Shooting at Signal.

1t was reported here several days
ago that Epifania Leiras had shot
Francisco Ortez, at Signal, inflicting
a severe scalp wound. Later report is
about as follows: Leivas is a married
man and accused the latter of tamper-
ing with his wife's Affection, and took
one shot at Ortez, at close range, in
order to impress him that such conduct
was unseemly. Ortez, thinking Leivas
intended to strike him with the gun,
lodged Just as the pistol xploded, and
in so doing no doubt saved his life.
Then Leivas struck him heavy blow
over the head, but before he could use
his gun again he was grabbed and dis
armed by the bystanders. Ortez claims
he is innocent Of any designs on Mrs.
Leivas, and his friends vouch for his
story. Both the boys are good fellows
and II is too bad the quarrel occurred.

NEW USE FOR MEGAPHONES,
Found of Practical Value in the
Erection OF Tall buildings In
the Larger Cities.

Megaphones, which have generally
been looked upon as a sort of semi
useful plaything for yachtsmen or by
announcers at bicycle races and field
sports, are now being put to a thor
ough practical use by builders. Two
of them are in constant use by the
contractors for the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine, now being erected on
Morningside heights, New York city.
With them man at the top of the
arches, about $50 feet above the street
level, converses with the stonecutters
and handlers of other materials be-
low. So useful have these exagger-
ated speaking trunpets become that
their general use by builders is GER
tain to follow this innovation. Mega
phones for such purposes have been
found better than the telephone, as
they are Inexpensive and there is no
danger of their getting out of repair.

HAS AN AUTOMOBILE.
Haytian Minister Appears on Penn
sylvania Avenue with One Of
the New Vehicles.

An automobile has invaded the dip
lomatic corps, and to Mr.. Leger, the
Haytian minister, belongs the distinc-
ton of owning one Of these new vehi-
cles. He has just purchased it, how
ever, and has not become accustomed
to its use, as was noticed as he rode
down Pennsylvania avenue. The min
lister from the colored republic was
apparently delighted with the expe-
rience Of riding in a carriage pro-
PEELED by electricity, as was evidenced
by the smiles which wreathed his
face. He was guiding the automobile,
and SO interested was he in it's mech
anism that he almost fell out in his
effort to look beneath to see how it
worked. He came dangerously near
wrecking the vehicle by running into
heavy express wagon, and had it not
been for the youth who sat beside him
for the purpose of instructing the
minister how to control the automo-
bile he would probably now be in a
hospital. The minister was so en-
crossed in studying his new mode OF
transportation he was not conscious
of his danger until his companion
placed his hand on the steering ap-
paratus and guided the machine to a
place Of safety.
