(Special.)?At the hour of opening this morning Mr. Robert Chappelle, teller a-l the Citizen's and Marine Bank, re? ceived a severe bullet wound through the chest, the result, it Is generally be? lieved, of the accidental discharge of a pistol. Th- bullet entered the right lire ist. ntbove the nipple and passed somewhat above the armpit, lodging somewhere in the shoulder blade. No motive to a suicidal itent can be shewn or even imagined by those who know Mr. Chappelle. The officers of the bank informed a reporter that the tollet.'? standing is high In the Institution, and that his accounts are absolutely correct. Mrs. J. p. FitzslmmoiM was making a deposit in the bank when the accident occurred. To a reporter Mrs. Fitz slmmons stated that she was standing at one of the receiving windows with *a heap of cash for deposit upon the mar? ble Blab when Mr. Chappelle, with over? coat and hat on, walked Into the bank.

Mrs. Fitzslm in ms further stated thai Mr. Chappelle bad nothing In his hands when he en? tered the hank and approached tin drawer. Thle confirms the belief that the revolver was Iii the drawer and was discharged by hi >rely opening the drawer.

Irish Local Government Dill Introduced In House of Commons, BALPOUR EXPLAINS ITS PROVISIONS -* Joltu Morley Welcomes ilio BUI its a Ciomiluo Ocmocrntlu iii'nn mis ion Itcgnrtln It ns mi Advance Over tlio inn oi i?t)2 -Upinious orOth?r Irrsli Leader*. London, Feb. 21, 189S. The House of Commons was crowded to-day when the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Gerald Bulfour, Introduced the Irish local government bill. In so doing Mr. Bulfour said he thought it possible the new order of tilings would at llrst seem to be a failure, but he believed it would work through failure to the success which would be the be? ginning of better and brighter days for Ireland. Tftie Government, Mr. Balfour continued, proposed that the local ad? ministrations be distributed between county councils, urban and 'rural dis? trict councils and boards of guardians, the election of which would be by Par? liamentary franchise, with the addition of peers and women. The qualifica? tions and disqualifications for election as councillors would be the same as in lOnglund, except that ministers of re? ligion would be disqualified from sit? ting in the county or district council, the Government acting Hierein in ac? cordance with precedents. For the sake of convenience, Mr. Hal lour further explained, the boun arics of the existing unions and also of the counties would be modified, and the county councils would lake over in the duties of grand juries, but only In fiscal matters, and would not in? clude criminal jurisdiction or ques? tions of compensation for malicious in? juries. The elections for county and district councils would be ui-enn.va I and all would retire together. The county councils would he the sole rate collecting authority and would control the expenditures. They would also be responsible for dealing with exceptional distress, and would decide when the requests of boards of guardians for out-door relief should be granted. Dub? lin, Belfast, Cork, Limerick, London? derry and Waterford would be con? stituted independent county councils. The county would be responsible for ?half the extra expenditure. Mr. Bulfour also pointed out that the bill provided ithat the occupier was lia? ble to both the county cess and poor race, whether in a town or rural district, which would involve a re-adjustment of rents, a.n equal sum in be granted Prom the lmp? rial exchequer as an agri? cultural grant. John Morley. chief secretary for Ire? land, in the late Liberal administra? tion, welcomed the bill as being a genu? ine democratic effort. Mr. Dillon, chairman of ehe Irish par? liamentary party, said he thought the ni nsutv was on Immense advance over the bill of 1SH2, and fulfilled the prom ! Ise of -the government, but he claimed h was not equal to die English and Scotch measures; John Redmond, ithe Darnelllte 4oadsr, also welcomed the bill, but he criticised some points of itha -measure. CoKmel Ediward J. S-aundersnn, Con? servative member for North Armagh, said a majority of the landlords recog? nized 'the necessity of the measure, which, he added, offen d an opportunity for all classes of Irlshnuoi to unite Cor a common purpose. Timothy Ilealy, Irish Nationalist, praised 'the bill. Michael Davttt, Irish Nationalist, ?threatened opposition to the part Of the bill pn mising relief no the landlords In the sha.pe of an agricultural grant. The bill eventually passed its first reading. ENOTHER AMERICAN SHIP 11 BE SENT 10 HAVANA (Concluded from Flr?t Page.) Inched 'to the- Maine.
