A RATTLING FIGHT.
OFFICERS AND NEGROES HAVE A
PISTOL PLAY.
One Negro Killed, Two Escaped
One officer Seriously Wounded and
Another With Four Bullet Holes
in His Dry Goods.

CHICAGO, April 30.-In attempt.
ing to arrest three colored men at
Spring and State street last night,
Officer Golden shot and killed one
Of them instantly, but not until he
had been twice wounded, and
officer McDermOtt had narrowly
escaped a mortal wound. The
wound was the result Of fusilade
between the colored men, each Of
whom were arrested, and the affair
aroused the neighborhood and Gre
ated great excitement for time.
The two colored men, who seemed to
be under the influence Of liquor es-
capped. The officers had been told to
look out for three colored men, who
were suspected Of having commi,
ted several petty thefts in the "
cinity recently. When the police
man net the men and attempted
to arrest them, one drew a revolver
and placing the muzzle against
McDermotts abdomen fired. The
bullet only tore hole through tn;
officers coat, setting it on fire, and
slightly grazing the flesh. At this
McDermott drew his revolver. Two
of the men then ran across the
street, and drawing their revolvers
began firing at the office 5, who re-
turned the fire. Officer Golden,
however, hung to the third man
for a few moments, who after a
short struggle, broke away and
joined his companions. Officer
Golden then drew his revolver and
followed them, firing as he ran.
The man he was pursuing returned
the fire and several shots were eX-
changed. Officer Golden's aim was
good however and the man fell to
the pavement with bullet in his
head. He died instantly. Officer
McDermott ran towards the spot
where the colored man had fallen
and found that officer Golden had
been twice wounded and had fallen
across the body of the dead Negro.
Other policemen came up and a
search was made for the other two
Negroes but they could not be
found. Officer Golden was taken
to drug store where an examina-
ton showed that one bullet had
passed clear through the right
thigh and that another had i'm
bedded itselfin the calfof the leg.
The wounds were bandaged and
the officer taken to the hospital. 1t
is not thought that his injuries
will prove fatal, unless blood
poisoning should set in. Officer
McDermott's coat was perforated
four times by bullets and it is
scarcely credible that he escaped
without serious injury. The
name Of the dead Negro is not
known.

OSCAR WILDE's TRIAL.

LONDON, April 30.-The Old
Bailey was less crowded today
wh9n court opened for what was
expected to be the last day of the
trial Of Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor on charges Of serious mis-
demeanors.
Counsel for the crown, when
proceedings opened, withdrew their
charges of conspiracy against
Wilde, saying he desired to avoid
any difficulty i'll placing the pri-
soners in the witness stand.
Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for
the accused, demanded a verdict OF
not guilty on this count, but the
Judge refused to allow it. Sir Ed
ward Clarke, in opening his speech
for the defence, denounced the con-
duct OF a large section Of the press,
saying it was such as to prejudice
the case Of his client and imperil
the interests Of justice. Wilde was
then placed upon the stand and
absolutely denied that there
was a word Of truth in the
charges of indecency brought
against him. He answered
the questions Of Sir Edward
Clarke in subdued tones. During
the examination of the prisoner by
his counsel it was apparent that
there was remarkable change in
the character Of those attending
the trial. 1t is evident that many
Of Wilde's friends were present in
court and the general atmosphere
Of the place was less hostile to the
prisoner than upon previous &C.
casions. Sir Edward Clarke, who
will be remembered as having
withdrawn in the Queensbury
case, where he acted as counsel for
Wilde in the prosecution of the
Marquis on a charge of libel, which
charge fell to the ground, made
a mastery speech today. In
it he claimed that Wilde
was a martyr, and that he
accepted the verdict OF not guilty
in the Queensbury case only be-
cause it was evident it could not be
properly tried then, but it could
now be determined on the proper
issue according to counsel. When
Wilde was placed in the dock it
was evident that he had been we'll
coached for the occasion. He
seemed to have lost all the swag-
ger which Disguised all who
witnessed it during the former
trial. G. F. Gill, on behalf
of the prosecution, began his cross
examination on the same lines as
that of Carson, who defended the
Marquis of Queensbu1y against
the charge Of libel.
