Another Of the periodical fights for
which Chinatown in Virginia Is noted.
came OF last evening. A great number
OF pistol and gun shots were fired. by
which Que C~hinaman. named All Jim.
Was killed. the ball entering his head
near ths left eye and penetrating the
brain. Several others were wounded
OF these. Quong Lee. the proprietor oil
q wash house on ID street, was shot
through tho left hand. the ball entering
on the back AMI coming out in the palm.
shattsrins the bones considerably. One
Of them was hit in the right thigh. near
the groin, the ball passing out near the
hip Joint. making an ugly.looking and
painful wound. Another was shot in
the right leg. about half way between
the knee and ankle. and q fourth In the
left forearm. the ball passing through It
and lodging in his thigh. from which 1t
was extracted by DIR. Conn.
Spectator wesnded.
The fight which began near tho corner
Of II and Union streets attracted 4 great
crowd Of spectators from varisus quar-
tiers. Some Of these got rather too close
and one % them named Johnny WEIGH,
a brother Of MONEYS clerk. was hit ON
tho knee by q stray bullet, making u
painful, though not dangerous wound.
IL is impossible to tell the exact number
Of Chinamen wounded. as they have a
way Of carrying OF and hiding those in
jurel. the doctors being about the only
ones admitted into their confidence.
Raid by ID rsiice.
At tho COMMENCEMENT Of the firing
the policemen nearest the Chinese quar-
ter rushed I o the scene and took a hand
in the fray. it being necessary for them
to use more forcibls arguments than
words to check tho infuriatsd pig.tails.
The sharp ring OF their pistols could DO
plainly distinguished from the shots
fired by the Cinnamon. who. a. q rule,
are not posted on tho manner OF loading
their weapons. After u time nearly the
whole police force OF the city gathered
on the battle ground aud made q raid ON
the houses in search Of those who were
doing the shooting or were loudsst in
their demonstrations. The brightness
Of the moonlight enabled or two OF
them to take prominent positions where
they could SEQ all that TRANSFERRED. and
these warned the others when any Chi
naman attempted to leave n house and
run away. One Of them who tried to
do so was soon brought TO q stand by the
discharge Of . couple Of shots. He APP
posred to dislike the music Of the bull
iets whistltng by his ears and dropped
on the ground as IL he had been shot.
Attempting - sheot Prisoners.
A couple Of the Cinnamon who were
arrested were set upon by some Of the
others. who kept lodging about and
trying to get a shot at them. and It re-
quir.l the utmost efforts Of tho officers
to prevent them from doing 40. Assis-
lance had to be sent for before the muir
derous wrelchss could be driven OF. A
large number Of arrests were made. and
the prisoners lodged in the Jail over
night.
The Cause OF tho Row.
We learned from an intelligentand APP
parentiy peaeeable Chinaman that the
difficulty OF last evening grew out OF the
shooting scrape OF a few nights ago. in
