Pocket Picking in London.

Pocket picking is an occupation that
admits of vast display of ingenuity.
While disclaiming any particular merit
for that country, says London paper,
it is an indisputable fact that again
England is in the van of all nations in
that her pickpockets hold their own
against all foreign competition. In
London alone over 10000 men, women
and children gain their daily bread en-
tirely by this inscriptions mode of

Newport News, Va, Aug. 21.-James w.
NieAllister, of Raleigh, was shot and in
stantly killed this afternoon by William
Begnall, a sa loon keeper of this place.
Chief of Police Harwood says that the
disputea began over sixty cents at the
bar resulting in the shooting The evil
denee at the coroners inquest was that
Begnall shot at VIM. McCabe, who was
with McAllister. HARDWOOD says this is not
so; that McCabe was not in the place
when the fatal shot was fired. He
claims that it was deliberate murder, and
says he has witnesses to prove it.
The dispute, he says, was followed by
a fight. McCabe escaped, but McAllister
was caught in corner and slain. Begnall
is.in Jail and will be given a preliminary
hearing tomorrow.
McAllister was a linotype operator on
the Morning Herald, and was very popu-
lar. Begnall runs a tough joint. 1t was
here the murder was committed. The af-
fair has created a sensation.
