SHOT BY HIS STEPSON.
Proprietor of II PENNSYLVANIA Restau-
rant In a Critical Condition.

Easton, Pa, June IA shooting which
may end in murder took place here early
yesterday morning. Daniel Ehly, aged
about fifty-two years, proprietor of an
eating house on Northampton street, above
Fourth, was shot through the left breast
shortly after 8 o'clock by his stepson, Jacob
Asher Billger, formerly of Phillipsburg,
agede thirty seven years. The bullet
passed through the lung and lodged in the
mans back under the skin. Another ball
fired by the same hand cut the skin on
the back OF the neck, making only Il slight
wound.
Ehly is badly hurt, and if Inflammation
sets in may die. He experiences consd-
cradle trouble in breathing, because of the
injury to his lung, and is very weak.
1t seems that Ehly and his stepsoD,
Billger, have been at loggerheads for some
time. They never could agree, and every
now and then Ehly would have Billger
arrested for assault and battery. Several
weeks ago Ebly swore out a complaint
against Billger before Alderman Young
Bllger was arrested and held for a hear
| ing, but the case was settled. The coDdi-
| tion of Ehly is critical.

Spicer was released Monday, aud, as he
al WAYS does, celebrated his rest from close
quarters by a hilarious jag.
An officer found him early this morning
stretched across Twelfth street south
west, uncousciously drunk.
Spicer, after the officer had damaged his
character, with undaunted spirit took the
stand. Heis colored man orthe old school,
and has, in a rough, uncultured way, touches
of suayity that are pleasing, Deunis knows
this and makes the most of his talents.

The vagrancy case of Arthur Burgess af-

Burgess is an old timer, who has kept
away from evil for nearly a year. Yester-
day he yielded to fIis appetite for drink, and
was arrested by Policeman MCDANIEL for

OUR SOUTHERN LETTER.

ED. ENTERPRISE. The political ques-
tion is Just now on top. Hot weather,
freezes or any other visitation of proyi-
dence, are not to be thought Of. Every
body claims that everybody else will
be elected. So many new ideas have
sprung up in the republican ranks that
it takes two factions Of the G. 0. P. to
hold it all. You see one faction wants
to hold on to the cOlored brother, for they
say if we don't hold him, the democrats
will, and as the said brother is very ac-
commodating, he will shout for the par
ty that will let him do the most talking.
The other faction won't have anything
to do with the darkey, saying this is a
white mans country. The pOpOcrats are
sure that Bryan will be elected and so
are the democrats. As Florida is strict
ly temperate there is no use for the pro-
hi party, so they have turned
their forces over to the democrats saying:
Here Lord l give myself away; its the
best that could dO"-under the present
conditions. There are no gold demo-
Gratis here, all are for free silver out and
out. The republicans have been trying
to hold the cOlOred voters in line, but tits
no good; they have an idea that sixteen
to one means sixteen times as much mon
ey for the same amount Of work as they
now get, so trust to the darkey to do as
little as he can, and to get all he can,
il he has to steal your chickens to bal
lance accounts.
The conditions Of crops here are about
the same as you will see in Ohio in Oct
ober and November. The corn ia most
| ly harvested and is reported as being
a good crop all over the state. A large
amount Of Kaffir corn is planted here,
and it produces much more grain and
forage than any other crop that can be
planted. There is very large acreage
