A Tragedy at Wi1lard's Hotel.

WASHINGTON, May s.-The Hon. Philip T. Herbert,
of the representatives from California, shot the
chief waiter at Wizards Hotel, about II o'clock this
forenoon, the ball taking effect in vital part, and
producing instant death. The affair caused much
excitement in the Hall of the House of Delegates be-
fore the hour of meeting. The circumstances seem
to be as follows:
Mr. Herbert, who is said to be a very quiet and
nofensive man, came in late to breakfast, when a
dispute arose between Herbert and the waiter Sharp
words ensued, when the other walters in the estab-
lishment up, and made assault upon Mr., H.,
with chairs, plates, etc Herbert, with the assist
ance OF another gentleman, defended himself as best
he could, and only shot when it was evident to all
the behoders that the intention of the assalans was
to kill him.
Further from the Washington Tragedy.
WASHINGTON, May 8.--1he investigation il the
Herbert affair has been postponed until four O'Clock
this afternoon. 1t is believed the evidence will be
very contradictory Mr.. Herbert is in the hands of
the Marshal.
