Main Street Clerk Shot
Down by a Detective.

About ten clock this morning, the
sidewalk in front of Tobin, Lynn 4 Co.'S,
on the east side Of Main, near Union
street, was the scene of an ARRAY be-
tween u. f. Kelly, an employ in the
shouse, and Ben. Garrett, q Metropolitan
Police Detective, and for many years
con ected with the police force of the
city in various capacities, 1t would
seem that anaold grudge hadexisted be-;
tween the parties growing out of some
family Misunderstanding, and no later
than yesterday Kelly had threatened
Garrett's life whenever they should.
meet. Ignorant of this fact, Garrett
was passing down Main street, at the
hour above mentioned, this morning, and
had reached a point opposite Tobin,
Lynn &Co.'s, when Kelly observing him
passing, stepped out on the sidewalk and
leveling his pistol at him fred. The
parties were thenabouteight PAGES apart,
and the ball from Kclly's pistol missed
its aim. Recocking the weaponS he
made an effort to FIRE again : but in this
instance the load failed to 60 off Gar.
rett, who up to this time had made no
effort to resist the assault, then produced
a repeater and discharged two barrels at
Kelly. the balls from both of which took
effect on his person, one of them enter
ing bis right hip and the other his left
shoulder, telling him to the sidewalk.
Seeing that he had thus disposed Of his
adversary, Garrett delivered himself up
to an officer, who by this time had
reached the scene, and Kelly was taken
into the store, where his wounds were
properly dressed and everything possible
done for his relief. 1t is hardly thought
that he will recover, as both his wounds
are of very serious nature.
Since writing tbs above we learn that
the scene Of the ARRAY was not in front OF
Tobin, Lynn e CO.'S, but in a saloon in
the vicinity. Mr.. Garrett will have a
hearing before asmagistrate this even

to Southern States. One OF them is from
Texas and another from Georgia, two
from South Carolina, and two or three
others from Louisiana, Alabama and
Tennessee. The arms purchased are
mostly revolvers. and repeating or
br~each-loading rifles. All muzzIe load
ing rifles are discarued, and purchasers
are understood to prefer short barrels to
long ones. Ten thousand revolvers were
sent South to one eonsignnent three
weeks ago. Shipments Of 2060, 200 and
500 revoIveFs are frequent. The Charles

parties in that city. Oae dealer in fire

fesses not TO know where the al
he sells are going. These facts point
rather strikingly to the disturbed condi-
