PROBABLE MURDER.
Lieutenant Flaherty, of the Fifth District,
Shot Yesterday Afternoon.
Lieutenant Flahertj', one of the best officers of
the Philadelphia police force, was shot by a ruf
fian named James Monaghan, at Tenth and
Spruce streets, yesterday afternoon, about four
o clock. A party of young men, who are known
to residents of the Eighth ward, and feared by
many of them, made an attack upon a colored
man, and were severely beating him, when
Policeman Thompson and another officer of the
Fifth district came up and interfered, taking
into custody two of the rioters.
Their friends then attempted to rescue them,
and fearing that they would not be able tore
tain their prisoners, word was sent to Lieu
tenant Flaherty, who was at his home, on the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Locust streets.
Hurrying around to Spruce street he found that
a crowd was gathering, and that it would be
necessary to take prompt steps to get the pris
oners to the station. Seizing one of the men
who was foremost in the attempted rescue, he
was taking him out Spruce street, when he en
countered James Monaghan, who encouraged
the rioters in resisting the Lieutenant. Mona
ghan was ordered away, but instead of going
used insulting words to the oflicer. Thereupon
Lieutenant Flaherty caught hold of him, and a
struggle ensued, during which Monaghan drew
a pistol, and the oflicer got his revolver out also.
Almost instantly Monaghan placed the muzzle
of the weapon against the Lieutenant's breast,
and fired three shots in rapid succession. Two
of the balls struck a rib and passed around to
the back under the skin, causing only slight
wounds, so close together, though, as to make
but one visible wound. The third ball passed
into the body a little lower down, and pene
trated the bowels. Monaghan at once broke
away and ran down Spruce street. The Lieu
tenant, though suffering from his wounds,
fired at him as he ran, and one of the other
ofllcers also. That he was wounded was evi
dent, from the fact that blood was seen running
down the back of his neck. He, however, made
his escape, and was last seen running through
Independence Square.
The Lieutenant was assisted to his home and
Professor Gross summoned. Tbe wound in the
abdomen was pronounced to be of a very seiloas
nature. His recovery is exceedingly doubtful.
Lieutenant Flaherty is one of the most brave,
gentlemanly, and intelligent ofllcers of the city,
and thoroughly conscientious in the discharge
of his duties. That he was a terror to the
roughs of the Fifth district is well known.
The man Monaghan who shot the Lieutenant is
the one who in AuguBt, 1865, murdered James
Moore at a delegate election. The Lieutenant
married the widow of Moore, and this fact no
doubt had made bad feeling between the parties.
Monaghan also shot a man in a saloon on Ninth
street some months ago. He is a son of Harry
Monaghan, who keeps a tavern on Walnut street,
near Eighth, and is Democratic nominee for
assessor of the Eighth ward.
LATER.
This morning Lieutenant Flaherty was easier,
and the physicians and his friends are hopeful.
There are in his body three bullets, two ef
which entered at the same spot, on the left side,
and, following along a rib, lodged against the
spine. The third ball is lodged in tbe abdomen.
This is the dangerous wound. If the intestine
is cut, tbe injury will In all likelihood prove
fatal. If not, the physicians declared that the
brave Lieutenant will be up in five wiks. To
determine this important question, four or five
days will be tequlred. No effort has as yet
been made to cut out the bullets. All last night
the detectives and police were searching for the
desperado Monaghan, a villainous, blood
thirsty wretch, who long ago merited a death
on the gallows. It is to be seen now whether
justice will be meted out to this worst of all
Democratic roughs. ;
A. DENOUEMBST.
This morning the Pinkerton Detective Agency
in this city received a letter which exculpates
Seott, who has been the cause of so much ex
citement, from the murder of the banker Ilertz
ler. Iris in answer to a letter of inquiry ad
dressed to the Warden of the Joliet Prison,
Illinois, asking the date of the escape of Scott
from that institution, and runs thus:
"Thomas SooU, alias John Scott, alias Riley, Mcaped
from Joliet 1'nson on the Sloth of Ootober, lw7. We hae
a man with ths neesary pauen now on his way to Spring.
tcld, Ohio, to bring him back." .
The murder in question was committed on the
10th of October, 18U7. When Lieutenant Fla
herty, after a terrible tussle arrested Scott, on
Locust street, the evidence against him was of
the strongest nature, and was uncontradicted up
to the receipt of the surprising letter. Taking
this letter to be true, we are compelled to ex
press our astonishment thai 8cott did not indi
cate his innocence of this crime before. He lay
many months in tbe jail of the town where the
crime was committed. Wiiy did he undergo
this incarceration when, by informing his
counsel of the time of bis escape, the strongest
kind of defense an alibi might have been
proved, and he would have been released? And
what object bad he in escaping from that jail,
when upon the production of this incontro
vertible evidence he would have been acquitted?
Taking these questions into consideration, it
looks as though there is a mistake in the dates
in this answer of the Warden of Joliet PrUon.
It it irreconcilable with the facts in the casa.
Instantly Killed The Coroner has been
notified to hold an inquest in the case of An
drew Kibble, aged 25 years, who fell into tbe
bold of a vessel at Port Richmond this morning,
and was instantly killed. He resided ou Edge
mont street, above Allegheny avenue.
Kri Over. At 6-30 o'clock this morning
Patrick Keunedy, aged 28 years, and living at
No. b05 Inquirer street, was badly injured by a
coal cart running over bim on Ninth street, near
iirard avenue. He was taken to St. Joseph's
Hospital.

