wx SHOT AND SLASHED.
A Saloon Kenper's Efforts to Fill Up
Hospital.
Birmingham, May 10. John Taylor,
proprietor of the Theatre Royal saloon
in this city shot two men and stabbed a
boy last evening and narrowly escaped
being lynched. He is now in jail.
Taylor threw out a man who hud got
drunk in his placo shortly after 8 o'clock.
Tho customer returned, placed money on
the bar and asked for a drink. Taylor
refused to servo tho drink and knocked
the money off to the floor. Tho custo
mer tried to strike Taylor and Taylor
drew a revolver.
He fired and the bullet passed through
the customer's jaw and lodged in the
back of his neck. As the man fell to
the floor Taylor fired again and a gen
tlemnn just leaving the saloon with his
son received the bullet in tho shoulder.
When the boy turned back and began
reproaching Taylor tho latter caught up
an old aword and, running out, ran the
boy through the arm.
Two men who had been in the saloon
throughout the fight then caught Tay
lor, and, after a desperate struggle got
him on his back. A crowd rushed in
and, upon lournlng what Taylor had
done, began shouting: "Lynch himl
Hang himl"
Somebody brought a rope from the
rear of the saloon and Taylor was
dragged out into the street and toward
the nearest lamppost. His shouts for
help attracted several policemen, who
with difficulty pulled him away from
the crowd and took him to jail. The
crowd followed, hooting and shouting.
They made three rushes upon the police,
and once almost dragged Taylor oil, but
he was rescued and eventually the
crowd was dispersed.
At the jail Taylor was a pitiable figure.
His coat and waistcoat were gone, an d
his shirt hung iti shreds. One leg of his
trousers was gone and blood gushed
from a deep cut in his bare thigh. His
face had been pummeled and cut, and
one of his ears was torn. He was crying
and too much frightened to talk. A
doctor dressed his wounds and he was
locked up.
The three persons wounded in the sa
loon were taken to a hospital. The
boy's wound is not considered danger
ous. His father is severely injured and
will die. Tho man whose jaw was
smashed by the bullet from Taylor's re
volver may recover, although his condi
tion Is critical.
ASKING FOR THE DANCE.
Important Resolution Introduced In the
Metliodlit Conference at Omaha.
Omaha, Neb., May 10. The old school
Methodists will no doubt be horrified to
learn that a scheme is on foot to allow
the religious to mix a little gaiety with
their piety.
Among the many memorials presented
to the Methodist Conference is one from
the Troy Conference which petitions the
General Conference to expunge from tho
discipline section "42, relating to amuse
ments, or at least modified so that danc
ing may be permissible.
The memorial is signed by the Kev.
Wm. W. Foster, Joel W. Eaton, Wm.
H. Hughes, John W. Thompson, E. P.
Stevens, V. E. Sawyer and several
others, all of New York. Bishop Foster,
of Boston, approves the movement and
has given his official sanction and will
without doubt advocate its adoption.
Tho memorial is now in the hands of
the Committee on Discipline, to whom it
was referred.
Cr uelly tTronced, Says Tom Ochiltree.
London, May 10. Col Tom Ochiltree
has been suffering with gout but is al
most well. In regard to the Drayton
Borrowe affair, he says it would be
cruel, in view of the fact that the Astor
and Drayton families are plunged into
mourning, to say anything more about
it at present. He denies having stated
that he possessed Information that
would clear Mrs. Drayton, and asserts
that she is in no need of being exculpa
ted, as nothing has been shown reflect
ing upon her. He states that he has
documents In his possession showing
that Mrs. Drayton has been cruelly
wronged, but will not publish them un
less obliged to by legal proceedings au
thorized by Mrs, Drayton.
Glollttl to Form a Nw Cabinet.
Rome, May 10. King Humbert has
charged Olovnni Qiolitti with the duty
of forming a new Cabinet. This selec
tion is a blow to the Irrideutists and
friends of France. Qiolitti is under the
influence of Crlspi and the King could
not have made a choice more acceptable
to Emperor William and Emperor Franz
Joseph, unless he selected Crlspi him
self. Ulollttl was finance Minister in
Crlspl's Cabinet for a a short time and
is known to be an opponent of the popu
lar demand for a reduotlon of the army.
