The whole matter is enveloped in mys-
tery. but that the man was cruelty. mur-
cerod for his money there is no DOUBT. III
- one OF those cases IN which person may
be inspected Of the crime. but as yet there
j. not sufficient evidence 10 arrest any one.
One of the boat means of clearing up the
matter would be 30 ind the check which
the robber doubtless took with him. or
course the money could not be identified:
a. no one knows even the Denomination OF
the bills. Ii Is also thought by "Max's "
friends that he kept bank account, and
should have had with him his deposit
book. bat this cannot be found. and
was doubtless carried away with his money
bad iD his pocket.

SHOT HIM NEAR THE HEART.
Diffiruity Between Two Colored Men Tn
which a Pistol Was Used.

Monday night between IL and o'clock a
fight occurred on Fifteenth street near the
Jail between two negroes-Bill Burrell and
Bill dli0s Sheephead Walker. In the course
of the row Walker drew pistol and fired
twice at Burrell. one Of the bullets hit,
ting him Just under his left breast and
penetrating the flesh. The ball narrowly
missed striking Burrell in the heart. and
had it not been for the thickness OF the
wounded mans clothing the wound would
have been much more serious.
As soon as Walker perceived that his adj
versary was hit he ran mp the street. an d
has not yet been captured.
Policeman Kerse, who happened to be in
the neighborhood, walked IN tho direction
whence the report seemed to come, and
met Burrell, and after finding that he was
shot carried him to the First police sta
ton. There Burrell swore out a warrant
for Walker.
Yesterday morning DR.. Dew. one of the
almshouse physicians, probed the wound
and removed the ball from BurrelPs breast
and he has now almost fully recovered. He
is ut the city almshouse.

Npnv successful merchants who should
be embraced in their list were either

SLIGHT RISE IN THE RIVER.
Only Two Feet at Coiumbia-No Danger of
"A freshet.

Although the rains have been very heavy
throughout the State for the past week
James RIVER has risen very little in this
vicinity, though the water is somewhat
muddy.
At Newport News yesterday there were
heavy rains. The weather at Gordonsville
and Clifton Forge was also cloudy and
rainy, but was clear and warm at Char
lottesville.
On the James-River division of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road the weather
was cloudy at Columbia and Pemberton,
but clear at Lynchburg and scottsville.
At the two frst-named points the water
was two feet higher than ordinarily and
rising slowly, but at other places 1t was re-
ported to be falling.
There seems to be no danger whatever Of
a freshet in this or any other of the large
streams in Virginia.
