HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS Wife
Distressing Shotgun Accident at
Alberton, Maryland.
DIR. Ward PIayfuIiy Snaps a Wea
poo, Which Explodes and Causes
Probably Fatal IuJuries.

EIEcott City, Md, Sept. 3. "A slioclihg
accident occurred at Albertou. Howard
county, Saturday night, by which MIC. May
Ward, wife OF Dr. w. W. ward, of that
place, was shot and probably fatally .n-
tuedr by her husband. The disaster hap
pencd at their own home.
The weapon was = doub4e-barrei gun, and
it was charged with large shot. The load
pierced the upper part OF the left bTrast
i'm the region a aboye the heart and cut cut
the armpit. Ii shattered the bone Df the
left arm near the shoulder and was buried
against the wall near the top of a door.
No one was with Dr. Ward and his wife
when the distressing accident occurred.
Mrs. Weird told oft TO her attending ply
siciai.s Prof. II. II. Beidler, of the Eslti-
more University School of Medicine, and
DR.. William b. Cambria and Dr. j. Ta>sey
waliemeycr. of Albertou. She sail she
and Ter husband had been holding the gun
in a playful manner, when she stfapp,.d 1t
at or near him and left the roOIn for mo-
ment. Uror her return DIR. Ward picked
up the gun, aud, remarking that as she
had Snapped 1t at him he would dO the
same TO her. Itwas as he raised the weapon
that IL was discharged. Dr. Ward said he
had loaded the weapon to put il way up
stairs, but ii was presumed that he had :or-
gotten to lower the hammers.
The statement Of the in jured lady was
made ir response TO questions by Prof.
BeidIer in the presence Of Drs. Gambrill
and Waltemcyer. DR.. Ward himself was
81 distracted by the occurrence and pros.
trated by the calamity that had befallen
his home that he could give no account Of
the shooting beyond the statement that he
had the gun in his hands and was about TO
raise il up when it went off.
Mrs. Ward would have died from loss Of
blood before other doctors could have been
summoned had not DR.. Ward himself
promptly applied his surgical knowledge In
gathering up the lacerated tissues and
binding them SO as to stop the flow from a
severed artery.
DIR. Ward is a young physician, and SET
tied st Albcrton something over two years
ago. In February last, after he had sue.
ceeded well in his profession, he married
his cousin, Miss May Ward, of Baltimore.
They have no children. The former home
OF their parents was in Calvert county.

WILL FORCE FITZ TO FIGHT.
A Champion to Hold His Title Must
Defend 1t.

An effort is to be made to force Bob Fltz
simmons to fight Jim Corbett again. After
the Carson City battle, Billy Brady, Cor
belts s manager, said lie would make Fitz
give Jim another chance, and he evidently
means to make good his word Unless
Fitzsimmons fights some other aspirant for
championship honors, he may be forced 80
New York reporter, Fitzsimmons said: II
will not fight Corbett again until he makes
a reI1tation. Let him fight some one else.
He quit like yellow cur on the 17thof last
March. Besides, have retired"
The World today says: There is no
question in the minds of all sensible per-
sons but that Corbettis entitled to another
fight. In every form of sport the champion
is forced t. defend his title whenever chal
lenged Corbett has q right to demand
fight, and Fitzsimmons must give it to him
or forfeit the championship, as many before
him have done. IL Corbett challenges and
posts forfeit, the public will force Fitz.
simmons to fight or retire.
John L. Sullivan fought Charley Nit
cheIl after having whipped him; he fought
and whipped ALI Greenfield twice. the Sec
ond time after whipping him the first in two
rounds; he defeated Paddy Ryan twice. He
won the championship from Ryan, yet he
fought him again, and Ryan was not told to
get reputation, either. This is but one OF
many instances that can be picked out In
the history ct the prize ring

house with rheumatism for some de Us.
and for that rea son was unable To per
sohahy lopk into matters leading up Ia
the shooting of tie Harwood miners.
ssked what he thought Of the firing upon
the miners, the mayor said:
"AI I can say is that l call this shooting
q bntcEery. l can see no excuse for the
sheriffs people having shot these men
hereisno doubt in my min d that the sheriff
and the deputies lost their heads.
Had they been cool, cain. and collected
had they looked upon the situation with
care, this slaughter would never have oc
Cured, and the name of our good city would
never had been besmirched as it is today.
There is no doubt that the shooting W as

deputies should have done In case they
found the miners were violating the laws
of the State was 10 have warned them
Then. IL thsy still persisted, they should
have fired the first volley over their head,
as a warning. lf the men still insisted on
,iisobeying the laws, then it would have
been time enough ~ fire at them.
II am willing To vouChsafe that IL such
precautionary measures had been taken
there would have been no necessity TO shed
q single drop of blood.
II :-aVP uet Ghe minrrs before. On Tues
day last 1 received information frcm the
chief Of police OF this city that the strikers
who were employed la the mines at NcAdou
were coming 10 this city In a body. /

L net the strikers. Some of them carried
clubs, others had iron weapons, while still
Others were armed with sticks

They responded promptly to my order. 1
said to them: 'Boys. you cannot walk
through the streets of this city in a body.
/ understand that it is your inten ton to
parade along the principal streets OF Halle
ton
They told me that such was their inten-
ton. 1 called upon the leaders TO step
forward, and 1 would have a talk with
item. The leaders advanced, and I told
them / would lot permit them to parade
the principal streets. l told them IL
they wanted 10 walk along the side
walks or along the outskirts of the town
In order to reach their destination, would
have no objections. / iInpresse upon them
that i was In dead earnest.
1.-The result was that the leaders went
back to their followers. They held q con-
sultation, and few minutes later the
leaders returned and assured me upon their
word of honor as men that they would vic.
late no laws, but would Go Just as had
told them. We had no trouble with tn,
strikers. They did not violate the promise
they had given TO me-"

Hazleton. Pa, Sept l3.-The situation
up Uo 10 a. m. today had nothing OF Tie
