Hotchkiss, a young man about 30 years of age, and the head of a wholesale firm here, was wounded last night in a difficulty next door to the house of his mistress. He and the owners of the premises, upon which he had entered to get a bucket of water, had warm words, which resulted in a resort to pistols. Five shots were exchanged at short iange. Hotchkiss was shot in the side and a bullet perforated his hat. The other man, whose name is Wilhelm, was not struck. The wounded man walked to the room of his mistress and two physicians were summoned. Every effort was made to conceal his identity, he going so far as to beg to be removed put of the city in his precarious condition, which was out of the question. His physicians were put under oath to conceal his name, but were unable to prevent the press from discovering it. The news created great excitement. Hptchkiss is handsome, wealthy and a popular man, and strong in financial circles, as well as in society, where he is a leader. He was engaged to a beautifhl young lady, a member of one of the proudest families in the state. His condition is such that he cannot be removed to his residence, and he now lies at the home of his mistress. A Father’s Heroism. Associated Press. Chicago, May i6.4The heroism of John Vorbanck in saving his infant child from certain death, nearly cost him his own life yesterday afternoon. His 18 monthsold babe had toddled down to the Northwestern rail,'.ad track, near his house, and unseen by the mother sat down between the tracks to play. The whistle from an approaching switch engine attracted the attention of the father, who was at work in the yard, and glancing up he was horrified to see his child sitting on the track calmly watching the swift approach of the heavy engine. After an instant of mute terror the father rushed toward the track and throwing himself directly in front ot the engine seized the child in both hands and threw its little form safely to one side of the track. He had no time to save himself, but was caught by one of the wheels and thrown prostrate across the rail. His left leg was horribly mangled, und it was afterwards necessary to amputate it. He also received injuries about the hips and head. Vorbanck is a young, hard working man, and had been married about three years, this being his only child. The Color Line Squabble. Associated Press. Charleston, S. C., May 16.—The South Carolina Episcopal Diocesan convention met yesterday morning, and the speeding delegates organized an independent body.

A resolution was passed by the seceding convention refusing to return unless the president of the convention agreed to entertain the appeal of the seceders. The convention proper rejected the proviso, and communication between the two bodies ceased. The seceders will issue a manifesto to the parishes on the subject of existing differences. The convention adjourned sine die, to meet at Anderson, S. C., May next. The Workmen Firm. Associated .Press. Chicago, May 15.—Fully 3,000 people were present'at the meeting of the bricklayers and stonemasons this morning and more turned away, being unable to gain admittance to the hall, and the following resolution was offered by those present: Resolved, That we strictly abide by our decision to demand Saturday as payday, and refuse to work on any other terms. This was received with roars that shook the windows, the assembly rising to their feet and shouting “Aye!” Not a nay was heard. Draped in Black. Associated Press. New York, May 16.—The Blue laws were even more rigidly enforced yesterday in this city than last Sunday. In consequence the saloon keepers on the New Jersey side did a rushing business.

In many cases guests had purchased hotties of wine on Saturday and Sunday brought it from their rooms to drink Sunday at meals. At Delmonico’s, and other up town liostelries, an intense stillness reigned in the bar rooms. At the Hoffman House the bar was draped in black. Forest Fires. Associated Press.

Fires are widespread, and occurring on every quarter of the peninsula. There has been no wind at all for three days, but today it is blowmg very fresh from the south, and reports of losses will probably pour in tonight. Several towns have been saved with difficulty. Forces of men are fighting the fire all over the peninsula. Much valuable pine has been destroyed and a great deal of wood and railroad ties, not yet delivered. Everything is terribly dry in the city and vicinity. There are no fires within eight miles of Marquette. Jay Gould’s Purchases. Associated Press. St. Louis, May 16.—In addition to the ground at the corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets purchased some days ago by Jay Gould, and upon which he will erect an immense five stoiy building for the headquarters of the Missouri Pacific railway, he has now acquired another large piece of land on the corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets, and will proceed at once to build a six story structure to be used as the central offices of the Pacific express company. When this building is completed, which will be during the summer, the executive offices, now at other points, will be brought here and the management of the company will be centered in this city. A Compromise in Florida. Associated Press. St. LOUIS, May l5.—A dispatch from Tallahassee, Fla., says that since the withdrawal of Mr. Pasco from the senatorial race there has been considerable talk of a compromise candidate, and that the name most prominently mentioned for the position is that of S.

Judge Woods’ Successor. Associated Press. Washington, May 16.—A prominent southerner, who is on the most intimate terms with the president, is authority for the statement that Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, is by far the most probable successor to Associate Justice Woods, of the supreme court. According to this authority the president would prefer to make the appointment from Louisiana, rather than from any other of the half dozen states within the circuit, and Senator Gibson in every respect meets the requiiements for the position, which is represented to be tl\e ambition of his life. A Nebraska Cyclone. Associated Press. Blue Springs, Neb., May 16.—A terrific cyclone swept over this town last evening, blowing down the school house, which is a complete wreck.

DUBLIN, May 16,—The Mayor of Cork, in replying to an invitation from Lord Chamberlin to assist in the jubilee festivities, says that in view of the crimes bill, the invitation is little short of an outrage upon the self respect of the Irish people.

Associated Press. Buffalo, N. Y., May 16.—A daring attempt at highway robbery was made at noon yesterday on W. A. McCormick, cashier of the Niagara Elevator.

O’Brien and Excitement in Canada. Associated Press. New York, May 16.—A special from Ottawa, Ont., says there is a strong feeling here over O’Brien’s coming to the capital.

He is coming and in the present excited state of the public pulse it looks as though a row is imminent. He will draw the largest crowd here of any city in Canada and if blood is not shed it will be because the good sense of the Orangemen will prevent their making an attack on him. The feeling of the Canadian people generally is that the move is a most injudicious one and that while O'Brien will make no converts he will awakenja feeling ofhostility which should have lain dormant and would in time have died a natural death. The Wily Blaine. Associated Press. Boston, May 16.—An Augusta, Maine, dispatch says: ‘ James G. Blaine, Gov.

It is to mature these arrangements that he has taken his faithful followers to Mount Desert to perfect his plans.” A Chance for Hayes to Quit Raising Chickens. Associated Press. Chicago, May 16.—A Times special from Columbus, Ohio, says: “It is learned that the trustees of the Ohio state university have made a proposition to Expresident Hayes to take the|presiden • cy of the university and a strong effort is being made to get him to accept.
