THE DEADLY PISTOL.

\ TERRIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT TRAGEDY.
For the past three or four years, one
Jerry Clemens, formerly of Wheeling, has
been occupying the residence at Burley's,
or what was formerly known rs Patter-
sons Mills, on the National Road, four
miles West OF Bridgeport. 1t has been a
| place where the loose females and tough
characters of Wheeling and the river
( front delighted to hold high carnival at
their pleasure. and especially has it been
a resort for such degraded creatures on
Sabbath day, where from under the re-
straint of the law, and ont of the sight
of decent people, they could worship at
the shrine of BacchuS and indulge in un-
restrained debauchery. Last Sunday
evening about forty Of the class of per
SONS described gathered at this place, and
indulged in dancing and drinking until
to them the universe seemed to be on big
spree In the party were Gertie Williams
and Bertha Hamilton, frail females of
Wheeling, who appeared to be under the
escort of George Arbaugh and Frank
SOuderS, of Martins Ferry This crowd
had drank their share of amber fluid, and
were quite hilarious, and disposed to be
"bosseS" of the jambOree. During the
evening two Welsh miners named COrne-
lius and Samuel Waters, from Wheeling
Creek, peaceably disposed young men,
came to the place to get some beer, and
in the round of pleasure tarried long.
About midnight, as the crowd were about
to disperSe, the Wheeling women, tOgeth-
er with their male attaches and a man
named Fisher, with whom some of the
party were having wrangle, were in the
yard in front of the house, and the Wat
tiers brothers on the veranda. The woman
Williams remarked to her companions,
watch me do up that d-n son of
b-hr and drawing revolver fired at
Fisher, who made quick time in getting
away, and escaped unhurt. The Waters
concluded it was about time for them to
get out of the crowd, but had to pass
through the yard where the war party
was stationed, and in doing so the woman
fired two shots at Cornelius, both shots
taking effect plOwing a furrOw in
his scalp, and the other inflicting a flesh
wound in the side At the last shot the
wounded man fell, and his brother Samuel
ran and stopped down to pick him up,
when third shot was fired, the ball en-
tering Samuel's back an inch to the right
of the spinal column, and between the
18th and 18th ribs, and passing in an up
ward course, and from the effects of
which he died ON Tuesday afternoon.
After the atfray the Wheeling party
got into their hack and hastened back to
the city, where the women were arrested
and afterward delivered to the Bridgeport
authorities. The men escaped to Mar
tins Ferry, and were arrested there.
A preliminary hearing will be had be-
fore Squire Robert T. Howell to-day.
