CITY INTELLIG NNCE-


man named Charles Barker, having been stab,
bed in broil on the Point, on the 4th of July
last, and the escape of the person who commit
tedtne outrage, lad named John II. Evans
We learn that Barker, who was stabbed in the
side, with bowie knife, inactng dreadful
wound, has been confined in the WASHINGTON
University Hospital ever since the affair occur
red, and that within few days past the wound
has assumed such a serious aspect, that no
hopes are entertained Of his recovery. Evans
having kept out of the city some two months,
returned few days since, and warrant hav-
ing been Immediately obtained he was arrested
on Saturday by officer Mcdonnell and fully
committed for trial by Justice McAlster. la
the event of BaTker's death, which is certain,
Evans will have to answer the charge of man
slaughter;-another warning TO those who car
ry concealed weapons.
Outrage. A colo'ed boy named Richard Ed
wards, aged about Is years, was arrested on
Saturday morning by officer Shaw, on the
charge of attempting to outrage the persons of
two small white females, of the tender ages of
and 10 years. He was taken before Justice
Stansbury, and committed for trial at the pre-
sent term of the City Court The outrage was
committed in hIllen street on Tuesday last
1t was with great difficulty the officer could
keep off the excited crowd, as he was convey
ing the accused to prison-could they have got
hold of him, he would doubtless have under
gone prompt and summary punishment.
Fire. Last evening about haEpast seven
O'Clock three story unoccupled brick house,
situated on the north side of Fayette street be-
tween Howard aud Faca streets, was discovered
to be on fire. The fire department were soon
upon the spot, and extinguished the flames
with but little damage to the building, We
could not learn to whom it belonged, or whether
it was insured. 1t was doubtless the work of
an incendary.
Where is he? 1t is a most singular fact that
| Cummns, the murderer of LepIat Carter, on
the 4th of July last, has not only evaded detec-
! ton, but so far, not the slightest clue has been
obtained either to his whereabouts or the pro-
babe direction ne has taken. The murder was
committed in the heart of the city, in the mid
! die of day, and yet he walked off with perfect
IMMUNITY! Ought not large reward be offered
for his arrest?
