THEIR NERVE WITH ’EM. ‘ Ohio Editors Fight to a Finish in the Street. l A TERRrIBLE and most sensational tragedy occurred at Columbus, O. Two men were killed and several wounded in a fusillade of pistol shots on a public street filled with people. The terrible affair was the outgrowth of a newspaper feud which has been raging for several weeks | between the publishers of the b‘u-:uluy[ World and the Sunday Capitol of that city. Colonel W. J. Elliott, editor of the Capitol, shot and instantly killed Albert iDsborng, city editor of the Warltd. W. L. Hughes, an old gentleman who was standing near by, was killed by a stray bullet from Elliott's pistel Two weeks ago the World made charges against Elliott’s family, insinuating that a female relative of Elliott was not what she ought to be. Elliott retaliated the following Sunday with a four-column article charging . W. Levering, editor of the World, with being the joint proprietor of a house of evil charactor. OUT OF DEATH’S JAWS.

‘ - EVENTS OF THE WEEK. : EASTERN OCCURRENCES. . A ymornrr and four children perished in a tenement-house fire at Brooklyn, " N. Y. There were nine families in the building. All these escaped with the exception of Mrs. John Henry, a widow living in the third story, who stopped to dress her four children. She stayed too long, and when she finally attempted to | get down the stairs she was overcome by the smoke. When the fire was extinguished it was found.that the mother and children had been burned to death. Tue new steamship Havel, of the North German Lloyds lize, which left her dock in Hoboken, N. Y., for Bremen, ran into and sunk an unknown bark in the lower bay. It is reported that several of the bark’s crew were drowned. Tuae Grand Opera House at Rochester, N. Y., was destroyed by a fire An explosion in the furnace preceded the fire, and before the firemen arrived the flames had made such progress tha: the building could not be saved. The Windsor Hotel, adjoining, was badly damaged, the upper stories being destroyed and the interior gutted. The hotel was occupied at the time. The losses are: On opera house, SOO,OOO, partially insured; on hotel, $40,000, partially i (sured. THERE was a collision in the middle railway tunnel through Fourth avenue, | in New York City, between two trains of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Company. One was the New Haven local, leaving the Grand Central station at 7:02. It ran into a train carrying employves on their way to the yard at Mott Haven. The wreck soon took fire and burned fiercely, owing to the great draught in the tunnel. There was a ! second collision, a light engine going from the vard dashing into the wreck. Six lives were lost through the first col- l lision and several persons were injured, all probably employes. Urox making inquiries, Mrs. Howell, the wife of a T’hiladelphia theatrical manager, learned that “Doggy” Doyle, in jail at Springficld, «Ohio, for the murder of his mother, is her brother, from whom she had lbeen separated in infancy. WHILE coasting at Burlington, Vt., a traverse with fifteen persons ran into a snow bank throwing the ccasters in all directions. A projecting rod of a switch pierced Mrs. John Fenniff’s left eye and entering the brain caused instant death. At Wilkesbarre, Pa., the body of Edward Gallagher was found in the | Janesville mine. This is the flrst of the seventeen men who were imprisoned by the rush of water two weeks ago. AT New York, engineer Lewis Fowler and William McManus, an operator, are charged with having caused the disaster in the Fourth avenue tunnel. A pisasTtrouUs fire W the cellar of a Brooklyn tenement house resulted in the death of six persons. The building was occupied by thirty-two families, who are left destitute by the destruction of their homes. Three alarms were sent out, but before an entrance could be made to the building the fire had cut off all escape to the ground by means of the staircase. The whole front of the building was covered with fire-escapes, and most of the tenants came out upon them and |

The pomp and circumstance of war, the l thunder of cannon, the mea-ured tolling of bells, the presence of a multitude of 100,000 people, hushed to breathless silence in their respect for the dead, and the grief for his death—all these combined to invest the occurrence with a solemnity and awe indescribable.

