs, happened to
see him on Taylor and Market streets
yesterday morning where the corps holds
open-air meeIlngs. Knowing his condi-
ton she did not wish him to take part in
the open-air meeting, so she sent NJ. NJ.
Woods, another member of the corps, to
bring him to headquarters to attend the
morning prayer meeting there.
Woods, after deal of persuasion, got
Shaw to accompany him to headquarters.
They took seat on form in congress
hall near the door. The meeting went on,
but Shaw became noisy and Woods could
not prevail upon him to keep quiet.
P. 6. Schipper, who was seated opposite
to Shaw, crossed over to help Woods in
keeping Shaw in order. Woods whispered
to Schipper that Shaw had a revolver in
his overcoat pocket and to try and get it
from him. Schipper talked to Shaw for q
few moments and noticed that he kept his
hand in his overcoat pocket. Finally
Shaw put on his hat and rose from his
seat.
YOU'RE not going away?" asked Schip-
per.
Yes, am" replied Shaw, II want 10
get out
You're not mad, Charlie, are your"
asked Schipper. ''Sit down, man, and re-
main till the meeting is over.''
Shaw placed his hat on the seat and
pulled the revolver out of his overcoat
pocket. Schipper was watching him
and promptly grabbed the weapon to
wrench it from him. During the struggle
the revolver exploded and the bullet
struck Schippers right thumb. went
through Shaw's hat and buried itself in
the seat. Schipper wrenched the revolver
from Shaw. 1t was fortunate that no one
was sitting in the vicinity, otherwise Shaw
might have been called upon to answer to
mors serious charge.
The report of the-shot brought the meet
ing to an abrupt close. Adiutant Bull
and other mem bers of the army crowded
round Shaw, while Schipper hastened to
The Receiving Hospital.

trail Police Station and notified Sergeant
Nash of the shooting. The sergeant sent
Policeman Gaynor with the patrol wagon

placed Shaw under arrest, against the
strenuous objections of the members of
the army, who claimed it was all au accl-
dent. No one would prefer a charge, so
Gaynor had to 90 so himself.
Adjutant Bull had a long talk with
Shaw in the City Prison. She tried hard
to ascertain what he wanted with loaded
revolver, but he would not give her any
satisfactory answer. She found out that
he hac married young girl about week
ago, but whether that had anything to dc
with starting him off on his debauch is a
matter OF conjecture. Shaw is 80 years of
age.

Another question that will receive the
attention OF the convention will be reso-

questing Governor Budd 10 fill one of the
two vacancies soon to occur in the Board
of Regents for the State University with a

The convention will also urge that the
next session of Congress make provisions
for the appointment of an additional Cabi-
net officer, whose duties it will be to look
after mines and miners claims and rights.
An officer attached TO the executive
branch of the Nations Government on
this subject, it is claimed by those inter-
ested IN mines, would be of equal if not oil
more importance than Minister of Agri-
culture.
An act had been before Congress on a
previous occasion. but it did not pass. In
the meantime the miners were busy in OBJ
tanning favorable views from the present
elected members regarding this bill with
the Cabinet provision attached.
The valuable services rendered the
Miners Association by President J. II.

he has s:gnifed his intention of retiring,

ascertained on this subject say they will

ment.

The Rev. A. +. Moore, a missionary OF
the Presbyterian church. for four years in
Seoul, Korea, arrived here on the steamer
Rio yesterday accompanied by his family,
and Is at the Occidental. He says there is
great disquiet in Korea. and that bands OF
dissatisfied natives of as many as 100 each
are going about the country robbing and
plllaging. Travellers are not safe.
King vi, whose consort was murdered
over a year ago, Is still at the Russian
legation and largely under its control.
There is much dissatisfaction because OF
this. new palace is being built near the
! legation for the King.
Some months ago the japanese, who
dictated the appointment OF the Korean
cabinet, caused the Japanese police to cut
oil the hair, or topknot, so called. OF a
great many Koreans. The topknots are
a sign of distinction. They are worn only
by married men, and no man is supposed
to have properly asserted himself until he
is married and has topknot.
The cutting off OF these appendages
caused great grief. There were many re-
monstrances ana increased dissatisfaction.
However, things have so far improved
now that an edict has gone forth allowing
the Koreans to wear their topknots. The
consequence is that many whose hair was
cut off had gone and collected it again and
fastened it on, so that their happiness has
been re.established.
The reverend gentleman says many OF
the Koreans are EN- bracing Christianity.

Horace w. Philbrook is not satisfied to

upon the decision handed down by the
Supreme Court last Thursday. This was
the case which led 10 the disbarment of

said that he would very soon file petit

He said that he believed that he would be
able TO show good and satisfactory grounds
for granting his petition. At any rate, he
was going to make the attempt as soon as
he could do so.

the TWO opinions that were filed. The
first of these was signed by Justices Gar

second was signed by Justices Beatty,
Henshaw and Temple. Mr.. Philbrook be-
lleves that this was mistake. The law
makes it necessary for four Justices to
concur. Mr.. Philbrook claimed, and the
record showed. that there were only three
signatures to either of the opinions handed
down. he has various grounds for
moving for new hearing, but he declined
to make these public Yesterday
