MR.. ARCHIE BROOKS SHOT.

Nero Fercrs an Altsrcstisn and then
Fires rpsn Hius-w ounds not SERIOUS.
Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l
WILLIAMSBURG, VA, October To-
Our town was thrown into a state OF
intense excitement about $50 O'Clock
this morning by the report that young
Mr. Archie Brooks had been shot by
negro man.
The report proved correct, and the
excited citizens. on hurryIng to the
scene, found that Mr.. Brs6ks, in al
alteration, had been shot at with a
double-barrelled gun and wounded in
the face and side. Mr.. Brooks, Jr., "
a prominent young Democrat. and
holds the position Of storekeeper at the
insane asylum.
Itseems that whilepsssing up the street
yesterday Mr.. Brooks was ac-osted by
negro named Tom Crump in an insult
ing manner. Upon Mr.. Brooks's stop
ping. Crump then said - Good eve
ming, Mr.. Brooks" which caused him
to overlook it at the time. Meeting
the negro again this morning, Mr..
Brooks told Crump never to address
him in a similar manner again. THIS
provoked a renewal of Crump's ohen-
siye manner and language. which finally
became so outrageous as to force
difficulty. While engaged with
Crump several negroes ran up.
and were 50 threatening III their
actions as to cause - Mr. Brooks
to draw his pistol and fire. but without
effect. The negroes, who seemed to
have guns close by. Immediately got
them and fred three times at point
blank range. wounding Ne. Brooks. a
before stated. in the face and side.
Upon examination Of the wounds the
shot were found to be No. 6. They
fortunately missed the eyes, and we're
all extracted.
The wounds, while painful. are not
dangerous. owing 10 the smallness OF
F tie shot and 10 the bad aim. Compare
lively few shot struck Mr.. Brooks. but
a Young lady and youth on the
opposite side Of the street were
wounded slightly. The fence oppo-
site received a msjority Of the shot.
F 30 white men were near Mr. Brooks
a. the time Of the shooting. His as
sailants. who were ThOma, Crump. his
son. and one Wlnfrec BraxtOn, who l.
known 10 have fired one Of the shots,
and who. although having nothing to do
with ,hc difficulty. was heard to say,
The war has betun." As soon a, %
vas ss-ertaiucd that Mr. Brook,
wounds were not as dangerous as a.
first anticipated the excitement calm q
down somewhat. The a;sa.iants were
arrested.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Fuller inquiry into the shooting a.
fair q thi, morning develops the fact
that 1r. brooks did not oraf hi, pisto.
until lie bad been clt az with knife.
The shooting was done by the elder
Cruup ard Braxton. The younger
Crump doe 10, appear 20 have been
implicated. unless II was Dr. wh9 held
gun that was thrust through the UP
per window OF. Crlmp's house. The
case will be investigated by the court
on Monday. Nj. BROOKS a, tais W.

FRANCE.

PARIS. Jan. i0.-Advices from Saigon state
transports are arriving there crowded with in
valid soldiers. II is reported that cholera and ty
phoid fever are raging among the troops in foreign
and delta. The Annamite troops near Hanoi
have revolted, They pillaged the commissariat
and killed the French guards. They then dis
persed with the intention OF joining the pirates.
PARIS, Jan. l0.-rhe scenes about the en-
trance Of the court the day OF the trial OF Ma
dame Clovis Hughes were in the highest degree
disgraceful. When the doors were opened the
most unseemly crowding and crushing
occurred. Everybody in the unman
to get inside. Visitors carried luncheon
and went prepared TO stay all day The hum OF
conversation. enlivened with frequent sallies Of
wit and outbGrsts OF laughter, pcryaded the court
room, greatly detrarting from the dignity Of the
proceedings The papers complain OF the state
Of the law, and compare it with Arkansas in
early days The revolver il coming 10 take the
place OF orderly execution OF justice. is the bur
den OF their lament. The L< S0ir expresses the
belief that France has entered upon the down
ward track. In this that journal only voices the
opinion Of many pessimistic observers Of Gallo
tendencies.
Madame Clovis Hughes refuses to pay the $500
damages assessed against her. She will appeal
TO the supreme court on the ground that IL she
was acquitted she is not compelled to pay a
eompuniary penalty.
PARIS, Jan. iO.-News Of the capture Of Ian
COON. in Tonquin, IL hourly expected. When
the town Is captured the troops will advance and
occupy the Thstkhe pass, closing the northern
entrance TO Tonquin.

Kearney and himself. He supposed
some one dropped upon Kearney's
plans in New York. Concluding
his narrative Phelan said he was
finally permitted to leave Liverpool. When
he arrived at Glasgow he found his valises
had been broken open, and searched, done
he thought, by man who introduced him
self in Edinburg as James Powers, and
whom Phelan believed was British detec
tive who had Swallowed him from New York
and endeavored to get into his confidence.
Kearney. had to lay very low, but Phelan
succeeded finally in getting him off to Eng
land by Disgusting himself as Kearney, and
throwing the detectives off the track.
'What, asked the reporter was Kearney's
object in attempting to blow up the stea-
mer!n
',Oh, just to get up some excitement, and
scare England little" was the reply.
The captain also described the mechanism
of the deadly battery. The machine
is simple but works with fatal
precision. 1t consists of a reservoir of
acid which dips upon tube enveloped in
sheets of tissue paper. 1t takes minute for
the acid to eat through each sheet of paper.
In this case 1870 sheets were wrapped around
the tube. When the last sheet is eaten
through the acid turns down the tube, and
upon the percussion cap beneath and then
there is an explosion. The machineis noise
less and almost infallble in its working ter
rible injury. Speaking of himself the cap
taid said he was dynamiter out and out, be-
longs to the Irish national society and was
obedient TO their call, having participated in
many of their plans for terrorizing the Eng
fish government. He determined to return
to Liverpool and save the queen, in order to
protect the lives of hundreds of people who
would sail on the next voyage, many of these
his own countrymen-men, women and
children going to join friends in America.
