Notorious Sporting Nan and Politician
Shot.
New YORK, June Sth.-A Times Cincin-
natl special has the following additional de-
tails of the shooting of Eph. Holland: Hol-
land was passing the corner of Fourth and
Race streets, opposite the Commercial office.
and when about fifteen feet distant from
Woodrough, the latter leveled his revolver
and fred. Holland gave loud yell, stag
gered against the confectionery stand, sprang
upon it twice. whirled around, and finally
staggered behind the man at the stand, where
he concealed himself Woodrough stood
quietly under the gas lamp, with his revolver
in position to fire again, when he was dis
armed and seized by the police. He went
quietly along with the officers. AT the sta
tion-house he has persistentlY refused to say
anything in regard to the shooting. Holland
is very seriously wounded in the groin, but it
is not known at this hour whether there is
chance of his recovery. He has said several
times recently that the ring was determined
to assassinate him before the meeting of the
Democratic National Convention, but he
would stand his ground There would be
men at the Convention who would not like
to see him, and he would have something to
tell that they would not like to hear. The |
suppOsition is general tonight that his assas- |
sination is directly connected with his politi- |
cal work for Tilden and the Democratic
party in 1876. The affair has caused much |
excitement about tie streets where the news
has spread.
