Second District-Psrents' Meeting.
Another Of the interesting series of PARENTS
meetings, inaugurated by the ladies connected
with the public schools for colored children In the
Second school district, was held last night at the
John r. Cook school building, and was largely
attended by parents and others interested in the
cause of education.
The meeting was called to order by Trustee

had assembled, which he said was for the purpose
Of creating and awakening interest in the minds Of
the parents concerning the education of their

is no crime, but rather a misfortune, TO be poor,
there is no reason why hlth should be associated
with poverty. He stated that he did not wish to
be understood as saying that parents must dress
their children extensively: Let thei. clothing
be ever SO coarse, but by all means have 1t clean

ANOTHER HOMICIDE.
James Riggs Killed by Travers Curtis-Rssult
of Boys Quarrel.

OF Boys Quarrel
On last Wednesday night, as will be remem-
bered, an alteration occurred between two boys,
James Diggs and Travers, alias Traveller Curtis,
on High street, near Seventh. Georgetown, dur
ing which Curtis drew pistol and shot Diggs in
the abdomen. Digs was removed to the house
of Mrs. Hoover, in Browns alley, near the scene
of the shooting, where he was carefully attended
from the time of the shooting and died yester-
day morning, about o'clock. Coroner Patterson
was Immediately notified, and during the morn
ing Dr.. HsTtigan made pOst-mortem examlna-
ton in the presence of the attendant physicians,
the result Of which is given below. Curtis, who
did the shooting, has not yet been arrested.
Three important witnesses to the ARRAY and
shooting. Henry Norris, Spencer Brown and Rob
ert Wilson, were absent from the city, and did
not testify. About noon the coroner proceeded to
hold
and the following jury was impanneled: J. B.
Thomas, r. Ullner, A. BlOxtOn, \. ID. Lyle, J. W.
Dyson and John Callahan.
The following is the evidence offered:
TOmsa. Durkins, sworn: Reside in Browns
alley. Georgetown: on the evening of Wednesday,
the 18th inst, between 10 and II O'Clock, as she
was coming across the open space near the black
smith shop, she saw Traveller Curtis lying on the
ground, and James Diggs on top Of him; they
seemed to be fighting, and witness parted them I'm
tween the boys and witness tried to have them go
home and thought it was all over; witness then
started to 20 home when she heard more words,
and turned to go back to them, but before she got
to them she heard the pistol go off.
Immediately AFTER the boy, Dggs, stopped for
ward and said: ''Ohr' Witness saw Curtis shoot
the pistol; the pistol in his hands; was about
ten ieet from them when the shot was fired, and
the boys were not more than six feet apart. Cur
tbs said. before he fired that the larger boys i'm
posed upon him, and that he going to kill
some Of them. This was after witness parted
them.
DR.. J. F. Hartigan sworn: Had examined the
body Of James Diggs; found q small pistol shot
opening between the seventh and eighth ribs on
the right side, half an inch from the middle line
of the body; followed the course Of the ball, and
found 1t had entered the pyloric end of the stom-
ach, the pAncreas and vena cava and lodging in the
right psoss muscle; the abdomen cavity was filled
with blood; Of course the wound caused death;
DO medical or surgical treatment would have
been of any AVAIL it was astonishing that he lived
60 long.
The Jury then withdrew for consultation, and
returned with the verdict that James Diggs came
TO his death by reason Of a wound In the abdomen,
inflicted with pistol held in the hands Of Tray
ers, alias Traveller Curtis.
