THE NEWS

NEWS.1

has received a letter through

the postoffice signed "Josie," which lays a very serious charge at the feet of a wellknown newspaper man whose "bump" for the "vicious" seems to be somewhat prominent. We refrain from publishing it for the present. It is just to say that the newspaper man does not belong to a weekly journal. —A fire, causing a loss of about

$400.

occurred at half-past two o'clock this morning on the corner of Second and Gookins streets.

house belonging to

H. P. Polk was discovered to be on fire, and an alarm was immediately turned in. Most all of the household goods were removed, but some of them, however, considerably damaged by water. The cause of the fire is unknown, there having been ne fire in the house except that in th» cook stove at supper-time. —Our worthy citizen and honorable gentleman, J. O. Jones, was in a theatre in Washington City, years ago. when the elder Bootli was playing there. Some careless person turned a camphene lamp over, and at once the flames ascended. The scene was horrible hundreds jumped out of the windows, aad the ground was strewed with mangled bodies. By the exertions of Mr. Jones, the flames were extinguished. Just such a scene may occur at Bissell's death-trap, and com bined with more disastrous results.

Nhootlng Affair.

One of the most cowardly attempts of murder was perpetrated yesterday evening, about five o'clock, in the drug store of Buntin & Armstrong, corner of Sixth and Main streets. The victim of the attempt was L. S. Harrison, a gentleman whose career among the social and business circles of this city has been of the highest and most creditable character. The person who made the attack, Dr. Wliittaker, of Middletown. is a person of low and degrades reputation, with hands already stained in the blood of his fellow man.

The circumstances are about as follows: Dr. W. called at the store early during the day, and left an order for some drugs. He returned in the evening, at the time above mentioned, under the influence of liquor, and drawing a pistol from his pocket, remarked that he was going to shoot the man who was sitting in his buggy in front of the store. Mr. Harrison, who was writing at the desk, on hearing the click caused by the adjusting of the hammer of the wea pon looked up in time to notice the muzzle directed at himself. He immediately threw up his right hand, and just at that moment the abominable scamp Whitaker fired, the ball taking effect in the hand of Mr. 11. The wounded gentleman stepped to a drawer where a revolver is kept, but before he could find it the cowardly would-be assassin had made his escape.

Mr. Harrison to-day filed an affidavit for the arrest of Whitaker for assault with intent to kill. We are glad to know that the result was not more serious and hope that the cowardly scamp who committed the deed will be handled as roughly as possible by the proper ^authorities. The act was wholly without excuse, and as Mr. W. has tried such things before let him suffer to the fullest extent of the law.

PERSONAL.

D. Smith, of the Chicago Express, is in the city, J. S. Davis, of Paris, visited the shooting match yesterday, at Strawberry Ilill.

Mrs. Lizzie Bap pen field hast gone to work for Espenhain & Albrecht. Mr. Albert Kussner in company with his two sisters left yesterday afternoon for a six months visit to Europe.

Notice.

The city authorities will take notice that the owners of the Opera House gave an exhibition there last night, and in doing so violated the most important law of the city. The poor devil who violates an ordinance is always punishable. Why not punish the owners of the Opera House when they violate a vastly more important law? Is there to be a distinction made between the rich and poor?

Albania's Great Famine In Persia

BALTIMORE,

May il.—A terribld ex

plosion occured late this afternoon just outside the north wall of Fort Mc Henry, which resulted in the instant killing of six persons and the wounding of two others. David R. Shannon & Co.. junk dealers, purchased a quanity of condemned sharpnell shells at the Fort and took part of them outside to break up. Francis G. Shannon, a brother of David R,, Witlierman Bush, John Farblee atul Henry Hamlin were the men engaged in the work, and Robert Steinmau. a boy named John Burk, an unknown boy and a German man were present looking on. An anvil was used for breaking, and one of the men held the shells on it, while another struck them with a heavy sledgehammer. Before the shells were subjected to blows, water was poured upon them. One or two shells had been broken, when a policeman appeared, land warned them of their danger. Shortly after a shell was struck and exploded, when the boy John Burk, and Herman Bush, Johu Farblee. Robert Steinmau, the German who wa» present, and the other boy were iustantlv killed, and Francis Shannon and Henry Hamlin severely wounded. The bodies of the killed were badly mutilated, atul that of the unknown German, who stood near, was literally blown to atoms. Por tions of his body were found in every direction, and the largest part discovered wasan arm. An official investigation will take place.

The report of the explosion was heard a distance of five miles.

A Father*a Inhumanity.

TIIORNTOWN,

Ind., May 11..—Mrs. Har

riet Addington died yesterday under pr culiar and distressing circumstances. She was married, and was the mother of four children, the eldest being but ten years of age. Early in the spring she, with her family, went to live with her father, who resides near Lebanon, Indiana, and while thetfe was taken sick, her illness being brought on by exposure from being com pelled to work in a s\igar-camp without sufficient clothing or protection from the inclemency of the weather. Some two week* ago her husband was driven away through fear of his life, his father-in-law threateningto kill him if he ever returned. On Thursday of last week the inhuman father compelled his daughter to leave, she being at the time very low with lung fever, and in no fit condition to be moved. She was brought to }t.his place in a destitute condition, and died yesterday, her death, no doubt, being hurried by the ex posure consequent upon her removal here, her father refusing to let her have either clothing or lurniture. Her remains were interred by the authorities, and funds were raised to send the children to friends in the southern part of the State.
