SHOT AT A DANCE.

Marion Gilmore Fatally Wounded by the
Young Man Who had Danced With His
Daughter.
Special TO the Register.
Wayne, W. Va, April 17.-Marion
Gilmore, living in Cabell county, was
shot twice and probably fatally injured
ON Saturday night by John Stuck, a
young man residing on Camp Creek,
this county. The shooting occurred
during the progress of a dance at the
home of John Blevins. Stuck was
dancing with daughter of Gilmore,
and they had a falling out. The father
of the young woman demanded an
apology from Stuck, and this caused
the alteration. Stuck fired three shots,
but only two took effect. The shoot
ing caused quite commotion in the
crowded ballroom, and it is said some
of the ladies present, in their fright,
leaped through windows. Stuck is un-
der arrest Gilmore was yet alive this
morning, but physicians pronounced his
case hopeless.

Stocks.--A rise in cali money and a

largely confined to the industrials and

shares, Anaconda Mining, Cotton Oil

Influenced by gossip relative to dlvl-
dend prospects. Manhattan, Sugar and

covered somewhat from the lowest
Many of the specialties which had ad-
vanced most readily early were equally
conspicuous in the afternoon decline,
especially Continental Tobacco, Fed
eral Steel, Colorado Fuel and Iron and
American Steel and Wire. An advance
in wheat gave encouragement to the
bears, who construed it as confirmatory
of crop damage gossip. The strength
in the call money markete. which
ranged from Az to g. was in measure
due to the financing of another crop of
industrial combinations, including pay
ments incidental to the organization of
the American Hoop Company. There
was considerable selling for Western
account in the afternoon trading, which
gave encouragement to large interest
which operated apparently on the short
side. London was a purchaser of a
number Of dividend paying information
ais and seller of speculative low
grade shares. Expectation that the de-
cision of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion would be rendered this afternoon
was a source of strength to Metropoli-
tan and weakness to Manhattan on the
possibility that it might favor the for

A Lost Opportunity.

It was near one of the large railroad
stations. A man rather advanced in
years. whose old fashioned attire and
open mouthed wonderment proclaimed
that he was visitor from the rural dis
tricts and not accustomed to the every
day sights of large city, was suddenly
accosted by sharp visaged youth with,
"Mister, yer dropped yer wallick." AS
he spoke he held forth large wallet
we'll stuffed with old revenue stamps
covered with couple Of dollar bills.
Uncle Rube looked at the greenbacks
bullying out of the wallet with equally
protruding eyes, hesitated just one mo-
ment, and then, his cupidity evidently
eetting the better of him, reached for
It. "Hold on; give US tenner furst, .
Exclaimed the possessor of the wallet.
The old man quickly put his hand in
his trousers pocket; but, after a mo-
ment, drawing forth his empty hand,
he drawled out, "Take it out O the
wallet"
The youth, closing the wallet with
i'll concealed disgust, turned on his heel
and hurried off. The stranger in town
looked after the youth moment, and
then, muttering, "Gol dern! Missed it
ag'in. I told Sal I'd need more'n So, !"
he resumed his peaceful way.-Phila-
delphia Record.

s.The ClOister and the HEARTH"

The pains Charles Reade took with
this book, called first GA Good Fight"
and afterward "The Cloister and the
HEARTH" were almost superhuman. His
letters at this time are full of it. 81 am
under weigh again." he writes, "but
rather slowly. think this story will
almost wear my mind out" Again, II
can't tell whether it will succeed or not
as a whole, but there shall be great and
tremendous and tender things in it. I"
It is interesting to trace through these
letters the gradual evolution Of charac-
tiers and scenes that have charmed mil
lions of people since. In one of them he
says: "Gerard is just now getting to
France after Aany adventures in Ger
many. The new character have added
-Denys, Burgundian soldier, a cross
bowman-will,I b. &c and trust, please
you"
Never was hope better founded. Since
those words were written many and
many reader has lived over again the
sayings and doings Of this adyenturer,
with his everlasting Courage, lie diable
est mort" Denys' "foible, " as we are
told, was woman. "When he met a
peasant girl on the road, he took off his
cap to her as if she was a queen, the in
variable effect of which was that she
suddenly drew herself up quite stiff like
a soldier on parade and wore forbid
ding aspect. "-London Academy.

The Country Clergyman

An old clergyman who had held a
cure in the depths Of the country for
the greater part of his life had occasion
to consult his bishop on certain mat
ter, and, in answer to his letter, re-
ceived all invitation to sleep the night
ut the palace. For 40 or so years he bad
practically led the life Of a recluse, and
1t was after many cogitations that he
decided to take the journey to the other
ind of the diocese, where the bishop
lived. He arrived just in time for 5
o'clock tea, a meal to which he was a
complete stranger.
After tea the bishop asked him to &C.
company him to evensong. When they
returned to the house, the bishop, re-
marking that it was quite time they
went up stairs, lit a candle and showed
bis guest to his room. 1t was then just
T o'clock, and, thong b the old clergy
man thought it was rather early to re-
tire, still, admiring the bishop for such
simple habits, be prepared for bed. He
bad just put out the light and lain
down to sleep, wishing he had drunk a
little more tea, when a booming noise
rang through the house and smote upon
his ear.
Quick as thought he sprang from his
bed and, shouting "Fire!' at the top Of
his voice, rushed out on to the landing
just in time to meet the bishop, with q
lady on his arm, going down to dinner.
The sequel to the story has never been
divulged.- Cornhill Magazine.
