Lee Avenue Court, Williamsburg. to-day
on a charge of attempting to kill Samuel
smith a bartender for Louis jackson. Of
North Fifth street and Bedford avenue.
Last night Birmingham went into the
saloon and suggested to Smith the ad-
visibility of setting up free drinks. Smith
did not see 1t that way. and said as much.
This angered Birmingham, who pulled a
32-calibre revolver from his pocket, re-
marking:
Il won't give you time to say your
prayers
Then he fired, but before the bullet
crossed the bar Smith had dropped to the
floor.
Birmingham gave an imitation of DR..

bottle that stood on the counter. Then
he fled out of the place. closely followed
by a crowd of men. who finally stopped

THEY ALMOST HAD A RIOT.
Exciting Contest at the Long
Island City Primaries.
Sanford Men Attempt to Take Cree
dentials by Force.

LONG ISLAND CITY, l.. l., Dec. T.
Exciting Republican primaries were held
in this city last night. The fight was be-
tween the Sanford faction and the fac
tion opposed to Mayor Sanford.
The First Ward election was carried
BY the anti-Sanfordites. Thu primaries
in the Second and Third Wards were
carried by the Republicans favorable to
Mayor Sanford.
In the Fourth Ward there was almost
a riot. A very bitter fight took place
there, two meetings being held.
The anti-Sanfordite Republicans had
two regularly appointed inspectors. while
the remaining one was with the Sanford
Republicans. The latter entirely ignored
the two inspectors who had gone over
TO the other meeting and appointed W
inspectors.
The two factions came together in the
same hall and made a bitter contest as
lar Republican faction. Amid much eX-
element the anti-Sanfordites carried the
election by a vote of 40 to 80.
A delegation of Sanford men. headed
by Alderman e. j. Knauer and Charles
II. Smith, Secretary of the Improvement
dentials and when this was refused they
undertook to take the credentials by
force. For a time 1t ooked like a gem
eral fight, but as a squad of policemen
were present a serious disturbance was
prevented.
The cause of the contest was the move
ment which has been started by the
anti-Sanford men to have n legislative
committee appointed to investigate the
public affairs of Long Island City.
