IMPERsoNATING A DEPUTY.-James

was arrested about Z o'clock yesterday
morning. at Twelfth street and Penn
sylvania avenue, Washington, for i'm
personating a deputy sheriff at Jack

during the night. 1t seems that
Grady was in Harry Corners place at
Jackson City, when Arthur McGregor,
Of Washington, who had been driven
ever by William Gordon, cabman,
entered the place, followed by Gordon.
Grady first stole Gordon's cab badge
from him, and then, after McGregor
had lost 81 and his watch at the gamb-
ling tables, declared that he was Vir-
ginia deputy sheriff, and went through
McGregor's pockets. The latter had
no money left, so Grady took his cuff
buttons from him. The three men
then came to Washington in the two
cabs, and Officer Fathers arrested
Grady for fast driving. The story Of
the double hold up came out, and adj
ditional charges were made. In the
First police precinct station, Grady
fought Sergt. Acton and Officer Flath-
ers desperately. Sheriff Yeitch, of the
county, has sent deputy to Washing
ton to bring Grady within his jurisdic-
ton for trial.

recollections of scenes and loved ones
that are no more"

MYSTERIOUS SHooTING.-A colored
man named Will Washington was shot
in the leg by Alphonso Arlington iu hi:
saloon on the northeast corner of Royal
and Oronoco streets about nine o'c'o k
last night 1t was almost impossible
this morning to find out anything con-
( corning the difficulty, an attempt hav-
ing been made to keep it dark. The
shooting occasioned considerable ex.
element aud attracted the attention of
all the neighbors, but people in the
locality, consisting of irresponsible
negroes and whites whose veracity is
equally impeachable, professed to know
no more about it than they did of what
was going on on the Congo. Shortly
before ten o'clock Washington, who had
evidently been trained to play part,
hobbled to his home, about half a
square away, after having a large-sized
bullet taken from his left leg below the
knee by DR.. Jones, and stole in bed.
This morning, his mother having dis
covered considerable blood ON the bed
clothes, became alarmed, supposingl he
had been cut in an ARRAY. To her
questions he replied that he had &C.
cidentally stuck piece of wire in his
leg. Later he managed, with the aid
ola stick, to creep to Arrington's saloon.
Upon being questioned this morning, hA
finally admitted Arlington shot him,
but asserted it was done accidentally !;
that Arlington was handling a pistol
and showing the company how such
weapons were used in the cavalry
service, when it was discharged.
Numbers ofunkempt, INDECENT darkeys
were holding up corners in the
neighborhood this morning, taking sun
baths, and upon being approached pro-
fessed utter ignorance of anything sa-
voring of disorder having occurred in
that locality during the night. One
white woman, however, a familiar face
in the Police Court, upon being ques-
toned closely, admitted there was a
disturbance, but turned her head either
to weep or to pretend to do so, and
then became as dumb as an oyster.
A white nah, who was in the
saloon at the time of the shooting, act
ed in surprised manner when told of
the difficulty. The police, however,
endeavored to get at the facts in the
case, and warrant was issued for Ar
rington's arrest. He is the possessor of
pistol of powerful calibre which has
more than once gotten him into trou-
BILE. Arlington was arrested by Officer
Belts was brought before Justice
Thompson in the Police Court this
morning. A white and colored man
who were in the saloon at the time of
the shooting testified that it was the
result of an accident, though they, the
victim and Arlington, showed no lit
tie confusion in giving their eviderc,.
1t was finally determined to continue
the case until Friday night. Mr.. Leon
ard Marbury, the Commonwealth At
torney, conducted the prosecution.

STOLEN HoRsE.-On Saturday Sandy
Alexander, colored man, living near
Mount Vernon, appeared at the station
house in this city and stated that a
four-year-old horse had been stolen
from his place. The police kept look
out for the animal, but, as they sup
posed, the thief went on to Washington
with his plumber. During the day
William Lewis, colored, visited the
horse bazaar on Louisiana avenue with
horse answering the description of
the one lost by Alexander, which he
tried to sell for SIS. Detective Helan,
who was standing near, arrested the
man on suspicion Of having stolen the
animal, which was evidentlyof a very
fine breed. Lewis stated that he got
the colt from one John Ford, at Mount
Vernon, to sell for him, but believed it
belonged to a man named Hart, at
Clifton. Lewis was held to await the
arrival of deputy sheriff from Fairfax.
