HAD AN UNPLEAsANTNEss. - Detective
Arlington heard a police whistle in the
neighborhood of Third and L streets shortly
after u o'clock yesterday morning, and,
fastening to that locality, found that it had
been blown by Mrs Donovan, who stated
that two men had taken possession OF one of
the rooms of her lodging-house without su-
thority. The officer went up stairs to make
! inquiry and found the men coming down.
| One OF them claimed that another man had
given him the key of the room and told him
to &c there. Arlington concluded that prob
ably one had got the other to go to the apart
ment with the intention of robbing him, and
started with the suspected party for the
ststion-house. Suddenly the prisoner, who
Mitchell, declared himself fighter. told the
officer he could whip him in no time, and
proceeded to show his ability. Arlington
was 1nutfied up in heavy overcost, rain
| falling at tie time, and was taken at great
disadvantage. He and his prisoner fought
and rolled all over the sidewalk, until finally
Arlington got his coat unbuttoned and was
better able to defend himself. He finally
made Mitchell succumb, and took him to the
lookup. The beauty of the officers face is
somewhat marred, and he feels badly about
it, having had great hopes of what might
happen leap year, but he smiles all over as he
says, "You just ought to see the other fell
low
How IT OccURRED.-T accident to
Charles Harvey, son of George H. Harvey.
to which reference was made yesterday, &C.
Cured about three miles from Floriu while
he and another boy were hunting. They
were driving about in a cart, shooting lsrks,
etc, and Harvey's gun slipped or accidentally
struck against something in the cart and was
discharged. The load passed through his left
arm above the elbow, but fortunately did
not fracture the bone, nor cut the artery.
The muzzle of the .gun was 30 close to the
arm that his coat was set on fire. The other
boy removed the coat and then went for as
sistance. Parties who soon arrived bound up
the wound, which was bleeding very freely,
and the sufferer was taken to house near by,
where he was kindly cared for. His father
received notice of the accident, and imme-
diately went to him from the city, accom-
panied by DR.. Deuel.. The boy was brought
here on yesterday afternoons train.
