An Affair on the Common Which the
Authorities Don't Know About.
1t is believed that a duel was fought by
moonlight in the commons near Meldrim's
Row in the sout hern extension, between
midnight and o'clock yesterday morning.
A close carriage drove out Anderson to
Burroughs south on Burroughs to First
street and turning to the left halted on the
commons Shortly after, two shots were
heard in quick succession, and in two or
three INMATES the vehicle was driven
rapidly into the city. Within half an hour
it returned to the scene of the shooting, and

third trip and was again hurriedly driven
to the city.

ness Of the episode, but none of the people
10 the vicinity knew anything about it. A
woman's piercing scream was heard imme-
diately after the shots were fired, but the
whole affair seems TO be shrouded in mys-

participants in the shooting were wounded
and that sire second trip of the vehicle
was to take surgeon to the ground, and

believed that the colored people residing in

TROUBLE ON A TRAIN.
An Ugly Passenger Almost Stampedes
Thunderbolt Car.


A half-drunken negro created quite a
STAN pede in the rear coach of the $50
Thunderbolt train on its way to the city
last night. The negro tried TO board the
crowded platform at Thunderbolt, and
white man, whose name
was not learned, accidentally
tramped on the colored mans hand. He
says the man kicked him. Finally the inc
brlate boarded the platform under way, at
a narrow place in the roadway passing
through Capt. Doyle's place, and it looked
as If he would be crushed against the fence,
but he managed to get into the car, and
providing through it made an assault upon
the gentleman with a knife, cutting a
cash in his coat, but fortunately the blade
did not reach the flesh. The gentleman was
unarmed and before the negro could follow
up his first blow he WAS hustled out of the

he refused absolutely to make the arrest.
The gentleman had jumped off the train
when 1t was slowing up, and had hurried
forward and appealed to the policeman in
ample time TO have caught his assailant,
who had terrorized the passengers in the
coach, nlcst of whom were ladies' The
Forward coaches were crowded so densey
that Conductor Barbee could not get to the
rear of the train, or he would have made

was crowded to such degree that the con-
