isfed that, the NessTs. L. Of this city, who have
been engaged in business here for several years,
bear no relation to- nor are they even acquainted
with, the family of same surname of Lee county,

The injured parties in the Dcmpsey-Warren
shooting affair are both yet alive. DIR. ]. Ford
Thompson has made an examination Of the wound
OF Dempsey. On Introducing the probe it came in
contact with hard substance lying under the skim
and applying the forccTs a sIlaI fragment of the
ball and piece of cloth was extracted. The
wound was then slightly enlarged so as to allow
the Introduction of the finger, when rib was
found TO be broken. No trace OF the ball was dis
covered and 1t is considered possible that instead
of entering any Of the organs Of the body 1t may
be cliDging TO the inside surface OF the rib. Lot
tie Warren is about in the same condition as yes
terday. Her physician gains encouragement
from the fact OF her being no worse.
We are informed Of another enterprise Just
starting. The West.India Fruit Company have
made arrangements TO offer extensive lots of for
eign fruit, &C., at stands $40, 81 and 3l2 Centre
market Bstreet wing, north side. Judging
from the great benefits so evidently derived
by the District people in the low prices
prevailing since the Malaga Fruit Company
opened, and the large quantities of fruit placed
on the market by them, we may offer cOngratula-
Ons TO our readers and the general public at this
new acquisition. We understand that they are
heavily backed, and have such extended facilities
for placing gOOds on this market they will offer
RTeat Inducements to secure an extensive bust
ness, as they will have large receipts which they
will be obliged to close out on arrival to make
room for continued fresh supplies.
