About two weeks ago there was an at
tempted murder on board a vessel lying
at Ocracoke, n. c. William Davis. the
captain OF a large barge plying the North
Carolina waters. had some trouble with
negro deck-hand named James Williams,
during which the latter threw the Captain
overheard and attempted 10 drown him
by throwing large Jumps Of coal at him.
While cllnging TO the sides of the barge
Captain Davis told Williams that the
barge was sinking, and advised him to
signal a nearby vessel. This frightened
the woud-be murderer and he did as the
Captain had told him.
As soon as assistance arrived Captain
Davis ordered Williams's arrest. This
was done, but the prisoner afterwards es-
capped. Some time afterwards Captain
Davis was in Norfolk, and while at the
corner OF Cove and FeEchurch streets he
was set upon again by Davis and bru-
tally assaulted. The Captain reported the
fact to the police, and a warrant was
sworn out for Willlams's arrest. This az
ternoon Officer Oliver saw the negro ana
started to arrest him. Williams ran and
the officer gave chase. I'm which officer
Swanson soon joined. The negro ran into
the stable corner Of Union and Church
streets and assembled 10 the loft, where
he lay down on the floor and pulled a
