FURTHER AS TO THE SHOOTING OF ANNE

FURTHER AS TO THE SHOOTING OF ANNE
ALIAS CORA DEAN From the Norfolk Plr-
g,nlan.] Sue Is about eighteen years of age,
and came here from Richmond, Va. She had
been for some weeks past the friend of Mr.
A. B. Grant, Of this city, who is better known
a. "Bub." Yesterday Graut got on little
Spree, and called upon his lady friend, who,
from some cause unknown TO us, did not r.
ceive him ia the kindest manner possible, a, d
q quarrel between them ensued, and the girl
was shot.
1t was stated by one of the ladies" in the
house that she attempted TO take the pistol
from Grant and it "went OFF," and when she
saw Anne Deax fall, she ran away and
screamed. The pistol was small, single.
barrelled sfflir, and was given 10 "Miss
Dean" by friend, but she gave j! to Grant,
and with it be shQxher and afterward. fled
from the scene, but was soon arrested and
con Seged to the station-house. .s~
The wound was examined and dressed by
Dr.. j. ID. Gait, who informed us that it was
painful, but not dangerous. The ball entered
the fleshy part of the left breast, two inches
left of the nipple, and passed directly through
without entering the body. 1t also passed
through the door which opened into another
room aud lodged in the back of wardrobe
therein. DR.. Gait administered morphine 10
quiet the nerves of his patient, and when
! last heard from she was free from the danger
of lorkjAw and nervous spasms-tb0ugh
both were threatening at one time.
Anne Dean Isl brunette, of progressing
appearance, rather below medium height,
tulI sui, OF very dark hair, regular features,
! good teeth, aud Muscular form. She says
she was raised in Louisa county, Va, but
will not disclose her real name. Says she ran
away from home and went to Richmond
.aoout six months ago, and came from there
to this city just before Christmas.
| Grant is we'll known TO this community.
When sober (as he generally is) he is a quiet
and unt Tending citizen; but when be i'm
bibes too freely he loses control of himself
and is apt to get into trouble. He has u
great many friends, who deeply regret the
| unfortunate affair of yesterday afternoon,
and who are fully aware that nothing but
too much liquor could hive gotten him into
such scrape. ."- - " 49, a.... g.. =.

LONDON, March LIN the House OF Com.
mons tonight Sir NJ. H. Beach, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, introduced bill lessening
the penalties for the unlawful possession of
arms in Ireland, repeating the law which au.
thorizes the closing of public houses and
the arrest Of persons found out OF doors at
night in the proclaimed districts, and re-
moving the restrictions on newspapers.
The Chief Secretary states that the GOV
eminent intends to reenact the laws against
Ribbonism in Westmeatb, Us it had been as
s1red that the Ribbon conspiracy existed as
strong as ever there. He pointed to the fact
that John Mitchell was elected to Parliament
because he had declared that he would never
consent to be at peace with England, and he
alluded to the return Of numerous emIgrants
from America, who, he said, had acquired
western vices and forgotten their Irish viz
tues. There were reasons for not wholly
removing the restrictions on the posse ssion
of firearms in Ireland.
The Marquis Of Harrington. the new Lib.
eral leader, supported the bill, which passed
it's first reading.
