“The first running race came off at 1 p. m. It

with dark mane and tail. He has the cut of a
greyhound, and runs beautifully.”
ACPI DUN TALLY SHOT.
Mr. Charles F. firoivn Painfully Wounded by the
Accidental Discharge of a Pistol.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. James Amos, of
Wynnton, came hurriedly into the city for Dr.
George J. Grimes. He slated that, a sister of Mr.
Chns. F. Brown had called upon him to go for a
doctor, saying that her brother had shot him
self. Mr. Amos was unable to say whether the
shooting was intentional or accidental, or what
was the extent of Mr. Brown’s injuries. Dr.
Grimes went out immediately to attend Mr.
Brown, and when he returned to the city he was
Galled upon by an Enquirer-Sun reporter.
From Dr. Grimes we learned that Mr. Brown
was hitching his horse to a buggy. He had a
pistol in his coat pocket. When he bent over to
pick up the shafts the pistol fell from his pocket.
The hammer struck the ground and the weapon
was discharged. The ball took effect near the
left pipple and ranged upward. What the ex
tent of the injury is cannot be told at present.
The indications are that the ball did not enter
the lung, but it will require a day or two to as
certain the locality ofthe ball and the probable
effect of the wound.
Mr. Win, Brown, of Louisville, brother of Mr.
Charles Brown, was telegraphed the new of the
sad accident yesterday evening. Mr. Brown is
well known throughout the south as the breeder
ofthe famous Shawl Neck game cocks, and has
a host of frleuda who will anxiously await his re
covery.
McIntyre k Heath’s Minstrels.
McIntyre & Heath’s minstrels will appear at
Springer opera house next Tuesday night, Tho
New Orleans Times-Democrat has the following
to say of them;
‘‘Tbfcre a line house at the Academy last
night, and McIntyre & Heath’s minstrels kept
their audience in laughter until the curtain went
down. In minstrelsy to-day there seems to be a
strong tendency toward getting as far as possible
away from negro delineation. When the burnt
cork profession first started it was to present as
neiyly us possible a correct and careful
illustration of the eccentric characteristics
of the plantation darky. The field wus
good, and the tender pathos as well as
laughable comicalities of the colored
race delighted the theatre-goers of both conti
nents. Of late years innovations have crept in.
Clog dancing and a hundred other novelties un
known among southern negroes havo been intro
duced, until now the original idea of minstrelsy
is nearly lost sight of. It was, therefore, with
much pleasure, last evening, that Mr. Milt. Bar-
low’s most artistic charactirization ofthe aged
negro was witnessed. Mr. Barlow is move than
the mere minstrel. JIo is an actor, and a con
summate one at that; and his personation is
one that ranks high artistically. If we could
have move ofthe old plantation element, such as
was so charming in the days of Malt. Peel, 'New
comb. Wumbold and others, minstrelsy would
gain a new life.”
REPORTED DEAD.
Two Atroil Citizen* of Runmi‘11 County Hove a Dlf-

port was true. Mr. Thomas Chapman Is not in
' the city at present.

I Foktson, Ga., October 28.—There is considera
ble frost here this morning. The mercury stands
at 40, and while this would be a delightful morn
ing for winter time, it is rather chilling to the
system now, because our blood is thin from the
summer heat. Everything enjoys the warm and
gehial rays of the glorious morning sun. On
yesterday morning, for a while, we were threat
ened with a black and dreary winter day, but the
clouds passed oft'and the sun shone out again in
all its wonted splendor.

ON CHANGE.
The Trailing Not Intcrfeml With by the Barthol
di Statue t nveilliig.
New York, October 28.—Notwith
standing the general expectation that the
Bartholdi celebration would interfere with
the business on the Stock .Exchange tlic
trading to-day aggregates a larger amount
than that ot yesterday and much more
character was inlused into dealings. The
general market was firm to strong through
out the entire day, but this result was ac
complished not by purchasers for long ac
count, but by a continuance of buying to
cover short contracts. Movements
in usually active stocks were,
as a rule, unimportant, and the
Louisville and Nashville, Heading and Mis
soni i Pacific were strong on the' covering
of short contracts and new buying. The
most important movements of the dav
were among the new priced stocks, such
aa the Richmond and West Point, Norfolk
and Western preferred, Hocking Valley,
consolidated Georgias, Tennessee. St. Paul
and Duluth, and tUe Louisville, New Al
bany and Chicago. The Richmond and
West Point opened up 2/, made a further
net advance of 3.? upon unusual large sales
for that stock. The trading wus accompa
nied by a rumor that the company had se“
cured enough money to pay the floating
debt and collateral trust notes which ma
ture on January 1. The advance in Nor
folk and Western preferred was principally
on the inside, the buying, aided by pur
chases for foreign account. The opening
was tame and generally heavy, but the
changes from last night's figures were for
insignificant fractions only. Trading was
quiet and the heaviness continued for a
snort time, but the market soon rallied
under the unusual strength displayed
by certain of the specialties. The upward
movement was slow but continuous, the
only weak spot being Jersey Central, and
continued until the close, the best prices
being generally reached in the last half
hour, while the lowest were made ill the
first half hour. Everything except Jfersey
Central and Canadian Pacific, which ghow
declines of slight fractions, is higher to
night. Richmond and West Point leads
the list with an advance of 6J, while Hock
ing Valley is up 1?, Louisville and Nash vi’le
1A, Chattanooga and Norfolk and Western
preferred each ljj, Peoria, Decatur and
Evansville lj, Louisville. New Albany and
Chicago 3A, St. Paul ana Duluth 1£, East
Tennessee 1st preferred, R Reading and

POINTS ABOUT PATENTS.
Prosperous Condition of tiio Office Under Demo
cratic Munagehieiit.
Washington, October 23.—In his annual
report to the secretary of the interior, the
commissioner of patents, M. V. Montgom
ery, says the current business of the office
is in much better condition than when
Secretary Lamar assumed charge of the
department. At that time the business
was largely in arrears; the average time
that an applicant was required to w rit af
ter the tiling of his application before it
could be reached for examination was live
and one-half months, and in some of the
divisions he was compelled to wait from
twelve to thirteen months. At this time
such divisions are on an average, about
three and one-third months in arrears and
but two are six months behind. He ex
pects to be able to bring the work substan
tially up to date within the next' few
months.
The commissioner recommends that
some provision of law be made for secur
ing from federal courts certified copies of
decisions or decrees in patent cases, and
that careful amendments be made in the
statutes relating to the date of patents,
their assignment and record, and to the
reimbursement of persons who have erro
neously paid money into the treasury for
fees accruing at the patent office.
The office turned into the treasury dur
ing the calender year 1S35 $103,750, making
a balance in the treasury on account of
patent oilice fund of nearly $1,000,000.
They Take It Straight.
