GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE CIRCLE.-Yes.
terday afternoon. during he performance of
the band at the Circle, difficulty occurred be-
tween colored man and private of the 9th
Veteran Reserve Corps, which resulted in
blows, and which for a time was the occasion
OF considerablsexeitement. The details of the
case, as we gathered them, were as follows:
a party of company ID, 9th Veteran Reserve
Corps, were gamboling or wrestling near the
statue. and one of them struck against COL
ored man, who asked him what he meant by
ct, and told him he had better not do so again.
The soldier replied it was merely on accident,
but If he did not like it, to make the most of 1T,
and with this the negro struck him and started
Tn to run, followed by the comrades OF the
struck soldier, who, at every chance they could
get, dealt the negro blow. On getting some
little distance outside the Circle, colonel
OF the Ninth army corps, whose name we
could cot learn, took the negro under his pro-
lection, and ordered the pursuing party not to
strike him.
Veteran Reserve Corps came mp aud took the
negro IN charge, and conducted hiM to the
guard house.
We did not hear of the arrest of either of
the soldiers who had been engaged in beating
the negro. The arrest of the negro appears to
have been for the purpose of protecting him.
The soldiers are we'll known, and their action
in the affair will probably be investigated.
SUIeDR-About six o'clock yesterday after
noon, August Meyer, q German, Jumped from
the third story window of Mrs. Runners res
ideEce, Ala Seventh street, where he had been
rooming for over three years past, and falling
and instantly killed. HIS left leg was also
broken above the knee, as is supposed by
striking the cornice over the first story. In
falling he was near striking some persons
passing at the time. He was taken up to his
room by some of the Fourth Ward police, who
remained in charge during the night. On an
examination of the room razor, the blade of
which was broken, was found, together with a
broken bottle, and the bed, floor and table were
covered with blood. II is thought the deceased
attempted suicide by cutting through his left
wrIst-leavIng the hand hanging by the skin
for the purpose of bleeding to death, but the
pain becoming too great he determined to end
his existence at once, and Jumped out of the
window, as above stated He was man of
from is to so years OF age, and kept cigar and
tobacco establis hment over Wilson 8, 327 Penn
