-Itaxattdria mnztitt. pi t FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 189?. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. San rises to-xiorrow at 5:10 ; sun sets ... High water (!:4.'I a. m. and 7 05 p. ni. Weather Probabilities..For this , a fair till Saturday, but with increasing liucssand probably occasional rains by Satui lay aftomoon or Saturday night: Varia- winds, becoming cast to south. [( [DE..This morning about fifteen minutes after uine o'clock a man, clad ie garb of a workingman and wear- iveralls, entered the saloon of Mr. ird Murphy, at the corner of Pitt and Princess streets, and asked the pro- tor if he could go into the yard in the rear of the premises. After an ab- eof some tön minutes, the stranger returned, stopped in the room in rear ,: ;ar saloon, and asked when the. train on the W. & (». R. R. would leave. He then seated himself in at and in a few minutes thereafter Mr.Murphy entered when the man arose and staggered about. Murphy pa ed him in a be 1 in the room, and then dis- covered a boltlu in tl.e man's hand which, from the label thereon, contain¬ ed laudanum. Murphy at once tele¬ phoned to the police station, and Offi- cer Davis, who responded, summoned Pr. Purvis. The doctor arrived promptly at the house and administer¬ ed such treatment as the case required, but, as much time had elapsed since the fatal dose had been taken, all efforts to save tin- life of the man were unavail¬ ing, and he died about 11 o'clock. The reporter for the Gazette visited the scene of the suicide and learned the name of the self destroyer was James Pearson, a native and resident of dak Hill. Fauquier county, where he leaves a wife (who was a .Miss Weaver) and six children. Pearson appeared to be about 42 years of age, was a carpenter by trade, and has recently been in the employ of the R. &D. It. R. Co. near Leesburg. He went to his home in Fauquier a few days since and returned to this city yesterday, Ho met friends here and was drinking quite freely, and was invited by Mr. Max. Berryman (an old acquaintance), to spend the night with him at his Lome, No. 910 Cameron street. Pear- BOH awoke his friend this morning about 5 (»'dock ami left the house alone, after asking .Mr. Berryman to meet him later in the day. It appears that he soon thereafter entered the drug store of Messrs. W. F. Creighton & Co.. where he purchased four ounces of laudanum, and when the bottle was found <>u him only a half ounce of the drug remained therein. When he purchased the drug this morning he was asked for what purpose he intend¬ ed using it and gave entirely satisfac¬ tory replies. From what could be learned, Pearson was not a hard drink¬ er, hut was addicted to periodical sprees. He did not appear to bo in any way despondent when he left Mr. Berryinan this morning, and had some little money with him. As yet, no cause can be assigned for his suicide. He had been boarding, while at work in Loudoun county, with a Mrs. Ches¬ hire, at Leesburg. His body was taken tu Mr. Demaine's undertaking estab¬ lishment where it was prepared for burial. Dr. Purvis held an inquest this evontng when the jury rendered a verdict iuaccml- auce with the above facts. The remains will be sent tu Fauquier for interment. Abou Ben Mushbach..A test case under the Mushbach gambling act of the last Legislature has just been pass¬ ed upon by our Court of Appeals and the case reversed and sent back to the lower court. The decision is to that extent in favor of the .-porting people who appealed from the judgment of liuc and imprisonment imposed below. The opinion of the court was written by .Judge Lewis and the pith of it is found in the following paragraph, which will be read with interest: "A bet is a wager between two or more persons. It involves a concur¬ rence of wills; that is, there must be an oiler to bet on one side and accept¬ ed on the other. When the offer is ac¬ cepted, and not before, the betting be¬ comes compu te. A bet, like au ordi¬ nary contract, may be made by tele,, graph, and when an offer to bet is ac- ccpted by telegraph the acceptance, as in the case of a contract, takes effect when the message of acceptance is de¬ li vcivd to the telegraph company for transmission, and not wdien received by the other party. If, therefore, an offer to bet is telegraphed by a person ia this city to another in New York and the latter accepts by telegraph, the betting is done not in Richmond, but in New York, because the öfter be- ing accepted there takes effect there." It is a somewhat novel proposition that if a man in Alexandria telegraphs to a man in New York offering to bet a hundred dollars on a given thing and '.in- li« t is accepted by telegraph, the bet is made in New York, not in Alex¬ andria, but that seems to be the view- held by a majority of the Supreme Court judges. Mushbach will have to try again if he is really "one that loves his fellow men.'* The Legislature w ill have to mend the law, through which the Supreme Court has thrust its ad¬ verse foot..Norfolk Landmark. Public Meeting..The New Era Building Association, a colored organi¬ zation in this city, held its third annual meeting in Roberts Chapel last night. The meeting was called to order by Win. B. Dulany, the president. F. h. M. Murray, the secretary, read the an¬ nual report and gave a summary of the work of the association for the three years of its existence.

Af¬ ter a great deal of handshaking and pleasant greetings between the old war¬ riors and after mauy stories and jokes had beeu told, the meeting was called to order and Lieut. R. H.

An¬ other meeting will be held at the same place next Tuesday night to hear the report of the committee and all the "old boys" should be sure to attend. Exhibition of a Fire Escape.. Quite a crowd gathered in front of Pea- body school building about noon to-day to witness the practical testing of the Key inclined plane fire escape. The contrivance is in the nature of a can¬ vas shute and not unlike what the air funnel of a ship would be split longi¬ tudinally. The escape is bung by hooks to the window of a burning building and the escaping inmates get into it ami slide down. Two or three men, in the meantime, have hold on the end reaching the ground and as the passen¬ ger nears the earth they break the force of the descent by raising the canvas. Men ami boys were placed in the es¬ cape during the demonstration of its merits to-day, and were brought to the pavement successfully.

