INNOCENT BYSTANDER
GETS WOUND ON BACK

The vicinity of Eighth and Ohio
levee witnessed an exciting scene
about 10 o'clock last evening when
two white men, Herman Goodside
of st, Louis and C. c. Culley of Car
bondale, thinking they were to be
the victims of hold up took three
shots at Henry Mayweather. a negro
whose actions, in that that direc-
tion, they said, led Culley to take
three shots at the colored man, one
of which struck him in the left
hand
The two white men stated they
were walking up Eighth street to-
wards the levee when they saw the
negro come from the stone wall. As
he approached them. they state he
pulled out weapon of some sort and
told them to hand over their money
Culley at this juncture whipped
out his gun and commenced firing
at the negro. who, terrified. ran
swiftly down the levee yelling he
was shot. His identity at the time
was unkonwn.
One of the bullets of the three
fred narrowly grazed James Will
liams, riverman, who was walking
along Ohio street, causing a slight
flesh wound in his left side.
Negro Well Known.
Mayweather, who Is known as a
peaceful hard working negro, being
employed as a cook by Mrs. Belle
Ross, 312 Eighth street, states he
thought the two men were drunk
and when they spoke to him he
readily answered.
Then, when one of them drew {
gun, he started to run, and the hul
let's flew about him, one penetrating
his left hand
The police investigated the affaii
and arrested both Goodside and Cul
ley and Jailed them for the night
Their case will probably come uE
this morning, when charge will bc
preferred against them.
That the shooting had no more
serious aspects was remarkable fol
several persons happening along the
street at the time avoided the bul.

doorways and behind telephone
poles.

HEAT OVERCONES
TWO F|RENEN At
DWELLING FIRE
Thousands of People Gather to See
Three Thousand Dollar
Blaze.
NEGRO CHILDREN REPORTED
BURNED; CHICKENS ROASTED

Two firemen were overcome by
heat last night when fire destroyed
three dwellings and several sheds at
Sixteenth and Jefferson streets
owned by William G. Cunningham.
All were occupied by colored people.
The fire started about 1880 o'clock,
and was discovered by men working
at the NJ. & o. roundhouse. Before
the fire department could be sum-
moned the flames had spread be-
yond their control, and the fremen
could not do more than confine the
fire to the dwellings and sheds in
the row.
The flames illuminated the entire
city, the sparks flying three hundred
feet in the air and thousands of
of people thronged to the scene.
Warehouse Thought Doomed.
For a while it was thought the
Charles Cunningham Hay and Grain
warehouse was doomed, but the
iremen extinguished the flames as
fast as they started, and the dam
age to that building was slight,
Hundreds of chickens in the
oil nd ug
reported that three negro children
had burned to death in one Of the
houses, although the report could
not be confirmed
The house in which the fire start
ed was occupied by Nick Bates, q
negro. He was sitting alone in the
| front room of his house, he said
when he heard whistles blowing al
| the round house. Thinking there
was a fire in the railroad yards, ht
got un to look out Of the wiRdeR
when he noticed that the seoonC
room of his house was ablaze. Fl,
| rushed out of the building and
warned the negroes in the adjoining
houes. When he returned to save
some of his property, he was cut of
by the flames and could not enter
| the house.
Fire Department Handicapped.
| The fire department made quicl
run, and the fremen fought valiant
| ly to save the third dwelling. which
was not greatly damaged wher
they arrived, but they were handi
capped by the low pressure of water
and could not throw stream NOR,
than ten feet.
| The heat was so intense that How
ard Stovall, a fireman, began bleed
| ing at the nose and mouth. He wa
led away and received medical at
| tenIion. Robert Smith, anothet
fireman also was overcome by tht
heat. Both are out of danger.
The water tank of the NJ & q
~ailroad caught fire from nyini
sparks, but was quickly extin-
guished.
Mr.. Cunningham estimated hi
loss at about $4,000, which is part
ly covered by insurance. The los
on contents could not be learned.

DESSEz UNHURT IN
ACCIDENT TODOAT
Capital Residents Son Is on
Duty Aboard flaming, Dis
abIed at Sea. \

Assurances that the torpedo boat
Tanning. the hold of which was
partly flooded by an accident yester.
day noon, had reached the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and that none Of her crew
had suffered any injury today allayed
the fears Of Leon Z. Dessez, whose son
Ensign j. H. S. Dessez. is on duty
aboard the injured craft
Mr.. Dessez. who Is an architect, lives
with his family at 1915 Jenifer street
Chevy Chase, and a dispatch in the
morning papers to the effect that the
Tanning had been disabled, and was on
her way TO the navy yard made them
apprehensive.
The Tanning came into the Navy
Yard with her stern far below the
water line, and the crews quarters in
the after part Of the ship flooded. Mem
bers Of the crew were caught in their
hunks, and had to swim to the forward
part of the ship. The craft was put
at once In the drydock.
A telegram received by the Navy
Department from Commandant Cleaves
of the New York Navy Yard reports
the injuries to the Tanning are of a
minor character. but IL is believed
that there is a hole through the side
Of the vessel in the after trimming
tank, abreast of the propeller, which
resulted in the flooding Of the crews
quarters.
An investigation will be made to de-
termine the cause of the accident, and
a further report will be made to the

the line bounding the territory King

trality in the Turko-BaIkan war will

Advices from Sofia declare that
Thracian Christians are fleeing toward
Bulgarian territory before the advance
of Turkish troops The Ottoman troops
are advancing in three columns and re-
ports declare that one division Is
