SHOT AND LIKELY TO DIE
VIGNOLA PASCAL WOUNDED BY
FANTASTIC PARADERS.

Fight Between Italians and Negroes
IN Yamacraw Results in the Wound
ing Of Two ItaHans-Centebra Leo
nardo Stabbed and His Skull Crushed
Pascal Shot in the Back-The Police
Have Lively Fight With the Rioters.
Two Italians were severely, and one
perhaps fatally, wounded in a row with a
band Of negro fantastic parsders on Orange
street, near Farm street, in Yamacraw,
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The wounded men are Centebra Leonardo
and Virgnola Pascal. the first about 50
years Of age and the second a Young man
about 81. The wounded men were carried
to DR.. r. q. Norton's Office at No. 173 South
Broad, by dozen or more friends Of their
nationality, all Of whom were greatly ex-
cited. DR.. Norton dressed the mems
wounds and they were carried back to
their homes by their friends.
Leonardo had his head laid open by
sword cut for about four inches on the
frontal bone. fracturing the skull, a cut in
the arm two inches deep, and a light cut on
his hand. The cut on his arm was very
serious, severing a very important blood
vessel and requiring legation of the radial
artery.
The young man was shot in the back, be-
tween the shoulders. The ball, 3S-caliber,
passed through the right shoulder blade,
penetrating the lung, and was extracted
from the pleural sac. The wound is very
dangerous, and DR.. Norton thinks death is
likely to result from Inflammation of the
lung. Although Leonardos skull is tract
ured, he will very likely recover.
A number of Italians live in a house on
Orange street, near the corner of Farm
According to their story the negro paraders,
dressed in fantastic costumes and most of
them drunk, were coming down the street
on the sidewalk, conducting themselves
very uproariously and jumping upon
porches and Stops. When they came
where the Italians live one Of them struck a
child standing on the porch. The old man.
Leonardo, ihterfered, when the negroes
rushed upon him, one of them firing at him
with pistol. Leonardo's friends rushed to
his assistance and the fight became general.
One of the leaders of the parade had
sword, with which he struck the old man
over the head. 1t was small-sized riot.
Mounted Officer Brantley and Policeman
Frank Smith came to the scene and en-
deavored to apprehend the principals, who
eluded them by lodging through and
under houses. The crowd of
negroes that gathered aided in the es-
cape Of the offenders by standing in the way
of the officers and blocking up the streets
in front of them. The police will endeavor
to SECURE the participants in the affair.

Primrose & West Make Christmas
Theater Goers Merry.
Christmas at the theater was big day
for Manager johnson and Primrose &
Vests MINISTRIES. Tho theater was packed
at the matinee. Standing room was at a
premium before the curtain went up. Last
night there was hardly standing room even.
The show was all that has been said
of it. It is an old-time minstrel
exhibition. The jokes we're clever, the hits
mostly local, the dancing not too boisterous,
the singing excellent, and the novelties
good. The company is an unusually strong
one throughout. The singing in the first
part was especially good. Davis showed a
beautiful tenor voice; Janson has good
range and combines with it striking facial
expressions; Dockstader. of course every
body knows him. The sweetest voice was
that of Fred Oakland in THAT is Love"
" est and Primrose were up to their usual
standard. One of the best exhibitions Of
gymnastics and contortion was that of Cain
and Lorenzo Their feats were marvellous.
The march of the Imperial" combined
a splendid drill with the novelty of the in
PRODUCTION of electric lights.
