SHOT HIS LITTLE SISTER
BAD CONSEQUENCES OF A BOY
CURIOSITY.
Jimmy and Mary Martin Were Playing
With n Loaded Revolver-The Child
Has Il Chance to Recover.

Jimmy Martin, the 11-year-old son
of James Martin of No l Ridgley ave-
nue., shot his 5-year-old sister, Mary,
while playing with a gun last evening"
causing a very serious wound There
is chance for the child to recover,
but there is also grave possibility of
the wound resulting fatally should
blood poisoning develop.
The shooting occurred about s o'clock
and was purely accidental. The fam
lily were all in the sitting room and
Mrs. Martin. wishing to see a letter
she had received a day or two before
sent the boy to her sleeping apartments
to get it out of bureau drawer. She
neglected to caution him against
touching Mr. Martins revolver, which
was kept in that particular drawer,
and of course that was the first thing
the child's eyes fell on.
Little Mary accompanied her brother
in quest of the letter, and they were
alone in the room when the accident
happened. AS nearly as they were
able to tell what occurred, the boy rum
mayed in the drawer till he espied the
gun and forgetting all about his err
rand. took the gun out of the drawer
and commenced to experiment.
The little girl, as eager as the boy
to solve its mysteries. stood in front
of her brother when he snapped the
trigger. She received the full charge
in the face, the bullet entering immed-
lately under the nose. The shot and
the little ones cutlery brought the pa
rents into the room in a hurry They
were nearly Frustrated when they saw
what had happened, for they supposed
the wound must necessarily prove a
fatal one.
DR.. Leggat was summoned and drove
quickly to the home of the Martins
Finding the child was in no immediate
danger, DR.. Leggat took her in his
carriage to st. James hospital and
Drs. MacNevin and Stelle were called
to assist in the delicate operation of
dressing the wound. 1t was found that
the bullet, which was 32-caliber, had
entered Just below the nose and, rang
ing to the left, lodged just below the
base of the skull at the back of the
head 1t being an extremely danger
Gus undertaking under the circum-
stances. no attempt was made to eX-
tract the bullet. Dr. Leggat stated
that if blood poisoning does not set in,
the child has fair chance to recover.

WARMING UP
Tickets Will Be in the Field
This Week.
THE QUESTION OF FUSION
Whether the Republicans and Silver Re-
pubiicans Will Combine Is Matter
OF Conjecture-Men Who Are
Probable Candidates.

Before the end Of this week the vari-
Gus municipal tickets will probably all
be in the field and the campaign of the
city election will have begun The DEM
| ocrats will hold their convention on
Wednesday. At the present time it
seems likely that J. H. Mccarthy will be
, the nominee for mayor, as it is under
stood that majority of the delegates
are favorable to him. H. r. Bartlett and
Dave O'Connor are among those men,
toned for city treasurer, while Frank
Normoyle, J. ]. Terrell and ]. H. Gro
min are talked Of for police magistrate
Among those mentioned as candidates
for aldermen are P. j. Macarthur in the
First ward, ]. A. Lewis in the Second
William Page in the Third, Henry SIM
mons in the Fourth, Henry Crangle in
the Fifth, w. H. Davey and W. E. Bur-
CESS in the Sixth, NJ Jennings in the
Seventh and Thomas Rowan in the
Eighth.
There is till much doubt as to what
will be done by other parties In the
campaign. The regular republicans and
the silver republicans will hold separate
primaries, but have called their conven-
tons for the same time, which will be
on Saturday. Whether or not they will
fuse Is matter of uncertainty. Many in
both parties are favorable to fusion. but
many in both parties are opposed TO
fusion. Many of the silver republicans
are in that organization as a matter of
principle and are not willing to give up
their principles for a matter of office
Many OF the regular republicans like
wise are opposed to Offering any terms
to the silver republicans except uncon-
ditional surrender.
In case of fusion there are a number
of candidates who would be willing to
run. A. F. Bray at the present time
seems to have the inside track of the
republican nomination. He is more sat
isfactory to the republicans than any of
the others mentioned. for the reason
that he actively supported their ticket
last fall, whereas most of the candi-
dates are tainted with the silver poi
son. Bray would be very bitter Dill
for the silver republicans to swallow,
and they are offering instead as candi-
dates for mayor Charles Schatzlein, B.
E. Calkins and John G. Evans None
of these men are, however, satisfactory
to the regular republicans, for the rea-
son that all have on some occasion been
silver republican candidates. Many are
urging the nomination of j. f. Richards
as one who has remained aloof from
both wings
The Clark people will in all proha bill
ity again support the republican ticket.
The populists are doing nothing as vet,
but will probably also be in line with
the republicans.
