Eungeue H. lii-ieiituall, sou of Lieutenant Colonel It. Holier Brietnall, of tlie, First New Jersey Volunteers, accidentally killed liis wife this afternoon with a shotgun. As he sank expiring he fell In a faint, and. as he is afflicted with heart dis ease, his condition is regarded as criti cal, i us -in Mr. and Mrs. Brientnall were in the kitchen of their home. The wife was preparing a lunch, and her lmsbnnd sat on a chnir loading shells nnd making ready for a hunting trip. Mr. Brient nall had inserted in his breechrloadling gun a shell loaded with birdsJiot. In some manner the hammer descended on the shell, and Mrs. Brientnall, who stood within a few feet of the muzzle, receiv ed the charge full in the left I With a scream she fell to H. floor and died without siK-aking n word. The charge had penetrated her lung, tearing a large hole in her breast. 'I lie servants and neighbors heard the shot and ran in to find the wife dead and the husband' on the floor uncon scious. The gun, stil smoking, lay where it had dropiied from his hands. Lieutenant Colonel Brientnall and a doctor were hastily summoned). When they arrived they found that Patrollman Golden had picked up the unconscious man and laid him on n divan. County Physician Washington was summoned and the patrolman was instructed to consider Mr. Brientnall under arrest. The -prisoner's condition was such that lie was not taken to a station house. On the table in the kitchen were a number of loaded and unloaded shells ,'ind a machine for forcing powder and' shut inito the pajier coverings. The whole appearance of the room seemed lo bear out the statement made by Mr. Brientnall after he recovered con seiuusneKM that the shooting was purely accidental.

Agoncillo fold of the great wealth that could be made by employing cheap Filipino lalsir when peace should lie restored. He shocked the Senator by suggesting that the war could lx ended cheaply and quickly by purchasing some of the relsd leaders. Mr. Ilanna was indignant when Forbes made his proposal, but this feeling was succeeded by amusement at the Scotch man's audacity. WILL APPEAL THE COX CASE.

La., Sept. 12. -Tlie Cox extradition case will be taken to a higher court, and the attorneys wh- represent the Culm n fugitive declare he will yet escape the necessity of facing his ac cusers. Mr. Westerfield. one of his con- sel, said: "We continue to stand on th ground that Cuba is a foreign nation andpur courts have no jurisdiction in the prem ises. Im quoting from, tile treaty of pence Judge Duggan uverWMPit the facts that the United States, during its oeeitpamry, assmimes only those obliga tions that arise under intcruaOona) law.' This Is not a matter of inteinution.il law; it is a question of local civil iaw. with which we have no more to do than the man in the nioon. "None of the rulings quoted by Judg.

The President'' Keen Interest 'Defeat Might Not Prevent His Renomlnation, But it Would Detract from the En thusiasm for Him, Washington, Sept. 13. Although Ohio Republicans laugh at the idea of a de feat in that State this year, it Is well known the President is watching poli tics there with intense interest. He will most certainly give all the assist ance he can command, and notwith standing the predictions of forty or fif ty thousand majority, all the Indications show that the Republican leaders, local and national, from the President down, will work just as (hard in the next nix weeks as if victory was anything but assured. The President cannot afford ' to lose his own State this year, for, while it might not prevent his' 'renoml nation i 1900, it would undoubtedly detract largely from the enthusiasm In his behalf. It is a kind of a popular idea that Ohio is one of Che reliable Republican States, yet from 1860 to 1887 it was rep resented in the Senate by one Democrat and a portion of the time by two, and several times has had a very big Demo cratic representation in the House. Since tlie Civil War it has had several Democratic Governors. In 1892 Cleve land got on elector from Ohio, and If the leimoCTa.t8 had made the least figlit that year he would have gotten them aU- iil In 187i Mr. Tilden was appealed to to make a daish for Ohio. He de clined and put his work into Indiana. When the election was over every sa gucioiiB politician of both parties saw tluit Hayes could have been easily beaten in his own State had not Tilden permitted it to go by default Mr. Tilden always lamented his mistake. Had it not been made, there would 'have l,een no Electoral Commission, the country would have escaped all the unrest of th winter of 1876-'77, and a Democratic President would have come into his own. The entire course of politics In Ohio from 1807 down to the present day is proof tluit, brag as the Republicans may, they always take off their coats when the Democrats put up any kind of a tight. They are "humping" now, and will dare to take no rest. One of ' the McLeua managers, who was here to-day, said "they may beat us by 50, 0(H), as they claim, but we have got them scared, and there will be no let up." It is said here the strongest ef forts will lie put forth to Induce John Sherman to take part in the Republican campaign. The administration and its friends must feel very bad If rhey do so humble themselves as to go to Sber- COMPLIMENTARY GERMAN. The Dancing Season Opened Last Night Copies. (Charlotte Observer.)
