EXCITING CENE.-Amongsthe passengers
on the o'clock train from the Fair grounds
yesterday evening there were half dozen
or more young fellows whose conduct indicated
that they were more or less intoxicated. One
of this party, named Alexander Lipscomb, a
youth in the employ Of Frank s.SheIry, was the
butt for the rouph jokes OF bis companions and
was punched and battledored by them without
scrupe. He threatened several times to shoot
and was jeered at in consequence. At last,
when he had received one or two severe cuffs,
he actually drew revolver and fred into the
crowd. Tho clothing off gentleman standing
by was burnt by the explosion. The ball pass
cd through Mr. William Fl. Taylor's pants,
cut off part of Mr.. Luther Camps glove,
passed through ady's dress and entered the
thigh of Captain George ". Jarvis, iD1ictine
painful flesh wound. As 5000 as Lipscomb
fred he was knocked off tho platform and fell
right underneath the wheels of the cars. But
for the presence of mind and quickness of a
coIored man, named Wash MINIS, who jerked
him away. bis body would inevitably have
been Gu, in twain. He fired a second time
after being dragged from the track. Captain
Disney arrested Lipseomb and, together with
Captain Fow kes conveyed him to the station
