SHOT AT fl
GflfflP FIRE !
Two Victims, nut Neither Was Very
Seriously Injured.
BOTH WERE SHOT IN THE HEAD
It Was With Difficulty That the Man Who
Did the Shooting Was Preventod
From Being LynchedHe Was
Knocked Senseless by a
Blow.
A drunken roan with n shot gun in band
came very near winding up the catnp Urn of
the U. A. It. at rowler s grovo, Yatosville,
last night with a murder, and it was only
grim determination on the part of the men
who took tho offender in charge that lynch
ing was prevented, some of tho crowd having
become unduly bloodthirsty In their demon
strations against tbo prisoner
The gnn was In tho hands of Joscnh Welso.
a German Polo who resides at Yatosvillo.
Ho is 27 years old and has a wife and two
children.
John Gafflgan, agofi 21 yearn and residing
with his father, Patrick (lalligau. 318 West
Lloyd street, and Edward Howling, n youug
man residing at Maple Hi'l, were wounded
by somo uf tho shot that was in tho cun. but
neither was very feriotisly injured, although
It Is said Uatllgan narrowly ecanol having a
part of his head blown oil. Dr. Stein took
five No. 7 shot from GaOlgan's scalp, on tho
leic side or the hed. Dowling recoiled
somo grains in tho back of his head.
According to story related by some nconla
who were at tho grovo, John Mullahy, a
young man of town, was sitting on a bench
in company with three young women when
Weise came along and offered Insults to the
young women. Mullahy's ordors foi him to
desist and go away were unheeded and finally
the latter took loavo of tho young women and
told them to proceed to another part of the
grove, where ho would join them in a few
minutes. It appears that Mullahy then
turued his attention to Weise and gave him a
severo beating. While this was going on
Weiso's brotnor, John, who Is also a
married man and resides at Yatosville,
hastened to the scene to givo his brother
assistance. Mullahy then turned attack
upon the biotbor and, while this wascoine
o, Joseph hurried off declaring that ho
would shoot tho mau that beat him.
Meantime a largo crowd had eathered
about tho sceno of the fracas. A few minutes
later Joseph Wciso approached the crowd
with shot gun in hand. It is alleged that his
brother and a friend nvned John Linkhirsh
attempted to intercept, but Joseph continued
his approach to tho crowd, continuing his
threats. As ho reached the place, it Is
alleged, Linkhirsh approached from tho rear
and threw his arms about Joseph's shouldors.
to prevent him from using tho guu. In tho
struggle that followed tho gnn was dis
charged, nd GfttHgiu and Dowling wero
Injured,
A turbulant sceue followed, during which
George Holvey made Joseph Welso a pris
oner and, with the assistance- of others, got
him oil the grounds. Holvey says several in
the orowd seemed determined to have a
lynching, and some yelled to havo the pris
oner cast upon one of tho bon fires that af
forded illumination for tho grove
and its approaches. Arriving at tho
electric railway station Holvey found
there wonld be no west bound car for
somo time and the prisoner was brought to
town on foot. On the way the sanguinary
disposition of the crowd following mani
fested itself frequently. One mau shot his
fist over Holvcy's right shoulder nnd it struck
the prisoner in tho face with such force that
Weise fell liko a log, completely knocking
him out. Weise was revived and the journoy
resumed, but soon after some ono
from tho rear grabbed hold of the prisoner's
hair, jerked his head backward, and before
tho men in chargo of Wciso could Interfere, a
half dozen or more fists shot luto his face
with lightning rapidity and powerful force.
Wcise's face presented a sorrowful appearance
this morning, when ho was takon from the
lockup to Justice Toomey's offlco for a boar
lug. Among tho witnesses examined bofore the
Justice was Gafiigan's father, who said ho did
not think his son was very seriously injured.
Tho young man was obliged to remain at
home, under advice of his physician.
Harry O Donncll said ho saw the prisoner
with a guu in his hands and tho crowd
scattered. Somebody tried to get tho gnn
from the prisoner. The unknown party
made a grab at the weapon, the prisoner
pulling the trigger, tho gun was discharged
and Gaffigan fell. The gnn was discharged
during a struggle. Boforo that the muzzle
was pointed towards the ground.
Joseph Weise. the prisoner, said: "I cuess
I can't deny that I shot hiin. I don't know
anything about It. The old woman (mean
ing his wife) told mo I ran out of the house
with the gun. I don't know what I did."
When Weiss was searched in the lockup
last night five fresh charges for the shot gun
wag found In his pockeU.
Mrs. John Weiss, tho prisoner's sister-in-law,
made a statement In which she said a
tall man sho did not know started the trouble
by calling Weise a Hun, and then assaulted
him. Her husband ran to tho rescue and was
beaten by the same man. Joseph then rati
home and came back with tho shot gun,
which was discharged during a struggle and
John Llnkhurst took the gun from the
prisoner.
Justice Toomcy said he would not bother
taking further evidence and committed the
prisoner lu dofault of $1,000 ball.

COUNCIL MEETING.
l'ropoted Change In the I.lectrle linllwny
DliteuMed.
A special meeting of tho Borough Couicil
was held last evening, upon tho onlt of tho
street committee, upon the statement that a
report would be snbmitt -d on tho street pav
ing project, but when the Council assembled
the report proved to be a request from Man
ager Ash, of the Schuylkill Traction Com
pany, for permission to make changes in the
company's lino.
The Coiincilmen In attendance wero
Messrs. MeGuire, Coakley, Itcehtn, Nels
wenter, James, Strttughu, Bell, Harklns,
Hand nnd Trai-ey.
