Emmctt, the actor, made an attempt last night to murder his wife, who is known dn the stage as Emily Lytton. The shooting occurred a short distance from their temporary residence In this city shortly before 8 o'clock. Emmett had been Indulging In strong drink, and after his wife returned home a quarrel ensued. When the shooting occurred there were very few people on the street, and the best account of eye witnesses was given by Frank Itcr gez, 12 years of age. The couple had evidently been prac ticing upon their mandolin and guitar, for only a few minutes before the first sign of trouble appeared, the music of these Instruments was heard in Em melt's apartments. Suddenly the front door was thrown open by Mrs. Emmett, who pushed their little 8-year-old pro tege, Gaby Synott, out on the front porch ahead of her. "I will shoot you; I will kill you." yelled Emmett, who was In the front room. "No you won't," answered his wife as she closed tho door, and, hastily In serting the key, snapped the lock. Pushing Baby Synott aside Mrs. Em mett ran along the sidewalk. Emmett rushed to the front door and started to spring to the ground, a distance of six feet. In doing so his foot caught and he fell In the garden. In his hand was a revolver. Springing to his feet he started in pursuit of his wife. She saw her husband and the revolver and with a scream, redoubled her flight. She cried loudly for help as she ran. An Elglit-Ycnr-Old llcrolno.

He advanced toward his vic tim as though to shoot again, but as he leveled his pistol the child seized the hand that held the weapon. The actor paused and looked at the little one In astonishment, for he had not seen her before. He pushed her from him, stepped back and placed the muzzle of his weapon against his temple, Siaby Synott again sprang upon the would-be murderer, seeming to climb up his limbs. In an Instant the little hand was gripping the barrel of the pistol, which she pushed away from his tem ple. She clung to his arm so that he could not use the weapon again. Em mett stood for a moment ns if be wildered, and then threw the weapon Into a garden. Then the 8-year-old heroine full to the sidewalk In a faint. Bystanders quickly gathered and one picked up the child. No one would touch the man, who walked up the street and sat upon his doorstep until an officer arrived. Mrs. Emmett was assisted to the receiving hospital. The police stated that Emmett was un doubtedly under the Influence of liquor. Mrs. Emmett, at the hospital, protest ed against the doctors probing and In sisted upon leaving the hospital. Final ly she consented to allow them to probe if they would desist when she cried stop." Dr. Redding probed but was unable to find the bullet. It had glanced up ward along the bone nnd had In all probability lodged under the skin in the scalp. In answer to questions she snld her husband had struck her Inside the house with the butt end of a re volver, nnd she ran into the street. He followed her and pointed the pistol at her, when she struck his hand upward and the bullet went Into the air. When told she would have to remain In the hospital, she refused to do so, and she was allowed to leave. A San Francisco Girl. Mrs. Emmett Is a San Francisco girl and made her debut In this city several years ago as "Mlna" In "Little Lord Fauntelroy." According to a friend's Btory, Emmett and his wife have not lived happily together since they ar rived in this city, and their quarrels drove Emmett almost crazy at times. Mra. Emmett is also said to have caused him to put all property given blm by his father into her name. Ac cording to the same Informant, she has lived extravagantly, and Emmett now has little ready money. It Is said his most Intimate friends were not at all surprised that he tried to take the life of his wife. Other friends take an opposite view and state that the fault Is on Emmett's side; that he was abusive to his wife. Kmmet Takes the Pledge, Mrs. Emmett Is tonight entirely out of danger. The operation disclosed the fact that the bullet had not entered the head. The hospital physicians stick to the theory that the wound was made by a bullet. Emmet claims the entire af fair Is a blank to him. He Immediately took tho pledge and says he will never drink another drop. There was an ef fectlonate scene between Emmett and his wife after he was released. CUBANS FIGHTING. Rebels Aro Gaining Strength and Confi dence Dally. Santiago de Cuba, May 29.

