A iiikntai.lv Shot..As statedlay, James B. Bocock, chief ofaughtiug division iu the Patentwas accidentally shot in the

by John B. Peyton, shortly aftertwo o'clock yesterday afternoon, at

ght's wharf, opposite Glymont,il thirteen miles below this city,received injuries which caused his

ith at 5:30 o'clock. Mr. Peyton andMuiel W. Edelin, a clerk in Mr.k's division, had gone to Gun-

f id creek Sunday for a few days' duckinting. Mr. Bocock joined themlesday morning. Yesterday after-n the three hunters took positionsHollowin Point, on the edge of the

i ver, and after putting out decoys,waited for game. Mr.- Bocock wasbetween und a little in advance of his1 ieud3. Edelin was about twenty-fivefiiet to Bocock's right, and Pevton wasabout fifteen feet to the left. Thet'iie was coming in, and Pey-ton and Edeliu were obliged lochange their positions. Mr. Peyton; eked up a rubber suit in one handand his shotgun in the other. The trig¬ger was caught by a twig, and one bar-rel was discharged, Mr. Bocock was

»uebing behind some brushes at thetime, and received the full charge inthe left side of the back, just below theloulder. Mr. Bocock fell back uucou-

scious, but iu about twenty minutes heame conscious. The nearest doc-

I was four miles away, and one of thev went for him. Just before three

o'clock the steamer Harry Raudallpped at the wharf, and Mr. Bocock

v is placed aboard. His life was slow¬ly ebbing when the steamer arrived atthis port, and everything that could be

tie was resorted to in order to easelast moments. Mr. Bocock's

ughts ran most on his family and hesaid: "My poor wife begged me not to

in this trip, but I did so want therecreation." Upon tho arrivul of the^earner at Washington the wounded

was taken totbc Emergency Hos¬pital and laid upon an operating" table,hut before the surgeons had timeto examine his injuries he died.The load of No. G shot entered almostas ;i solid mass in the back, about twoa:id a half inches to the left ol the spinal vertebrae. The load passedthrough the inner side of the left lungsevering the aorta, and lodging in thef^iiue. The severing of the great bloodessel caused profuse internal bemor-

rhage, and the left pleural cayity wasfilled with coagulated blood. Mrs. Bo¬cock was unaware of the fact that herhusband was dead when she was sum¬moned to the hospital, supposing hehad received a superficial injury,aud wheu she was conducted to the lit¬ter on which his remains rested andrealized the terrible truth the shockwas terrible. The bereaved wife S8ii'<upon the body of her husband, kissingand begging him to arouse and answerbe. Mr. Bocock was a native of Lynch-but for a number of years had been a

resident ofTexas, whence he was ap¬pointed chief of the draughting divis¬ion in the Patent Office.

quietly married yesterday .i ternoonat5 o'clock to Mr. Watsoi E > leman,private secretary to tbe Kou LafePence, member of Congress from Colo¬rado. For reasons satisfactory to thecontracting parties the wedding was

entirely a private affair, and was wit-nessed by only the immediate family ofthe bride and a few intimate friends,members of the household of Mrs.Thomas R. Love, at whose pretty sum¬mer home, "Dunleitb," the marriagetook place. The ceremony was per¬formed by Father Tierney, of tbe Cath¬olic church.

great taste for out-of-door sports. Sheis well-known and popular in Virginiasociety, and has an enviable position inthe literary world, being a strong andforcible writer, with an abundant stockof information. As a newspaper cor¬

The Gas Works.The propositionto lease the gas works to the AtlanticConstruction Company of Philadelphia,submitted to Council at Tuesday night'smeeting, the substance of which was

published in yesterday's Gazette, hascreated some discussion. Quite a num¬ber seem enthused at what they say isa liberal proposition on the part of thecompany, they offering to furnish gasat $1.25 the thousand feet, to light freeall buildings now furnished gas gratisby the city and to light eighty sevenstreet lamps, the company to pay $5,000per year rent for the works for a periodof ninety-nine years. Other, however,of the more conservative class, advisecaution in the matter, arguing that theproposed lease of the works to the com¬

pany would be a virtual sale on the in¬stalment plan ; that the plant is worth$150,000; that at least $20,000 has beenspent on it during the last three years;that coal and iron are becoming cheapand that doubtless the city can soon beable to furnish gas at $1.25. Now theprice is $1.50 with 5 per cent, off forprompt payment. Beginning with June1,1S6D, and ending with May 31.1887.there was transfered to the generalfund from the gas works $118,400, andduring one of these years, 1S75, notransfer was made. The average forthe whole eighteen years was about$6,580 per year. The committee towhom the matter has been referred willmake a close examination into the pro¬posal and make their report to Councilat an early day.The Lexow Committee..Council¬

man Caton will shortly organize theinvestigating committee recently ap¬pointed by the City Council to exam¬ine into certain reports which are be¬ing circulated detrimental to some ofthe members of the police force. Evi¬dence, however, will not be taken untilafter the holidays. It is said by somethat the entire movement will miscarryand will not result in the substantiationof the charges which have been urged,while others say a case will Do madeout of some of the allegations. Capt.Webster, of the police force, says h-±will demand that the charges be tho¬roughly sifted, inasmuch as the atten¬tion of the community has been calledto the matter and the integrity ofmem¬bers of the force questioned. It is un¬

derstood that there will be much mudrhrowiug.County Land Sales..Among the
