Two Men Shot.

About one O'Clock this afternoon
Fisbtowu was convnlsed by difficulty
which occurred between some negroes
outraged in cutting fish. 1t seems tina:
William Mckee, who had been drink
inc became involved 10 an alteration
with Bud Washington, and the cause OF
the latter having been espoused by John
ToIiyer, Mckee drew pistol and fired
four shots at him, none of which took
effect The cutters dropped their
knives. and the attention OF nearly
everybody on the wharf was called to
the act. Toliver ran abO9rd vessel
and Mckee started to leave the wharf
He was followed by number OF persons,
white and cOlored, and the fugitive
started toward northwestern part OF the
city, brandishing his pistol and ordering
the crowd to keep away. When he reached
the intersection of PendletO1 and Wythe
streets Mckee discharged his pistol INTO
the crowd and the ball struck George
Griffin, white, in the leg, and he fell. Nc
Kee also frel at r bert Harris, col
ored, and the ball also lodged IN one OF
his legs. The negro ran and Tue re-
mainder of the crowd followed him.
Mckee kept on until he reached
the extreme western portion of the city.
The crowd of pursuers had by this time
considerably increased, and every now
and then Mckee turned and threatened
to shoot his pursuers. None seemed to
have the temerity to draw close TO him
until he had reached the new railway
embankment near the MushpOt road,
when it vas suggested that McKee's Pis,
tol was empty The crowd then closed
in on the fugitive, disarmed and assault
ed him. Officer Young was one OF the
pursuers, and he rescued Mckee
from the crowd and took him in charge
Mckee acted as a maniac on the way to
the station house aud attracted large
number of people. The officer was as
sisted by young man named Griffin.
Lieutenant Smith met Mr.. Young as he
drew near the station house and assisted
in placing Mckee 10 cell.

The medical fraternity has a great
many things to fight against. one of
the chiefest of which is to hold an
autopsy over a body when it is
thought to be necessary. In nine
cases out Of ten the family Of the de-
ceased rebels or positively refuses.
The autopsy cannot hurt the deceased
and it may. and often does do a great
deal TO help science.
At the time of Midshipman Branch 5
death the surgeons desired to hold an
autopsy, hut the family objected and
il was not done out Of respect TO their
wishes. IL now appears the court
martial has ordered the body exhumed
and an autopsy must be held. a
board sitting in court-martial can
order anything done. and its wishes
must be oheyed. In this case it is
necessary B, exhume the body Of Mid
shipman Branch ID order to properly
conduct the case. Had the family
permitted the autopsy they might have
been spared this.

Without question the Young Men S
Christian Association, speaking Of it
both as au organization of world wide
scope and locally, is capable of doing
n noble work in the moral and relig-
ious education of boys aud young
men and is doing such work. The ex-
pense involved is large, and only
through substantial aud regular con-
tribution from liberal citizens can
buildings be erected and the work
maintained. An effort to secure the
erection of Y M. @. A. building in
Annapolis some years ago failed. An
other effort in that direction is to be
made. The Capital hopes it may
