New York, November 9.—Two pistol shots, fired in rapid succession, were heard at half-past 12 o’clock yesterday afternoon, iu Central Park, near transverse No. 1, which is on a line with Sixty-fifth street. Park Policeman Murphy run in the direc tion whence the Hhots came, mid found a well dressed young woman lying on the ground with blood (lowing from Tier right side. A man in light tweei trousers nod a dark coat nnd waistcoat, and wearing a brown derby hat, was seen running along the wall of tlie transverse. Ho finally plunged head Hist to the roadway below, a distance of fifteen feet. Policeman Walker, who laid seen him running, jump ed lifter him and picked him up from the ground, where he lay apparently stunned, with a severe scalp wound on the front of his head and a revolver tightly clasped in his right hand. It. was a French “Lafun- cheuux” revolver of 32-calibre, a six shooter, with two barrels discharged. Tho man, who was half dazed, was taken to the police station in the arsenal. The wounded woman wus carried to adjacent shelter, where Polico Surgeon E. T. T. Marsh staunched the flow of blood from a wound in her right Hide, and an ambulance soon after took her to the Roosevelt hos pital. She was neatly dressed in dark ap parel, and had an intelligent, comely face, with regular features and light-brown hair. She was cool and self-possessed, and with a pronounced English accent gave her name os-Mrs. Annie Rod way, aged 22. It was found that a pistol bullet had pene trated her back about '2J inches to the right of the spinal column, and that unotner bullet had been stopped by her corsets in the same vicinity. It dropped to the floor when her corsets were removed. When the man who had done the shoot ing was arraigned before the police ser geant he gave his name as Bertram Brice Rodway. age 44, a native of England, and present residence 208 East Twelfth street, fie said the woman he had shot was his wife, that he did not know why he had shot her, and seemed greatly relieved whon he was told that the wound was not necessarily fatal. Mr. and Mrs. Rodway eamo to this coun try from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, seven months ngo, aifd with them came Miss Lizzie Parker, Mrs. Rod- way’s sister. Rodway is a tailor or cutter, and tried to get employment, taking his wife and sister-in-law first to the Man hattan house, and then to 83 East Tenth street. Here his habits be amt so bad in the way of intemperance that his wife and his sister-in-law left him and went to live with people at 52 West Twenty-sixth street, whom they had known in the old country. Rodway went to 208 East Twelfth street, where roomed some of his country men with whom he was acquainted. He had several places, but lost them through intemperance, and lived on the charity of his friends who gave him lodging nnd now and then money with which to buy food. He slept in a room with Mr. Flanelle, a clerk in Hearn’s, in West Fourteenth street, and in the room still another young man slept. Rodway had no communication with his wife save through his sister-in-law, and that by writing. In his pocket, when ar rested, letters from his wife were found, ail of which wereof a kind, tender nature, and urging him to do right. One of tfiem, dated last Saturday, urged him to return to the old country, where he would be sure to get work and where she (his wife) prom ised to join him. It was this letter., ap parently, which led to the tragedy. Miss Parker, Mrs. Rodw’ay's sister, said that ltodway told her on Sunday that he had a ticket to sail on the Alaska for En gland to-day, ami requesting a last inter view with his wife before he went. Miss Parker told him to be in Madison square at 114 yesterday morning. She and her sister went there nt that hour nnd met Rodway. He seemed cool and self-pos sessed. After talking for a time he asked Miss Parker if she would object to bis strolling oil' with his wife alone for u time, and she consented to the arrangement, and agreed to wait in Madison square for them. After waiting three hours she went to her home, and in a few minutes received notice from the police of the shooting. Rodway and his wife walked up Fifth avenue to the park and went slowly to the spot where the shooting occurred. Here they sat down on a bench for a time and then rose, and Rodway threw his left arm around his wife’s neck as if to embrace her arid with his right fired the two shots into her side. Rodway was arraigned at 3 o’clock yes terday ufternoon before Judge White at the Ydifkviile police court. If in head was tied up in bandages and he seemed weak and nervous. “ I don’t know why I did it,” he Haid. " It was the furthest thing from my thoughts when 1 started out. I hud in tended to put a bullet through my own head. I am not in the habit oi carrying a revolver. 1 got the one I used in the early part of last week, it was taken away from me twice, but i got it again. I intended to sail lor England on Tuesday. When I jumped into the driveway 1 tried to dash my brains out, nnd i wish to God I had. I have been drinking heavily for thirteen weeks. I hud had no trouble with my wife.” He was remanded to await the result of his wife’s wounds. The wounded woman was ltodway’s Hecond wife, and he married her just be fore they sailed for this country. Not long ago he got word from England that his two children by his first hnd been drowned while sailing on the Thames. This, with the fact of his losing all liis savings in a business venture, his friends say, was the cause of his taking to drink.,; THE NEXT HOUSE. Farther IntereHtins Kart* About It* Makeup. Washington, November 9.