He had been stop it at the Bingham house, in Philadelphi. ut bad left there just before the arrival of Messrs. McDevitt and Cook. He was taken to the detective office im that c'ty and requested to write bastily what was dictated tohim.

Great excitement was eansed in South Wash- ington about 4 o'clock last evening by the re- port that a myn had been shot and killed on 34 street. Un applying at the first precinct sta- tion-bouse soon afterwards, it was ascertained by a STAR reporter that the parties to the atfair were two colored men named William A. Fortune and Jeseph Smallwood. It appears Bhat the two men meton Sd street, between Maine and Maryland avenues, in the region known to residents as “‘iiell’s Detight,” when an altereation arose about the division of some plonder, which both claimed. and Smallwood ficked up a brickbat and hurled it at Fortane, ut he dodging it, the missile struck a small col- Ored girl and knocked her senseless. Fortane Db ing exasperated, drew 4 emali revolver and Gixcharged it at Smallwood, the ball taking effect in his right side, just below the ribs. The shooter immediately ran off in a southerly di- rection, and was soon out of sight behind some shanties. Smallwood called for help, and son Officer Westphal appeared on the ground, and taking a — Hance at the w: found the ball was still in it di d tue sufferer where to go for surgical assistance. The officer then started to find Fortune, and after running about from place to place for an hour or more, was obliged to return without him to the sta- tion. The crowd tn the neighborhood where the shooting occurred soon became very great, and ting exeited and qucrrelsome, officers on beat had to disperse it. The child was not seriously hurt, but Smallwood’s wound is thonght to be dangerous. Fortune was arrested at bis own house jast night, and justifies the shooting on the ground of self-defence. Small- wood bas su in keeping out of the way to dodge the warrant for assault on the child ¥ ne was brought before Judge Snell to~ y and committed, ‘To0 bonds, for a hearing. “ —_-——— DecrEms oF Drvonce—Yesterday, Jadge ‘Wyiie, inthe Equity Court, made a decree of in default of divorce in the case of Jobn im, agt.
