A Boy sHoT.-on Saturday morning

A Boy SHoT.-On Saturday morning
a group of colored boys we're engaged
in pitching cents near the intersection
OF Royal and Pendleton streets when q
young colored mon. named Arthur
Shirley, who was celebrating Christ
mas by firing ball cartridges from
o pistol, appeared on the scene.
He discharged the weapon once, but
the ball from it did no damage. An
other report followed, when the ball
struck a colored boy named John
Lewis, about IA years old, in the head.
The ball entered at the back of the
head, on the left side, fractured the
skull and penetrated the brain. The
bullet split, one part passing into the
head, leaving an ugly wound through
which the brain oozed, and the other,
after making scalp wound. passing
OFT. Policemen Lyles and knight. who
had heard of the shooting, soon found
Shirley and locked him up, and later
Officer Atkinson discovered the pistol
where Shirley had hid it. DR.. Purvis
was called to render assistance to the
boy and he had him removed to the In
Urinary, where an examination was
made by Drs. Purvis, Snowden and
Thomas W. Gibson, and his injuries
found to be of very grave nature. Ac-
cording to the statements of some boys
who saw the shooting, It was done de-
liberately and wantonly, but Shirley
claims that after he had fired the first
time boy named Elzey struck his arm
and the pistol was accidentally dis
charged. Shirley has been arrested on
previous occasions for misdemeanors,
but this is the first time anything serious
has been urged against him. He was
given hearing by the Mayor this
morning, who deemed it best to coz
tinue the case. Lewis, it is said, can
not live.

A MURDERoUS AssAULT.-Walker
Weggington, colored, fireman on the
Southern Railway, was seriously stab
bed in the breast Saturday night, by a
negro named Lewis Darlington and but
for the prompt attention of DR.. 0 Brie n
would have died from loss of blood
Darlington has for some time been liv
ing ut the house of Matilda Poindexter,
also colored, on Wilkes street, and
when he went homo Saturday night he
found Weggington at the house. Both
men were drunk, and were soon en-
gagged in controversy, which termi-
mated in Darlington pulling out knife
and plunging the blade into the breast
of his rival. Weggington wasremoves
to his home on Fayette stree, between
King and Cameron, and q companion
hurried to the Office of Dr.. Purvis and
requested that he attend the injured
man. The messenger refused to give
the name Of the man cut, or the Cir
cumstances connected with the case,
aud tho doctor directed him to have
the injured man removed to the Infr-
mary for treatment. Subsequently,
DR.. O'Brien was called to attend Veg
giogton. The cutting was reported by
Policeman Young, and yesterday after
noon Policeman Roberts located the
wounded man, and learned the facts in
connection with the case, and later
Darlington was found by Officers Beach
end Knight and locked up. This
morning the prisoner was brought be
fore the Mayor. who, after hearing all
the testimony which could be gathered
in the matter, continued the case. Car

have often figured in the Police Court
during the past three or four years, and
much of the mans time has been
spent on the chain gang.
