Shooting of Policeman by Negro.

At half.past o'clock last night policeman G..
W. Grown, while on duty was seriously wounded,
under the following circumstances: 1t appears
that sweet-scented gentleman of color by the
name of Zephyr Canonge was talking night before
last about O'Clock in loud voice in coffee
house at the corner of Basin and St. Peter streets,
Crown ordered him to make less noise. Zephyr
agreed to do this, and afterwards asked Crown to
take a drink with him. Upon the latter declining,
Zephyr ordered cigars and told the barl1eeper to
bring them to the door. Just as the barkeeper
was in the act of presenting the cigars colored
man, whose name is John Keppard, drew pistol
and fired upon Crown. keppard was standing in
the bar-room door and fired at so close distance
as to burn Crowns coat with the powder.
The ball took effect in the middle of his chest
penetrating to the bone and then glancing. His
uniform coat is supposed to have saved his life.
AS soon as the pistol was discharged, Zephyr
and Kepard both took to their heels The former
was captured by Corporal Jislard about an hour
afterwards, at his house. kepard was arrested al
nearly the same time, by Lieut. Ramef and Sergt
/ LeClerc. Both of the parties when brought be
fore court, gave bonds for their appearance
Grown is described as being peaceable and quie
man, and can assign no reason for the attack
He now thinks that Zephyr was an aceompce o
Kepard, whose object (zephyr's) was to throw
him off his guard while Kepard made the at
| tack.

The shooting Yesterdax.

shooting affair took place yesterday about
o'clock at the corner of Magazine and Natchez
streets, in the store of R. Scott, auctioneer, in
which Mr.. D. F. Simpson received wound across
the lower part of the neck, grazing the collar
bone. The ball was fired by Capt. NJ. B. Cook,
who was shortly afterwards arrested by officer
Howard, at No. 81 ST. Andrew street, Fourth Dis
trict.
The account given of the matter by Capt. Cook
is, that he had difficulty with Simpson the night
before, and that Simpson had threatened at the
time to kill him; that he had met him upon the
day of the difficulty in the streets, and had been
followed by Simpson into store seeing Simpson
advancing upon him, he drew pistol intending
merely to show he was armed, but that uninten-
tionally the pistol had been discharged.
While he was making these explanations some
one stepped up to him and advised Cook to go
home or to give himself up. Cook then inquired
the way to the police station, and upon its being
pointed out to him, started off alone. He seemed
to have changed his mind afterwards, as he was
arrested at his house by two police.
The account given in the neighborhood of the
shooting, is that Capt. Cook, who came over yes
terday in the Cameia, was seen talking to Simpson
for more than an hour before the shooting. Capt
Cook was then seen to draw pistol which he
fred at Simpson, the latter using no weapon. We
visited the Hotel Dieu last evening" whittier Mr.
Simpson was taken, and DR.. Boyer, the chief sur
geon of the house, did not regard his wound IS
dangerous.

First District Court.

Theodule Lorenee, coored who, for upwards of
two weeks, had been in the parish prison awaiting
trial on a charge of shooting a negro named James
Williams, with intent to kill or murder, was yes
terday brought before Judge Abel, by a writ of
habeas corpus, for the purpose of arguing his
right to be admitted to bail.
Lorence resides at No. 80 Laharpe street, be-
tween Claiborne and Robertson streets. A short
time previous to the shooting of Williams, the
house had been burglariously entered and robbed
of a valuable gold watch and some thirty or forty
dollars in money. Two or three nights after,
another attempt was made to enter the house
About haf.past O'Clock on the morning of the
| 18th ult., a woman in the house called Mr.. Lo
renee and, directing his attention to some noise
about the premises, expressed her belief that il
was a thief. According to the voluntary decara
ton of Lorence, made before Recorder Letten, he
Immediately got his shotgun, and seeing the in
truder running to escape, fred at him as he was
climbing the fence, and he fell. 1t proved to be

shot Other testimony corroborated the state

committed him for trial and refused to take bail

Williams was taken and where he still j
could not certify as to the final result of Il
wound. Judge Abel, after examining the ev
dence, admitted the accused to bail in the sum

From gentleman, who came over yesterday
upon the steamer Mary, we learn that bold rob.
berry was committed upon the person of visitor
at the above named summer retreat.
It appears that two genteely dressed men made
their appearance at Mississippi City, and there re-
manned for short time. While in the place, they
entered Barnes's old hotel and in a general search
for plunder, extended their rambIes to five or six
ladies' rooms.1 Upon being detected by one of the
ladies, they gave as an excuse that they were
searching for o certain party, whO of course,
happened to be absent, and with whom, it soon
appeared, they had no acquaintance whatever.
They then walked to Biloxi, distance of eight
miles, and when there entered the room of Mr.
Mason. They then took from the pocket of his
pantaloons, which he had placed under his head
three $lO0 bills and six of the value of $780, witt
which they decamped From that point they are
supposed to have left for Mobile or this city.
They have both decidedly genteel appearance
One had a light moustache and hair, was about
feet 8 inches high, and weighs about lao pounds
Our informant has since learned that he ha
shaved his moustaohe. The other was of darl
complexion, and wore black moustache. Hi
shoulders were broad. He stood about 5 feet
inches high, and apparently weighed about l6
pounds. Their general appearance indicate
that they were either Engshmen or Northerner
recently arrived here.

officer Howard seems to have overreached the vo-
taries of faro. He introduced himself, unob-
served, into the room, and after witnessing the
game, which was going on briskly at the time,
blew his whistle, and several officers, who he had
stationed near by, with instructions to await his
signal, rushed into the apartment. The assault
was complete success. All the apparatus of a
faro table was seized, together with three hun
dred dollars in money, which was on the table.
Thomas Fitzgerald was arrested as the dealer and

Something Wrong on Felicity Street.

Residents on Felicity street, between Nayades
and Magazine streets, complain loudly of the
manner in which the street cleaning is done there
The mud from the cutters and the grass scraped
from the streets are thrown in heaps and those
heaps are not removed but are allowed to remain
until dried into dust by the or washed back in
to the cutters by rain. Meantime the decomposing
grass and steaming mud throw off the moist disa
greeable and unwholesome odor. We are also in
formed that the boxes or barrels in which house
keepers throw their garbage, in front of their
residences, frequently contain the accumulations
of three or four days before tine scavengers re-
move the fetid gatherings. We know not who is
accountable for this negligence, but whoever is
should Immediately introduce a reformation.
