Ed. Sanders Gives Constable Cr:, mcr the
Slip-Alderman Barr Gets a Tumble.
Tho statement that Ed. Sanders, who
struck Patrick Hagan.in the head with u
stone and fractured his skull, was ''locketl
up" was little premature. He was AZ
rested, as stated, by Constable Fisher Of
Columbia, who placed him i'm charge Of
Constable Cramer of this city. Cramer
brought him to Lancaster handcutfed, but
before dismOunting from the cars, ut
Sanders's urgent appeal, the handouts
were removed, and he accompanied the
constable peaccably to Alderman Barr's
Office. The latter proceeded ut once to
make out 4 commitment and had just put
the official seal upon it and was in the act
of handling it to the officer, when Sanders
made 4 bound through the front door of
tllcs Office, ran across Duke to Mifllin.
and up Miillin ut full speed. The
officer followed close behind him,
called upon him to halt, and threat
encd to shoot unless he did SO.
Sanders paid no attention to the threat,
and the officer seeing that his late pris-
Oner was outrunning him, fired three
shots after him but without apparent
effect, rs he darted into an alley, through
which he ran, and was last seen entering
Charles Schwebers cOrll-tield, ut the end
of Low street, since which time nothing
has been seen or heard of him by the
police. He is 4 slippery fellow, hard to
catch and harder to hold. He has given
the police the slip on more than one Occa-
sion before.
When Sanders darted from Alderman
Bars Office, with Cramcr ut his heels, the
alderman also ran after him, and just as
he reached the corner of Duke and Mifllin
streets, stumbled and fell heavily to the
ground, striking his left breast against q
large stone, scraping the skin off and max
ing an ugly wound as large rs the palm Of
i mans hand. lie also skinned his leg
and cut his hand, but not very seriously.
just as the alderman fell and rolled over
Constable Cramer fired his first shot at
Sanders. Some of the neighbOrs who
heard the report of the pistol and saw the
alderman fall supposed that he had been
shot, and hastened to make Mrs. Barr ac-
quaintcd with tho melancholy news, scar
ing the life almost out Of her. FOrtu-
netcly Mr.. Barr was soon upon his pins
and was able to contradict the alarming
story.
Disorderly Conduct.
Last evening before Alderman Barr,
were heard two complaints against Mrs.
Mary Phillips of Woodward street, one of
which was made by Mr.. ii. A. Miller,
charging her with disorderly conduct, the
other by Miss Henrietta Irwin, charging
her with surety of the peace. The case
created quite an excitement, the aldernan's
office being filled almost to suffocation with
witnesses and spectators. Some
twenty Or thirty witnesses were
examined, some of whom testified
that Mrs. Phillips was a common
scOld, the terror of the neighbOrhood and
constantly melting disturbances among
neighbors. On the other hand it was
shown, or attempted to he shown, that
Mrs. Phillips was badly abused woman
that Miss Irwin, who is pretty young
woman, had won the affections of Mr.. Phil
lips, the husband of defendant, and that
he had neglected his wife for the moro at
tractivc form and face Of Miss Irwin. Both
parties were represented by counsel. VIM.
