SilOtorING Avi::AXY ON 'Tor MARY IDA.
-T'hursday afterCnoon a shooting affray c
occurred on board the IBayou Sara mail d,
f packet Mary Ida while the boat was at
some point betweon Donaldsonvillo andl l
'laqnuemine, upward bound, resulting in
the wounding of the clerk, nmate and a a
colored passenger, the two first named t
slightly, the latter seriously and perhaps 1
IN fatally. The particulars of the affair as t
ras reported to us, are substantally as fol
lows: The colored man--wo have not
learned his nailo--Iboard ed the steamer
G at D)onaldsonvilleo and took dock passage
NT for Baton Rouge or Bayou Sara. After a
while lie strayed up-stairs and into the
cabin, where the clerk accosted him and
_ demanded that he either pay ca'bin fare
or return to the lower deck. The loan
retorted insolently that lie would pay
R no more than lie had done and would go
or roezain wherever lhe pleased, The
cyvee clerk thereupon atteimpted to eject the
1, '77 fellow from the cabin, \vwheln the latter
drew a revolver anld tired at the officer,
upon whonm ho inllicted t: slight flesh
wound. The mnate canle to the assistanllce
of the clerk and received similar atten
rn. tion at the hands of the belligerent pas
senger; thenou several other revolvers
were ra-wnii and some lively and indis
LKER criminate shooting ensued, and at the
close of the fusilade the colored shootist
was found to be pretty badly used up,
having sustaillned sundry seovero wounds,
the number and character of which were
EL, not known to our informant. The un
I SarA" jured man was taken asshoro at Plaque
S mine and placed in charge of the Sheriff
of berville. The injuries of the clerk
eer r: and mate of the Mary Ida wern not suf
