CAUSED EXCITEMENT.
Accidental Discharge of Pistol by At
torney Campbell Darlington.

An exciting incident attracted number
of persons to the office of Attorney Camp
bell Darlington, in the Webster law build
ing. about noon today The report of "a pis-
toll shot in the office caused some confusion,
and the curious people who were attracted
there fully expected to see a dead body in
the office.
They were agreeaby surprised to find
that nobody had been shot, but that a
weapon had been accidentally discharged
by the attorney. The revolver is owned by
William Webster, who is under indictment
for alleged assault, and was being tried by
Mr. Darlington when it was accidentally
discharged. Mr.. Webster's case is on the
assignment for trial in the Criminal Court
tomorrow, and when he called on his at
torney today he explained that the shooting
of Frank Thomas was really an accident.
He told his counsel that Thomas came to-
ward him with an ice hook, and he drew
the weapon to brighten him off. Although
it is a double-action revolver, his client
said, the trigger works unusually easy, and
1t was discharged as soon as he picked it
up. Mr.. Darlington was not satisfied with
weapon.
He had not had time to discuss the mat
ter before the weapon was discharged and
the bullet went so close to the client of the
attorney that the latter experienced mild
case of heart failure. The affair caused
some excitement in the vicinity of the Web
ster building and Police Court but was
soon over when it was learned that the bull
let had not inflicted a wound.

ROOSEVELT VICTORY.
Election Held Yesterday at the Wash
ington School for Bows.

A spirited. though somewhat one-sided.
election was held yesterday among the
teachers and boys OF the Washington
School. Australian ballots exactly like those
used In the actual elections in New York
were obtained. and the whole machinery of
the election was fully carried out. Copies
of the ballot had previously been posted in
the class rooms, and the whole method Of
voting was carefully explained by the head
master. AS a result only two ballots had
to be thrown out as defective. Two of the
boys, democrat and a republican, who
were appointed as judges, checked the vot-
ers' names off as they received their bal
lots, and afterward counted the votes.
Each voter, after receiving his ballot, went
into room by himself and marked 1t just
as he would have done in genuine cleo
ton. Some cast a split ballot, voting for
the republican President and the democratic
governor. Four boys who believed in cold
water cast their ballots for Swallow. The
republicans. however, won handsomely,
there being plurality of 16 in favor Of
Roosevelt.
There was much electioneering among the
boys, the son of prominent republican
senator being particularly active in the
work Of procuring large republican vote.

Police Department to Make Thorough
Investigation

The police department has been directed
by the Commissioners to investigate the
wholesale breaking of street lamps in
Creek lane, also kno was Lovers lane"
in Georgetown. The Washington Gaslight
Company recently wrote to the Commission
ers asking that the service in this street
be discontinued owing to the continued
breaking Of glass in the street lamps The
company stated that for number of years
they have endeavored to give a satisfactory
service but have found it impossible to
keep lanterns or glass on the posts, and re-
Gently they have been unable to keep the
burners themselves intact. They suggest
that as Massachusetts avenue has been
opened to approach the same vicinity
meant to be benefited by the Lovers lane
lights the latter service be discontinued.
Electrical Engineer Walter c. Allen called
the attention of the Commissioners to the
destruction of street lamps in various parts
of the city by the throwing Of stones. The
police in the vicinity of the vandalism have
been notified to keep sharp lookout to
apprehend any one destroying the lamps
