Tuesday evening, Alfred Maxwell,

Aaron Maxwell living north of town,
while shooting tlobert rifle got bullet
lodged in the barrel Of the gun. Not
being able to push it out he put in some
powder and then tamped it down hold
ing the barrel over flame of fire as he
thought heat would expand the barrel
so there would be no trouble to push the
bullet out; but expansion nearly always
works the unexpected way, hence the
unexpected happened, the discharge Of
the gun, the ball coming .ck entering
the muscles of the chest and following a
rib two or three inches. DR.. Macy W as
summoned and probed for the ball but

PORTO RICO's GOVERNMENT.
Bill Has Been About Completed by
the House Committee.

Washington, March 16.-The bill estab-
fishing a civil government in Porto Rico
has been practically completed by the
subcommittee of the House Committee on
Insular Affairs.
In addition to the features already pub
lished, the committee has incorporated
provisions relating to corporations. The
bill prohibits the issue of stock or bonds
except for cash or the issue of stock or
bond dividends.
1t prohibits the granting of public fran
chises by private bill, but provides for a
general franchise law reserving to the leg
islature the power to amend, alter or re-
peal franchises at will and also the right
to purchase such franchises.
1t prohibits the organization of banks
of issue and the organization of agricul-
tural corporations. The latter provision
is to prevent the agricultural lands of the
islands falling into the hands of a big
corporation.
Following the law in this country it also
provides that banks procuring title to
lands in payment of debts must dispose of
such land within five years.
