The ARLAND-EOGERS SHOOT
ING
Death OF VIII. Rogers From the
Effects of the shot.

Andy EzcFarlanG Re-AErestcd for
MuEGer, and Gives Rev Bond.
VIII. Rogers, the cOlored boy who
was shot last week by Andy McFar-
land, comrade, died about o'clock
yesterday morning from the effects OF
the shot, the ball having remained in
his head all the while. Coroner A. w
Rose was notified, and summoned
the following jury of inquest: w.
F. Baker, J. B. Snyder, F..
T. Lockett, W. T. Manson, w. w.
Dunn, G. J. Rule and w. P. Waters.
The jury heard the evidence, which
was, in the main, the same as was
elected on the preliminary examina'
ton after the shooting. It was in
tended to have post mortem exami-
nation of the dead body, but his folks
so stoutIy objected that it was dis
pensed with. The jury after due
deliberation rendered a verdict that
deceased came 10 his death on the
26.h day of Feb, 1879, by pisto! shot,
fred by the hand of one Andrew Nc
Farland, on the 21st of Feb, 1879, and
the shooting was feloniously DONE"
AS soon as the news of the boys
death became circulated, Andy Nc
Farland was re- arrested on a warrant
charging him with murder in the first
degree. He was on a bond of 81 600
for felonious assault, already. The
case was again brought before Justice
Allison, a re- examination of the wit
nesses was waived, and the Justice de-
cided the case bailabIe one from the
evidence adduced in the preliminary
examination. Consequently the
amount of the bond was fixed at
So 900. This was promptly secured,
DR.. Boynton, by whom Andy is ems
ployed, appearing as his bondsman,
and he was released from custody.
The remains of Rogers will be buried
to-day.
The saying current in the seven
teenth century in the English Navy,
"There's no Admiral like cabin boy"
arose from a singular chain of success
sion formed by thethree great Admir-
ais of the times. The first of these
was Sir Christopher Mings, who be-
gan his career as a cabin boy. His
cabin. boy became Sir John Narbor~
ough, popularity known as "Gunpow-
der Jack" and the cabin-boy of Sir
John Marlborough became Sir Claudes-
ley Shovel.
