DESPERATE AFFRAY ON ELM-sTRRET-A MAN
SHOT AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDED IN A STREET
FIaHT.-A man named John Schlosser was se-
riously. wounded in street fight, day before
yesterday, that occurred on Elm-street, near
the canal. It appears, from what we could
learn Of tho affair, that he became involved
in q quarrel with man, whose name we were
unable to ascertain, and during the melee was
shot in the left side, the ball striking rib and
glancing around the body rather than directly
entering 1t.
The wounded man was taken into drug
store on the corner of Elm and Twelfth streets,
where his wound was dressed, after which he
was removed to his residence. In the excite
ment caused by the affair, the would-be muir
derer escaped, and has not been heard from
since. The wound, although serious one, is
not dangerous, but 1t will confne him to his
bed for q considerable length of time.

DIsAsrRous AND X,

DISASTROUS AND ExPENsIvs RuNAwAY.--A
couple Of horses attached to a carriage ran
away from Wernecke's stable; in Court-street,
yesterday afternoon, and dashed up Main
street at q fearful pace. When near the canal
they ran against o farmers wagon, and whom
opposite Jefferson Hall, they completely de-
molished the vehicle to which they were at
tached by running against milk-wsgon, the
driver Of which only escaped death by leap
ing to the ground, by which feat he broke his
leg and otherwise injured himself severely.
The horses were finally stopped and returned
to the stable, but the mischief they did during
their temporary madness, will involve loss
Of nearly $500, beside in ell probability MAIN
ing man for life.

Heavy burglary Of millinery Estab-
lishment-Two Females Supplied by
Chloroforu, a.d uohhad

Heavy Burglary of a Millinery Estab-
lishment-Two Females Supplied by
Chloroform and Robbed
One Of the most daring and successful
buiglsries which has taken place in this city
tor long time was perpetrated, night before
last OF the millinery establishment Of Mrs.
Jsmison, No. 121 Fifth-street.
Happears that the burglars effected an en-
trance to the building from the rear yard,
through window, by forcing open the shut
tsrs and then breaking the window fastnings.
They ransacked the store from one end to the
other and carried off silk goods, ribbons, and
$4,000. 57
They then proceeded to the chamber over
the store, occupied by Mrs. Jamison and her
daughter, TO both OF whom they administered
ch'oroform In quantitien so large as to Supply
them to such an extent that at late hour last
evening they had not thoroughly recovered
from the death like stupor into which thew
had been thrown.
Unfortunately, Mrs. J. had drawn the sum
of 81 400 from the bank the day previous, in
tending to mako use Of it, yesterday, for busi-
mesa purposes, and this upon retiring she had
placed beneath her pillow. The scoundrels,
after securing both the money and the goods,
left the house with their booty--their victims,
80 noiseless had they completed their work,
oil the time unconscious Of their nocturnal
visitation.
No clue has, as yet, been obtained as to who
were the perpetrators Of this daring affair, and
as they seem to have left no trace which would
lead to their discovery, 1t is quite likely they
may go unwhipt Of justice. Mrs. Jamison
and her daughter both suffer still from the
effects Of the oft times death producing drug,
and 1t is possible that the result may yet prove
more disastrous than even the burglars in
tended; for their ultimate and entire recovery
would appear almost a miracle Of the medi-
cinal art, - =.
