CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Attempt 10 Kill. Francis Boog, was arrested
by the Southern district watch on Tuesday
night charged with shooting Cornelius Gordon,
in Cross street, Federal Hill 1t appears that
Gordon and another young man were at ball,
! somewhere in the neighborhood of Boog's
house, and that they had gone out in the street
together, and Boog observing Gordon standing
against his fence, told him he had better 90
away or he would shoot him. Gordon thinking
/ the threat mere bravado, told Boog to ''shoot
and be id" which he did on the word, a
| heavy load from a shot gun lacerating Gordons
right hand, and entering his left shoulder, caus-
ing desperate and it is now feared mortal
wound. DIR. Baltzell was called in, who rem
dered all the aid in his power, but considers the
situation of Gordon very critical. Boog was
released on bail by Justice Showacre for fur
ther examination, but when it was found the
injuries Of Gordon were so severe he was rear
rested by officers Chisholm and Fleishell, and
committed TO Jail. Boog is represented as a
desperate character, and is the same man who
shot little girl very badly on Federal Hill,
several months since. We should think it near,
ly time now that his shooting propensties were
put stop to.

off before going to bed This is certainly one
