TOL, V. A TRAGEDY. A. SIXTEEX-TEAR-QLD SCBOOL BOY SUICIDES After Attempting to Kill a Girl "With Whom He Had Fallen in Lave— The Whole Story of the Shackles Affair. A tragedy occurred yesterday afternoon on lower Eighth street, of quits a peculiar char acter, the subject of the tragedy being a boy not jet sixteen year* of age, who put an end to his existence with a pistol ball. THE CACIE OF THE 6HOOTIXG. From tha parties interested and those who saw the shooting the following par tleulars have been obtained: Some months ago Albert Drake, the boy who 6hot himself, nd who, bad he lived, would not have been "!6 jears old till August next, commenced go ing with a little girl named Jennie Fawker, whose parents reside in the brick dwelling on the southeast corner of Eighth and Minnesota streets. The little Fa wker girl is about the age of tbe boy, probably not quite as old— a little over 16 years. She Is cf flight build, dark hair and eye 3, and interesting and bright in conversation. Mr. Fiwker is traveling for a flsh-house, nnd is now somewhere in the vicinity of Fargo. The boy had not called at the bouse in any ;orm<il way to see the little girl, and met her cn'y as school children meet and Pay to gether. He was attending Curtiss' Business < ollege, and was the son of William A Drake, the foreman of E. F. Berrisford's cracker and i onf-:ctionery manufactory on Robert street. THE BOY'S INTEREST. As mentioned above the boy had only met the little girl on the street, yet he seems to i'-tve formed, or thought he had formed, an attachment for her. Bo far as she is concerned ehe liked him well enough and received his boy attentions without any particular con sideration one way or the other. Td? mother thinking the little girl was too young to bo receiving the attentions of the boy, and not wanting to have her Inter rupted in her studies, told her that she must not waste her time In that way, and that sne had better tell Albert what she (the mother) Fan). HE IS NOTIFIED TO STOI\ In accordance with the suggestions of the mother the little girl communicated to Albert last Fjiccy, tho suggestions made by her mother. At that time the boy did not appear to feel at all hurt, and apparently ac repled the situation without any particular (iiouslitor consideration. The little girl did riot see him again till Sunday, when they accidentally met at church. The two spoke together as usual, and the boy at that lime appeared as pleasant &nd smiling as ho ever did in his life, and was .just the turns, bo far as ehe could see, as he had beet: all along during their acquaintance. She 'iii not ste him again uut:l yesterday morn ing, when he was pale, nervous an.i ugly. His conduct on that occasion was 6uch as to ter rify her. THE FATAL MEETING. About half past three yesterday afternoon, ac the little girl was coming up Eighth street In company with her sitter, Farric Fawker, |pd Fanii'e Baily, ehe met the Drake boy a little below the old club house, tast of Bart. Presley'* residence. Just at that moment she was telling the Bailey giil abou', what her isoiher said, and that her mother thought ehe was too young to receive atteDtion3 from any one. The boy came right upon the two fclroost before they knew of his presence. The little Fawker girl instantly exclaimed as soon as slip saw him: "There he ie?" She noticed that he looked pale and ugly, but, of course, anticipated no such result as followed. Bhe bad hardly uttered the words quoted above bcfcr the boy had drawn from his pocket a revolver andplaced the mu2Zla of it close to her face. The girl dodged, and al most out of her mind with terror, Parted to run across Eighth street. By this t.U''.den act, the result of pure terror and im pulse, the little girl escaped sudden death, tight there on the sidewalk. As she-Btarttd for the other side of the street he followed after and fired. He missed the girl with this tirst shot, but he was evidently determined to kill lift and