Yesterday evening about T:S0 o'clock the
neighborhood of Second street, between L and
NJ streets southeast, near the canal, was startled
by the report, in quick succession, of two pistol
shots. Upon inquiry it was found that Charles
+. Fugitt and John w. Richardson had got into o
personal alteration, and that the former had
shot the latter in two places one shot entering
the right side Of the neck, the ball glaneing
downward, and one in the thigh, from which the
ball was extracted later by DIR. MeCauley. The
facts in the case are as follows 1t seems that for
long time past Richardson, who is familiarity
known as "Billy," has been running Mrs.
Hooper, the wife ofthe assistant drum major at
the Marine barracks, who is the slster-in-law Of
Fugitt and that the latter, who lives next door
to the Hoopers, made objection to the visits Of
Richardson to his sister-in-law's home during the
absence Of her husband.
who went and told Mrs H. and accused her Of IL
licit connection with Richardson. These facts she
in time conveyed to her paramour, and he swore
vengeance against Fugitt. With the expressed
preached Fugitts residence last night at the hour
stated and knocked in very loud and bold man
was wanted, and Richardson replied, II want to
see you" Fugitt said, "Bill, don't want any
thing to do with you;" to which Richardson made
answer, "You dirty s. ofa b., want something
to do with you, (" and at the same time made q
motion to draw pistol from his hip pocket, when
Fugitt observed this movement, and, having come
to the door armed in consequence Of the threats
made; raised his revolver and fired, with the effect
stated.
Mr. Fugitt was soon after taken into custody by
one Of Lieut., Austin's officers, and does not deny
the shooting. From all that can-be CLEANED he is
an Industrious man who is endeayoring TO support
wife and six children, and the llason going on
at the next house riled his better nature and
called forth his forcible but lust language against
the actions Of Richardson and Mrs. Hooper,
John w. Richardson is known about town as 8
very dissolute and worthless character. "

He urged the young people present to be like
Daniel in having an aim in life; in having pur-
pose true, and not afraid to make 1t known. Mr..
Riddle is quite young lecturer, but his original
ideas, and the happy and striking manner in
which he expresses them, causes his lectures to be
ever attended by large and appreciatiye au-
dience
The hym "Dare to be a Daniel'' was sung in
solo and chorus, Miss Elite NJ. Cameron render
ing the solo in manner excellent in clearness of
tone and sweetness of expression.

mously agreed TO.

The annual report OF Major General W. s.
Hancock, commanding the military division of
the Atlantic, states that the garrison at David's
Island, New York haibor, was Withdrawn during
the year, on account of the dilapidated condition
Of the public buildings there. The aggregate
number OF troops IN the division s 23s officers and
1,s33 enlisted men, distributed among twenty
posts. There were but few movements Of troops
In this division during the year. In reference TO
the establishment OF . nati0nalpark ct Mscxinac,
Mich, authorized at the last session Of Con Eress,
he says the preliminary steps necessary to carry
out the provisions Of the act have been taken,
under Instructions from the War Department.
He recommends that, in view Of the establish
ment Of the park, and the additional labor which
which will devolye thereby upon the garrison,
certain additions and repairs be made 10 the
public quarters at Fort Mackinac, for the pur-
pose Of posting another company there. He calls
special attention to the report OF the Judge advo
cate Of the division, which exhibits q gratifying
decrease In the number OF assertions during the
year. For the year ending August 81, 1873, the
percentage Of desertiors In the Department OF the
East alone was $3.50. For the year ending
August 81, 1874, the percentage In the entire d.
vision was n 30, and for the year ending August
81, 1875, the percentage was $50.
