Green was leaning by tbe door It was yesterday about 12 o'clock.

I was on 17th Street corner Brophy's Alley at Mr. Rock's place yesterday in the room where the shooting took place. There were a great many in there Borne were shooting crap and some looking on. George Green and Albert Johnson were in there. Georas Green was leaning on the table on his elbow and Albert was getting ready to shoot dice.

Albert was speaking saying if any one would take a five cents from him to-day he would shoot him. Jost at this time George Green said 'Albert, go on, you wont shoot anybody, you wont shoot a louse? At that time he had the dice fixing to roll them out. He stopped and sain 'You say I wont shoot a Time he said, I wont, and reached back in his pocket behind him aa if he was going to draw a pistol. I did not eoe whether he drew a pistol or not. Then Albert reach ed back to get his, and George pulled hia pistol and fired.

I do not know how many times George fired. I went ont. Every-body was scrambling to get out. I heard mora than one shot after I got out. 1 think I henrd about or tour.

Albert had pulled ont the pistol once be? fore that morning about half an hour before the shooting. I put my finger down in between the trigger and I aaid yon aint going to shoot me for fun, are you? I think he was fooling.

I don't think he intended to use it. I don't think Albert was drunk, I know I bad seen take one drink. I did not see Albert draw a pistol when the firing took place, bnt 1 know he had one. I did not ba- a pistol. I do not know what became of Al? bs- tr pistol.

Charley Munford, the jovial colored porter was on the ground in an instant to sse what caused the trouble.

He saw a robber on the tender of tbe engine and thinking it a tramp be yelled to him to get down from there. He waa unceremoniously told to get back in the car. Another robber came up with a revolver levelled at the color? ed porter but he thinking that it wan one of the roughs iu the neighborhood knocked it aside with the remark, "Guess I wont."

16, This city was thrown into a stats of excitement and indignation last Wed? nesday morning by reading in the morn? ing papers of tbs arrest of James Norris aad the flight of his brother Alex, for grave robbing. The facts brought to light by the investigation goes to show one of the blackest crimes in history are charged to the brothers. James was elected by the Democrats as Keeper of the Cemetery laat May. Alor bas been running their undertaking business sines Jim has in office. One night last week the grove digger who resides at tbe 11 Cemetery noticed a light of several people digging at a newly made grave.

Tho old grave digger watched them and saw them place a coffin in Norris' black ma? ria. It was the casket of a woman they had buried a short time since. The corpse was left in the casket box face down with all appearances of rough treatment at ths hands of the dastard ly wretches. nremieop thtiir th when they had occasion. James who was apprehended and held in $1000 has am ped his bond and his where? abouts are unknown to the authorities.

At the emancipation Convention last night, R. N. Jonee was elected chief mar? shal of the parade on January 1st. Bobby W. Jonn a middle-weight of some repute of thia city was knocked out Saturday in one round by Jim Jack? son of New York at the Norfolk Athletic Club rooms.

A white man driving a lumber wagon having the tents of Jim Kids Wild Weet muat have thought for a few minutes that he was ont weet in the hands of Indians. It started Ilks this, a Negro had ant dumped a load of shells in the track ot the electric road, and gone back for his tailboard after driving his boree so ths other teams could pass. This man ia known to be a bully and de? manded the Net-TO to move or he would run into bim, and before he could move his horse ran into and Knocked the Ne? gro's horns and cart injuring the horse and breaking the barriers. Tbe Negro grabbed bim and proceeded in a a la Jackson lo cook his goose. He punched him right aud left, and contin? ued until he was stopped by friends.

Ooo white man ran from the crowd and said he could not stand and sse a Nigger beat a white man like that, and drew a knife and tried to cut him where? upon he muat have felt contented to sit under a cart being sent there by a bl' from lh? fist of a gallant Negro i cau-s to the rcscur. A -aros ixotsZ. white people had feathered by thi. and it looked as it a race conflict was imminent but the Negroes looked ao de? termined with their picks.anovels, rakes, etc, that the pale faces didn't show any signs of resentment. That's right, boys stand together as men, and outrages upon ns will be less frequent, and our rights will be recognised even if we do get a black eye in tho effort.
