AND STRANDED TOUTs
Make Raid on n Lunch Stand-Sev-
eral Petty Thefts.

The races last week were disastrous to
the small fry plungers and touts who fol-
low the races for living. The police made
it very lively for them, and as result
there are score or more OF them in the
city, penniless and desperate, who are very
anxious TO get to Chicago. Yesterday
three of the gang which has been loafing
around the fair grounds, made raid upon
lunch counter kept by Clinton Mont
gomery near the entrance of the grounds.
There were two white men and a coiored
man. One picked up an ice pick another
a club, and demanded something to eat
or some money. Mr.. Montgomery sue
ceeded in keeping the trio away while he
ed for help.
About the same time several of the gang
tried an old scheme upon the road house
OF David Fair, west OF the grounds. The
bartender was alone at the time. Two
engaged in fight outside, intended to at
tract the bartenders attention, and two
others made for the money drawer The
bartender was awake and he drove the
crowd from his place. Persons living in
the neighborhood have been annoyed by
petty thefts, and when Mr.. Montgomery
went for assistance he soon raised dele
cation OF citizens. A search was made of
the empty cars on the l.. +. & w. tracks
One or two were given a thrashing a1d
a tout known as ".~osey'' was hit with a

An Unknown Negro Sends n Ball Into
Martin Snyder's Abdomen.

Martin Snyder. employed by James Reach,
commission man, was shot in the abdomen
last evening shortly after 5 o'clock by a
colored man. The shooting was the re-
suit OF fight regarding which there are
several different stories. Lille Monroe,
white woman, living at No. 154 West
Maryland street. was present at the time.
Snyder was removed to St Vincents Hos
pital and he will recover The ball en-
tered at the left lower portion of the alb
dOmen and passed under the flesh TO the
right, lodging under the skin.
Snyder says he was walking with the
Monroe woman on Maryland street, be-
tween Capitol avenue and Mississippi
street He has been going with her for
some time. They were approached by
well-dressed colored man, who addressing
the woman, said.

Snyder took the remark as an insult and
knocked the stranger down. He arose and
the two men began fighting. The coiored
man drew revolver and fired four shots
and then ran across the street toward
the hay market. Snyder started after him,

Three ColOred Men md n White
Woman Arrested as n Result.

Patrolmen Deshong, Pope, Wallace and
Mitchell made a raid, last night, on a
room in the rear of a West Washington
street barrel house, which bears an un-
savory reputation. Three colored men and
a well-dressed white woman were arrested.
George Medley. one of the men, picked up
a Ratchet, which he raised to strike De-
shong. Wallace drew his revolver and,
leveling it at Modley's breast, made him
drop the Ratchet. Another of the men
grabbed an ak but he let go when a re-
volver was pointed at him. The woman be-
came hyster.cal when taken 10 headquarters

men and they were slated for assoc.ating
with a woman of bad reputation. Medley
had the additional charge of drawing a
deadly weapon placed against him.

How the Columbia Was Damaged.
WASHINGTON. Aug. r.-Acting secre-
tary McAdoo made public to-day the re-
port OF the Board, consisting OF Commodre
Selfridge. Constructor Bowles and Chief
Engineer Farmer, appointed to examine the
cruiser Columbia as to damages she re-
ceived when locked at Southampton. The
report confirms the cable report and the
board says that the docking was gen.
orally careless and unskillful, as shown
by entire neglect of the most necessary
precautions to secure the uniform support
of the keel of the ship. The immediate
cause OF the dents and bruises to the bot
tom plating. was that the keel blocks were
not properly aligned and. did not bear
equally, and that each block was not
squared off to give support to the fiat and
level surface OF the keel. On the contrary,
the keel blocks had been repeatedly used,
and by bar keel vessels that they were
crushed down in the center to such an ex-
tent that they showed no bearing whatever
on the fiat part of the keel and bore on
the outer edges It has not yet .been de-
cided whether a court OF inquiry shall be
ordered.
