Lightner, also colored, at No. 724 Lock
street. Saturday night, gave himself up at
the police station about o'clock yesterday

Lightner having died short time before.
Lightner told the hospital physicians, be-
fore being placed under the influence of OPT
ates that it was an accidental shooting, but
later tod the police about the same story
as is told by Robinson. Robinson said he
was sitting in chair in front of the place
where the shooting occurred, when Lightner
came up and tried to pull his chair from
under him. He did so and let him down on
the floor Robinson told Lightner that If he
did IL again he would shoot him. Lightner,
thinking he was joking, said he did not
think that Robinson had a pistol, and re-
peated the act. Robinson said he had the
revolver in the right-hand pocket of his
trousers and started to pull IL out while
Lightner continued the scuffie. He got the
revolver out of the pocket and in some way
IL was discharged He claims he did not
purposely shoot his friend The men had
been together about seven years. Robinson,
after the shooting. left his weapon with an
other friend and started TO give himself up,
but on nearing the police station his courage
failed and he started back along the Big
-Four tracks. Finally he sat down and medi-
tated. He concluded the police would get
him anyway and a few moments later
walked into the police station and sur
rendered himself.

SENATOR BEyERIDGE GUARANTEED
AT NAGASAkI, JAPAN.
Hopeful on June 30 that There Was
No Danger-His Manila
Experiences.

The first word for some time from Sena-
tor Albert j. Beverage came yesterday in
letters received by friends in this city. The
senator wrote from Nagasaki, Japan, where
he was quarantined on the City of Pekin,
with the Asiatic plague on board. The
plague came from a Chinese from Hong
Kong. the home of the disease. Mr.. Bev-
eridge was hopeful that there would be no
danger, but In letter he remarked: Thank
heaven, Mrs. Beveridge is in Kiota." The
letter was dated June 60, and no cable
gram has since come from Mr.. Beverage.
Mr.. Beveridge did not intimate when he
would start for home.
The senator has been well over China in
GLIDING Hong-Kong, Shanghai, Chu-Fu,
Canton, Taku, Peking and other places. He
Travelled over two thousand miles by water
in the Philippines and four hundred miles
by horseback around Manila. Advices from
there say he was with Lawton in advance
of the firing line. One bullet hit within four
feet of the senator.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S STATUE.
4 Canadian Delegate Expected to
Find IL at the Hotel English.

The policeman on duty in front OF Eng
lish's Opera House has had many queer
experiences, but none more so than one
with a loyal Epworth delegate from Can

and asked where he would find the statue
Of Queen Victoria that was in the building.
II don't know Of any statue Of the Queen
IN this building" was the reply.

question.

II was told in Canada that would find
Q statue OF the Queen in the English block,
and want to see it,
There Is no statue here that know off,
replied the officer.
Aren't you an oficer?" was the next
question. In a tone that Indicated great dis
gust.
sYes, sir"
II know the statue is here somewhere, and
4 am going 10 find IL, And with that the
loyal subject Of Queen Victoria fiounced off
OF one OF the belIboys and asked him about
the statue. The bellboy was quick TO grasp
the situation.
yes, indeed, of course we have the sta
tue OF the Queen" he said, and he forthwith

SPECIAL SERVICES AT PLYMOUTH.
Rev. David III. Moore, OF Cincinnati,
Talks of "Old Age"

There was a special service at Plymouth
Church yesterday morning, Rev. David H.
Moore, u. d., of Cincinnati, editor OF the
Western Christian Advocate, being the
speaker. DR.. Moore gave an interesting talk
on "Old Age" and the special hymn sung
was Rock of Ages" The following is an
excerpt of the address:
Love of life is mans supreme passion
No satisfaction is held out in the Bible as
the reward of piety, Yet, strangely, men
shrink from old age Perhaps for three rea-
sons: The dread of being peevish and fret
full, like some out-of-jointed persons we
know; the probability of being dependent
upon ungrateful and unfeeling children as
in w. Nj. Cartons cover the Hill to the
Poorhouse;" the dread of second childish
ness and mental oblivion" in the decay of
physical and mental powers. Yet we must
recollect that these are not the necessary
but the accidental accomplishments of old
age. Surely We may cultivate spiritual and
natural grace so as to live in harmony and
enjoyment of the present. Nor need there
be any over-the-hill-to- the- poorhouse ex-
perience If we are reasonably provident and
industrious, and IL we deserve the love OF
our children and real. them to habits of
filial piety. AS for the infirmities of old age
science has come to our relief. lengthening
the average life for the English nearly 20
per cent. from Elizabeth's time. Dissipation,
most of the early decay. Won Motke, Glad
stone. Wesley show that the activity OF
youth may be preserved. Longfellow's
'Morituri Salutamus tells the whole story.
Besides, We must credit old age with
positive advantages in the wisdom Ii brings
