Cox was shot in Middle Abbey street last
night by man named Dolan. brass filter
IN Cross hevin street. Another detective
named Eastwood shot Cox's assaiIant.
Both the wounded men were taken to the
hospital where Cox died. The detectives
had been on duty all the evening. About
halt-past ten O'Clock they noticed thirty
suspicious looking persons withdraw from
the crowd on the opposite sidewalk. leav-
ing party Of ten men, with whom the
detectives had the encounter. The officers
crossed the street, and Cox approached
Dolan, whom he suspected Of having arms
in his possession.
As the detectives neared the group a
man shouted Now fire!' and Dolan i'm
mediately discharged his revolver. East
wood ran towards DOlan, and. after
WOunding him, Wrenched his revolver
from his grasp. Mr.. MELVILLE. one of
the party, fired twice at Eastwood, one
OF the bullets penetrating the latter's hat.
\ man named Deyine knocked Eastwood
down and was about to draw revolver to
shoot the detective, when he was seized
by a constable on one side and by a sol
dier on the other. \ soldier drew his
sWOrd-bayOnet and held it across DeYine's S
throat, threatening to kill him instantly if
he moved. A voice in the crowd shouted
''ShOOt the soldier" Matters appeared
threateninga at this junctuTe, but the police
confronted the crowd with their revolvers
and threatened to fire. This action of the

back until Cox and the prisoners were
carried away. Dolan is in the hospital,
and is not expected to live. He says he
and the party he was with are all GOOD
men, and he does not care if he dies.
The police state that a whistle was
blown as they approached the group, and
that the word to fire was repeated three
times. Another constable, as well as
Eastwood, used his revolver. firing two
shots at Dolan and three at others of the
party. The police at two O'Clock this
morning broke into the house of William
Woodward, an organ builder in
Cutie street, and arrested him on
the charge Of being connected with the
murder of Detective Cox. Woodward has
been imprisoned under the coercion act
on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of lnformer Bailey. The police
were expected to break into other houses
during the night. \ mob followed the cab
in which the detectives were conveying
Cox to the hospital, and fearing an attack
the officers presented their revolvers out
of the windows Of the cab and reached the
hospital in safety.

changed, has observed a recklessness of

Union office at New York. As for the

MILLIONS LOST IN OIL.

A Bradford, Pennsylvania, dispatch to

The oil market to-day was fully as pam

81 %, but opened up this morning with
sales at 81 04, and then broke off without

rapidly to CSC, but continued unsteady

sion. At the close some heavy trading
was done at 97Ic.. which was the best
Dld. The sales of the day were 1890, 600
| barrels.
The entire trade seems to be paralvzed
| from this sudden break in values. At
| times ON the Exchange the market would

so great an extent that it is doubtful if it
can be restored for some time to come II
Is conceded that there is nothing in the

country got loaded up and when the

the scramble began. The prospects are

The ruin and suffering that prevail in
the OIL country are without a parallel i'm

sufficient strength to hold steady to-mor-

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The Times states
that late last night it was learned that the
wholesale boot and shoe house of Phelps,

been Systematically robbed of some
100000 to $4,000, and possi-
bly, more, by some of their travelling
statesmen. in collusiOn with others of their
most trusted employees. The plan pur-
sued was for the statesmen to send i'm from
the new towns in the West fictitious or
ders from imaginary firms or from those
which had dissolved partnership, or dou-
bic orders would be then shipped, the du-
plicates being taken up by
travelling statesmen and the
rest returned to the Chicago firm. The
greed and boldness of the contederates eX-
cited suspicion, and an investigation fol-
lowed which is said to have unearthed the
fact that upwards of dozen
men were in the conspiracy.
One of them, G. NJ. Welles, is
said to have been arrested, while the af-

The Congressional Investigating Com

Jetties.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2j.-The Congress
sional Mississippi River Investigating
Committee returned to this CITY this morn
ing, after spending one day in the exami-
nation of the jetties. The committee took
careful soundings in the channel from the
head Of the jetties to a distance of one
fourth OF mile out in the Gulf Cross
section soundlngs We're made also, so as to
determine the depth of water outside the
channel. The soundings showed the depth
required by law to be maintained. The
committee since its return has expressed
Itself satisfied with the jetties from its in
spectlOn OF yesterday. \ brief stop was
made at Lake BOrgne for the purpose of
examining the locality where it is pro-
posed to make an outlet. No testimony
was taken there, and no express
sions Of opinions were made by the
committee on this subject. The
committee spent the morning in the ex-
animation Of Captain Hughes, who has
charge Of the inspection on the part of the
government at the ietties. He said that
the depth Of water in the channel of the
ietties was maintained through dredging.
He did not know whether nature would
unassisted maintain the channel there or
not. The experiment had not been tried.
In his opinion, shoals would form at the
head Of the jetties without dredging. The
committee went into executive session at
1880, when Mr.. Robinson offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
ReS0iced That when the committee ad-
iourns to-day it adjOurns to meet in Wash
ington on the call Of the Chairman, with
the purpose Of taking such further testi-
mOny as shall be deemed necessary to
complete the investigation.
This was carried after voting down op-
position upon the part Of Mr.. Ellis, who
asked that the subcommittee be left here
until next Tuesday afternoon, to take local
testimony. The majority Of the members
Of the committee thought that the full
committee should be present during all
future examinations The evidence thus
far has developed very serious questions as
to the wisdom Of the large expenditures of
money made upon the river, and the COM
mittee Will not make any report till very
full testimony Of the investigation has
been taken.
