An Old Feud Revived—Mangled by a Dog—Marriages and Deaths, Ete. Correspondence of Taz Eventxe Star. Freverick, Mv., December 26. A serious shooting affair occurred yesterday at Liberty, the participants being Oliver H. Thompson and Wesley Currey, both of that place. They met on the street there Tuesday evening and renewed an old feud that had ex- isted between them. Friends stepped in and separated the men, but yesterday morning they met agaiv and the quarrel was renewed. Thompson was armed with a double-barreled shot gun, and both men, it is alleged, were under the influence of liquor. The quarrel grew very hot, when Thompson suddenly raised the gun, aimed it at Currey’s head and discharged both barrels at him. Both of Currey’s eyes were blown out and a quantity of the shot entered his head. He is not expected to live. Thompson was arrested and at a pre- liminary hearing before Magistrate Norris was committed t® the jail here to await further de- velopments, Mr. Milton Meyer, a merchant residing at Keyaville, had a fierce encounter with a bull- dog Monday. He was walking along the road when the unimal attacked him, overpowered and knocked him down and tore his abdomen open so that the bowels protruded.

C, Lounsbury, as treasurer of the league, to recover $11,500 ‘for stationery supplies and printing furnivhed during the campaign of 1888. Mr. Foster was called on behalf of the plaintiffs to show that the league authorized the contract. The general drift of his testi- mony was to prove that such was the case, The plaintiffs offered in evidence a report of the auditing committee appointed by the ex- ecutive committee at Daltimore, but the de- fendant objected on the ground that the com- mittee was appointed for the sole purpose of passing upon the accounts of Mr. Foster. It was alleged by the defendant that the bill of the plaintiffs had been smuggled into this com- mittee and passed upon without authority. The referce reserved decision" upon the admis- sion of the report as evidence. ~— see Shot the Bridegroom.

Several weeks ago we had the pleasure of seeing ex-Queen Isabella of Spain in one of the shops here. She was accompanied by her daughter, who married one of the sous of the prince regent. No one was allowed in the same aisle with them, but we happened to be standing in the next aisle and had a very good opportunity of seeing her. She isa fat old lady, rather short and not at ail queenly in manner or appearance, She was dressed very dowdily aud wore a fulse “wave.” ‘They say she is very poor and has sold all her jewels, She stopped only a short time in econ tes | her daugh- ter, and from here wenton to Paris. ‘The daughter and family live at Nymphenberg (so called from the many marble nymphs placed about the private garden), a castle dolightfully situated ina natural park, through which a stream of water flows. A Woman’s Mysterious Death. The people of Anthony, Hunterdon county, N.J., are agitated over the mysterious death of Mrs. Martha Walters, whose body was found lying in a path leading to @ spring yesterday, Her hair was disheveled and she was almost destitute of clothing. Her shoes, mittens, hood and skirt were scattered on either side of the lore from eight to eighteen feet from the ody. Her countenance showed signs of in- tense pain and distress. The authorities have instituted a searching investigation into the cause of her death, as Stanley and Emin.

Of What They are Made—Technical Terms in the Trade. From the Men's Outfitter. There are several terms in the glove trade that may be worth explaining. The word “kid” really means kid leather, and there can be little doubt that the better grades of what purport to be such are made of the cuticle of the infant goat, About twice a year some newspaper revives the old yarn that kid gloves are made of ratskin and tells bow the rats are hunted for that purpose in the sewers of Paris, The only foundation there is for the story is that some years ago experiments were tried with ratskins, The results were unfavorable, the largest skins being too small for any but a child’s glove and the pelt too tender to be of any service. “Chevrette,” a term used to distinguish some gloves of the dressy character for street wear, is both French and English, and bas several liberal meanings. It is trom “‘chevre,” a gout, and we are justified in expecting a chevrette glove to be of young goat skin, in distinction from the heavy goat gloves used for rough work, Great progress has been made, how- ever, in tanning of sheep and lamb skins m re- cent yeurs, and they are now rendered so ele- gaut and sv durable as to be practically indis- tinguishable from goat leather in looks or wear. Until within a tew years were always made of lamb or gout skin, never of the real canine cuticle. itely, however, the difficulties of dressing have been over- come, and now excellent gloves are made of real dogskin, thouzh the quantity is not very large. Only the finer grades of skins are suited to street wear, the heavier skins being dressed in oil for hard usage. Gloves called ‘castor’ have had quite a his- tory. The word indicates the skin of the beaver, but the best French castor gloves were formerly made of thin deer skin, and were soft, durable and expensive, Latterly shaved lamb or sheep skin was used, and the goods were un- satisfactory, These were displaced by Ameri- can castors made of antelope skins from our western plains. They are sewed with silk and are handsome and durable, Of late years a new leather bas been brought out called Mocha castor, It is the skin of the Egyptian sheep, and is very thin, tough and durable, and has a rich velvety appearance, Colt skin is a new-comer for glove purposes, and is an exceedingly amooth, fine leather, suitable forin or out of door wear, Such ex- essions as “Craven Tan,” ‘Cis-Atlantic,” “Gant de Luxe,” and others, are the tread marks of particular makers, and are indicative of special designs.

From the New York Tribune. A novel enterprise in this city is an establish- ment which makes a business of cleaning win- dows. Although public attention has only re- cently been attracted tot, the company was organized last February, and has already estab- lished a fairly paying trade. The cleaners all wear uniforms, which consist of a blue suit and a peak-cup with a shield, on which is the company’s name. They all carry ladders, which are painted red and white, At the top, where the ladder tapers to a point. there is a square block of rubber, so,that when the ladder is placed against a window, on account of the size of the block and the elasticity of the rubber, the pressure is uot great enough to break the glass, the rubber also preventing the ladder from’ scratching the pane. The company charges according to the size of the windows; for washing an ordinary-sized window it charges $1 a month. Each employe cleans from 100 to 150 windows a day. cer A Candid Girl, From the Boston Courier.
