Sad Accident.

Ed Link and Joe Enslen, two 49,
year-old boys of lakewood, came up
to hunt over Eugene Madden's farm
ten miles south of the city.
During the afternoon Ed was
about ten feet in advance of Joe
when the latter's gun went off, the
entire load ofshot and wads tearing
their way into the calf of Eds leg.
DR.. McNutt of this city was sum-
moned but having a case he could
not leave, sent DR.. Guilford who
rendered all surgical services posi-
BILE.
Later, DR.. Chiffon of Hannibal ar
rived and made a thorough exami-
nation and preparation to take the
wounded boy to his home on the
morning Burlington train Saturday.
From what DR.. Chiffon told us
Friday it is a question if the leg or
possibly life, can be saved. He said
the leg is so badly torn that one
can poke their fingers through it in
any direction.

A Drums Story and Other Tales.
BY Delavan S. Miller.
The author of this volume is not
a literary man but a business man,
who, at odd times has been putting
down on paper some recollections
of stirring scenes that he, as a lad
of thirteen years, had a part.
This book is like those letters the
soldiers used to write home, full of
personal experiences, grumbles of
hardships, talk of comrades and
tales of sacrifices cheerfully borne
for principle.

Schoell- Del ashmutt.

The marriage Of Mr.. G. T. De-
Lashmutt and Miss Pauline Schoell
occurred yesterday morning at 9
o'clock, at the residence of the
brides mother, Mrs. Mary Schoell.
Rev. W. Bechtold performed the GER
emory in the presence of only the
intimate relatives of the contract
ing parties. The bride was a valu-
ed clerk in the John Bosch store in
the city, and is an excellent young
lady, and we'll thought of both here
and in the city. The groom is en-
ployed as clerk in the Office force
at the shops, and is a young man
of excellent habits, steady and in
dustrious. They Immediately left
for the west on "a wedding trip of
several days. Burlington Hawk
Eye.
1t was more than a surprise when
George phoned his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. E. DeLashmutt of south of
this city that he had married, but
when he and his bonnie bride came
in for Thanksgiving dinner, the
homefolks readily took the pretty
bride to their hearts and she be-
came one of the family. George
was almost reared in this city
where he has many friends who
wish them we'll. His sister, Mrs
Ralph Wood and husband went
home with them Saturday for a
visit.

Probable Abolition of Negro
Suffrage.

Senator Cullom. Republican, made
it clear enough in a Washington in
terview on the 7th-we found it in
the Chicago Tribune October 8th-
that Southern Negroes are to be
disfranchised. He himself evident
ly wants it done. For, as he sees
it, the solid south" must be taken
away from the politically bankrupt
Democratic party and brought into
the Republican fold, where it can
be used as a buttress for plutocracy;
and this cannot be done as long as
the Republican party stands for
suffrage regardless of color, even
nominally. In Senator Cullom's in
terview the Negro who looks may
plainly see the handwriting on the
wall for the citizenship of his race

taken from real life. the delivery of
love letter to a woman fifteen
years after it is written and after

trustee of the Barron Library of Wood
bridge, was notified yesterday by City
Clerk Charles Fl. Lambert to remove
the building or Irving street, this city,
known at Flats carriage factory,
which is unoccupied. The building,
which is 400 feet deep, was built i'll 1856
by William II. Flat, who in the pros
porous days of Railway carried on a
carriage business, employing several
hundred men. Since his death thirty
years g the shop has been occupied
by a number of firms, the last one
being F. L. Graves, who vacated the
building about two years ago.
Since then it has been the resort of
boys and at night of tramps. The win
dows are broken and it is fast becoming
a wreck. Complaint was made to
Street Commissioner Hughes by citi-
zens, who feel hat the building is
dangerous and unless removed, being
in the heart of the city, may cause
a serious c~onflagration. The city will
take action to have the building RACED

JUL|ANO JURY IS
UNABLE TO AGREE
AND| DISCHARGED
Freebooter Gottlieb Makes State
ment Regarding His Con-
nectiOn With Runner

Unable to agree as to the guilt or
innocence of Samuel Juliano, charged
with the embezzlement of $25, the jury
that heard his story in the Court of
Quarter Sessions yesterday was dis
charged last night after having been
at it for -four and one-half hours.
Juliano is a saloon-keeper at 10 Cut
Ter street and incidentally a runner
for lawyers. 1t was in this way that
he got into trouble with Joseph Bag
mani, a fish peddler, OF II Sheffield
street, and dragged Freebooter Theo-
dore D.. Gottlieb, who is a lawyer, into
the case through the latter's connec-
ton with the Legal Aid Society as its
attorney.
The freeholder had this to say to-
day:
"Of the dozen or so cases this man
testified to bringing me most were sup
posedly charitable n prosecuted with
out fee or reward. | did have two or
three other small matters in addition
in the three or four years / knew this
man, but they were bona fide, legiti-
mate cases, n came In a way any
lawyer would not question.
"At no time was Juliano ever in my
service or employ. directly or indirect
ly, as a runner, tout or chaser, and 1
have never practised, nor will l ever
practise, law in that manner"