AH the Hhots took effect. The bullet fired nt t'oehran struck him In the mouth and traveled to the base of his right ear. Iloth of Ohl's wounds were in the stomach. The students dropped to the sidewalk and were quickly re moved to the college hospital. Collins was placed under arrest by Marshal 11. 13. Tyrell. He took his prisoner to the town lockup, but had got Jilm scarcely Incarcerated before word of the shooting reached every ear in Princeton nnd the students gathered on Nassau street by the hundreds. A re port gaining circulation that both Old and Cochran were dylnyr, the students grew very excited and demands that the negro be lynched went up on every sldo. "Hang him, hang him!" was nn exclamation repeated frequently. At the lock-up is was heard that some of the students had procured a rope and were marching there lna body. Marshal Tyrell, fearing for the prison er's safety, handcuffed him nnd re moved him to a piece of woods about a quarter of a mile from the college and kept him there until after mid night.

Collins stood in the door of the hotel bar and reviled tho students and dared them to enter. They undertook to do eo, when the negro whipped out his weapon and began the firing. This is the story of the affair as given by persons who were on the scene soon after the shooting. The negroes would not Fee reporters in tho county jail today. Downs bears the reputation of being a peaceable man and he claims that the students assaulted them with tense rails. Tonight the wounded students are ly ing In a critical condition.

Snn Francisco, June 9. Miss Nellie Harrington was murdered one week ago in her fiat on Ellis street. She was killed by ome visitor whom she cx pected and whose object was evidently to secure possession of Borne documents that he kmiw were In the room. The murderer tried to efface all traces of crime by setting the place on fire, and If he had not left the window open he would probably have succeeded and the woman's death would hive been accepted as the result of acciflent. At the Inquest it was brought out that ex-Stato Senator Ruck owed the dead-woman $2,600 and that he was on Intimate terms with her. Among the dead woman's 'papers was a note exe cuted Jointly by Senator Ruck and his son-in-law for 12,000. In another en velope were found a note executed by Bunck for $051 nnd his photograph. On the back of this envelope was an en dorsement by Miss Harrington thnt this should be burned without opening in case of her death. It Is also known that Mi?a Harrington called at Ruck's house tho day before the murder and made a scene, declaring she must have her money or notes of Ruck. When Ruck heard of this he was angry and started for the city. As Ruck Is dead, however, the coroner's Jury will probably not charge him with the crime, but will ndd It to 'Frisco's long roll of criminal mysteries. THE DEADLY MAXIM GUN. An Interesting and Successful Exhibition ut Snndv Hook Provlnu Ciroimdu. New York, June 9. Successful tests of the murderous Muxiin automatic rapid-firing gun toou pi.icn yivmruny at tho Sandy Hook proving grounds before the ordnance- board. The gun weighed twenty-five pounds. It is mounted when In use upon a tripod and consists of a single barrel attached to a boxlike-affair, which contains the rather complicated machinery. This can lie nrsanged to fire either one fhot a week or (100 a minute. The ammuni tion, whit is .I'tCI calibre, Is fed to the gun by belts containing 100 cartridges each, and these are exploded by a trig ger arranged In a bundle similar, to thnt of nn ordinary revolver. Avt long as the trigger Ms pulled back the gun will send forth a steady fire of death dtallnfr middles. T!:o Instant the trig ger Is nil as-d the firing ccares. In the heavier guns the hurreU aic kept eo i-'d by water jackets. Thir!yi-l.-;ht grains of Fmnke-lejs powder n;? u:s.d in each cartridge. While in a. ti in the' Jain costs $''. a minut'i for continuous auto mat firing. Supposing the gun to be packed and upon a soldier's back, one test was to ascertain the- time It would take to prepare the gun suddenly for firing. Mr. lluiier was the soldier, with the gun dismantled nnd strapped in Its case upon his back. In less than fifty-eight seconds from the giving of the word he had the jjun in position and was firing at the rate of 5uo shots a minute.
