FSHOT THE
PRISONER.
Burglar Smith Assaults
Warden Paris and Gets
a Pistol Ball.

Night Warden Paris at New Cas-.
tie Jail early this morning had to use
his revolver in subduing a desper-
ate prisoner, who had assaulted him
with a board. The prisoners Hen
ry Smith, who, at the February
term of General Sessions Court was
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment
for burglarizlng the home of aged
Mr.. Vandegrift, near st. Georges.
Smith is burly negro, who has
given the Jail officials much trouble
and at 2. 80 O'Clock this morning he,
as well as several other long term
prisoners, who were confined in cell
No. ), close to the warden quar-
tiers, became unruly.
Warden Paris ordered the men
to be quiet, but Smith replied with
an oath that he would do as he
pleased.
Going to the cell door, Warden
Paris again ordered that the noise
be stopped, but Smith refused to
desist, whereupon the warden en-
tered, intending to take Smith to
another cell. AS Paris entered,
Smith armed himself with a three
inch piece of flooring and when Paris
approached struck him with it.
The warden was being roughly
handled when he drew his revolver
and fired. The ball grazed the
prisoner s left arm and had the ef-
feet of quoting him.
Warden Paris afterward removed
Smith to the dungeon where he will
be kept several days. The gun shot
would was so tritling that DR..
Woods simply bandagcd it.

The Minister'S Are Blamed.

Rev. John D. c. Hanna is among
the Wilmington clergymen who think
the Legislature should have rene.
died evils relative to. the marriage
laws. Under existing law, any girl
over IS years of age is permitted to
marry without the consent OF her
parents. Girls under this age FREE
quently obtain licenses on false
statements and in every case the
minister is blamed for uniting the
couples. Mr.. Hanna thinks tho
law should be sufficiently severe to
prevent Misrepresentation on the
part Of girls concerning their age.
