Hospital in a critical condition
from a pistol wound inflicted
by James II. TiIiman. Lieu
tenant-Governor OF South Carolina and a
nephew OF United States Senator Benia-
min Tillman
The shooting occurred at Main and Ger
Vais streets, the most frequented corner
In Columbia, in full view of the State
Capitol
1t was just a few moments before .
o'clock when the cry passed along the
streets that Jim Tillman had shot n. G.
Gonzales!' Immediately there was rush
toward the scene of the tragedy
The Offices of the State are on. the same
block as the scene of the shooting and il
took but a few moments for great
throng TO assemble in front of the news
paper offices. The excitement and indig-
nation on the street were intense. Con
zales was taken to the office of the State
where physicians pronounced his wound
probably fatal
Policeman Bolan immediately after tho
shooting arrested Lieutenant Governor
I1llman and took him TO police headquar-
ters, where he was relieved of two p:s-
tolls, the one with which he shot Con
zales and a second large revolver of 3s
caiber- From the police station he was
taken to the county jail, where he is to-
night under protection Of the officers. The
only attributed cause for the shooting is
that during the recent primary election

DRAWS REVOLVER AND FIRES

The Lieutenant Governor and the edi-
tor Of the State met at the corner OF
Main and Gervais streets, just at the
street car tracks. There was no encoun-
ter. no fist fighting. TiIlman, so far as
the evidence discloses. simply drew his
revolver and fired at Gonzales.
Most of those who saw the affair say
there was nothing said until after the
shot. One of Tillman's escorts SAYS he
thinks Tillman said: II received your
message and then fired. He is not GER
tain Of this. but thinks SO. The other

STOCK SCRIP.

Distributed Yesterday Despite Attempt
to Prevent Such Action.
Holders of preferred stock in the In
ternational Silver company yesterday
received their preferred stock dividend
scrip. The scrip reads as follows:
This scrip is issued to all unpaid
dividends up to 1908. This and other
like scrip to an amount not exceeding
in the aggregate, at par, $1.0S5, S4S75. is
issued in full satisfaction of all rights
and claims to cumulative dividends on
the preferred stock to January l, 1908.
Scrip does not bear interest and is
payable in such partial amounts as the
directors may from time to time, in
such amounts as may be voted, and
only when so voted, and only then in
case, at the time of such payments,
dividends at the rate of seven per cent.
per annun, for the whole time that
shall have elapsed from January /, shall
have been paid or set apart"
This means briefly that the preferred
stockholders get piece Of the paper
worded like the foregoing for their re-
turns on money invested In the stock.
1t was to prevent such jockeying as
this that Mr.. Clark brought action
against the directors Of the company.

FISH AS FIGHTERS.

The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the fighting capacity
Of a saVge little fish for many years,
and have long been in the habit ofmak-
ing matches between those owned by
different men. just as Mexicans match
gamecock's and some Americans and
English bull pups. When a match is
made, the parties to it having laid their
bets bring their specimens Of the fierce
little Beta pugnax in gabes of water
Both ere put into one globe and with
out moments hesitation they fly at
each other and do not cease fighting
until one of the combatants is killed by
tie other.
1t is only a year or two snce speci-
mems Of this fish were brought to Paris,
but now many are owned in Paris, and
it is said that the demand for good
specimens is constantly on the increa Sc.
They are beautifully spotted with red
and blue and would attract attention
in any aquarium by their coIors alone.
The savage nature behind the beauty
would hardly be Chicago

MILITARY SENSATION.
Caused by Resignation Of First Lieuten
ant Walker IF Co. E

Caused by Resignation Of First Lieuten-
ant Walker Of Co E.
- Robert L. Walker. jr.. has resigned
his commission as first lieutenant of
90. E Light Guard) of the Second reg
iment, and his resignation has been
forwarded to the adjutant general
When he explained his reasons for get
ting out VI the Connecticut National
Guard he sprung a sensation that is
still the topic OF discussion not only in
the company in which he was an officer
but among other members of the Sec
ond regiment. Young Walker is en-
ployed in the car shops of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road company in this city. He has been
in the National Guard since 1898, and
two years ago was chosen second lieu
tenant of the Light Guard. When
vacancy occurred last June he was pro-
NOTED to the first lieutenany.
After announcing his resignation from
the company Lieutenant Walker made
a statement concerning his reasons for
leaving the militia. Walker said that
he was a member of the Federation of
Labor, being allied with the Car Build
ers' union, which was recently formed
in this city and of which he is the Sec
rotary. He said that it was not consist
ent with the views Of a member of
labor union to belong to the militia. He
said that in the event of strike Occa-
sions sometimes required the calling out
of the militia and in that case MEM
Der. of a labor union was forced to take
up arms against his fellow laborers. 1t
was a matter Of sentiment with him
and he decided to stand by the labor Or
ganization and quit the state militia.
The effect of Walkers speech was like
the dropping of bombshell in the COM
pany room. Members of the company
tried to dispel the ideas entertained by
Walker, but he said that he was deter
mined to get out of the militia.
Walker insisted upon his resignation
going through and it has been forward
ed to the military authorities at Hart
ford,

PARIS NEW RAILROAD.

