pus In one of the shanties in that locality.
Investigation showed that little family
scrimmage was going on in house occu-

herself rather disagreeable, when James
losing his temper, sailed into her with a
stick, thus opening the proceedings in his

Row I'm a Barroom-A Man shot at.


About half-past two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, as Policeman Muse was walking
his beat, his attention was attracted by the
report of pistol, proceeding from bar
room, corner Of Farm and Margaret streets.
He Immediately fastened to the place, and
found there was considerable row, occa-
stoned by a colored individual, named
]. A. Cohen, who had fired his pistol
at another man named Henry Minis
The officer at once arrested Cohen,
who resisted him most violently. and tore
his coat nearly from his back. He
fought like savage, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that he was overcome
and carried to the barracks.
Resistance to arrests is becoming quite
frequent of late, and it Is absolutely neces-
sary that the full penalty of the law should
be Imposed upon all parties who are guilty
Of this serious offense.

A Backing Horse Causes a Capsize.
Saturday afternoon about two O'Clock q
little white boy, who was driving horse at
tached to buggy to Martins stable on
State street, had a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury. He had turned down Brough-
ton street lane to enter the stable from the
rear, when he noticed horse attached to q
spring wagon standing near the building.
There was. however, ample room for him
to pass, but just as he approached the
wagon the horse began to back and the
hind wheel of the wagon struck the front
wheel Of the buggy, completely capsizlDg
1t and throwing the lad to the ground. He
was driving very slowly at the time, how.
ever, and except few bruises and being
pretty badly scared, he fortunately escaped
any serious hurt. The buggy was only
slightly damaged, as the horse, knowing the
stable did not attempt to run.
