DEATH BY ACCIDENT.
Fatal Shooting Of Young Leigh by
His Friend.

A fatal shooting occurred yesterday at
Kenmore Post Office, Va, which spoiled
the Christmas festivities at the Leigh
household. Kenmore is situated about four
teen miles from Georgetown. According to
the meager information received today, the
shooting was purely accidental. A number
of young men of the locality were assem-
bled at the residence of Mrs. Leigh, cele-
brating the day, among the number being
son, Mercer Leigh, and Orlando L. Of
futt
The young men had been given guns for
a Christmas gift, and yesterday We're in a
yard shooting at a target. In some man.
ner a gun held in the hands of Ofutt was
discharged and the contents struck young
Leigh in the forehead, splintering the bone
and exposing a good portion of the BRAIN
He was picked up alive by his companions
and his uncle, DIR. Leigh, was summoned.
The injury, however. was fatal, and the
boy was beyond human aid.
Offutt and Leigh We're about nineteen
years old each and lived together. The
father of Leigh, who is dead. was well
known in Georgetown, and young Onutt
has a number of relatives residing. In the
District The mother of the injured boy
was nearly Frustrated by the news OF the
accident, and young Offutt is no less al
fected by the occurrence.
Offutt is a nephew of Mr.. g. w. Onutt
of the grocery firm of G. W. Offutt Co.
of GEORGETOWN, and this morning Mr.. Of
futt received a letter giving the foregoing
particulars of the affair.

Anxious to Represent California in
the United States Senate.


TruXton Beale, former minister to Persia,
who married one of the daughters of the
late James G. Blaine is striving for SEN
atorial honors in California, where he re-
sides. In an interview in the San Francisco
Chronicle recently, Mr.. Beale said
Many of my friends thought that on ac-
count of my acquaintance with the public
men in Washington, and for other reasons
I could be efficient there as a representa-
tive of the public interests of this state
but / find that the fight for the senator
ship is being carried on by the adherents of
some of the candidates without reference to
the public at all and without reference to
the public questions or views candidate
should stand for
with true Anglo-Saxon complacency we
point to the Dreyfus case and say that
France is going to the dogs for the want of
civic virtues and public morality, when We
ourselves have a parallel state of affairs
existing now in California. 1 believe that
in many respects we are superior to the
French, but l can assure you that if such
a state of politics as has suddenly been re-
vealed here were revealed in France far
more public interest and public Indignation
would have followed.
IAN awakening of public interest is a
condition precedent to any remedy. II
by an aroused public opinion the United
States Constitution could be so amended
that senators could be chosen directly by
popular vote the scandalous condition that
confronts us now would be less likely to
occur
Speaking Of ways to reach public opinion
Mr.. Beale said:
Another way of getting at it would be
by monster petition, such as was tried
1 believe, in the case of Seth Low in New
York. Still another way, though a very
imperfect one, would be by all the republi-
cans in all the congregations of all the
churches remaining in church after the
service allowing the ministers and priests
to take the vote and send 1t to the legisla-
ture"

THREW PASSENGER OVERBO,
Serious Charge Against Officers Of a
Cromwell Line Steamer.

A dispatch to the New York Journal from
New Orleans yesterday says: Capt r. ].
Post Of the Cromwell liner Knickerbocker
and his first mate. p. NJ. Midboe, were ar
rested today by United States officers when
the steamer arrived, for manslaughter and
were bailed in s., 700 each by Pearl Wright,
a ship chandler. Indictments were found
against them last Monday for the alleged
killing of l.. Teuch. who jumped overheard
or was thrown overheard on recent trip
of the Kickerbocker
Teuch was found on board the Knicker-
booker without means of paying his passage
to New York. The captain and mate claim
ing the man to be a stowaway ordered
him to work his passage. Teuch said that
his passage would be paid in New York on
arrival, and that he was too i'll to work.
According to reports Mate Nidboe was
heard to tell Teuch that if he did not work
on deck he would be thrown overheard.
Teuch tried to work but the rolling and
He went below, begging piteously to he
let alone. Again he was ordered on deck
and this time he never returned.
There are several reports to n scuffie
having been heard. Then there was a cry
of man overheard and the vessel was put
about, but the man sank. No small boat
was sent to his rescue.
The first account of the affair was given
by passenger, who was, il is believed, the
chief witness before the grand jury.
Teuch came from st. Francisvile. East

Note. from The Camp Continued.

The pastor was fortunate in his Sc
lection of ministers to aid in the
campmeeting at Turlington's. The
sermons were of a high order, and
where each minister was SO faithful
and earnest, comparisons are out of
place. Very efficient help came on
Thursday, in the person of Rev. R..
NJ. Maxy, of Cambridge, who deliv-
cred heart searching sermons each
day and twice on Sunday. Others
who preached during those days were
Rev. Messrs. Whitmore, Ray, Griffith
and Jones. The audiences on Sunday
were immense, and the order unusal>
ly good.
The apparent spiritual results were
not great. The professions were not
many. But no blame attaches to the
ministry, for each one faithfully dis
charged his duty. 1t is hoped that
the good seed sown will spring up in
other days. What of the singing by
Sturtevant and Adams? The people
were delighted with it. The expenses
Of the camp were fully met by the
collections and sale OF privileges.
About forty dollars was raised to
paint the roof of the tabernacle.
BY noon on Monday the cabins
were vacated, the tenants having re-
turned to their homes to look after
the secular interests which for ten
days had been laid aside. The camp
was started on this ground in 1872.
Very few Of the orlginators are now
living.