A New Dodge by a Fruitful II windier.
Yesterday afternoon . a swindle was neatly
perpetrated in West Philadelphia. At the corner
of Thirty-third and Market streets a merchant
does business. Bis residence is on Forty-second
street, near Klngsesslng avenue. He is a staunch
Republican, and this fact has an important
bearing In the case. Yesterday a suave swindler
called npon bis wife, when the merchant was
away, and represented to her that her husband
had assaulted a man, had been arrested and
taken before a Democratic alderman, who wag
bitterly opposed to him, and tbat unless $30
was forthcoming be would be sent to prison.
To gel this 130 the merchant had commissioned
his friend (!) tbe swindler to call npon his wife.
The lady, as may well be imagined, became
greatly excited with fear when this story was
told her, and ran np stairs to get all tbe ready
money she had, which was f 15. This she gave
to the man, and told her son, a lad, to go
with the gentleman to his aunt's on
Sansom street, who would give the
balance of the monev needed. This they did,
and the annt gave f 30. This was given to the
swindler also. The latter and the lad then pro
ceeded towards the Alderman's office. When
about half way the swindler exclaimed: "Oh
dear 1 there is an important letter In the
pocket of a coat of your father's which he told
me hung in tbe storeroom on the second floor,
and be wants it. Do you run back and get It,
and I will hasten forward and keep your father
out of prison." The lad ran back, and when he
disappeared the swindler smiled a sardonic
smile, cut through some by-streets, and that
was the last seen of him or the money. The
merchant was rather disconcerted npon return
ing from his store and hearing of the adven
ture. ; .

