SHOT His BROTHER DEAD
They Were Hunting and Playfully
Tusseled About Gun.
Weapon Was Discharged, the Load En-
tering the Unfortunate Boys Face.
Surviving Boy wild With Grief.

Philadelphia, Jan. 24.-While cunning
with a party OF friends yesterday afternoon
near Mount Moriah Cemetery, in West Phil
adelphia, Lorenzo Grimstone, sixteen years
accidentally shot and killed his brother
John, fourteen years. The shooting &C.
CURED at the entrance to Mount Moriah
| Cemetery, on Cemetery avenue, near the
| Baltimore Il Ohio railroad.
The boys, with some companions, pro-
posed to go rabbit hunting. The sugges-
| ton was at once suggested and they start
| ed down Cemetery avenue. AS they ap-
preached the gate OF Mount Morlah Gene
terry, Lorenzo saw birds nest in the
branches OF one OF the trees and announced
| that he was going to shoot at it He fired,
but failed to hit the nest and at once
reloaded the weapon. Al this time his
brother John, who was not aware that
the gun had been reloaded, called to his
brother to wait while he blew down the
barrel to clear out any obstruction that he
supposed might have lodged therein. AT
the same time John reached forward and
grasped the barrel of the rifle, Lorenzo
retaining firm hold on the stock.
Fearing that John would injure himself,
Lorenzo endeavored to draw the gun Out Of
his reach, but the former refused TO release
his hold on the barrel. Then there was a
playful little struggle. which ended in the
discharge of the weapon. and John fell
unconscious into his brothers arms, badly
wounded in the face.
The boys. with the exception OF Lorenzo,
fled toward the stable and notified William
Bell. who at once removed John TO the uni
versity hospital. where the wounded boy
died last night. without having recovered
consciousness. The boys then returned
home with Lorenzo. who was nearly wild
with grief
Lorenzo was subsequently arrested, but
released about midnight, subject to the
coroner's directions. Late last night Lo-
reno. with tears streaming down his checks,
gave the following version of the accident:
II saw the nest and had taken shot at
it, after which | reloaded my rifle John,
who did not know that l reloaded the
weapon, grabbed the barrel and said, Let
me blow in it, / thought he would get
hurt and started TO pull the gun away
from him. bat he held on, and then the gun
was discharged The griefstricken boy
could not finish the story, and soon after
ward he retired.

Mississippi Congressman Defeats Pri-
vate John Allen and Others.
I Jackson, Miss, Jan. 24--The balloting
for United States Senator last night was full
of interest. The impression had gone abroad
that something was going to happen; thatthe
deadlock, which had come on nearly three
weeks ago, was to be broken. and i large
crowd was present.
The gallery was fun Of ladies, while the
floor OF the caucus was crowded with an
enthusiastic mob.
ON the nineteenth ballot Money had 20
notes. which was within of the haven and
a mighty shout went up from his friends.
No sooner had the result OF the ballot been
announced than an Allen supporter moved
an adjournment, at which there was
boisterUus protest. The roll call was de-
niandcd and the caucus declined to adjourn
by a vote OF SIS to IS.
The twentieth ballot resulted: Money,
81; Lowry, SO; Allen, "a; Hooker.e3.
Pandemonium broke loose sure enough,
and the mighty shout with which the re-
suit was greeted shock the rafters OF the
old Capitol still further from their moOrIngs.
Col. Money was gotten to the speakers
stand and returned hearty thanks Tor the
honor conferred, assuring the caucus he
would be faithful 10 the trust imposed.

New York, Jan. 24-Efforts are being
made today TO make 1T appear that an en-
trely new syndicate was being formed by
j. Pierpont Morgan in order 20 subscribe
for big block OF the new government bonds,
the amount being placed at $40 200, 600.
In the opinion OF bankers. there has never
been any doubt tnat syndicate would have
TO be formed in order 10 guarantee the
success of the bond issue. and the Morgan
syndicate was not dissolved until Mr. Nor
gan received the assurance from a large
number OF the members that they would
stand ready in case he chose 10 revive it
for any amoant up to the entire amount OF
the issue. !
The amount that the syndicate is willing
10 take. however, is not vet determined,
and will not be until few days before
the bids close. and il is possible to obtain
some idea OF the Individual subscriptions.
Properly speaking. il is not Rev syndicate
