TRIED MURDER AND SUICIDE
Negro Cook Fires on His Questioner
and Tries to Hang HInsHeIf.

A big burly colofed man was in the dock of
the First Criminal Court this morning, charged
with. shooting Thomas Corrigan, of No, 2D
Railroad avenue. The prisoner was Alexander
Boyd, a cook on the schooner Richard. lying
at the foo. of Morgan street dock. Boyd went
ashore about six O'Clock yesterday evening to
get a pint of beer. When he was returning
q gang of hoodlums held him up and took
the beer away from him Boyd went on board
armed with a 3S-calibre revolver. He fired
Corrigan OF No. 259 Railroad avenue in the
groin.
The police were sent for and Boyd was found
on the schooner. A crowd had collected on
the pier and Boyd was threatened with lynch
ing. He and Corrigan and two witnesses were
taken up to the police station in the patrol
wagon. Boyd was locked up and Corrigan
vas taken TO the City Hospital. After he was
locked up Boyd attempted to hang himself in
the cell. A policeman was stationed In front
OF the cell door TO prevent a repetition of the
attempt.
This morning Corrigan said that he went to
the schooner to seek work, when BOYD. who
Was near the dock. knocked him down and in
self-defence he struck the negro. The prisoner
then, he said, fired a shot at him, which took
effect in the groin. The doctor had removed
the bullet and said the wound would heal
in a day or two.
Boyd was defended by James Donelan. the
w. F. Howe Of the police court. The wit
nesses OF the shooting who had been detained
told such conflicting stories that the Court adj
1ourned the case until Tuesday.

The New Jersey A. c. has made ar
engagements to accommodate the crowds
that are expected to visit the club grounds

Wefers, who has been entered in the 300
yards special race, has been running
some exceptionally fast trials of late and

record for the distance. although 1t is
to be regretted that he viii be forced to
take in W turns on the New Jersey
track in order to cover the 300 yards. In
the form Wefers is in at present, however,
it is believed he will do 81 seconds for
the distance. Several others cranks have
entered in this race, but none are fast
enough to make Wefers extend himself
in order to win. Charles. j. fitzpatrick,
the peerless half mile runner and holder
of the worlds record, is the main attrac-
ton for the special half mile race and
that he will win is admitted by all, but it
is expected that young Nipple, of the
New York A. c., who is his nearest COM
-petitor, will make him extend himself on
Monday. The two mile special scratch
event promises to be a clinking race from
the crack of the pistol. c.. H. Bean, the
present three mile champion; E. Hjert-
berg, the present Metropolitan champion;
Lane Cooper, of the New York A. c., and
A. L. Wright, Boston's crack distance
runner. have entered and VIII compete.
1t is expected In this race that the Ameri-
can record for two miles will be shatter-
ed. Besides these athletic features there
will be baseball. football and bicycle races
The sport will begin at twelve o'clock
with an exciting game of Association foot
ball between the C%entreyille Athletic Club
and the Empires, rival football teams Of
Bayonne, for the championship. AT one
o'clock the rival Gaelic teams, the VIII
liam NJ. Barry Association of this city
the Sarsfeld Of Nizabethport will
settle the championship Of New Jersey.
The Barry nave long held the honor, but
the Sarsfelds are anxious TO take It away
from them. At two o'clock the athletic
events will begin, after which a game of
baseball will be played between the New
Jersey A. C. and Bayonne Field Club for
