A shooting affair that may possibly end ins homicide occurred yesterday afternoon near 434 and L streets southwest. Charles Kubnert, also known as Conners, was. the man who used the pistol, and a colored man named Monroe Banks was the victim of the bullet. The cause of the shooting has not yet been ascertained by the police, although it is known that liquor had something to do with it, as both_ Kubnert and Banks had been drinking. Banks was removed from South Washington to Freedman’s Hospital and there it was dis- covered that the bullet had entered the neck and passed through, coming out the opposite side near the shoulde>. BANK'S STORY OF THE SMOOTING. Bank’s side ‘of the affair is that Kuhnert shot him because they had a collision on the sidewalk, while disinterested persons say it was the result of a game of “crap.” Banks sa that he was walking along 434 street ‘“‘mash- ing,” and he turned several times to see some girls who who were on the opposite side of the rect and the last time he turned he stopped in front of Kuhnert, and when they collided Kubuert called him’a “black — — —' and shot him.

Who Is to Supervise the District Charitios. As stated in Tae Star Dr. Amos Griswold Warner, who has been appointed by the Presi- dent superintendent of charities for the District of Columbia, has entered upon his duties. Dr. Warner, though a young man, has made quite a reputation by his studies and discussions of economic and political science. . He was born in Elkader, Iowa, December 21, 1861. He is the posthumous son of Amos K. Warner, M. D., both his parents being of New England descent. When he was but three years old his mother removed with her family to Lancaster county, Neb., then an almost unin- habited district, crossed by the old wagon roads from the Missouri river to the Rocky mountains. The capital of the state was sub- sequently located in the same county. Mr. Warner's boyhood was spent mainly on the farm, his elementary education being obtained at home, or in the public schools of the country districts or of his native village. He entered the preparatory department of the Nebraska State Universityat the age of sixteen, and after staying out one year to carn_money by_teach- ing he graduated in 1885. The Zollowing autumn he went to the Johns Hopkins U: versity for graduate study. At the close of his first year here he was elocted to a fellowship in the department of history and political science. ‘This position he resigned toward the close of the second year to accept the place of general agent of the Baltimore Charity Organization Society, a non-relief giving socioty having for its object the wise co-ordination of all the charitable agencies of the city and the curative treatment of the cases of destitution brought to ite notice. He remained in this work two years, pursuing his studies in history and economics the while, and receiving the degree of doctor of philosophy from the Johns Hop- kins University in June, 1888. In 1839 he was appointed lecturer in economic and_ political science in the University of Nebraska, where he now holds the position of associate professor in the same department. Besides the routine work of the various posi- tions he has held he has written quite a num- ber of articles for the magazines and scientific papers for the American Economic Associa- tion, the American Statistical Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and so forth, He has also done some unacknowledged work in the form of editorials on economic topics for an eastern real estate joorne.. Among the longer papers from his ind may be mentioned ‘Three Phases of Co- operation in the West’ Causes of Poverty,” “Scientific Charity,” “Our Charities and Our Churches,” “Some Experi- ments on Behalf of the Unemployed,” “Le Play's Studies in Social Phenomena,” “Con- cerning Corporation Law,” “Wild Cat Banks in Nebraska,” “Railroad Problems in a Wesfern State,” &e. A reception and banquet to Dr. Warner will be given at the Shoreham tonight. One hundred persons, representing the benevolent institutions and organizations of the District, will extend greeting to the new superintendent. adachiralan Columbia Clab Athletics. One of the most interesting of the fort- nightly exhibitions of the Columbia Athletic Club took place last Saturday night in the gymnasium of the club before # large audience of members and their friends. An exhibition of high jumping opened the entertainment, and was won by Elder, who cleared the string at 9 feet 11 inches. This gentleman also won the standing broad jump which followed. Prof. Crossley and Dashiell gave a difficult per- formance on the flying rings, Dashiell’s high cut-offs being particularly ‘daring. Prof. Heintz and Mr. Roberts followed with a scientific fencing contest. Prof. Crossley hndatreat in store for the boys, and when Mr. Wilson announced that the Martell Eros, the famous acrobats, who had been performing during the week at Kernan’s had consented to be present and contribute to the enjoyment of the occssion, the boys loudly applauded. They were soon after introduced, and gave an acrobatic act of more than usual merit. Upon motion of the vice president of the club, Mr. Alexander Grant, a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered the gentlemen. ‘The high forward somersaults was won by Elder. ‘Then came the sparring. Masters Smith and ‘McDonald, of the boys’ class, sparred for three rounds toadraw. Elder and Carter closed the entertainment with a rattling sct-to with large gloves. ‘The next performance will take place in two weeks. ——— Interesting Pulpit Events Yesterday.

It affords me great pleasure to testify to tho remarkable success of Dr. A. P. Lighthill in my own case, having actually been snatched from death's door by his skillful treatment. I was a great sufferer from bronchitis and catarrh, which developed into dropty and heart complications—my body was swelled almost twice its natural size—in consequence of which for weeks it was impossible for me tolie down in bed and all the rest I obtained wasin a chair. My limbs had to be well elevated to enable me to breathe. An attempt to walk across the floor of my room, even if ever so slow, would brin; on loss of breath and distressing palpitation my heart, often ending in complete exhaustion. Tg.deveribe my sufiering is almost an impossi- bility, for, in addition to the above, I had vio- lent cough and constant hawkingand expecto- rations, together with nervous spasms of my throat.