Twenty Thousand Men in Line—The Services at the House .Conducted by the Dead Hero's Son According to the Catholic Ritual. At an early hour the people began to assemble in West Seventy-first street opposite the residence of General Sherman. From almost every house along the street the American flag floated, the greater number being in deep mourning. There were few visitors. Only the most intimate friends and a"ew old soldiors were admitted, and the latter‘wcre obliged to show certificates that, they had served in the army. Rev. Thomas Sherman, whose arrival has been so anxiously awalited, arrived. He was welcomed home, not by his beloved father, but by his brother, P. T. Sherman, and his sisters, Mrs. Thackara and Miss Rachel Sherman. He did not g 0 then to view his father’s remains, but after a short, sad talk with his brother and sisters, retired for the night to pass the hours till morning in restless sleep. During the morning a large floral shield was received at the house from the ‘West Point cadets. The shield was six feet in height and four feet broad. It was made of white and blue immortelles and bore the mscription, “William 'Tecumseh Sherman, from his West Toint boys’ class of 1840.” A short Catholic service was performed about the casket of General Sherman. To this none were admitted but the members of the family and near relatives. The services were very simple and consisted of prayer and singing. After these services the casket was closed. President Harrison did not look upon the remains of the General. The family sent an invitation to him, but the President kindly replied that he pre- | ferred to keep with him the remem- | brances of the General while alive. } The caisson, draped in black and drawn by four white horses, was drawn 'up in front of the Sherman house. The ' horses were mounted by regulars, and an | army officer was in charge. At the caisson was an orderly leading the black charger which bore the military trap- ' pings of the General. A black velvet covering almost hid the horse from view. } But the boots and saddle were plainly | conspicuous. The services over, the first -move toward the formation of the proces- | sion was began. r A squad of the Sixth Cavalry formed to the left of the house in the middle of the street. The caisson came up in front of the house. Generals Howard, Slocum, Johnston, and other military dignitaries, formed in two lines on the walk and made a passare-way to the caisson. As i the pallbearers left the house, an army band out toward Central Park began ! playing a funeral march. The casket of- ! the General was borne slowly to the | funeral carrviage amid uncovered heads. The procession began to. move down ; Eighthavenue, but the progress was very slow. Os the side streets were hundreds -of carriages waiting for a place in the immense procession. The order of the column, following the relatives and family, was as follows President and Vice President of the United | States. | Members of the Cabinet.

There is a good story told of the outwitting of a gambler and a confederate, who was looking on, by an apparent innocent. The game, which was Napoleon, is played in this manner: Five cards are dealt and the players in turn declare the number of tricks each claims to make. Whoever declares the highest number plays against the rest, and the first card led is trumps. There were dn this case only two players, and T the “innocent” was dealt ace, king, queen, knave of clubs and ace of diamonds. He naturally backed himself to get five tricks, the chances in favor of his doing so bei. g enormous. He intended, of course, to make clubs trumps, but the readiness with which his wagers were accepted by the onlooker who saw his upponent’s hund, aroused his suspicions, and when the stake had risen to a high amount, ‘ he made his solitary diamond the i trump, and found his adversary with five clubs, and so made every trick. e e e A Little Theory.

A Parisian paper recently chronicled this true tale of “The Smoker’s Revenge.” Scene: A railway compartment. “Madame, do you object to smoking ?” No reply. The question is repeated with & similar result. Thinking the lady léaf, the male passenger made a pretense of lighting his cigar. “Do it if you Jdare!” exclaimed Ma- { dame Potin, with an unearthly gleam in her eve. “Just to see what'll happen, here goes!” he said, stung by the lady’s tone. And he applied the match. The lady bounced from the seat, and, snatching the cigar from his lips, threw it out the window. “There is a compartment for smok- - ers,” she hissed. The gentleman, quite taken back. thought it best to be quiet, while secretl Lemoaning his lost havana. Five minutes’ silence. Madame Potin flushed with her triumph. Suddenly the lady’s muff appeared instinet with life,and presently a little poodle put out his head to take a breath of air. The gentleman arose, smiling affably, seized the little dog by the tail and tenderly dropped it out of the carriage window, saying in dulcet tones. “Madame, there is a compartment for dogs!”—lilustrated American. Maxims of Talleyrani. Tuor love of glory can only create a hero; the contempt of it creates a great man. I THEOLOGIANS resemble dogs, that gnaw iarge bones for the sake of very little meat. A ricn man despises those who flatter him too much, and hates those who do not flatter him at all. LIFE, to a younz man, is like a new aciuaintance, of whom he grows disZusted as he advances in years. THERE are two things to which we never grow sccustomed-—the ravages of time and the injustice of our fellow-men. BorH erudition and agriculture ought to be encouragzed by government: wit and manufactures will come of themselves, Tue reputation of a man is like his shadow—gigantic when it precedes him, and pigmy in its proportions when it | follows. - Tk errors of great men and the good deeds of reprobates should not be reck : oned in our estimates o: their respective characters.
