First Separate Battalion, colored, D. c. N.
c. last night shortly after Il o'clock and
narrowly escaped being shot. An investi-
cation to learn the Identity of the man
who fired the shot was begun last night
at the o Street armory. and will be con-
tinued today.
Lieutenant Covering was in command Of
the battalion. which was returning from
the sham battle at the Long Bridge. The
troops marched northward along Ninth

ton of the street. Just above II Street,
with the battalion In company front, car
No. %, in charge of Motorman Thomas and
Conductor Henry Young, came alors and
passed through the line of the command.
One OF the guardsmen was slightly hurt,
it is said and Immediately a brother
soldier raised his rife. pointed it at the
motorman, and fired. Thomas called on the
police for assistance. 1t was impossible
TO identity the culprit and the battalion

Republicans in Louisiana to Name
Congressional Tickets.
NEW ORLEANS, June 27.-The Louis
lana Republicans are so much encouraged
by the action OF the Philadelphia Conven-
tion in recognizing the National Republic
car faction of the party of Louisiana that
they have determined to make vigorous
fight in every Congressional district. Steps
have been taken to organize the Union
League Club, which will become the CEN
tire OF the Republican political organiza-
ton.
In the First. Second. Third, and Sixth
districts straightout Republican candidates
Will be named. In the Fourth district the
Republicans will support an Independent
candidate and in the Fifth they will give
their support to Judge A. A. Gunby,
Popuiist who has co-operated with the
Republicans in politics for several years.
It is probable that the poll tax provision
in regard to the suffrage will cut down the
total vote in the First and Second districts
to i,C90 each, so that 2.C0t votes will elect
Congressman. The Republicans are much
encouraged over this fact.