The long run of Neglige Shirts for summer wear has been marked by great improvement in style and material.

We have very attractive goods at $1 each and a handsome line with two detachable collars at $1.50. A bargain lot of Chev¬ iot Shirts, laundered collars and cuffs, at $1. LADIES' WRAPS.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.San rises to-xiorrow at 5:10 ; sun sets... High water (!:4.'I a. m. and

Weather Probabilities..For this, a fair till Saturday, but with increasing
liucssand probably occasional rains bySatui lay aftomoon or Saturday night: Varia-
winds, becoming cast to south.
[( [DE..This morning about fifteenminutes after uine o'clock a man, clad
ie garb of a workingman and wear-iveralls, entered the saloon of Mr.ird Murphy, at the corner of Pitt
and Princess streets, and asked the pro-tor ifhe could go into the yard in
the rear ofthe premises. After an ab-eofsome tön minutes, the stranger
returned, stopped in the room in rear
,: ;ar saloon, and asked when the.train on the W. & (». R. R. wouldleave. He then seated himself in at
and in a few minutes thereafterMr.Murphy entered when the man arose
and staggered about. Murphy pa edhim in a be 1 in the room, and then dis-covered a boltlu in tl.e man's handwhich, from the label thereon, contain¬ed laudanum. Murphy at once tele¬phoned to the police station, and Offi-cer Davis, who responded, summonedPr. Purvis. The doctor arrivedpromptly at the house and administer¬ed such treatment as the case required,but, as much time had elapsed since thefatal dose had been taken, all efforts tosave tin- life of the man were unavail¬ing, and he died about 11 o'clock. Thereporter for the Gazette visited thescene of the suicide and learned thename of the self destroyer was JamesPearson, a native and resident of dakHill. Fauquier county, where he leavesa wife (who was a .Miss Weaver) andsix children. Pearson appeared to beabout 42 years of age, was a carpenterby trade, and has recently been in theemploy of the R. &D. It. R. Co. near
Leesburg. He went to his home inFauquier a few days since andreturned to this city yesterday,Ho met friends here and was drinkingquite freely, and was invited by Mr.Max. Berryman (an old acquaintance),to spend the night with him at hisLome, No. 910 Cameron street. Pear-BOH awoke his friend this morningabout 5 (»'dock ami left the housealone, after asking .Mr. Berryman tomeet him later in the day. It appearsthat he soon thereafter entered thedrug store of Messrs. W. F. Creighton &Co.. where he purchased four ounces oflaudanum, and when the bottle wasfound <>u him only a half ounce of thedrug remained therein. When hepurchased the drug this morning hewas asked for what purpose he intend¬ed using it and gave entirely satisfac¬tory replies. From what could belearned, Pearson was not a hard drink¬er, hut was addicted to periodicalsprees. He did not appear to bo inany way despondent when he left Mr.Berryinan this morning, and had some
little money with him. As yet, no
cause can be assigned for his suicide.He had been boarding, while at workin Loudoun county, with a Mrs. Ches¬hire, at Leesburg. His body was takentu Mr. Demaine's undertaking estab¬lishment where it was prepared forburial.
Dr. Purvis held an inquest this evontngwhen the jury rendered a verdict iuaccml-auce with the above facts. The remains willbe sent tu Fauquier for interment.
Abou Ben Mushbach..A test caseunder the Mushbach gambling act ofthe last Legislature has just been pass¬ed upon by our Court of Appeals andthe case reversed and sent back to thelower court. The decision is to thatextent in favor of the .-porting peoplewho appealed from the judgment ofliuc and imprisonment imposed below.The opinion of the court was writtenby .Judge Lewis and the pith of it isfound in the following paragraph,which will be read with interest:
"A bet is a wager between two ormore persons. It involves a concur¬rence of wills; that is, there must bean oiler to bet on one side and accept¬ed on the other. When the offer is ac¬
cepted, and not before, the betting be¬comes compu te. A bet, like au ordi¬nary contract, may be made by tele,,graph, and when an offer to bet is ac-ccpted by telegraph the acceptance, as
in the case of a contract, takes effectwhen the message of acceptance is de¬li vcivd to the telegraph company fortransmission, and not wdien receivedby the other party. If, therefore, an
offer to bet is telegraphed by a personia this city to another in New Yorkand the latter accepts by telegraph,the betting is done not in Richmond,but in New York, because the öfter be-ing accepted there takes effect there."
It is a somewhat novel propositionthat if a man in Alexandria telegraphsto a man in New York offering to bet a
hundred dollars on a given thing and'.in- li« t is accepted by telegraph, thebet is made in New York, not in Alex¬andria, but that seems to be the view-held by a majority of the SupremeCourt judges. Mushbach will have totry again if he is really "one that loveshis fellow men.'* The Legislature w illhave to mend the law, through whichthe Supreme Court has thrust its ad¬verse foot..Norfolk Landmark.
Public Meeting..The New EraBuilding Association, a colored organi¬zation in this city, held its third annualmeeting in Roberts Chapel last night.The meeting was called to order byWin. B.

Exhibition of a Fire Escape..Quite a crowd gathered in front of Pea-body school building about noon to-dayto witness the practical testing of theKey inclined plane fire escape. Thecontrivance is in the nature of a can¬vas shute and not unlike what the airfunnel of a ship would be split longi¬tudinally. The escape is bung by hooksto the window of a burning buildingand the escaping inmates get into itami slide down. Two or three men,in the meantime, have hold on the endreaching the ground and as the passen¬ger nears the earth they break the forceof the descent by raising the canvas.Men ami boys were placed in the es¬