HILL ASP YANCEY. '
Another Account of their Personal Diffi
culty In a Secret Session of the . Rebel
Senate.
From the Columbia (Tenn.) Herald, June 18.
Among the many events of personal Interest that
transpired In the South during the late war, but few
are of a more dramatic character, or aroused a
deeper Interest among our people, than the unfortu
nate personal mmcuity which took place In the Con
federate btates Senate at Richmond, during ,1(8
secret session, between William L. Yancey, of Ala
bama, and Mr. Benjamin H. Hill, of Georgia. Several
different and conflicting versions of the affair have
been given through the Southern press, but none has
yet been published that accords with a statement we
recently derived from a gentleman who was at the
lime a Senator, and an ey e-witneas to all that trans
pired on t he occasion.
The difficulty had its origin in the heated political
contests so common In this country prior to the
breaking out of the war. It was when Yancey, with
his dazzling eloquence, was 'firing the Southern
heart," that a barbecue, attended by thousands, was
given In one of the upper counties of Georgia. It
was here that II ill and Yancey met, the one the DOld
and eloquent defender of the Union, and the other
the boasted champion of secession; and during the
debate which ensued, words were uttered which
caused an estrangement that was never afterwards
reconciled.
The two had met again In the Confederate Senate,
both doubtless smarting under the recollection of
past conflicts and entertaining no kindly feeling for
each other. It was when the cause of the South
was drooping and every patriot heart was .heavy
with despondency and gloom that Mr. Yancey, ris
ing in his place in the Senate, declared that war
could no longer be carried on with any hope or suc
cess unless many of the constitutional restraints
and embarrassments were thrown aside, and boldly
advocated a radical change In the Government, to
meet tbe demands of the public and the exigencies
of the hour.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Yancey's remarks,
Mr. Hill promptly arose to reply. The scene was
one of most Intense excitement. He deprecated the
opinion advocated by Mr. Yancey, and proceeded
with great severity to review his past political
career, m lining back to the beginning of the times
when our sectional troubles were first being agitated.
He said Mr. Yancey, not satisfied with having warred
upon and disrupted the old Union, was now crying
out against and, endeavoring to subvert and breaic
down the Confederate Government. When Mr. Hill
concluded, the excitement, already at white heat,
was Increased beyond anything ever before
witnessed during those troublesome times. Mr.
Yancey arose, and In a calm, dignified, and self
poised manner peculiarly bis own, commenced bis
reply. He described Mr, Hill as repeating slanders
that had been uttered against him for the oast
twenty years, and that all which Mr. Hill had uttered
bad been said Innumerable times before by every
third-rate politician in the country ; and ooutlnued
by saying: "Nature had designed the Senator from
Georgia as an Imitator; that he had been cast In a
die, and It was vaiu to attempt to enlarge his dimen
sions." Pallid with rage. Mr. Hill mounted to his feet,
and seizing a heavy glass luk-stand hurled It with
ail his rul.iht and power at the neaa or Air. vaucey,
which, grazing bis forehead, plowed Its way to the
skull, and passed on Its furious course, crushing a
heavy window-facing beyond. Without turning his
head, Mr. Yancey, who was at the time addressing
the Speaker, continuing his speech, deliberately re
marked, "It Is always the prerogative of cowards to
strike front the rear." Enraged still more at this
remark, Mr. 11111, gathering a cbalr, rushed upon bis
antagonist, who, heedless of the attack, was con
tinuing bis remarks as calmly as if nothing bad hap
pened, when a number of Senators Interposing, the
difficulty was ended. Mr. Yaucey's wound bled
most profusely, and a scene of the utmost confusion
prevailed.
It bas several times been stated since Mr. Yan
cey's death, that It retrulted from injuries received
In this rencontre, but such is not the fact, as ho died
from a disease that could in no way have been su
perinduced by this cause.

Indian Outrages.
Washington, June 28 The War Depart
ment bas received despatches from Camp
Apache. Arizona Territory, dated May 16, ply
ing an account of an attack by the EfsHttesaylah
band of Indians on tbe herd, killing one herder
and driving off ten horses and twelve mules.
Major Greene, commanding the post, immedi
diately mounted all the men on the few mules
and horses left, and started Lieutenant Brodie
in pursuit, and also sent Captain Fuller with
some infantry to follow up, in order to support
Brodie if possible. r -
Brodie overtook them about twelve miles
from the post in the mountains. He had a fight
and killed two Indians, but the number was too
large for his few men, for even a portion of
those he had could not keep up with him, and
he was obliged to retire. One sergeant had his
horse shot under him. Major Greene became
very uneasy about a train between the post and
Camp Goodwin, and also two wagons he had
sent to meet It In order to bring In some sup
plies that the garrison much needed. He there
fore sent Lieutenant Brodie with fifteen men, all
he could mount on mulea, to meet the train and
guard it.
As those Indians have been considered friendly,
they approach the parties without being sus
pected, hence the great danger. He knows of
no course to pursue toward them but extermi
nation, for after the kind treatment received he
does not believe thev can again bejtrusted. He
has suspended all intercourse with them. Of
the two regiments he can mount only forty men,
owing to scarcity of horses.

