SHOOTING AFFAIR.



A shooting ARRAY took place yesterday
il Rocktown, between a negro named
Sam Slaughter and Officer McAndrews of
the Metropolitan Police. The facts, as they
were related to us, are as follows: Sunday
night Slaughter whipped his wife severely,
for what cause we were unabld to learn.
Yesterday a policeman was sent for, when
the Sergeant dispatched Officer Mean
drews to Slaughtei's house in Rocktown,
near Fort Nsgley. The officer proceeded
to the negro's house, and attempted to
arrest him, when the negro drew pistol
and fired at him. The officer returned the
fire, the ball taking effect in bis right
hand, causing the pistol to drop from his
hand. Slaughter then stopped to pick up
the pistol, when McAndrews fired again,
this time shooting him in the right shout
der, the ball ranging upward near the
shoulder joint. The wounds are quite
serious, but DR.. Hughes, the attending
physician, is of the opinion that he will
recover. Slaughter is now in the Work
house, and will have hearing as soon as
his wounds will allow him TO attend the
investigation. Nothing will be done with
Officer McAndrews, as he shot him in self

AN0THER SHOOTING AFEAIR.

A Burglar is Arrested, Attemp Is 10
Escape and is Shot Down.
Detective Ryan and Policeman Thomp-
son have been engaged for several days
in tracing up the many rObberies that
have been committed in this city for the
last week Last night about 9 O'Clock,
they arrested a man named John
Hart, whom they believe to be
the perpetrators of the offence.
Hart is considered a desperate man.
Having Just been pardoned out Of the
penitentiary where he was sentenced to
number of years imprisonment, for
killing a negro in South Nashville, he
has again commenced his acts Of violence
and crime. Last year he stabbed a man
in the western portion of the city
at the same time receiving an
almost serious wound from gunshot. He
was taken to the workhouse last night in
charge of officer Thompson, and when
they reached the door Hart dealt the Of,
fcer a heavy blow on the head and
knocked him down, then attempted to
escape, but the officer drew his pistol and
shot the prisoner through the hips, inhicting
dangerous wound, from which he is not
expected to recover. He was then taken
into the workhouse and medical assistance
summoned. Officers Ryan and Thompson
deserve much credit for the dllige Mt search
they have made and the final capture Of
the desperate. This is the second shooting
ARRAY that took place in the city yesterday.
The particulars of the other will be found
above,
