The Policeman Hit.

Policeman Brady of the sixth precinct

where he was going. Charles A. Main, an
engineer, riding bicycle, came along

charge he could prefer against him was
falling to have light on his bicycle. This
he did, and the wheeIman forfeited s. col

THE DOCKERY COMMISSION.
Final Report Upon the Scope OF L,
Work.

Work.
The Dockery commission having expired
by limitation of law with the expiration Of
the Fffty-third Congress, has submitted a
final report upon the scope of its work.
The estimated annual saving effected by
the commission is S607, SOL. OF this amount
<S6O.61O is saved In the salaries of 251 clerks
who have been dropped Other changes
reported by the commission, but not acted
on by Congress, would have made nearly
as large a saving. The amount estimated
for this was $449.928 and 252 clerks would
have been dropped.
The 81, 2G4.03 spent by the commission
does not include any personal expenses
Of the commissioners. On several occa-
sions they came to the city during a re-
cess of Congress, and personally bore all
the expenses of the trip. So the total ex-
pense simply stands for the absolute nee
essary expenditure Of the commission.

heroism that was stolid and unim-

gauge Of values, not wont to esteem
the ideal at it's true worth. \

Shooting ARRAY In Barnwel1.

BARNwELL, S. c., Feb. 5.-The
town was thrown into wild excitement
this evening at 5 o'clock over one of
the biggest shooting scrapes that has
| occurred here in quite long time.
The shooting was done principally by
Charles B. Svan, the ex-constable, and
Alfred Sease, farmer. Mr.. Sease is
the only one seriously shot. The ball
entered just below his left nipple, and
the doctors are now trying to find it.
Swan is shot in the arm.
It is a thousand wonders that sew
| eral men were not killed outright.
The whole matter originated about
gambling, which had been going on
during the morning in Jake Goldberg $
shoe shop, in the rear Of Caves store.
Sease and Swan drew their pistols on
| each other in the streets after leaving
| Goldberg's store, but did not use
them. This evening Sease went to
Trial Justice Holman 8 Office to take
| out warrant for Swan. He met Swan
| in the Office and hot words were pass
ed. Judge Holman sent for Sheriff
Lancaster to arrest the men, but in
the meanwhile pistols were drawn in
the office, and Holman pushed Sease
| by the side door into the Messrs. Pat
terson & Holman s law Office. Swan
| went to the front door and both men
| met again in the hallway in the Ryan
building, just in front of Patterson &
Holman's Office. The shooting then
began and about ten shots were fired.
! One shot took effect in Mr.. W. A..
Holman finger, and one went through
his hat. One ball hit Mr.. j. 0. Pat
terson cravat, took out about an inch,
and one hit Sease and one hit Swan as
stated.
During all the shooting Capt. Ian
caster had hold of Sease and was try
ing to arrest the men. At one time
Barney McLemore had his pistol
pointed at Sease, but Lancaster yelled
to him not to shoot. The sheriff ar
rested Swan, McLemore and Diamond
| and put them all in jail, where they
are now. This will show whether
Lancaster is afraid Of his duty or not.
Messrs. Patterson and Holman were
in their private Office, and both came
near being accidentally killed in try
ing to get sease, who had drawn
pistol, out Of their Office.
This is the outcome Of the town
council allowing gambling to go OF
publicly every day and Sunday. There
is regular gambling room for whites
and blacks, and it was rumored in the
streets this evening that there would
be an indignation meeting called te
denounce the gambling. If this is
not done it is to be hoped that the
grand jury will take the matter in
hand, for there is more gambling here
than in any town in the State of its
size and the gamblers are never mo.
Tested, yet the town authorities are
fully aware of the fact.-Special tc
