Saoorrre ArrRAr M Covrreror--

SHoorEe AFFRAr IN CoYIEGToH-
ExAnrrArIoE or TIE PRrsozER--The
citizens Of Covington were. startled yes
terday morning by the announcement
that Col. r B. Carpenter, an attorney
at law, had been shot down in the street
BY V. 7. Perkins, proprietor Of the Gin
cinnati and Covington Omnibus line,
both of whom are residents of that city
men whose character for responsibility
has always been unimpeaehable. There
was much said during yesterday as to
the cause of the atfrsy, but all the ru-
mors afioat were not of such plausibility
as to justify us in making them public.
The one which was most prevalent is,
that Mr.. Perkins had understood that
for sometime past Col. Carpenter had
been slsndering his wife, by stating that
she was an improper woman. Mr.. p.
also alleges that on Sunday last Mr..
Carpenter had stated to a friend of his
that Mr.. Perkins had caught him { Car
penter) in bed with Mrs. Perkins, and
was too big coward toresentit it. This,
Mr.. Perkins says, so enraged him that
be procured revolver and determined
that as soon as he met Col. c. he would
make an effort to take his life. Yester-
day morning about 8 o'clock, as Col.
Carpenter was leaving the Postofiee,
situated on Madison near Fifth street,
and was going up Madison street read
ing letter, he was confronted by Per-
kins coming down Madison street. who
pulled a revolver, and presenting it at
Carpenters head, fred. Not a word
passed between them. Carpenter
turned his head, when Perkins fred q
second time, the ball entering the right
side of the wind-pipe, and passing
around the neck, came out of the back
of the neck, on the left side. In its pas
sage the ball injured the nerve sufficient
ly to produce paralysis, but it is thought
it did not injure any Of the vital organs.
Carpenter dropped his head when Per-
kins pointed the pistol at C.'s stomach
and fred again, the ball passing through
his clothes, and making flesh wound q
few inches from his abdomen. Carpen-
ter then raised his head and attempted
to push Perkins away. Perkins then
ran into the post Office, and Carpenter
placing his hands on his neck, with the
of two gentlemen, walked to
DR.. Blackburn's Office, about half
square distant from the post Office
Drs. Evans, T. N. Wise, Blackburn,
and others, were Immediately sent for,
who, upon arrival dressed the wound,
and administered to- him some stimu-
Iants. He was then carried to his resi-
dence on Tenth, near Washington street
where every attention was being given
him up to late hour last night,