—A glance over the list of mem bers-elect in the new hou“e gives some interesting facts with re gard to what that body will bo. Just about an even half of the house will be new mem bers. A little more than half of the mem bership of the present house has been re elected, but a few of those not in the pres ent house who come to the fiftieth congress have been members in some other con gress, so that they will not be entirely in experienced. An examination of the list ot re-elections and rejections shows that the republicans have re-elected about seventy per cent, of their membership in tile present house while the democrats have returned but about fifty-live per cent, of their membership. With the loss of Morrison, Hurd, Cobb ar.d Hewitt on the democratic side and a marked reduction in the majority tlie membership will lie a good deal more even ly divided between the parties than in the present house. The democrats lose some of their best lighters, while the republi cans gain some. The struggle in the next house will be in reference to the next presidential’ 'campaign. And it is easy to see that with the narrow majority anil the gains which the republicans have made, noth in members and personnel, the con test will be very spirited and interesting. It is now believed that, the tariff will cut a very Important and Interesting figure In the workings of t he present house. Mr. Morrison will see that the coming session will l>c his last chance to make a tariff re cord before the presidential election, and he will do bis best to push through a re form bill beforo bidding adieu to publio life. The late confederacy will bo pretty well represented In the next congress. In the house and senate there will be probably over fifty men who were in tho confederate service, most of them as officers, a few as privates and a few in the confederate con gress. A number of them boar evidence of their devotion'to the confederate oause in the shape of missing arms and legs, wounds aud scars. Congressman Herbert, a chairman of the naval affairs committee, is able to use his left arm but little, by reason of the loss of the section of the liono which wus shattered by a musket ball, and finally removed in order to save his life. Oates, of the same state, carries an empty sleeve, having lost liis arm after taking part in twenty seven but tles, being wounded five times in previous engagements. Joe Wheeler, the distin guished cavalry leader, comes back. Gen eral Hooker, of Mississippi, who lost ail arm in the confederate service, also comes back here in tho forty-ninth congress. Davidson, of Florida, who was shot through tho lungs during tiie war, is re elected. Cowles, of North Carolina, who was shot in the head, as wns^suppoHed fatally, is to be here again. "Mills, of Texas, who shouts for free trade, shouted for tho confederate cause during the war in the roll of an officer in the confederate army ' m FROM OVER THE WATER.

Paris, November 10.—The statement by the Marquis of Salisbury at the lord mayor’s banquet, in London lust night, that England meant to remain ill Egypt until her intention in that country was completed h«s made a profound impression in French financial circles. National France and other newspapers say they consider that the speeeh sett les the ques tion of evacuation, and shows that Eng land's determination is' to make the occu pation of'Egypt indefinite and protracted. SPEAKER CARLISLE DISGUSTED. lie Intends to l.enre Keiitucfc; For ever. Ctnhnnati November 9.—A olose friend of Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle told the Times- Htur that the speaker and his wife had bid adieu to Kentucky forever as a place of residence. “ And you may say further,” said the gentleman, “ that upon their return from Kansas they will remain a short time the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frauk Helm, of Covington, previous to going o Washing ton. You may also say that that will be the end of Aheir residence in Kentucky, and thereafter their home will be with their two sons in Wichita, Kansas. Do you know that Mrs. Carlisle feels much more keenly the manner iu which Kenton and Campbell counties treated her husband at tlie late election than her husband, and she gave expression to these feelings in public on more than one occasion since the elec tion ? On Thursday last she was driven to the postoffice in Newport, aud Colonel Spence, whom her husband endorsed for postmaster, was reproached in not very mild terms for leaving Newport on the day of election and going witn others for a hunt.” Not only did Col. Spence, who owes his office to Speaker Carlisle, go hunting on election (lay, but there was another hunt ing party made up ofa number of his old est friends. Not one of them voted or tried to influence any one’s vote. There was a number of Covington gen tlemen who dill the same tiling and they apparently did it intentionally. Later on the names will be given, but it is known that Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle, who is fu rious over the matter, will never forgive nor recognize them again. It must be remembered that now the Carlisles have no *orae in Kentucky. They have sold their house in Covington; their sons have moved to Kansas and it would be merely a nominal matter for the speak er to forever shake the dust of the dark and bloody ground from off his feet, as he has practically done it already.
