Tbo news ol the killing of Wes Dozier Taesdsy night spread rapidly over the and by daylight there was a large f*tnrd of negroes around the city hall dis using the affair aud trying to get a Smpseo/tke dead man as he lay upon the floor in the barracks. When the murder was reported at police headquarters the night before, Lieutenant h,,He Lieutenant Wood and oflicers Gol- ,' prank Mosely, Ktmbrew and Martin vent at once to Henry Singleton's bouse, •here the difficulty occurred. After nr- riring there they wero informed that Wallace Hazewooi was the murderer, and no time was lost in Instituting a thorough search for him. Officers Mosely, Kimbrew mil Martin were dispatched to Tybce, vhere It was known Wallace had a sweet heart, but they failed to find 1dm. Officer Martin then heard of another sweet heart, living near St. Paul’s church, sad taking officer Gus Thomas started out there. Tney met officer Gold in and the three soon surrounded tho house. On looking through the window W»Uace was seen sitting on the side of the JLi ratting on his shoes. The inmates were made to open the door, and Wallaco STS Without difficulty. *Our reporter visited him at the barracks and found him to be quite o young fallow. He is shout eighteen years old, and has clerked and porterwl for several grocery stores in the city. He thbum* the guitar at petrly ill of the negro social gatherings, >nd his companions say he was never hap lyunless he had his pistol and guitar with Talking through the bars of the dnn- «on hesaid: "t was sitting down in the rtiom in Mr. Henry Singleton's house # talking to a young lady. Another young lady tried to pass and Dozier gut up and moved his chair, and was awful polite. I said io him: 'If that gal wasn’t a coon (mulatto) yon wouldn't try to break your neck about her.' This seemed to make him mad, but 1 was only joking with him, because I said to him: 'Nobody but a black digger would notice anything like that, nohow.’ He said he wanted to see me outside a minute, and I went with him. When we got out on the sidewalk we had a few words, and then he tried to hit me and CUT AT ME several times. Then he pulled out his pis tol and I tried to get it out of Ids baud. Finally, to keep him from killing me, 1 turned the pistol and it was fired. I claim that it was •done in self-defense. We had no hard feelingshgainst each other, nor was I well acqtuuated with him.” Coroner Ifodoett summoned the follow, inzjury: K. J. Fitzgibbon, O. P. Heath, Ed. Smith, Charles Collier. W. A.

Moncure D. Conway Has a Talk With the Fallen chief. Moncure D. Conway writes from Co* lombo, Ceylon, to the Commercial Gazette of an interview with Arab!, the exiled Ta- •ba. He found him seated on a veranda —a large, fine-looking man, dsessed in pure white garments of French cut. “He offered me,” says Mr. Conway, “cigar ettes, lit one himself, and, the interpreter having taken his st«nd before us, our con* versation began without any remark about the beautiful weather, which deserved mention. He told me that he had received many friend- y expressions from England and Torn America.

I and Charlie Holloway went after a doctor. Bessley also went, aud we all three came back; heard several say Wallace Haze* wood did the shooting. I saw Dozier coming in the gate, and about tho same time I saw Bessley. Bessley would have had time to walk across the street from the time I heard the shot to the time I saw him. Ev erybody said there was a tight, and then there was a rush. There was nothing in Dozier’s hands when I saw him. He threw both hands against the house to hold him self up; don t remember who was there except Holloway. XO TREK THERE.

