REPORTED SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A
rumor was in circulation On the streets
to-day that Capt. Enoch Davis, of the
sloop B. II. Lambert, a few days
since shot and killed one negro and
wounded another at Smiths Creek,
near the mouth of the river. The re-
port is that while the sloop was ~
ing at anchor in the creek the two ne
groes came from the shore for the pur-
pose Of ro5bing the vessel. AS they
came on board Capt. Davis came
on deck when one of the negroes struck
and knocked him down the cabin steps.
Capt. Davis then seized his pistol and
fired, killing one of the negroes and
wounding the other. The rumor could
not be authenticated. Capt. Davis is a
resident of this city and has been impo-
tent in his legs from birth.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, Sept 20.-Taders at the
Stock Exchange were less bullish this morn
ing and in the first 10 minutes of business
prices declined 1, to per cent. The opera
tors who had extended their lines yesterday
afternoon when the street was flooded with
advices from Washington predicting the early
passage by the Senate of the silver repeal bill
Iightened their loads this morning and as a
result prices yielded Il to IA per cent all
along the line. The pressure to sell was not
pronounced, however, and liquidations were
confined entirely to the professional element.
At II a. IN. the market was dull and steady.

MALICIOUS SHooTING.-About nine
O'Clock last night while Mrs. Charles
Zimmerman accompanied by her SIS
tiers, Misses Mary and Anna Hohen-
stein, her brother Charles ard Mr..
Mercer Hansborough was on her way
to her home short distance up Sh l.
ter'S Hill road, the party, it is alleged,
when this side of Hootfrs run were ac-
costed by George Chichester and
Thomas Cleveland. Chichester mar
:ed cousin of the Hohensteins but
his wife, who has long since found mar
rage failure with him at least) is now
living with her people in Alexandria
county Cleveland is Cbichester's
brother-in-law The two men were in
= buggy at the time, and upon coming
up with the party alighted, and, ac-
cording to Mrs Ximmerman's testi.
mony, Chichester drew a pistol and
fired several shots at the party at short
range. The women were thrown into
paro1yisms OF fright at this procedure,
and their escorts, being unarmed, could
do nothing. Chichester and Cleveland
chen got in their fix and drove short
distance up the hill, where they stop
ped public conveyance which was be-
ing driven by an Alexandria colcred
man known as Uncle Jordan" Chi
GheSter'S wife, his baby, and his
"iles sister were in the vehicle,
on their way TO their homes in the
county. Chichester undertook to be-
come passenger, but the driver pro-
tested, and with some difficulty kept
him cut ofthe carriage, and whipping
up his horses drove away from the two
men. The Jehu had not heightened
the distance between himself and his
interceptors q square before one of the
two men began firing at the team, the
gait of which was Immediately acceler-
ated until it was safely out of the
range Of the pistol This morning Mrs
and Mrs. Chichester went
to police headquarters and swore out q
warrant against their assailants. 4
few weeks ago Mrs. Chichester had he,
husband arrested for drunkenness, non
and cruelty. He was bounC
over to keep the peace for one year il
the sum of 5000, his sister becoming hi:
surety. A short time ago Mr.. FREQ
Hohenstein asserted that Chicheste,
shot at him in the public highway. To
day Mrs. Zimmerman started to go t
her home and was on her way up Shu
ter's Hill when she saw Chichester and
Cleveland seated on fence with pts
tolls. The two men ordered her TO &C
back. telling her she would not be al
lowed 10 60 over the hill. Mrs. Zim
norman reported the matter at the po
lice station and every effort is being
made TO capture the men. Cleveland
and Chichester left their wagon in the
city last night and knowing the police
are after them sent boy for it thi:
morning. They are in hiding some
when near the city and will either bt
arrested or compelled to leave this sec
ton of country.