THE BALTIMORE TRAGEDY.
The Murder of an Insane Woman Sin
gular Statement of the Accused.
From the Ualtimore Sun, June 27. : '
The unfortunate shooting, on Friday night, of a
young girl (whose nanfo has not yet beeu ascer
tained) at a point on the Philadelphia Hill
road, near Chase's Station, has resulted In the
arrest of a young man, named Joseph League, and
live others, whose names are William Hughes, John
A hern, Benjamin Wilson, John Wheeler, anl
James Baldwin, the two latter colored. The parties
were lodged in the jail of Towsoutown to a war. some
action by the couuty authorities, and yesterdar a
reporter of the Sun visited the aceused and elicited
a statement of tbe ati'air from Joseph League and
John Ahern, which was corroborated by each of the
other parties. The parties stated that they went
In , pursuit of tbe girl, thinking that she was a
man dressed In women's clothing who had
been committing depredations in the neighbor
hood. Upon arriving in sight of the crossing
of the Philadelphia Kail road, Wilson said, "There
Is something white," it being so dark and cloudy
they could not Bee anything but a white object. At
this Juncture the supposed man commenced to
wear and abuse the party. ' Ahern stepped up to
wards her and said, "Uold on. my good lady, let us
reason tbe matter together." bhe still continued
ber abuse, calling the party every kind of offensive
names, and told them to look oat, that she was
prolog to shoot. At thia threat the part lt beoams
frightened, and League, who was stand, w on the
railroad below her, at this juncture ralseuThls gun
with the Intention or shooting over the supposed
man's bead, but Just as he did It the party, who proved
to be a woman, raised up, and two of the shot
took effect, one In her forehead and the other
below her eve, tbe other portion of the load passing
entirely above her. The party then all lert for their
homes, not supposing that any oue was Injured.
After the shooting they heard tbe woman mumbling
something, but they supposed she was still quarrel
ing with them, and paid no further attention to her
at the time. League wanted to go and see who the
party was, but tbe others being frightened, they all
went home with the Intention of returning early In
the morning, not supposing that any damage had
been done. Next morning League, Ahern, Wilson,
and Baldwin went np toward the place where the
shooting took place, and on the way up they
met a colored man named Sandy Bias, who told
them a colored woman was lying up alongside the
railroad track. Tbe party went up to where the
woman lay, and found several persons already
gathered around. An Inquest was held by Justice
Burris, the verdict of the jury being that the girl
was shot by Joseph League, who, with the other
parties above named, was committed to Jail at Tow
sontown. An effort Is being made to have the parties re
leased on ball, ana yesterday their counsel, K. R.
Boarman, Esq., tiled a petition In the Circuit Court
for Baltimore county, at Towaontown, for a writ or
habeas corpus, with a view of bringing the aooused
Into court, In order tbat witnesses may be examined,
so tbat tbe court consisting of J udges Qrason, Yel
lott, and Maynadler may determine the matter of
admitting them to bail. The court yesterday granted
tbe writ of habeas corpus, returnable to-morrow af
ternoon at 8 o'clock, when the application for ball
will be heard.

We notice a slight Improvement in the de
mand for money, both on speculative and busi
ness account, to-day, bat the change is not suill
cient to lnhuenee the rates for accommodation
either one way or the other. ' The supply of
funds is steadily diminishing, but the balances
at the banks are ample to meet all demands in
the present apathetic condition of trade. We
quote call loans at 5 per cent., with good col
lateral securities, and time accommodations at
6 per cent, for sixty days and under.
Gold Is steady and higher, the New fork sales
being quoted at 113U2, closing at the
latter.
Government bonds are In good request, and
prices show a further advance on the entire list.
The stock market was active, but prices are
lower. Sales of Lehigh gold loan at 6'JJ. la
State and city loans no sales.
Reading Railroad was In great demand, but
lower. Sales at 58 down to 57J, s. o., and ui

The Roik Island Trouble.
In reply to the recent surmise of the Buffalo Cow
vtertial Advertiser, that the recent misunderstanding
relative to Rock Island stock was brought about by
the publication or an apparently official statement
that a atock dividend of one hundred per cent. would
soon be declared, the Tribune this morning says "the
Chicago, Kock Island and Paolo Railroad la a eor
poration created originally by the laws of Illinois.
"It has received no authority from the Legislature
of Illinois to declare a stock dividend or one hun
dred per eent. or any other amount, asd the Legis
lature Is prohibited by the Constitution from grant
ing any such authority. These facts ought to be
known to the dullest Intellect in Wall street. The .
bonded debt of the Kock Island Railroad, amounting
to nine million dollars, might be converted Into
stock if the Legislature should authorize sucu a pro
ceeding. "This debt represents thejcapital actually invested
In the road, aud It would be permissible under the
constitution of Illinois to pass a law authorizing an
increase of the capital stock of the road, to stand In
place of the debt when the latter is actually ex.
tlDgulahed, but It would not be permissible to water
the stock to tke extent of one dime."

The Houston (Texas) Union says that the
Indian Raid
on Warren's wagon train, near Fort Richardson,
