Enquirer.
Early this morning the city was all shaken
up over a sensational shooting ARRAY.
Bridget Sullivan for months past has had
lover named Patrick Dasey. Patrick was
ardent and untiring in his devotion up to
very recent period, when he altogether cased
his visits and courtship. Bridget claims
that he was very lover-hke until he attempted
to accomplish her ruin, and 'sgot left.''
Then he unceremoniously, unwarningly for
sock her. She further says that Dasey again
and again promised to marry her; that he
won her affections by his Establishments; and
that his deserton wounded her heart and en-
ragged her sense of justice.
Saturday night last she met Dasey on the
street and demanded to know where he was
going. She told him, upon receiving rude
reply, that she would follow him to the ends
of the earth, but finally let him go, under
threatened that if he did not keep his word
to her she would have his life in revenge.
Sunday she made several efforts to inter
view him at his boarding house, but the
proprietor thereof gave her the grand
bounce.
Early this morning she came down to the
foundry of the Malleable iron works, where
Dasey is employed, and waited his advent.
The hands at the foundry gathered outside
with eyes and ears strained to a painful ten
sion, and in high glee over the expected
rumpus. AS Dasey neared the foundry
Bridget stepped up to him and remarked:
what do you want with me!' Bridget pulled
revolver from beneath her shawl and began
firing at Dasey. He says that the first shot
just grazed his ear, that he stepped toward
her to seize the revolver when he saw that
she had the weapon again cooked. His in
clination was to fly; the hands of the shop

he beat hasty retreat; and, as he was on
rapid run for the shop-door, ball passed
through his coat-tails, another between his
legs, and fourth lodged in the sill of the
foundry door just as he entered it. Bridges
