recorders courts, and Coffee was removed
| from the clerkship of the same court last
year Ames fired four shots altogether !;
| but Coffee had trouble about his pistol, and
| only succeeded in firing twice. Coffee re-
ceived two wounds near the right hip, but
| the balls glanced, and the wounds are not
| considered dangerous. Ames received no
| wounds from the two shots fired by his
antagonist, but the parties were, at the close
| of the fight, at arms length from each other
| and Coffee became infuriated when repeat
| edly unable to fire off his pistol, and at last
| hurled it against the head of his antagonist,
inficting an ugly though not very danger.

and fled Before he reached the door Mrs.

him down stairs and while he was making

glar however, made good his escape. Upon
an examination of the premises, it was

About five o'clock Sunday evening man

Contracts for street Cleaning and Re-
4 committee of working men waited on
| General Sheridan yesterday, to ascertain II
| arrangements were not practicable by which
| loyal men could be employed directly by the
| city to perform the work of street cleaning
and repairing, instead of its being done
through the instrumcntality of contractors,
who will be likely to employ men with
| whom they sympathetic politically.
General Sheridan replied in substance
that he did not wish to interfere in tins
matter, but he would confer with the city
authorities and see what could be done. He
expressed the opinion that the work could
be done better and as cheaply under tht
direct control of the proper city authorities
as by the intervention of contractors.
There is reason to believe that the result
of the proposed investigation by the gen
eral will be to place the work of stree
cleaning directly under the control OF tn
city authorities.
