King and Pitt streets. James WEIGH was shot
by John I Ed, the ball entering lust above
the left eye, inficting a very severe wound
Welch fell Immediately, and was borne to his
nome at his fathers, at the lower end Of Royal
street, where DIS. Broun and Chancellor
promptly rendered him medical assistance.
His situation early this morning was regarded
es hopeless After firing the pistol, Ed re-
treated from TIE bar room To the billiard ROOM
where he was arrested by Officer Chipley He
was taken before Justices English and Sum
mers, who Committed him to jail to await the
result; of Welch's wound
Without entering into the minute particulars
Of the limited testimony before the Justices, it
appears that Welch was behaving rather
DOistcrously in the restaurant, when Ed re-
monstrated with him that thereupon Welch
applied an insulting and Opprobrious eplthet
u Edd, which the latter warned him not to
repeat; that Welch then said, &" What say
mat say last; Hhereupon Edd drew q pistol
and fred
The weapon used was a FIVE barrel revolver.
WEIGH, We understand, is a brother of the
youth who was killed at the circus in this city
out three years ago Ed is a married
man lie Is the same person who, a few hours
before shooting WEIGH, had caught the child
thrown from the window OF Strauss burning

Bots parties had been at the FIRE, and bat

our community, and brought the deepest au-
gush upon two families

sicianS have succeeded in extracting one ball
which had lodged just above the cheek, but
the Impression is that another ball yet re
mains. Little hope is entertained of his re-
covery.
MATTERS IN GEORGETOWN The severe
weather and the bad condition Of the roads
prevents the arrival Of many dealers from the
country, consequently, business is not so lively
as usual, though quite as lively as could be
expected under the circumstances
The approaching municipal election appears
to be the principal topic Of conversation among
the citizens. who are zealOusly engaged in
working for the success of their candidates

were arrested on Monday, by Oficers Trunne!l

eniekens, four geese, and sixteen dozen eggs
