Serbian Perrien receiving . large cut on
his head. delivered by an unknown hand.
The fact that number of colored men,
ward politicians, used to loiter about the
State House formed many i'll natured para

TROUBLE AMONG PoLICEMEN.-At eleven
O'Clock last night Corporal Beasler, first
precinct, was on Carondelet street near
Perdido, when Officer Gleason approached
him and began talking about woman OF
bad repute. Only few words passed be-
tween them when Gleason drew his re.
volver and fred twice, the first shot being
90 close that the powder burned the cor
porsls face. The second shot passed
through Beaslers left arm, just above his
wrist. passing out on the under side. 1t
Goes not appear that either of the bones are
broken. As Gleason was retreating Beas-
Ter tired one shot at him, but could not say
whether it did any harm or not. Gleason
disappeared, and the corporal called for as
sistance and in half Q minute hundreds of
men were on the ground. 1t appears that
Gleason left his beat on Dryades street to
find Beasler, evidently to make trouble.
Gleason was not arrested at twelve O'Clock
last night.
