MYSTERIOUS SHooTING.-At a late
hour last night several pistol shots
were heard near the intersection OF
Duke and Payne streets, and Officers
Sherwood and Howson, who were IN
the neighborhood, repaired thlther.
They encountered two men who were
running and stopped them, but they
turned out to be two well-known citi-
zens who said they were running to es-
cape being shot. The officers then pro-
ceeded to the lot near the Washington
Southern round house, where the pis-
tol shots were supposed to have ema-
mated and found colored man who
acted suspiciously and told contradlc-
tory stories concerning himself. He
was placed under arrest, after which
he became insolent and threatened to
sue the city for the shock to his dignity
occasioned by being compelled to ac-
company the officers. This morning
he said he was from Lynchburg and
that General Baggerly was his name.
The general was held for 8 further ex-
animation.

ANOTHER CoNFEsSIoN.-The colored
man. David Thompson, who was con-
yicted recently in this city for partici-
nation in the Blouse robbery in COM
pany with Joe Jones an6 James Cole
man. makes statements duplicating
Billy Williams with operations here.
Thompson was taken away to the pen
itentiary yesterday to serve sentence
of eight years, and told Lieut. Smith,
who had him in charge, that Williams
was captain OF the gang in this city.
Because Williams had confessed he,
too, would "peach." Thompson said
that several robberies had been plan
ned in and around Alexandria, among
which was one to break into the store
of Ahern g. Bro. the same night that
John Clark's place was robbed in
Georgetown. This plan failed, Thomp-
son saws, because Williams did not ap-
pear to lead the gang, which was to
have been composed of Jim Wells, of
Jackson City; Eddy Desmond, and a
man named jackson. Thompson says
he afterwards saw Williams, who gave
him 50. Thompson says also that
Mr.. BraXton Smiths store and MIR. u.
Nm. Ramsay's store, as well as the
residence OF Mr.. Charles King, on St.
Asaph street. and that of Capt. 7. b.
Hooe, on Washington street, and the
ticket office Of the Washington South
ern Railway Company, were to be
burglarized.

Upon being told it was against the rules

fore some ladies. Mr.. Price undertook
