JAS. Gray, who resides near the round
house at the Junction, was the victim Of
an accident with a 22-calibre rifle Satur-
day. He was engaged in pumping
water and was in a STOPPING posture
when a target rifle in the hands of a
boy named Ayers was discharged, the
ball striking him in the back just below
his shoulder blade and buried itself I'M
der the bone. His wound was attended
to but the physician was unable to To-
cate or remove the bullet. He will
probably be laid up for some time. The
bullet was a 22-calibre, long, and had he
not been STOPPING over would have
perhaps resulted fatally.

INDUSTRIAL INQUIRY.
George GubbIna Tells the Commission That
Contractors Tried to Excite Union Men
to Attach. Non-Union Men.


Chicago, March 2s.-Before the fed
eral industrial subcommittee, George
P. Gubbins, president of the Chicago
Bricklayers' and Stonemasons' union,
testified yesterday that the contractors
were trying to incite union men to
attack non-union men that sympathy
might be aroused for the latter. The
commission was so much surprised at
this statement that Mr.. Gubbins was
pressed for more details. In response
to questions he said he would favor
any scheme for fair arbitration If the
contractors would join and that he
would like to see President Mckinley
appoint arbitrator. But he had no
confidence in the contractors.
Mr.. Gubbins' statements were at the
opposite pole from those of Thomas
H. Jones, a non-union machinist, en-
ployed by the Troy Laundry Machin-
cry company. The latter denounced
unions as selfish and un-Christian.
"Unionism to-day" he said, "is' far
worse than the saloon in breaking
up homes and wrecking the lives OF
honest workmen. The church might az
we'll bless the saloon as a labor
union"
The other witnesses Of the day were
John A. Long, business agent Of the
Gasfitters' union, and James Regain, q
member of the Lathers' union. Mr..
Long came out in fat-footed manner
against police interference with Ia
Dor. Regain was one Of the most fiery
champions of labor yet listened to by
the commission. His panacea for la
Dor troubles was free silver.

ARMY BILL DEBATED.
A. Wide Range Of Subjects Touched
Upon in the House.
BUREAU OF CRIMINAL INFORMATION.


Washington, March 2S,-There was
was some lively debate in the house
yesterday during the consideration of
the army appropriation bill. Little
Of it was pertinent to the measure.
1t covered a wide range of topics, Pu-
erto Rican tariff, the Boer war and the
Philippines. Inc charge that the Pu-
erto Rican tariff bill was the result OF
deal for raising republican cam
paign fund was again referred to by
Mr.. Pierce, of Tennessee, but Mr..
Hull declared that the anonymous au-
thor of the charge would never dare
to avow himself and be branded as q
falsifer. Mr.. Sulzer, of New York,
made an appeal for the extension of
official sympathy to the Beers in
their struggle for independence and
Mr.. Lentz, Of Ohio, delivered a scath-
ing denunciation of militarism and the
war in the Philippines. His attack
aroused the sentiment and indigna-
ton of Mr.. Marsh, of Illinois, who, in
bitter excoriation Of the Ohio men,
Der, declared that the latter's speech
was disgrace to the American con-
gress. He declared that he was re-
sponsible for what he had said both
on and off the floor of the house. His
heated language did not draw re-
joinder from Mr.. Lentz.
Mr.. Carter, of Kansas, introduced a
bill to establish a bureau Of criminal
information in connection with the
department of justice. 1t provides for
the collection of records, photographs,
measurements, etc, of criminals con-
victed in federal, military or naval
courts.
Other house bills: BY Mr.. Brown
low, of Tennessee, authorizing the
use of a part of the national Gene
terry at Arlington for the burial of
deceased enlisted men and their wives;
by Mr.. Heatwole, of Minnesota, for
bidding the government sale of
stamped envelopes bearing any litho-
graphing, printing, etc.
The house committee on military
affairs agreed to recommend the reap
pertinent of the present board Of the
national home for disabled soldiers.
II was also agreed to offer an amend
ment to the pending bill, giving travel
pay at four cents per mile in lieu OF
the present system based on the anti
quated theory that 20 miles consti-
tutes days march.