followed close after her. A BBAVE BOY. U a the corner opposite to where the girls met young Drake there is a grocery store. A? the little Fawker girl crossed Eighth f-trcet she came right in front of this grocery fclore, and fortunately for her a boy, only a little larger than she is, named Edward Erick son, happened to be standing in front of the store. This boy took in her situation at once. Ho had heard the shot and was not a little alarmed, as it was fired in a line with him, »nd if it was repeated he would have been as likely to be hit as any one. As the girl came on the sidewalk near to where he stood he saw Drake raising his revolver for another shot and place it close to her right ear. Young Krickson jumped forward and, grasping the girl around her waist, pushed himself be tween the two, and drnggiDgthe half fainting pirl into the 6tore, closed the doors. THE SHOT FIRED. gome assert that three shots were tired, while others declare that only one chamber of the revolver was emptied at thatpolnt, and (hat all the shots fired in addition to the first, were fired some distance below on Eighth ftreet. WHERE HE WENT. The boy 6hootist, it is believed, thought he had killed the girl or that from the condition in which she appeared when she was taken ir.to the store that she would die. He crossed (he street through a lumber yard aud came out on Eighth street, when lie ran down toward Broadway. A few per sons followed, not, however, with a view of catching him, but more for the purpose of reoine wbat he would do further with hia trun. Some boys were playing ball lower down Eighth 6treet and their attention was anested by tht'6hootlne. They naturally came from tbe adjoining lots, and as they did so they krw young Drake running down etreet with his revolver in his hand. Some assert that he discharged the revolver three times iDto the r,ide >«alk as he ran al«»ng. Fir ally he stopped when near Pine and Eighth street, and taking hoi 1 of the lappel of his coat with his left hand, held it up before his face, when two shots were heard In rapid . ticcession, and Albert Drake, the boy, dropped (r> the sidewalk a corpse. WHAT TTAS DONE WITH THE BOOT. The corner was sent for as soon as possible, and the boy suicide was placed on a dray with ■I rubber blanket over him and taken to the undertaking rooms of Messrs. McCarthy & Donnelly. Of course a great crowd followed, ,snd for "along time the doors of the establish ment where, the body was placed were sur rounded by a crowd that filled the whole K>nee ia front of the store. MISCELLANEOUS. Coroner Davenport concluded to hold an inquest at 10 o'clock this morning at Messrs. McCarthy & Donnelly's. 7he revolver used on this occasion is what ie known as the "Bull Dog" pattern. The barrel is about three inches in length, and the ball is a large one. The conduct of the boy Errickson was re markable for one so young. When interro gated as to whether or not he had any fear of l>eing shot he replied that it was all so sudden Ilia' he did not think anything about it. He *>aw tbe revolver at her head and at once jumped in and grabbed her. The parents of both the boy and girl are nice, respectable people, and it is a great mortification to them both, and to Mr. •Drnkc and his family, nj dreadful soul harrowing misfortune. Mr. Drake is an upright, well disposed, quiet, orderly man who works hard. He and his wife thought everything of their boy, and had en deavored to bring him up properly. The lit tle girl who has been so innocently and unex pectedly brought before the public is morti fied and so are her relatives. v THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE. As It Oasts Its Light on the Chicago Mar ket*.

The boys were somewhat bulled up to-night, thinking that the clique would keep" daliverlsg, and, al though the deliveries were pretty large, I tumbled to the fact that all the grain was in objectionable bouses end the receipts dated back a year or two.

