1 CELEBRATED iA
SHOOTING OF O'DOXOVAX ROSSA.
New York, Feb. 2. O'Donovan
Eossa -was sbot at six o'clock to-night,
at the corner of Broadway and Cham
bers street, by a woman giving the
name of Miss Dnncan of England.
Eossa was taken to the hospital, but
the wound is not thought to be dan
gerous. Later Eossa was shot in the back
under the right shoulder, in front of
the Stewart building, by a woman
named Yseult Hudley. The pistol
was thiity-two calibre. She fired five
shols, one only taking effect It is said
she was a nurse, and came from En
gland five months ago. She had an in
terview with Eossa on Saturday at
his office. The appointment- was
made by letter from him to her.
The woman is handsome. She drew
the revolver from her dress pocket
and fired one shot. Eossa threw his
hands above his head and cried, "I'm
shot!" and fell heavily. The woman
then fired the four remaining shots
at the prostrate man and calmly
walked away. A policemau saw the
pistol and arrested her. He did not
know she had shot any one till sTio
said at the station she had shot Eos
sa. She is calm and dignified and
refused to say why she shot him,
but it is presumed through revenge
for the London explosion.
Eossa occupies a cot a short dis
tance from Captain Phelan. The ball
took an upward course, and is not
necessarily fataL
At 8 o'clock to-night the physicians
considered Eossa's condition worso
and the coroner was summoned to
take his ante-mortem statement He
said the woman came to him Saturday
and represented herself as in favor of
the Irish cause and had adarge sum
of money to help the cause along.
She appointed a meeting for to-day
in the Stewart building There she
wanted him to sign a paper on behalf
of dynamite. Ho told her he was not
receiving money for that purpose.
She remarked that the place was too
puoiic to transact ousiness ana sug
gested they go somewhere else. On
reaching tlie pavement tlie woman
fell behind and commenced shooting
without a word.
Mrs. Eossa arrived at the hospital
at 10 o'elock and appeared greatly
moved. Eossa said to a friend he had
no doubt the shooting was the work
of the British government
The "womin said she was a Twidow,i
aged 25. She is handsome and intel
ligent in appearance, and is not insane
or a crank. When pressed for reasons
forshootingshe would only say, "lam
English, and shot him because he is
O'Donovan Eossa." She will be ar
raigned in the Tombs police court to
morrow. London, Feb. 2. The first news of
Eossa's shooting was received at mid
night and caused the wildest excite
ment, and expressions of general sat
isfaction and much hand shaking and
hurrahing, and lauding as a heroine
the female assassin of the despised
dynamiter.
New York, Feb. 2. O.Donovan
Eossa recently received the following
letter, signed "Nemesis," from Pitts
burg, Penn:
Friend: I and four of my compan
ions have vowed to rid the earth of
your loathsome presence. "We have
just received the news of the last das
tardly doings m London, by which one
of us has lost a near relative. Threo
of my friends have been tracking
your footsteps for the last twenty
eight hours, and I shall arrive in
New York on Monday, and I pledge
my word as an Englishman that
wherever and whenever I meet you,
either in public or private, I will send
a bullet through, your cowardly heart
You are a coward and a monster, but
I know you to be a cowardly assas
sin, and my friends and England
shall no longer suffer at the hands of
a viper who is afraid to strike as a
man who by God's help shall be shot
as a venomous beast. I am here
Eetribution for our murdered coun
trymen. The Champion Youth Walker of
Australia, Mr. Bernard Murphy, says:
"Previous to the match with Ormes
of Sydney, I was attacked with the
"stitch,' when a friend advised me to
try St. Jacobs Oil. I did so, rubbing
a little on my side. I have not been
troubled since, and won my match."
General C. B. Lamborn, land com
missioner of the Northern Pacific
railroad, in company with Paul
bchulzc, is making a reconnoissanco
of the country lying immediately
north of Yakima river to determine
the practicability of a largo ditch to
supply the great body of land with
water for irrigating purposes. It is
proposed, if arrangements can be
made, to take out a large proportion
of the water from the Yakima river,
at a point near Ellensburg, and dis
tribute the water over an area of
about 3,000,000 acres. Several capi
talists havo made an offer to pur
chase this immense tract of land pro
vided the scheme is practicable, and
that is the reason of General Lam
born's tour of inspection at this time.

A NEW CRIME UNDER THE SUN.
"When old Anderson Bromley an
nounced himself as caudidatc fur
justice of the peace, the people of
Buck Short towuBhtp felt that the
time when they were to have an able
and upright administration of judi
cial affairs had arrived. OldBrnmley
had uevcr opened a law book; there
fore lie was regarded as honest He
had never hesitated to take off his
coat and fight the best man m the
neighborhood; therefore he was-con-
sidered able. He had never been
backward in denouncing his enemies:
consequently ho was regarded as a
citizen of wisdom. "With these ac
complishments. hi3 election, iu the ex
pressive parlance of politics, was a
"walkover."' Shortly after Brumley
took his seat on the red oak woolsack,
a man named Billy Malone was ar
rested for stealing a grindstone.
'This here is a mighty important
case," said the magistrate, wheu the
culprit had been arraigned before
court. "In lookin' over these here
law books, I don't find no mention of
grindstones. It was a big oversight
in our legislature not to put down
grindstones in the books, nr it mout
have been knowed that some blamed
rascal in this part o' the state was a
coin to steal one. Folks in this hero
part o' the country, let me tell you,
will steal anything. "Wa'al in the ab
sence o' any statuary barin on the
subjeck, reckon I'll make this here
charge manslaughter in the first de
gree." "Your honor," eaid a lawyer, ''that
would be impossible."
"Wood it? Wa'al, I'll jes show yon
I'm running this here court"
"Your honor "
"Call me judge, if you please."
""Well, judge, there is no such thing
as manslaughter in the first degree."
"Ain't thar? "Well, I'll jes show
you Pm runnin' this hero court
Prisoner at the bar, I have longed
fur a opportunity o' teachin' a lesson
to the risin' generation. You havo
given mo that chance. I don't de
light in seein' a man fall from grace,
but when he docs fall, there ain't
nothin' that pleases mo so much as
to tangle my hand in the mines o
his calico shirt Manslaughter is a
mighty serious charge, young feller."
"I ain't slaughtered no man yit,
jedge."
. "Shetyonr mouUi,impudentVio-t
later o' the sacred law o'"the land.
No matter what you done, I say it
was manslaughter in the fust degree,
an' when a man disputes my word,
wV he'd better wusli that his bones
was made outen Injun rubber an
his back kivered with the skin o' a
yalligator. Young outrager o' the
principles o' civilization, for this
great crime of manslaughter in the
fust degree. I sentences yon to be
huug next Friday."
"Judge," exclaimed the lawyer,
springing to his feet, "this proceed
ing is impossible."
"Is it? Wa'al I'll jes show you Pm
runnin' this court When you git to
be a jedge, I won't come round tellin'
you what vou can do an what you
can't."
"Great Caesar, judge, such a course
as you are taking is a violation of the
state constitution."
"Is it? Wa'al Til jest repeal the
state constitution right here. This
feller oughter be hung, an' if Iliad
catch him ten days ago, whuther or
not he had committed manslaughter
in the fust degreo or stold a grind
stono in the second, which is the
same, I wonld havo sentenced him to
be huutr. Mr. Constable, take charge
o' this man, an' see that he is hung
tip in a respectable manner. Any
lawyer what don't wanter bo sarved
in the same way, had better keep his
mouth shet Pm runnin' this court"
