PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l6-p. m.
About O'Clock last evening, large crowd was
assembled in front of the Mount Pleasant Hotel,
committed in the house few minutes previously.
II appears from the evidence adduced on the coro-
ner's inquest, that Louis Rod and Charlotte Leve-
ring employed in the culinary department of
the house, and between and O'Clock on Satur-
day evening alteration took place between
them in the kitchen, during which no very choice
language was used. Charlotte became much ex-
asperated and told Louis if he repeated his asser-
tons she would run a knife into him. Louis then
barred his breast and dared her 10 do it. Charlotte,
overcome with fit of passion, seized carving
knife-the blade of which a foot long-and
plunged il into his breast just below the heart, in
fiicting terrible wound. The unfortunate man
never spoke after receiving the blow, and died in
five minutes afterwards.
The woman was arrested and placed in the Gus
tody of the Mayor.
The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict in accord
ance with the facts
I The deceased was about twenty one years of age,
and had always borne good chsracter-but fell a
victim 70 an improper passion.
The prisoner is rather prepossessing German
woman about twenty one years.