Mr. Coakley, of tho street committee, re
ported that, iu accordance with the resolu
tion adopted at the last meeting of Council,
ho and Mr. Harklns exiled uuou Mr. Ash and
tho lattor stated that he would like to
raako arrangements with tho boron eli
to get permission to tako out the
old stringers and nils of tbo line
on Coal and Main streets and substitute si Is
and a heavier T rial. If this porniiMion
should be granted, Mr. Ash was reported as
saying there wonld be no troublo in bring
ing about an amicable settlement on other
matters tho borough proposed, although he
would bo obliged to lay the matter before
the Board of Directors before giving a definite
answer.
Considerable discussion followed, during
which It was stated that the borougk bad no
power to prevent ths company from making
repairs and Improvements to its line, and
finally It was decided that the secretary be
Instructed to communicato with the Sohuyl
kill Traction Company and Inform them that
Louncll granted permission to remove the
proseut rails nnd stringers and replaco them
wun sills and hcavior rails with shoes.
Mr. Tracey moved that tho secretary bo In
structed to write to Mr. Ash and stato that
tho borough will pavo two squares on East
Centra street and dosiras tho Lakeside Kail
way company to givo assuranco In writing
that It will pay its pro rati share. If it fails
to do so, tho borough will tear out its tracks
and not allow them to be replaced until tho
condition is complied with.
Mr. James raised a point of order that tho
motion was improper, inasmuch as there is
an ordinanco providing that, should tho
company fail to pave Its road when required
to do so, tbo borough can do tbo work and
collect the cost, which Is to be proceedings
in court, 'lue poiut of order was sustained
by President McGuire.
The I'nvlng.
Contractor Ilritt had all preparations mado
to begin tbo work of excavation and re
setting curbs, preparatory to paving North
Main street, and expected to begin work to
day. Tho street committee, however, put
tuclr heads together last ooning and came to
the conclusion that it would be bettor to be
gin work on East Centre street, in tho First
ward. They givo as a reason for this change
that there is no definite understanding be
tween the Traction Company and tho bor
ough ofllclais as to what tho former proposes
doing in refereuco to repaying their tracks
on Main street. Mr. Brltt must first secure
blue prints from tho engineer before ho can
begin oporations In the First ward. Ho ex
pects, towever, to begin work this week.

tho Volunteer Army IVero Nalootwl
Tlirontrli I'olltlunl InUiiuiicpiitul AhUh
Tlmt His Account Ho Miulii 1'ulillu.
Washington, Aug. 1. One of the
last official act of Secretary Alger,
who today relinquished his portfolio,
was to preixue a statement covering
several maUera regarding the comlurt
ot the war which bave been the sub
ject of criticism In the public press,
particularly with reference to the ap
pointment of staff officers In the volun
teer army. The statement follows:
"I am led to make the following
statement on account ot the many crit
icisms which have been made by the
public press, and especially on ac
count of a recent article which ap
peared In the London Times contain
ing assertions which have no founda
tion of truth.
"At the commencement of the war
with Spain, and tor several years prior
to that time, the regular army con
sisted of only 25,000 men, with tho
minimum number of officers prescribed
by law. The situation can be partial
ly appreciated when It is remembered
that within CO days from the declara
tion of wnr the strength of the army
was Increased to 276,000 men, and
everything for the equipment of this
great force, Including clothing, tents,
transportation, medical supplies, camps
and ennip equipage, and all that per
tains to equipping an array for ser
vice, had to be manufactured, trans
ported and distributed for use.
"From the statement referred to the
public might be led to believe that the
volunteer army was officered by men
selected through political Influence by
the secretary of war by special favor,
and without any regard for fitness for
the dutios they wero to perform. As la
well known, the volunteer force, with
tho exception of three regiments of
engineers, threo regiments of cavalry
and ten regiments of Immune Infantry,
was made up of rogiments from the
various states, tho officers of which
wero all nppolnted exclusively by the
governors of tho respective states
from which the regiments came, and
any officer found unfitted for service
and discharged was replaced by an
other In the same manner. The presi
dent had no voice or control In tho
matter.
"For n little over a thousand ap
pointments mado by tho president the
number of applications was over 25,
000, ond each application was accom
panied by n certificate of his nblllty.
Of tho number nppolnted thero wero
20 major generals, of whom 19 were
taken from the regular army and seven
from civil life. Of these seven nil but
one wore graduates of West Point mil
itary nendemy, and all had distin
guished themselves In command dur
ing the civil war. Of brigadier gen
erals thero were 102 nppolnted, CC
from the rcgulor army nnd 3C from
civil life. Those from civil lifo had
all seen servlco during tho civil war
or on our western frontlor, and all had
proven themselves competent to com
mand. "It has bcon stnted, nnd repeated
many times, that the secretary of war
made these npolntments, when the
truth Is that very tew wero made upon
his recommendation. I would be only
too glad to have had the honor to
have made these npolntmpents. No
better, no more loyal or more patriotic
set of men as a wholo over served their
country, nnd their appointments wero
a credit not only to tho appointing
power, but to tho country thoy served.
"Criticisms as to the amounts and
methods of expenditures which could
Imply the wrong or careless use of
money were also made by the London
Times. This charge is false. So far
as the conduct .of the service was con
cerned no person with any knowledge
of tho fncts can ever chnrgo truthfully,
and no one can over show that a dol
lar wns misappropriated, stolen or em
bezzled out of the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars that wero expended.
Tho records are an open book, nnd I
will be glad to have them rigidly exam
ined and ask my successor to open
thoso accounts to the country when
ever properly called for. In order that
tho entire truth may bo known."