Ail I know about it is, I hadn’t got to the gate,where both men, Wes Dozier and Wal lace ilazewood, were talking; couldn't un derstand what they were saying, though they were cursing. Kept on saying, "Do zier, come out to the gatec." As soon as they got oat of the gate I heard one of them say, “You ." Don't know which one it was. They then clinched and scuffled about live or six sec onds. 1 beard Ilazewood say, ‘‘For God's take don't kill me.” Alter that In about 3 seconds the pistol fired. Couldn't tell who fired it. They were both together and scuttling alongside the fence. 1 run and got behind a tree. After they totaled about three mlnutea, one run one way and the other in another direction, liozicr kept staggering around and making a whizzing noise, as If something n os in Ills tiimat. Saw no pistol or knife. Knew Haiewood by his light coat. Saw no pistol at any time. He started to run after Wallace did, heard some one else running. Don’t know Beasley’s voice; know Henry Singleton's voice; don't know who told him to run; the voice came from the gate; Charlie Holloway had not got out of the house at tho time. Saw Bessley and Wallace run ning and heard another person, but don't know who it was. A great crowd rushed to the door, and Charlie and Gus had hold of him; they said he was dead then; he breathed so hard I tamed him on lilsside. I told Singleton to go to the city hall and report. Didn't ace Frank Whitfield; did not examine Dozier’s pock ets. I went In the house about fire min utes before Lieutenant Wylie came up. DU. J. X. BLACKSBXAE, SWORE. In'myopinion the wound in the neck of Do- tier was produced by a pistol or gun shot. I think the ball penetrated the wind-pipe and struck the spinal column. This was sufficient to produco death. I don't think Dozier could have done much scuffling af ter being shot in such a manner. He could have lived ten minutes after the shooting. It is possible that the wound could have been made by himself, by tabling the pistol. The ball went straight in. CHARLES HOLLA WAY, SWOXX. I was in thelionse when the pistol was fired. I got up and went out. I was in the front roo inwhere the two men luid been.but bean! no words between them. When I got out I saw Dozier and Wallace together. Never saw any pistol. I rushed back in the house. When I first came out they were clinched, but I did not know who they were. They wero parted when I went out the second time. One was gone, and Dozier was staggering at the lower part of the fence. I helped him in side the gate. Robert Jackson helped me. He went In after a light while I held him. I laid him down. Know Bessley .but did not see him. I saw several people standing around. It was dark and I was so excited I could not recognize them, tysver heard anyone say ‘better run away.' When Goa Terrell and myself wero at the doctor's we met Bessley. Saw no knife. Knew Yvai lace well, but knew Dozier only by sight Did not see Wallace Tunning oflV Don’t know whether Robt. Jackson got there first or not. I think we gotthere together, Don’t know who it was holloed for Wal lace to run away—didn't recognize the voice. When the two men were tussling they were on the edge of the sidewalk. Dozier did not try to go up tho steps or throw up his hands against the house, Some oue said 'LOOK OCT DOWN Till HZ' to be because the Knglish people love-1 freedom, and whatever some may have thought, there were many who believed that the Egyptians with whom he had been associated were suffering under an oppression.

Then my head began to swim, and I was sick at mr stom ach. I was overcome by an indescribable horror of the deed I had done. I trembled all over, and felt as faint and weak as a kitten. It was with the greatest difficulty that I managed to get into camp. There they laughed at me, but it was weeks be fore my nervous system recovered from COMMERCIAL.

Did not see Ilazewood after tho shooting. Ills guitar was in tho house; I law It there. I went on home then. Knew no one who was there. The pistol was fired on the outside of the fence, a little below the gate. Their bands were held down, and they seemed to be trying to break loose ami run. Never saw anv one but Ilazewood and Dozier outalde. The door waa shut. They both came out ol the house together. One laid "Come out here" but don't know which one. Ono said " ——, and then tlu-y clinched. Don't know what time It was. I know It was after 10 o'clock when I left Judge Sira- nsona'i yard.

Heard Lucinda Speer say something about It. Did not see Frank Whitfield in the house. The shot was fired somewhere close to 12 o'clock on Tuesdayniglit. Didn't know that Wallaco usually carries a pistol. Have seen him with a pocket-knife. When I was holding the wounded man I saw nothing of a knife. He had nothing in his hands. tur viedict. The jury returned tho following verdict "We, the jury, find that thedeceaied, Wes Doxier, came to his death from a gunshot wound from a pistol at the hands of Wal lace Ilazewood, and, in our opinion, it was murder.” Coroner Hodnett then awore out a war rant for Wallace and lie waa taken from the barracks and lodged in jail. He takei final results of tho movemefits in and around Egypt. 1 In another connection he said: ‘Well, yes, the idea has sometimes entered m.v mind of a visit to England, but now all that rests on another will than mine.’ "I observed particularly." said Mr. Con way, "that when Arab! Pasha spoke of England it was without any bitterness nor was there any reservation of ill will discoverable In his look or manner. At the close of our conversation the famous Pasha expressed a lively interest in Amer ica. He considered the war which had ended in tho liberation of 4J)00,000 negroes as an ideal event in the century and said, ‘Alai, there are millions who are still sieves. There are, as I said, 12,000,000 in Egypt bound to the will of one man. But it cannot remain so. I sit here this veranda from week to week and study Englishdayhyday. That it my main occupation. What will the English do in Egypt?’ This last question was not put exactly to me. but to the universe. It was a slowly put problem. I took this moment to rise. Again his form towered before me, with Us grand proportions. I left Arab! with the conviction that he is a very able man. a genuine patriot, the real representative of a people, but also with my first suspicion that religious enthu siasm, not to say fanaticism, may have had more to do with his agitation in Egypt than his English sympathizers have sup posed." darr Davis and tha Maryland Una.

The first handle made for this new Hovel was a fancy one of ebony, with various projections and indentations.! making it very weak in certain places; ao at the last moment a new handle had to be made, lest the Speaker should break the ebony one the hrsttlmehe used it with -emphasis He is not a man, however, given to acting on violent impulses or easily provoked to anger on any occasion.I Two of those, however, whom he has I within a few weeks called to take his place I fn tlie chair have broken the stong handle of the new gavel.
