Last night, at T:20 O'Clock, the denizens Of that
classic locality known as Majors alley were
startled by the report Of pistol and loud cries
as from female in distress. Officer Hobbs, Of
the Sixth precinct, who was near, rushed to one
Of the disreputable houses Of which the alley is
composed, and found the inmates in an intense
state of excitement, crowding xabout a white
woman named Sallie Dobbins, who was prostrate
near the door, bleeding profusely from wound
IN the knee. He Immediately inquired into the
matter, and arrived at the bottom facts, which
are as follows: The house is one of the worst of
the kind in that vicinity, general resort for
thieves. rOuRhs and lewd women Of both colors.
and hardly day or night passes without a row
or some disorderly transaction transpiring within
its walls.
Last night a gang, composed of such characters
as mentioned were collected there indulging in
noisy pastimes, when pistol, in the hands Of
eolored youth named William Parker. was dis
charged accidentally, the ball taking effect In the
kneeo of the prostitute referred to above The
woman was not seriously hurt, but her wound is
quite painful, and it is a singular circumstance
that she was not killed. Parker was taken to the
Central guard house, his pistol taken away from
him and after itwas fully proven that the shoot
ing was accidental he was released, with a warn.

attended by physician, and was doing well at
