They Were Assaulted by One White Man and Two Negroes. A dispatch from Charleston to The State says M. S. Sullivan, a liDeman of the Postal Telegraph company, was shot and seriously, perhaps fatally, wounded in an affray with State Con stables J. T. Owens and C. T. Hud son, which occurred Thursday night on the steam launch Hornet, betveen 11 and 12 o'clock on the cove beach at Mount Pleasant. The shooting grew out of the capture of contraband li 'quor which Sullivan was conveyiug j from the Clyde wharf to a storehouse I on the water front. Two negro men j were with Sullivan at the time, ODe of i whom, it is said, was also wounded by j j the constables. Their names could not be learned, for neither has been seen since the affair.

At the St. Francis Xavier infirmary Thursday, j Sullivan, it Is alleged, stated that j he was shot by Constable Owens and that the negro was shot by Constable Hudson. Sullivan is thought to be in j a critical condition. He was brought to the city Thursday about 3 a. m. and sent to the infirmary. An operation was performed upon him and it was found that the ball had passed through his left arm, entered the side and perforated the intestines in six different places. The bullet was not located.

The Retailer and Advertiser says even the casual observer who walks through the retail districts of New York during the holiday season can scarcely fail to be impressed with the almost phenomenal difference in the amount of business done in the vari ous stores, lie will notice that one store seems to be constantly crowded with customers, that the salespeople are working to the limit of their en durance and that the delivery wagons are kept busy at night and day dis tributing the goods sold. In another store in the same block, perhaps next door, he will observe that there is '? practically "nothing doing." This j store is quite as attractive as the ; other store. It handles the same lines and qualities of goods, and per I haps they come from the same man ufactories. The prices are equally ! low, and the clerks are courteous and attentive. But there is a much smal ler staff of salespeople employed, and even during the holiday rush they are not kept busy. "Why is there such a remarkable difference? I have taken J the trouble to investigate the problem [and have made careful observations in a dozen or more cases. I have in variably found that the merchants I who were doing the business were good ; advertisers and that the ones wno were apprently receiving but little benefit from the holiday trade made no use of printer's ink. Clearing a Mj'stery. The first trace of Mrs. John C. Burns since her disappearance from a Chicago hotel two years ago was found last week when James Taylor, ' a negm was arrested at Cincinnati. He had in his possession, Mrs. Burns' Daughter of the American Revolution pin, engraved with her name, as well as several articles of jewelry which bore Initials. The prisoner is said to have disclosed the hiding places of other jewels, which are alleged to have been the property of Mrs. Burns. The total value of the property re covered is nearly 35,000. About two years ago, Mrs. Burns announced that she was going away on a short visit. Her husband was believed to be in Europe. Taking several trunks, but leaving many of her belongings in her room, Mrs. Burns left the hotel giv ing instructions to hold mail until she sent her forwarding address. From that day to this no word has been re ceived from her or her husband. Mrs. Burns was prominent as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and also was counected with several women's clubs, most of the organizations to which she belong ed having been located In the East, where she resided before coming to Chicago.
