MURDER.
Desperate Affrny on Washington Av-
enue-A Man Shot by Charles Huff.

A desperate aflray occurred on Washing
ton Avenue last night, which resulted in
the shooting of an estimable young man by
one of the most desperate and notorious
ruffians of this city, named Charles Huff.
A fancy woman of Huff's named Mollie
Harris, was about to marry soldier named
Casper, and Huff got party Of his friends
and repaired to Washington Avenue, near
South street, with the avowed intention Of
killing one or the other of the parties.
Before starting upon this errand Huff
demanded money from his father and
upon being refused, drew his revolver
and would have shot his parent but for the
interference of other persons.
His father, knowing the determination of
his son to kill Casper, sent carriage after
him, with several friends of the family, in
Guiding Mr.. Thomas Bates, in the hope of
preventing a disturbance. Young Huff
met the woman Harris and the soldier on
Washington avenue, justas Mr.. Bates reach
ed the spot. Huff wanted to drag Casper out
of the carriage and fight him, but Mr.. Bates
interfering, remarked that if he, Huff, was
determined to fight he had better give up
his revolver. Huff replied that ifhe want
ed the revolver he could have it, and there
upon fired upon Mr.. Bates, who fell down,
and Huff fled. The ball entered the groin
of Mr.. Bates, and passing downwards in
tlicted a mortal wound. Bates was convey
ed to his residence in the north end of
town, and DR.. Hamilton was called in. At
midnight Bates was still living, but the
prospect of his recovery was then exceed
ingly poor.
The police were placed upon the track of
Huff, and he was arrested near the corner
of Third and North streets, by officers
Hibbs and Coffroth. He made desperate
resistance, and almost succeeded in an at
tempt to shoot officer Hibbs, but he was
finally knocked down and conveyed to the
station house. Huff is young man of bad
character, and has for years been generally
disliked as reckless and desperate ruffian
destined to have a bad end.

The COLUMBUS HOME INSURANCE CON-
PANY.-Thss is one of the Institutions of
this City. Its Managers are among our best
and most reliable business men, and they
are strongly endorsed. We believe that the
utmost faith can be reposed in the security
of the Company. Its plan of mutual insu-
rance differs from that of most other Com
panies of this sort, in which the sum paid
down almost always proves inadequate to
meet the losses and expenses, thus necessi-
tating an assessment on the premium note,
and leaving the insured in doubtful posi-
tion as to what may be the cost of his in
surance. The "Home Insurance Company"
gives all policy-holders voice in the con-
troll of its affairs, and fixes definitely the per
cent. of assessment, so that the insured
knows exactly to the fraction ofa cent what
he has to pay-and when that is paid, his
obligation is met; and then, when dividends
are declared, he gets his per cent. of them.
We cheerfully commend this Company,
and call the readers attention to its adver-
tisement, which will be found elsewhere in
this paper.
In this connection, it may not be out of
place to print the following letter, which
explains ITSELF

pany" of your city. was called upon on
the 10Th day of April last by their agent,
MIR. A. FL. Stephens, who took my applica-
tion for insurance on my property in said
company to the amount of $500 90. On the
night of the 9Th of July my dwelling was
totally destroyed by fire. My policy was
also burned, so that l was left in the dark
as to what my claims upon the company
were. l addressed letter to their Secre-
tary, Mr.. d. B. Hubbard, who gave direc-
tions for making out the necessary proofs,
and informed me that so soon as the proofs
were received at the office and the loss
proved to be an honest one, it would be i'm
mediately adjusted. The proofs were made
out as directed, and, on the receipt of the
same at the office, their General Agent, Mr..
Alex. H. Hanley, called on me and paidmy
loss in full to my entire satisfaction. mem
tion these facts that my neighbor farmers,
and Others, who have property to insure,
may know that this "Home Company" is re-
liable, prompt and honorable. The names
of the officers of this company, together
with the policy they pursue, and the prompt
and honorable manner in which they do
business, makes it company of our first
choice. We would advise all who are prop
erty owners to patronize this Home Com
pany.
Insert and oblige, yours truly,

for the purpose of making an appropriation
for the payment of note due Bailey,
Thompson & Co., amounting to $10,OOO.-
Fourteen members were present. and Pres

Mr.. Thompson introduced an ordinance,
which was adopted, making an appropria-
tion for the payment of a temporary loan
of $4,000, which sum is to be disbursed
upon the certificate Of the Chairman of the
Finance committee.
Mr.. Wilson, Chairman of the committee
on Ways and Means, having moved out of
the city without resigning, question arose
as to whether there was a Chairman of the
committee. Considerable discussion arose
upon this subject, and Mr.. Wilson, who,
while present in the Council was only eff
cient in retarding Its business, seems to be
equally efficient in the same way after he
has moved out of the city and appears to
be no longer member Of the body.
Mr.. Buttles offered resolution requesting
the Mayorto issue proclamation for the
election ofa Councilman for the Seventh

The President appointed Mr.. Rickly

Rebels Attempt 10 Drive Warren
from the Weldon Railroad.

Fortress MONROE, via BALTIMORE o.
A steamer from City Point states heavy
cannonading began Saturday night on our
extreme left, in front of the 9th Corps,
which continued until four o'clock this
morning. Heavy musketry firing was
heard up to the hour the mail boat left-lO
o'clock this morning. The fighting, de-
scribed of the most spirited character, was
caused by the enemy attempting to drive
us from the Weldon railroad, but up to the
latest accounts they failed TO do it. The 5th
Corps has been reinforced, and no doubt is
expressed we would hold the position.
