stand at No. 719 East Broad street, was
convicted of a misdemeanor in the Supe-
rier Court yesterday on the charge of sell
ing cigarettes to minors and was sentenced
TO pay fine OF $50 or spend six months
on the chain-gang.
Three boys, two white and one colored,
were witnesses against Papadeas, and
identified him as the man from whom they
had bought cigarettes. Papadeas did not
have the cash handy, and so went 10 jail.
He did not remain there long, however.
Four of the Greek colony showed up at
the court house during the afternoon and
paid over to the clerk the amount of the
fine and costs, the total being SS1.55. They
wanted to know if there was any dis
count for cash, but were informed that
the courts allowed no discount. The
Greeks claimed to be highly indignant at
the conviction of Papadeas
THAT Dago money" said the man with
the cash to Clerk Carr. American man

The fifteenth annual shoot of the Forest

ROW ON THE wHARvEs.
Capt. Haddon, of the santee, Cut by
John sanders.

Capt. P. II. Haddon of the steamer San
tee was quite seriously cut by John San
ders colored, yesterday afternoon. The
cut extends from the point of the neck 10
the middle of the breast and. while pain
full, is not considered at all dangerous.
Sanders claimed that he was employed
on the Santee from May % to June 6 and
that his wages had not been paid. He
complained 10 Commissioner Lewis and
the commissioner gave him a summons in
admiralty against the vessel, which, as
there was no deputy marshal in the city.
the negro was asked to serve. He walk
ed down to the boat and handed 1t TO
Capt. Haddon. Just here the stories be-
gin TO diverge: The negro says that the
captain began striking at him with a
scantling almost rs soon as he had hand
ed the summons to him and that he re-
taiiated with a knife.
Capt. HaddonRays chat the negro was
impudent and cursed and abused him. and
that he then started TO use the scantling
not before. At any rate Capt Haddon
caught Sanders and held him until the po-
lice could be notified and the wagon sent
TO the wharf when Sanders was placed
in il and carried to the station house. A
charge of assault with intent to murder
is placed against him.

M'HUGH's MARROW ESCAPE.
Negro Whom He Attempted to Ar
rest Struck at Him With an AK.

Dan Leak, colored, was turned over to
the Superior Court yesterday morning by
the Recorder for assault with intent TO
murder Policeman McHugh with an ak.
Only by the fraction of an inch did the
officer escape serious injury and possibly
death at the hands of the enraged darkey.
In the early hours of the morning, Pa
trolman Behrman, walking his beat along
the river front, heard three reports of a
rifle and went down the river to investi-
gate. He found Leak on the deck of the
tug Forest City and upon being asked If
he had heard the shots and knew by
whom they were fired The negro said that
they were fired by himself. He also in
formed the policeman that if ne came any
nearer ne would shoot again, and present.
ed the rifle in a manner that made Behr-
man think he would carry out his pur-
pose.
Covered as he was, by the rifle in the
hands of Leak there was nothing for the
policeman to do but TO retire and await
more favorable opportunity to make the
arrest. He telephoned the sergeant on
duty and was instructed TO wait until the
coming of the man from the next relief
who would relieve him, and that the two
should then go down and arrest the des-
perate and determined negro. Policeman
McHugh came UP and with Behrman
started over towards the Forest City.
When the negro saw them coming ne
picked up an ak, and as they attempted
to make the arrest struck viciously at
McHugh. The policeman threw up his
arm and stopped part of the force of the
blow, but he was unable to ward it OIL
completely, and the blade of the ak cut
the skin of his forehead and made an ugly
CASH With the aid of their clubs, the
policemen arrested Leak and sent him
to the station house, where he was sent
