an arm and Jermiah O’Brien was shot
in an ankle.
The committee was just about to bo
called to order to canvass the returns
of Jast Tuesday’s primary at which the
trouble was threatened, A fight start
ed in the room adjoining the one in
the committee was to meet,
ftoai a cause not determined some
time after the shooting.
The scuffling occasioned by the fight
hardly had started when a fusttllade
of shots were heard from the commit
t«* room. This continued for sover.%1
as the committeemcK and
'.spectators made a frantic rush to get
out.
No Arrests Made.
Policemen were stationed in the
committee room and the one adjoin
ing but no arrests had been made two
hours after the shooting and as fat
as known at that hour no one seemed
to know who fired the first shot or
who kept it up.
The setting for the affair was dra
V.atic. At the intersection of King
hnd George streets, where is situated
the iiuiMing in which the committee
was to meet, a large crowd had gath
ered, The demeanor of those jfath-
ered there had led the chief of police
to place a large number of officers
there. At the time of the shooting,

orderly.

first news of the decision of the com
mittee which would settle whether
Tristam T. Hyde would be mayor or
whether John P, Grace had been elect

nineteen votes, but the Grace faction
had contested more than 100 votes.

Cohen was making his way to a win

Officers in the room took charge of
the twenty remaining.
Within a short time sJter the shoot

GERMANS MAKE HARD ATTACKS
They Have Taken Some of the Posi

Driven; and are Still at it—Show
ers of Steel and Burning Oil Used
in the OfenBe.
liondon, Oct. 15.—in a genetal ar
tillery action fought on a front of
nearly 300 miles the Germans today
struck heavily at the allied lines in
Artois, Champagne and the Vosges.
They drove the French from a posi
tion east of Aubeivs in Champagne,
where the French guns seriously
menaced the German lines and recap
tured the summit of Hartman’s Wiel-
erkopf in the Vosges. These gains
are admitted by Paiis,
They claim to have driven tho
British from the positions they lost
yesterday south of the Vermallen-
Huiluch road, but Sir John French,
commanding the British forces, ofBci-
ally refutes this report. According to
the British field marshall his forces
still hold all the positions gained
south of the LaBasse canal on Wed
nesday and the British position in the
Hohenzoilern redoubt has been great
ly improved.
Paris reports the recapture of sev
eral sections of trench in Lorraine
after six djys of fighting for the lost
positions.
The fury of the Getman artillery
bombardment r«ach.sd its greatest,
heights in the mountain tops of the
Vosges. Concentia.ting their strength
on a front of three miles from a point
just south of Hartmann and the height'
of Sudelkohf, the German batteries
prepared the way for the final assault
with a storm of shells of every
calibre, heavy bombs and glowing
streams of burning oil which were
projected toward the French trenjhes.
Reply by the French batteriec pre
vented an advance to the Frenob lines
except o» the slopes of Hartmasn,
where the Germans by an impetuous
assault charged thie peak and carried
the trenches defending k. Two Fi-encb
observation stations between the »u*n-
mit and the Wuenheim ro«d also fell
jitto German hands. ^
