The News regrets to hear of the
probably fatal shooting of Gussie Las
seter by his older brother Willie in
Brunswick, while playing with a pis¬
tol one day last week, thought to be
unloaded. From the newspaper ac¬
counts of the affair we gather that
“The two boys and a little negro boy
were in the kitchen playing with pis¬
tols, imitating the exploits of Jesse
James. In the play Willie pulled
down on Gus, who was laughing and
to his astonishment the pistol fired,
sending a 32 calibre ball right in his
open mouth, knocking out four
teeth—two upper and two lower—
going through the j iw bone and im¬
bedding itself in the fl;shy part of his
neck." The Btikely friends and ac¬
quaintances ot the fami ly regret to
hear of the occurrence and will hope
for the recovery of Gus.—Blakely

The personal effects of Marie Regnault,
the murdered mistress of Pranzini, have
been sold at public auction at the But el
Drouot There was a terrible crowd, in¬
cluding many ladies of fashion and aristo¬
cratic rank. All the effects of the dead

and almost fabulous prices silk were paid.
For example, a pair of blue corsets
brought $87. A trashy novel she which killed she
was reading just before was it

75 cents. The blue silk stockings whirl*
she had on when she was killed were pur

I met Mr. O. Wilde not long since in
London. He stood 011 the corner of Bond
street deep, and Piccadilly delivering n series of
the guttural and heart felt reflections on
mud, and particularly at a large and
lavish display of it that had been spread
over his attire by the wheel of a passing
hansom.
