The affair caused the greatest of excite ment among the denizens and the neighborhood was crowded with thou sands of people, it being estimated that when the man who did the shooting was brought into the station house there were over five thousand people surrounding it.
 The facts attending the affair as given by the witnesses immediately af- terWards and also the statement made by the prisoner are as follows: HenrW Flynn, 13 years old, of 199 Hamiltonn street, was in Sheridan's drug store on Grand avenue near Hamilton street about 7:30 o'clock last evening. He was waiting to have a prescription filled and was standing in the doorway of the store while the clerk was at work. Suddenly he saw some Italians, who were talking on the other side of the street, get into a quarrel and then he saw one of their number run down Grand avenue pursued by another, while the rest of the party followed on behind.
 The pursued man turned into Frank lin street on the south side and the boy left the store and ran after the men. When the pursued man reached Hence in front of the Yale mission he seemed out of breath and started to hide in back of a fence, but his pursu- CT was then upon him and grabbed him. The pursued broke the hold but his opponent grabbed him again and both fell to the walk The boy then said that while the men were both in a sort of sitting position the pursued tore his arm loose and then there was a blinding flash and a loud report of revolver.

Davin was ahead of his companion and when the men roll ed to the walk he started over to sep arate them, but when he was few feet away from them he saw the flash from the pistol and he jumped back
 When Tramontana jumped to his feet and ran, Davin pursued him and with only a few feet between them he, fol- lowed by several companions, pursued the man into St. Jaohn street to the door of 8 house near the corner and which is opposite the gas works en- trance. Into this house the man dis appeared, and although Davin tried to trip him as he did so he was unsuc- cessful.

 When the officer reached the huose he found Davin and Keane in front of it and also Joseph Sexton of Is William street and William B. Leddy of 1S1 St. John street, with others quickly ar irving.
 There is a store on the ground floor or the mousse III WHlcn ITamOnJana had taken refugs, and the officer, station ing all the young men present, except Davin, around the house as a guard, took Davin with him and rushed up the stairs, to the rooms above, and without taking time to draw his re- volver, entered the room and found the Italian hiding under bed.
