C\, says: A shocking affray in high social c ; roles has been brought to light in this city which on account of the prominence of the parties concerned ; s causing a great deal of excitement. On Friday nn-ruing last Capt Gfltner left the city octeusibly for a two days trip to Raleigh, but he re¬ turned the same night, unknown to his wife, and went to the residence of his mother, Mrs. John A. Gilmer, where his wife sometimes staid during his ab¬ sence . II is Man Discuvprril. Removing his shoes so as not to arouse his mother, who had retired for the night, he went up stairs and con¬ cealed himself in the hallway, and from h:s place of concealment discovered that his wife was in one of the rooms. He saw a man come ap stairs, go to the door, knock gently, and leave. No on iknows who this man was. As it wa about time for the northbound traiti on the Richmond and Danville to arrive, it is supposed that the was being notified that it was time to go to the station. As soon as the messenger left the door was opened, when Capt. Gilmer saw a man. after¬ wards ascertained to be Mr. Frank Holland, a prominent society man, of Danville. Va., standing with his over icoat on his arm as if ready to depart. Hi* A m AY is I'.miI No light was in the room except a dim fire light from the grat *, Capt. Gilmer then stepped from his place of concealment and flashing a dark lantern full in the face of young Holland, shot him; Holland fell in his tracks. In the meantime Mrs. Gilmer had rush¬ ed from the room. After the shooting Capt. Gilmer came out and locked the door. At the suggestion of a friend who met him leaving tin* house Capt. Gilmer sent for a physician, but when he arrived there Holland was gone. It is said that Holland, who only receiv¬ ed a flesh wound In the thigh quickly made his way to the railroad station and. as the train for Danville was late suc¬ ceeded in getting aboard. It is now understood that Capt. Gilmer has taken steps to secure a divorce at once. F OH l ING TKCOP.t IN It \l V. 31 ole R< Hunte Work of I.lot am! G« t Worsted.

Cadet for embez¬ zlement and forgery, which were set for trial in Hustings Court tomorrow, have been postponed. Counsel in the case agreed that the trial should go over to the next term of the Husting.? Court, which begins the first Monday in February. A remarkable fatality seems to have attended this ease from its beginning. Soon after the matter first began Mr. George Yost, Secretarj of the company, died, and shortly af¬ ter Mr. Cadot’s indictment by the Grand Jury a death occurred in his family. Now Miss Sehmidlapp, daugh¬ ter of the President of the companv, is hovering between life and death. Her illness is what delays the trial Her father, the chief witness, could not come.

R. a story was told at a camp Are, which, whether true or no' will strike those who knew anything of General Sherman as being eharae terlstic, if not authentic, says The New York Mail and Express. It was after the fall of Atlanta, and during- the march to the sea, when the tension of the campaign before the fall ot that city had relaxed, and Sherman. after the day's march was over, Indul ged his subordinates with talks about the camp fires. As the story runs, the conversation turned upon the respect ive merits of commanders. General Sherman, speaking In a half-earneV manner manner, -said said that that he he knew knew as a* much mm n of oi taetics as General Grant, that he could manoeuver an army as skilfully as the then Lieutenant General; that he knew more of what was called military sc' enee than did General Grant, and was more familiar with the history of the great campaigns of Europe. "Then you regard yourself as an abler general than Grant?” broke in one of his favorite subordinates. "I said nothing ot the sort," quickly retorted Sherman. “But you did say that you could han¬ dle an army as well as Gramt, and that you had a mare extensive knowledge of the science of war,” replied the sub ordinate "Yes,”' said Sherman, "I did say that, and tested by the books I could show a wider range of reading and study than Grant; but there are higher qual iUes in leadership than the manoeuver ing of armies or familiarity with what is called the science of war. These qualities Grant possesses and the rest of us do not. Grant can see mo-e things than any of us, and. what ts more important, he isn't afraid of the tilings he can't see. as are the res* of us." * * • How Hole Got To fnmp During the war Edward Everett Hole went to the front to visit one of tho Generals in command. The last put cf h]g Journey to headquarters was oft a steamboat, where Hale met an office.". a Major, who was also going to head¬ quarters. At first the Major was very friendly, but when he learned that HaJe was also going to headquarters he began to fight shy of him. Evident¬ ly he did not want a "civilian” on Hi hands on the long night ride from the boRt j anc j ituff Hal* When they reached the landlnR found a horse, and after a. hard ride through mud and brush he reached headquarters. After he had had hi* supper, and as he was sitting talking with the General the Major rode up. He had lost his way more than once, ms horse had fallen with him, he was cov re d with mud. and in the worst possl ble temper. the General. “Why, Major,” said * where have you been? Mr. Hale has been here two hours.” The Major glared at Hale and grunt ed: "How in thunder did you **£ here ?’ * “followed "Oh,” said Hale quietly, the telegraph wire.” Nobody fought shy of him after that. • * « Object Ion n 1.1c I’rnel It loners They tell a good story about a judge who js we n known in Buffalo, says the Express. Some time ago man who is a "shyster” lawyer came before him to make a motion. This man lived in one of the suburban towns, and he was not j ^rtieuMrly scrupulous ns regards Ms per ronnl appearance. Hoj waited until ho ' 1!, d an opportunity to address the jud,e. and tlien made his motion. It was mere ^ ft p er funqtpry sort of a motion, to open up a case ot something of the kind, and not one in a thousand is refused by any judge. Everyl>ody in the court room was. therefore, greatly . surprised vvlmn the judge thundered out: “denied.” Tlie man himself was completely taken aback. 11., rose to his feet and «tunr mered and stuttered, and finally said. “Your honor, T Iiojk* you have not inista ken the import of this motion. It m a mere formal affair. I fail to see on what ground you base your decision.” “Denied!” roared the judge again. “But, Your Honor,” the lawyer went on, “I think you must 1*» laboring under a misapprehension. This is of no import anco. There isn’t ft soul on earth who isn’t willing that the motion should be granted tell you,” said the judge “Its denied, I Will Your Honor, kindly state grounds on which tin* denial is made?" The judge straightened up in his chair, -todk Off his eye-glasses, and looked se¬ verely at the lawyer. He extended litis hand and pointed one of h'm long fingers at him . “Tlie motion is denied for two reason*,” h'l *aid impressively- “F»rst, yon are not a regular member of the lair atxl not entitleil to praetlee in a court of record; second, you need a hath. ^ Chinese llnhjr. “Th,. other day,” said a Ooncressman to tt Wasliimfton Post reporter, "my wife w ns psssinc by one of the legations of tlie orient It ■warn a bright, warm, balmy ,,.iv, almost tike summer, in truth.
