SHOT BY WAITER.
Co ok In a WEXFORD Hotel Slightly
Woundei.
Dispute Ov.r an Order For Breakfast LED
10 Shooting.

There was little excitement yesterday
at the Cold Spring House. Wexford.
and the guests were greatly startled
by the report of pistol coming from
the direction of the kitchen. 1t was as
certained that James Davis. aged S5.
the cook, had been shot by one Of the
walters named Stephen Kinslow. aged
30. and was thought to be seriously
wounded, but fortunately IL was found
that the bullet had struck only glanc-
ing blow on the right side, causing only
a superficial flesh wound
The cause OF the trouble between the
men. as stated by the cook, was brought
about by dispute over an order sent
to the kitchen. and words grew hotter
until Davis ordered Kinslow to leave
the kitchen. Then Kinslow is said to
have attempted to assault Davis, who
seized the kitchen poker and made for
the colored man. who ran from the
room, and just as he was going out OF
the door fired his pistol, wounding Da-
Wis. Kinslow then made his escape
through the back part of the house.
Later the man was captured near
Hamilton, and brought back to the
town by officer G. c. Tracy. assisted by
f.. Carroll and j. A. Rose. Upon being
searched Kinslow had two revolvers
upon his person. Subsequently he was
taken to Kingston jail. Kinslow claims
that he shot at Davis, but only I'm self.

POLICE TRIED TO FIND BODY.

Yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
an unknown man was seen to perish In
the Blackstone river. near the Ex-
change street bridge, in Pawtucket, ana
whether IT was a case of accident or
suicide none who saw him in the water
seems to be able to state.
Three persons saw him. one woman
who was crossing the bridge at the time
the man went over the railing: another
was George Crowell an employe at
work near window of the George II.
Fuller jewelry establishment overlook
ing the river, andNhe third was owen
Moran. who was in his barn on Ex-
change street.
All three saw the man strike the
water 30 feet below the bridge, but none
saw him leap or fall, whichever may
have been the case, except Mr.. Croweii,
who says that he was at work at MS
lathe at one of the windows overlooking
the river when he first noticed the man,
who was walking along near the middle
of the south sidewalk toward the east
erly end of the bridge.
When he reached point near the
middle of the structure he reeied
against the railing. and before Mr.
Crowell realized what had happened
the man was StTuSSunG III thr W"'Si'
Mr.. Crowell at once raised the alarm,
and Mr.. Moran attempted TO throw
door and ropes to the drowning man,
but before he could do so the stranger
had fioated about 60 yards down stream
and sunk from sight. The men In the
| jewelry shop shouted to him to keep ms
| head above water IL possible but ne
| simply raised his head once and looked
| i'm the direction from which the calls
| came, and then folded his hands over
| the top OF his head without making any
| struggle whatever. His failure to make
| any attempt TO save himself bears out
| the suicide theory, although 1t might
| have been an accident.
| The woman who was crossing the
| bridge at the time covered her race
with her hands when she saw the man
go over, and hastened away in fright

The police were notified, and Capt.

| and Goodwin, quickly prepared to re-
| cover the body with graphing irons,
and their search was kept up unit,
after dark, when they gave 1t up until
this morning.
The police are OF the opinion, from
the story given them that 1t was q
case OF suicide.

low-cItizens. They were looked upon as
idle, useless members of society, with
no thought beyond the fit OF their
clothes, and no ambition beyond ten
mis- championship. The working popu-
lation rather desplsed them. Some peo-
pie pltled them.
The war has changed all that-at
least with regard to-the young asisto-
Gratis who have gone Into the army.
These men have shown that they can
endure hardshlps, and that they are
good Americans when the necessity
arises. And we have no doubt that the
experience has wrought a marked
change in the thoughts and ideas OF the
wealthy young soldiers themselves.
They have been brought in direct con-
tact with their less fortunate fellow-cit-
liens, upon whom they were perhaps
once inclined to look down little. They
have discovered that these comrades Of
theirs are brave, hearty fellows, a little
lacking In formal politeness, perhaps,
but flesh and blood and good Americans
like themselves.
This knowledge will be Of value long
after the war with Spain has passed In
to history. For the men who fought side
by side In Cuba, and who endured to-
gether the dIscomforts OF Camp Alger
and Chlckamauga, will have n hearty
respect for one another when they have

Stone is a politician Of power and

Other southern and western Democrats
agree with him. A large number OF
them notably those OF them who are
members OF the Democratic national
committee. assert that Bryan Will be
nominated In 1900 and that the Demo-
