ARREST OF SAMUEL AGGE, WHO MADE TIE
NUMEROUS AssAULT-HIs STORY OF THE
SHOOTING.
Yesterday morning, Chief Clarvoe directed
Detective j. w. Coomes to take the early train
TO Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, and take into
custody Samuel Agge, the cOlored boy who
made the murderous attack on Mrs. Fannie
Kelly about two weeks since, on T. street, be-
tween Eth and 18th streets, a dispatch having
been received by him from parties at that place
that A gge was there.
Mr.. COomes returned with the boy last even
ing, and he says that he did not know the
pistol was loaded, having just got it from
another boy as security for a small debt due
him; that il had no catch to the trigger nv
which 1t could be cooked like other pistols: that
Mrs. Kelly made the first assault upon him with
an iron IRE poker, with which she struck at
him three times, once hitting HIM on one of his
thumbs; that he had backed TO the head of the
steps, Mrs. h. following, when he pulled the
pistol out with his thumb on the hammer and
IN raising his hand to ward off blow his thumb
sipped, when IL was discharged. He saw her
raise her hand to her head, and then he ran off .
but did not mean to leave the city until advised
70 90 so by some of his companions, who told
him TO go, as he had killed the woman He
then started up the towpath and walked to the
seven locks, when he got on a canal boat and
went to Cumberland.
The prisoner was arraigned in the Police
Court this morning charged with assault with
intent to kill Mrs. Kelly, and pleaded not
guilty. Detective CoOmes testified to what the
boy had said after his arrest, also to making
the arrest, and the judge sent him to Jail for
action OF the grand jury.

PRovENKNTs OF WASHINGTON.
A serensde, given under the auspices of the
Tennesseeaps In Wsshing ton, was rendered to
Representative Horace Maynard at the Ebbitt
House last evening, the marine band furnishing
the music. The hotel was brilliantly illumi-
uatid with Chinese lanterns and gas Jets, and
was decorated with American flags. Among

Maynard were President Grant, Secretaries
RObeson and Richardson, Senators Morton and

sey; Hon. j. b: Sener. Of Virginia; Hon. Chas.
G. Williams, of Wisconsin; all of the republican
members from Tennessee; and other prominent

After several airs by the band, Hon. H. II.
Harrison, of Tennessee, introduced Mr. Mayn-
ard, and welcomed him in few complimenta-
~ remarks. In responding, Mr.. Maynard re-
turned thanks to his friends, and in the course
OF his remarks, alluded to the late monetary
panic and the possibility of q war with Spain,
which he hoped had been averted By the wise &C :
ton OF Secretary Fish. He also referred to the
Improvement of the national capital, as follows

The Priest and His Dinner.

A priest was standing at the corner of
square about the hour of dinner, when
one of his countrymen, observing the
worthy father in perplexity, addressed him {;
40, Father OLeary, how is your river
enco p
+" Mighty put out, Pat
Put out? Who'd put out your river
ence?'
All, you don't understand / am in
vited to dine at one of the houses in this
square, and have forgotten the name"
ooh, is that all {? just now be aisy,
your riyerence; I'll settle that for you"
Away few the good-natured Irishman
around the square, glancing at the kitch-
ems, and when he discovered a fire that
denoted hospitality, he thundered at the
door and inquired:
Is Father 0Leary here p
As might be expected, again and again
he was repulsed, At length an angry
footman exclaimed:
"No bother on Father O'Leary, he is
not here, but he was to dine here to-day,
and the cook is in a rage, and says the
dinner will be spoiled. All is waiting for
Father 0Leary."
Paddy, leaping from the door as if the
steps were on fire, rushed up to the aston
ished priest, saying
All is right, your riverence you dine
at forty-three, and mighty good dinner
you'll get.
"0h, Pat" said the grateful pastor,
"the blessings of hungry man be upon
you"
Long life and happiness to your river

wish had your cure.
