Mr.. Watson Sho, by His Two Sons Who Saw Him
Near Fen Coon.

The story comes from Greenville that
w. III. Watson, the Manton avenue
jeweler, was shot at four times last
night. and in consequence thereof will
probably lose the use OF his left eye,
while the right one is badly affected.
Last Thursday 40 hens were stolen
from Mr.. Watson's coop, so gun and
some cid pistols were arranged 20 ex-
plode should the coop be visited again
by thieves. Just after midnight Mr..
Watson thought he heard a noise. so he
armed himself with gun. called his
two sons and started for the coop. The
boys rushed out the back way i'm an
other direction and when they reached
the coop saw the figure OF n man peep
ing into the hen house. They emptied
the contents OF their guns AZ him. With
this the man ran towards the house.
and the boys ran after him. each tring
another charge. When the man reached
the house the boys for the first time
learned that the supposed hen thief was
their own father.
Mr. Watson supposed that the shoot
ers were hen thieves.

Mr.. JAMES WILL.

The following interesting opinion OF
the appellate court was handed down
today in the case OF Joseph A. Pierce,

ministrator: "Matheson. G. j. This is

This contention Is based on the consid-

limitation over, in the case or the real

we think that this construction is
too conjectural. We have to gather the
intention Of the testator from what he
has said. rathes than from that which
he has not said. The only disposition
which the will makes OF the personal

Stocks OF every description were abso-
lutely immovable. Up to the beginning
of the last hour of the session there
had been net variation nowhere OF
an eighth of a point from the opening

and down in some of the stocks had
been made.
shortly after o'clock break OF two
points i'm Missouri Pacific TO n new low,

market. The move was followed by the
erratic sugar stock which had been
hanging between los and l59. Sugar
slumped disastrously to 156h ard then
the whole market weakened very per-
ceptibly. Brooklyn Transit started
down rapidly. There was no news put
out 10 account for the fall, the market
simply sagging by the weight of longs

STEEL MAST STEPPED.
Swung Into Position on the Old De-
fender by the Archer.
Mr. IssIIn Watched The Work, Which Con-
sumsd Only Half an Hour.

The steel mast of the Defender was
successfully stepped at 1T:3O O'Clock to-
day at Bristol. The steamer Archer
which was TO assist I'm the work. ar
rived this morning. When the work
men were ready TO begin, the mast was
pushed out OF the shop until the Archer
could get hold OF IL with her steam
derrick, and it was slowly swung out
until IL could be controlled by &those
on board the steamer. Then the Archer
went slowly along TO the Defenders
berth and With the assistance OF the
crew the work of stepping the mast
was soon accomplished. The operation
took not more than half an hour.
G. Oliver lselin was present while the
mast was being stepped. IL is expected
the sails OF the Defender will be bent
at once and as the crew is already
here, that she win be.prepared to sail
for New York within few days.

DE SOUZA'S DIVORCE
SET ASIDE BY COURT.
Judges Find That Affidavit on Which

Some pretty interesting clrcum-
stances connected with Kent county
divorce ease are incidental TO the ao-

attorney. In the same court the libel
was dismissed i'm February, 1892. Her

ter she filed her answer and promised
if she would forgive him for entering
ths divorce libel to withdraw IL. She
dad forgive him and they lived together
as man and wife almost constantly un-
an the early part of 1898. A very strange
statement follows this, 10 the effect that
