EFFECT OF CARRYING CONCEALED WEA-
roNs.-An incident occurred in this city early
this morning which though fortunately unat-
tended with serious results, should, and 1t Is
hoped will, prove a warning to those who carry
concealed weapons. DR.. Bedford Brown while
H. ar ct,r
ing blow on his hip, and at the same time the
report of pistol shot was heard and smoke
was seen issuing from the waistcoat of color
ed man standing few feet off. The DR. hav-
ing experienced the sensation OF gun shot
wound before knew that he was shot aud said
~ and upon examination it was found that he
mad been struck on the hip with small sized
PISTOL ball which, however, had not penetrated
the flesh. and which was found in the Drs.
clothes The sound Of the report caused the
greatest excitement in the market, and large
crowd soon collected around the DR.. and the
man whose pistol had shot him, and the latter
was taken hold of by two citizens and carried
across the street to police headquarters, where
he was examined before Justice White, and
committed to Jail to answer the charge OF car
rying contested weapons; His name is Joseph sep
Stark, and he halls from Manassas. The
ticc's action is universally approved of, because
if all the coored men 10 the country, or white
men either, are to be allowed to 60 about,
and into the most thronged resorts, armed with
loaded pistols, nobody's life will be safe.
