FIRES THRICE AT NEGRO.
Officer Thompson Intercepts Viola
tors of Mapp Law Short Distance
East of ROsemOnt.

Between nine and ten O'clock last
night State detectives who are in
this city and neighborhood for the
purpose of aiding the police in en-
forcing the prohibition law of the
state had a thrilling experience with
twelve or fifteen negroes, believed to
he transporting liquor into the state
in the Potomac railroad yards. The
negroes were armed and exchanged
shots with the detectives when they
ATTEMPTED to arrest them. The
negroes scampered after the exchange
Of shots. and about ten o'clock OFF,
Ger Thompson saw two having liquor
in their possession passing south a
short distance from the Baggett re-
sidence on upper King street. The
officer approached them. when one
ran off. He took hold Of the other
negro. who "bucked" and finally sue
;eeded in tearing himself away from
the officer. When the negro became
tree he reached for his pistol, but
for some reason, did not discharge it..
Officer Thompson had previously
warned him if he attempted to es-
,ape he would use his pistol. and at
this juncture the officer discharged
his pistol twice at the darkey. and
supposed that he had winged him.
The darkey, however, kept running
when the officer fired the third time
at him.
A resident of Shooters Hill says
he saw a negro shortly after ten
o'clock last night proceeding up the
road with difficulty. He was limp
ing as though he had been injured in
one of his legs.
it is supposed that the negro who
drew the pistol had expended his
cartridges while engaged in the duel
at the Potomac Yards, and for this
reason did not discharge it at the
officer.

Rome, Aug. 31.-Reports are reach-

ecclesiastical sources in Austria that
the food shortage throughout the en-
n;re has become so serious that the
people are causing the utmost con-
Germ.
The intellectual depression among
school children due to insutficlent
food is rendering it practically use
less for them to continue their stud
les, and it is probable the schoois
will have to be closed soon.
AS an instance Of. the high prices
for foodstuffs, it is said, sack OF
flour costs $40 and pound OF pork
50. FAT is very scarce, and less tnar
a pound in fifteen days is allowed
for each person. Owing to the lack
Of starch. nuns are authorized to
wear soft headdresses and hoods.
The remedies so far adopted have
proved useless. All food available
is served for the army and a genera

Milton, Pa, Aug. 31.-When an en-
ragged bull attacked Daniel :Speck,
near Milton yesterday, his daughter,
Mabel, lS, an athlete, bravely sprang
over the barn-yard and grabbed the

A pet dog then made savage
