Bulletin, of Wednesday evening, says:
Zone of the most desperate encounters occurred

Schuylkill Eighth and High streets, ever heard of.
man named Lyman Williams, said to be from
Waterford, Connecticut, was observed by officer
nJames Cathcart of the city night police, near Tenth
and High Streets armed with two of Aliens revolv-
ers. Upon questioning him, he made threats to
shoot whoever should approach him, and the OH.
Ger being unable to subdue him, word was conveyed
to Captain Weaver of the Filbert street station, who
repaired to Broad and High streets, where he met
the party-Williams being in the middle of the
street, with one or two watchmcn in company:
The captain approached him, but was warned of
under threat Of firing. He, however, persisted in
holding parley with him, and finally it was ar
ranged that he would 60 to the stationthe captain
and two police officers to lead ON in advance.
When they arrived at Schuylkill Eighth street he
would go no farther, he said the streets too
dark Another parley was had here; but, as he
could not be approached except at great risk, no.
thing could be done by persuasion.
"Mr. John Pagan passing at the time, offered
to intimdate and arrest him, provided he was fur
nished with arms. revolver was handed to him,
and, stepping into the street, be called upon the
man to surrender or he would shoot him. Nothing
daunted. the stranger raised his pistol and fired.
Pagan returned the fire, and strange to say fifteen
shots were exchanged, and no one was hurt. This
must strike the reader with amazement, but it is
literally true. Pagan fired five and Williams ten
times. There were a'dozcn or more persons stand-
ing upon the corners, md two or three policemen
near the assailants, while all this was enactng.
Williams having finished the contents Of his re-
volvers, made furious attack on Pagan with the
weapons. He was finally arrested by Captain
Wenver, who rushed upon him, and, by giving
him wel-directed blow with his fist. felled and
disarmed him. The Mayor bound the prisoner
over this morning in s. 900 for further hearing,
and, in default, he was committed. Williams is
supposed to have been laboring under a fit of
mania.
