A Nashville 'Sensation.
Associated Press.
Nashville, Tent;., May 16.—J. B.
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. The representation at
the meeting of the seceders embraced
lay delegates from twenty parishes and
five ministers. The convention proper
passed resolutions of regret on the departure
of the seceding members and invited
their return. 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.

Chicago, May 15.—Fully 3,000 people
were present'at the meeting of the bricklayers
and stonemasons this morning and

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.
Thousands of people, Germans especially,
crowded the ferry boats, on their
way to enjoy music and beer. In the
hotels the enforcement by the liw
evoked much indignant comment. 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.
Marquette, Midi., May 16.—The

days and three nights continuonsly, and

shores and lake. 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.

Chestnut streets purchased some days

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

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.

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

for the position is that of S. R. Mallory,
son of S. R. Mallory, United States senator
from 1851 to 1861, and secretary of
the Cor.fedeiate navy during the rebellion.
• He is said.to be a representative
of the new south school, an able lawyer,
a man of fine ability, the choice of the
young democracy of the state, and possessing
the confidence of the entire
party.
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. School had
been dismissed only a few minutes before,
and the only occupant was W. H.
Rambaugh, the janitor. Ths falling debris
broke five of his ribs, mashed his
breast and broke his leg in two places.
He will die. About 5 o’clock lightning
struck Emanuel Basoris’ residence, killing
his daughter Mamie, aged 20. The
bolt struck her on the breastbone. She
was sitting on a lounge looking out of
the vv.indow.
Boycotting the Cunarders.
Associated Press.
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. The Mitchellstown branch of
the National League has requested the
people that their district boycott the
Cunard line, and the advice is already
being followed.
Attempt at Highway Robbery.
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. McCor­mick
was on his way from the bank with
a satchel containing $1,300, when he was
assaulted near Chicago and Ohio streets
by a stranger, who threw pepper in his
eyes and attempted to snatch the satchel
from him. McCormick pluckily held on
to the bag, despite the pain he suffered,
and several persons coming up just then
the thief beat a hasty retreat. The police
are on his track.
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. On the one hand the Orangemen
declare that if he comes to the
home of the governorgeneral they will
meet him, while the friends of home
rule, who are equally strong, declare they
will protect him if need be at the point
of the pistol. 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. Bodwell and Joe Manley, Blaine’s
wellknown lieutenants, have been at
Bar Harbor for a few days making j r parations
for the summer. In spite of the
statements that Blaine intends to sail for
Europe June 6th, it is generally understood
that he has no such intentions.,
On the contrary, it is said by his friends
that he is making ready for a vigerous
campaign, and that Bar Harbor will be
his political headquarters this summer.
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