Magnitude of Undertaking Not Appa-
rent to Ordinary Observer.
Few Parisians, much less foreign Wis
works necessitated by the Metropolitan
railroad. They simply notice that some
of the most frequcnted routes through
Paris are dotted with wooden inco-
sures, which increase the difficulties
and dangers Of pedestrians in a city al
ready perilous from its trans. cycles
and motor cars. Yet some of these OPP
eratiOns are extremely interesting.
The original line, indeed, presented no
serious obstacles. 1t runs through Par
is from east to west from the Vim
cennes to the Neullly barrier, and
merely required tunnels under the Fau-
bourg St Antoine, the Rue de RivoIi,
the Champs Ulysses and the Avenue de
la Grande Armee. The branches from
the Place de TEtoiIe to the Trocadero
and the Port Dauphine were also easy
operations. But the line from the
Place de rEtoile to the Place de la Bas-
tile. a section of which was recently
opened. is of q different character.
The line had to pass over or under
three trunk railroads. for level cross
ings were out of the question with lines
by each of which hundreds Of trains
daily entered or left Paris The Metro
politan line accordingly tunnels under
the Western railroad in the Boulevard
des Batignolles, one hundred yards
from St Lazare station, but that line
is not very wide, nor is it much below
ground Not so with the northern and
eastern lines, which are both wide and
deep where they pass under the boule-
ward. The Metropolitan, therefore,
energies from underground, and at a
vey sharp gradient becomes a. viaduct,
passing along the middle of the boule-
ward 1t is very unsightly as l have
previously observed, but it is remark
able piece of engineering.
Still more noteworthy is the work 60
ing on under the Place de pOpera.
Three stories, so to speak, Of railways
are there being constructed. One line
from Auteuil to the Opera, another
from the Place du Danube at the
northeastern extremity Of Paris TO the
Palais Royal. and third from Cour-
Celles to Menilmontant all reach or pass

EXCITEMENT IN MYSTIC.

Mystic. Jan. 2-Burnetts Corners in
the town OF Groton has a burglary SEN
sation, which came near resulting in a
murder.
The residence OF John Caswell, who
resides about a mile from Old Mystic
village. was entered early this morning.
Before the burglar left the house he
shot at Mr. CaswelI, knocked him down,
hit Mrs. Caswell over the head with
piece of crockery, wounding her severe
~, and was himself SO badly handled
by Caswel that he left a trail of blood
from the house to the village Failing
to shoot Caswell. the burglar tried to
get away. Mrs. CasweIl in the mean
time was endeavoring to help her nus
band as best she could. The burglar
grabbed a heavy piece Of crockery and
struck the woman over the head, knock
ing her down and cutting her badly.
Caswell was also badly cut about the
head. but he pluckily continued to fight
his assailant and managed to get in
some blows that told on the desperadO's
head and face.
CasWeIl, partly stunned by the blows
lie had received, and knowing that his
wife had been badly injured, was equal
ly desperate to hold his assailant and
hand him over to the punishment that
he so richly deserved. The burglar FIN
ally broke away and ran from the
house.
News of the outrage was reported to
Sheriff Jackson, and an attempt will be
made to run down the perpetrator, who
cannot get far away from the scene
without being discovered. All the
neighborhood is in state of intense
excitement over the affair and if the
burglar falls into the hands of the irate
farmers it is likely to fare hard with
him.

YALE HAS FIVE MEN.
On Casper Whtney's All-American
Football Team,

On Casper Whitney's All-American
Football Team.
Casper Whitney, in the last issue of
Outing, announces his all-American
football team and substitutes. His
choice is interesting, as he does not
give as many men to Yale as the other
critics have done. The list is as fol-
lows:
F. B. Graydon (Harvard): Half-backs,
Chadwick (Yale); Barry Brown;
ends. Bowditch (Harvard); SheVlin
(Yale); tackles, Bunker (West PoinD;
Kinney (Yale); guards, Glass (Yale),
Warner (CornelD; center, Boyers
West POINT; quarter back, Rockwell
tYale).
On the list of substitutes he puts
Metcalf, Weeks, Brown, Davis, Farms
worth. Torney, Dewitt and Belknap.
This gives Yale five men on the first
team, and the captaincy, while Har-
ward and Princeton together are repre-
scented by two men only. On the list
of substitutes Yale has but two men.