A Republican Paper Exposes How a Re publican Congress Squanders the Public .Funds. [Washington Special (May 2) Chicago Tribune.] Within two hours they passed bills for the construction of public buildings at Detroit, Mich.; Jackson, Term.; Denver, Colo.; Greens boro, Term.; Council Bluffs, Io.; Lynchburg, Va.; Peoria, 111., and Galveston, Tex.— the total of which will be nearly $1,500,000. All these bills were for new buildings, and each of them was passed by a two-thlds vote. The whole job was put up beforehand, and the friends of tnl» log rolling business stood by each other until dinner time. After four or five bills had been passed a few members of the house became frightened and tried to ap ply the brakes. The first man recognized to move to suspend tbe rules for a public build ing waß Lord, of Detroit. As soon aa Mr. Lord was recoguiaed to move the passage of the bill appropriating $600,000 for a public building in Detroit, there was A GENERAL DITIKO INTO DES23 by members for copies of their own little building bills. When Mr. Lord's bill was passed, seventy -live or more gentlemen jumped to their feet, and waving their armn above their heads, shouted " Mr. Bpeakerl " " Mr. Speaker! " in unison. Atuins, of Ten nessee, was the next lucky man, and he asked tbe passage of a bill appropriating $50,000 for the construction of a public building at Jack son, Term. Holman, of Indiana, with an un usually larce euid of tobacco in his mouth, and a very sallow expression of countenance, looked with decided disfavor upon the pro ceedings. He detsandtd the rearimg cf the report accompanying the bill. The members, in their anxiety to rush business and put through as many bills as possible before ad journment for the day, protested against the modest demand of the gentleman from Indiana. MAXT DEMOCRATS WENT TO HIM PRITATBLT andprotested against his asking for the read ing of reports accompanying bills. It took, as a general rule, about five minutes to read the reports accompanying these measures, which, in most instances, were almost identi cal In phraseology. They differed, as Holman afterwards said in debate, only as to the amount of money appropriated. After Atkins' bill had been passed the speaker next recog nized Belford of Colorado, who secured the passage of a senate bill lying on the speaker's table granting j 100,000 for the construction of a public building at Denver. Mr. Keiftr recognized first a Republican and then a Dem ocrat. Scales of North Carolina, se cured the passage of a bill appropriating $50,000 for the construc tion of a pubic building at Greensboro, in that state. Next $100,000 was appropriated for a public building a Council Bluffs, 10. A few of the members seemed to think that the money was being voted away ALTOGETHER TOO FAST, and Thompson, of Kentucky, at this juncture, moved to adjourn. Only twenty-three votes were secured in the affirmative. Randolph was the next man to come to the front, and he secured $100,000 for a new building at Lynch burg, Va. None of the members seemed to have a thought beyond securing the eye of the speaker to pass their recpective bills. Hol man vainly attempted to stop the outlay by moving to adjourn. Only thirty- eight mem bers voted wi'h him. Lewis, of Illinois; was next recognized, and he moved the passage of a bill, recently adopted by the senate appro priating 400,000 for the construction of a court bouse, internal revenue office and post office ot Feoria. He presented an amendment to tbe bill reducing the amount to $225,000. The proceedings were temporarily arrested, by the shrill voice or Robinson, of Massachu setts, who demanded to be heard, and he asked the pertiment question whether there was any United States court . at Pc oria. Bpringer, who looked with disfavor upon all the proceedings of the day, promptly answered that there was no court at Peoria. Robinson protested against the house adopting a bill which came xnrilE UNDER FALSE COLORS. Townshend, of Illinois, shouted that more whisky was made in Peoria than in any other city of the Unitsd Btates. "That settles it," screatnc i a member on the Republican side, and tbe speaker was about to put the bill upon its passage when Robinson again protested against the passage of tbe bill in its present form. He said th-it tbere might be a necessity for a public building at Peoria, but certainly there could be no necessity for a court house where there was no court. Cannon, of Illinois, said that twenty millions of ioteraal revenue taxee, in round numbers, were collected there ev«-ry year. TowDsbend supplemented this statement by saying that more internal reve- Due taxes were collected at Peoria than in all of Massachusetts. Cox jumped from his seat, aod, pointing his fiager at Townshend, said: "Whoever drinks that whisky pays the tax. and tbe gentleman from Illinois knows it." The last three words were EMPHASIZED VERT PECULIARLY, and the bouse burst into a roar of laughter. A motion to adjourn was lost, a division showing that no quorum was present. Brasrg of Wisconsin, attempted to secure sufficient backlog to successfully filibuster, but he failed. The yeas and nays were called for on a motion to adjourn, and it was lost by a you of 47 to 126 When the motion to adjourn bad been voted down the bill was passed; 131 voted in the affirm ative and only seventeen in the negative. Jones, the Texas Oreenbacker, was the last man recognized. He moved the passage of a bill appropriating $125,000 for a pnblic build ing at Galveston, Tex. It was 5 o'clock when be moved this bill, and many members had left. Bragg moved to adjourn, tut the mo tion was lost. The vote showed that do quorum was present, and fifteen or twenty minu'es elapsed before a quorum could be procured. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 131 to 16.
