LOCAL MATTERS,

!
at the head Of Broad street, by man named
Henry Searls. The bullet took effect in the
right temple, entering the brain, and rendering
him insensible. He continued to breathe until
nearly twelve o'clock, when he expired. As
soon as the shot was fred, Searls started down
Broad street, and was arrested by officer Scott
and lodged in Jail. small sized Colts re-
volver, with all the barrels loaded, was picked
up near where the Chinaman fell, and small
derringer, which had evidently just been dis
charged, was found on the opposite side of the
street. Coroner Henry held an inquest on the
body of the Chinaman to-day, and from the eV-
idence taken, it appears that the difficulty orig
mated between Ssarls and Chinawoman.
SearlS accused the woman Of stealing ten dol
lars from him, and declared his purpose of not
allowing her to leave the room until police
man could be sent for to search her. All Sing
and other Chinese inmates went to the assis-
tance of the woman and scuffie ensued during
which Searls drew a revolver and struck All
Sing on the head, but the weapon was taken
from him, and he was forcby elected from the
house. Searls then drew derringer and fired
at All Sing, the ball taking effect as above
stated. The loaded revolver found on the spot
was shown to belong to Searls, and it appears
All Sing had it in his hand when he fell.
