Two DEsERTERs ESCAPE FROM THE1T
GUARD One RECAPTURED.-Ye esterday
morning about II o'clock considerable ex.
element was occasioned in the neighbor'
hood of the Dispatch office by the sound oi
two musket shots, and in few seconds
after by the sight of two soldiers running
up Twelfth street closely pursued by an
armed soldier, who, Notwithstanding the
large crowd of males aud females on the
streets, attempted to fire again. The chase
was continued up Main to Eleventh, and
down that street to the corner of Cary,
where one of the deserters was caught by a
party of negroes. Edward Harrigan is the
name of the fellow, and when caught made
desperate efforts to escape. Finding his
efforts fruitless, he commenced to abuse the
guard, who, becoming very much incensed,
attempted to impale Harrigan on his bayo-
net, but was prevented by the bystanders.
1t appears that Harrigan and another
soldier, charged with desertion, were being
escorted under guard to prison, and while
on the south side of the basin were per-
mitted to 90 into bar-room and drink.
While in there they jumped out a back win
dow and started up Twelfth street to Main.
The guard pursued, and fired two shots,
neither of which struck the pursued or
any ything else, that We are aware of.
Harrigan's friend made good his escape.
We have since learned that one ball
lodged in the telegraph post on Twelfth
street in front of McPherson's restaurant.
The soldier who fred should be punished
for his recklessness. The wonder is that
one or more persons had not been shot.

SHOOTING AFFAIR AT THE MONTICELLO
HoTEL-ONE MAN BADLY WoUNDED-THE
ACCUSED BEFORE THE MAYOR-HE IS BAIL
ED TO APPEAR THURsDAY.-Between 3
and o'clock yesterday morning a shoot
iDg affair occurred at Sauer's Monticello
Hotel, on the south side of Broad between
Sixth and Seventh streets, during which
Mr.. John Meyer was severely wounded.
As we learn, there were 4 party OF
gentlemen, consisting of Messrs. Vincent
Bargamin, John Meyer, II. Willis, and F.
Boyd, playing cards in an upper room OF
the hotel. During the game Mr.. Barga-
min accused Mr.. Meyer of cheating, to
which Mr.. Meyer replied that Bargamin
Was liar. Mr.. Bargamin then threw his
hat in Mr.. Meyers face. To this Mr.. NJ
said nothing, but arose and knocked Mr..
B. down. There was then great deal OF
confusion, during which two shots were
fired, one of which struck Mr.. Meyer, en-
tering the lower part Of the abdomen,
passing through his bladder, and remain
ing in the body. The other shot passed
through a window Of the room without
injuring any one.
A few minutes after the shooting, Ser
geant Cousins, Of the police, having heard
the shots, came up and tried to get in, but
could not at first. After some delay, Ser
geant Burlington (who had relieved Cou-
sins) and Captain Poe effected an entrance
into the house, and learned that it was
generally conceded that Mr.. Bargamn had
fired the shots. A warrant was gotten out
for his arrest, and the Captain and Ser
geant went to Mr.. Bargamin's house. They
found him in bed, and told him they had
come to arrest him. He got up, dressed,
and was taken to the station house.
After receiving the wound, Mr.. Meyer
was perfectly helpless, and had to be car
ried to his room in the hotel. DR.. Grebe
was called in, and rendered the necessary
medical aid.
About IL o'clock Mr.. B. was arralgned
before the Mayor, Colonel 7. ?. August
appearing as counsel. The Mayor stated
that he was not prepared to go into an In
veStigation but from what he could learn,
he thought that if the wounded man died
it could not be called murder; that as the
man was in critical condition, and could
not appear, he would grant bail to the
accused, requiring him to give $4,000 secu-
rity for his appearance on Thursday morn,
ing. Mr.. John Ii. Knowles offered himself
as security, and was accepted.
Mr.. Bargamin appeared in court with
his face badly bruised, and seemed to DC
suffering considerably. He states tha'
while he was down he heard two SHOTS
but did not know who fired them. Ou'
reporter asked the other persons who were
in the room to give him the facts aDou
the affair, but they would not. 80.
Mr.. Bargamin is well known TO our citl
zens. He is at present the city scaven
ger.
Mr.. Meyer was q private watchman VI
to few months ago, but of late has oee'
engaged in no business.
At late hour last night the wounded
man was little better than in the morn
| ing.
