WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov, 0.-An
aaray occurred last night in a low negro
saloon in disreputable section Of the
city known as "Hell's Bottom" which
resulted In tho death OF two men and
the probable mortal wounding ola third.
The trouble originated over mispn-
derstandiug between two young negro
roughs named George Bush aud Osborne
Basy, who had rough aud tumble
fight few days ago, In which the for
mer was badly beaten. Last night while
Bazy was in n negro restaurant, at the
corner OF Eleventh and Q streets he was
told that u man outside wanted to SEQ
him for q few minutes. He swAggered
uut, and reaching the sidewalk WIS con-
fronted by Bush, who hissed at him,
"You did me up the other night aud
l'm going TO kill you now" at the same
time drawing revolver aud opening
fire on BaSy, who was unarmed, Bush
irud four shots, two oi which took
effect on DaEy, one In the right lung and
the other IN tue right shoulder Police
man A. N. Crippen heard thp friug and
rushed to the scene. Bush saw him
coming and ran into a house In the
neigh6orhood. Tie officer followed
him closely and cornered him in
q small room on the second floor.
The negro stood at bay In tho corner
with his revolver 10 his hand, and when
the officer appeared at the doorway dis
charged 1t point blank at him. The
ball struck the officer in tho right breast
aud knocked him down. He still re-

The frat shot struck the negro in the
right breast and the second took effect
little lower down. lhe two men then
grappled aud the officer dropped his re-
Volver, The negro still held onto his
aud desperate struggle ensued for It's
possession. The officer grasped the
weapon, but failed to wrest it from the
negro's grasp. During the melee a lamp
was overturned aud tho revolver was
discharged, the load entering the officers
brain, killing him almost instantly. The
negro jumped over his body and run
ming short distance down the hallway
fell from exhaustion. The two negroes
were taken 10 the Freedmen's hospital,
where Bush died at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. His first victim, Bazy, is In
very serious condition and Is not ex-
pected TO survive his wounds.

Tnp defeat OF Governor Foraker Is
"a much surprise to Democrats as to
Repnblicans. Democrats claimed Camp

well informed among them regardedthat

been defeated because he was the
Justly recognized embodiment OF
Republican policy in the State, because
some Of his appointments were distaste-
iul, because Of jealousy in his oyn party,
because Of thu undccountable inisappre'
hension that all that has been said
against third term Of the Presidency
applies with equal force, or any force, to
a third term for q Governor Of Ohio.
The liquor question cost Foraker more
than all other causes combined.

Foraker because lie endorses the policy
Of the Republican party in Ohio on the
liquor question, and because he has
thrown the whole weight Of bis in.

Foraker is too shrowda man not to have
fOreseen that his unqualified support oi
the Sunday law would cost him dearly
in Cincinnati; but like the brave man
and conscientious officer that he Is, be
planted himself squarely on that ground
He may have thought to find compen'
sation among those in favor Of the en-
iorcement Of the law. This Compensa'

Foraker 1was the shining mark
for all elements Of opposition, and he
goes down because the clements Of his

The Mayor said that the evidence was
