NJ. LEWIS CLARK JR. PRESIDENT OF THE
LOUISVILLE JOCKEY CLUB SHOT.
LoUIsvLLE, KY, Sept. 29.-Moore. of Crab
Orchard, shot Colonel NJ. Lewis Clark, Jr.,
president of the Louisville Jockey club vt the
Calf House this evening 1t is not thoue hit
that Colonel Clark'S wound is fatal. The
trouble had its origin at the Jockey club
ground this afternoon. Moore had two horses
entered for the first race, but as he was
indebted 10 the Club association for forfeits,
the president refused to allow them TO start.
One word led to another, from the track to
the Gait House, with the above result The
two men met about o'clock, and Moore in an
angry manner protested against Clark's rul-
ing The president Informed Moore that the
rules OF the association governed his conduct
in the premises, aud that he could not
violate them; that the rules required him TO
do as he had done. Colonel Clark then went
10 his office in the hotel, and in few min utes
was followed by Moore, who, on arriving at
the door OF the office, began shooting. One
ball struck Colonel Clark in The right breast
and glanced around the shoulder. The
affair causes much excitement among
the citizens, as Colonel CLARK is highly es.
teemed as an enterpT1siDg G, go-ahead man, one
that Louisville can not afford TO lose. After
the shooting Moore took a hack and was
driven to the jail, " here he gave himself up.

member of Good Templar's lodge, got

little faults, such rs driving sharp bar
gains, screwing the laborcr down to low
wages. loaning moneya at illegal rates, mis-
representing articles they had for sale,
etc. But they were good people, and
pressed the lawyer to come before the
lodge meeting and own up to his sin of
taking glass too much, for they abhorred
intempcrance- The sinner finally went to
the confession, found large gathering of
