petrated at the Canal Basin, in this place, on
Monday evening. Al the time we 90 to press
no inquest has been held, and many rumofs are
in circulation in regard to the affair. As far
as We could gather particulars titat could be re-
lied upon we givr them
On the evening IN QUESTION, dance was held
at the house of Jas. B. Johnston, the south
side OF the Canal Basin, al which there was
some eight or ten young perSonS-among 9th
ers the daughter Of James Davis. Davis is a
boatman in the employ Of Patrick Walls, and
the boat on which be is employed was lying op-
posile Iohnston's Davis had been drinking
some through the evening, and seeing his daugh-
ter there, swore early in the evening that he
would shoot some perSon-whlch threat he
made good before 10 O'Clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston came down stairs and
whilst Johnston stood under his door Davis dis
charged pistol loaded with BB shot at him.

way. A number of persons were standing up
on The canal bridge at the time, but as firing
pistols about the Basin is common occurrence,
no attention was paid to II. Al the very time
Johnston was shot, Rebecca, his eldest daughter,
had told Davis daughter Of the threats her IA

Immediately after committing the murder
Davis made his escape. A posse started after
him, bat. up TO the time we 90 to press, ne has
