which the COW stables are completely
" whitewashed," and only require, in
the opinion of the above gentlemen, a
little more space to be excellent estab-
lishments. The cows, as reported, arc
healthy, having no sores on them only
those what are produced by simple
friction when lying down, no children
have died from drinking swill milk, and
the system of stabling cows is good
generally. Mr.. Haswell dissents from
all this, and, in a minority report, at
firms his belief in most of the disgust
ing statements heretofore presented to
the public.
The case Of Henry Dwight, whose

sides concurred, Mr.. Dwight entered
into his own rccognizance in $1,000,
to appear when called upon, and was
thercupon discharged.
Between IL and IL o'clock, on
Tuesday night, a horrid murder trans
PRED in a drinking house, kept by
Terrence Handlcy, on Market street,
ncar the corner Of Tenth, st. Louis.
The name of the murdered man is
John howard, aged about twenty eight
wears, who leaves a wife and one child,
He was stabbed twice with a bowie or
dirk knife, once in the heart aud the
other time in the abdomen. The first
wound caused his death in very few
minutes.
1t appears that a number Of Irish
men assembled at the house of Hand
ley to participate in the festivities Of a
smoking party" in which privilege
each was taxed to the amount of TWEEN
ty five cents. AS usual in such kinds
of Irish c~onvocations, there was good
deal of drinking, song-singing, story
telling and fighting. The origin of
the particular difficulty which ended
in the murder of Howard, has not been
as~certained with positiveness. 1t would
seem, however, that a young man
named James Boland sang a song
which Howard criticised with some Bit
tcrncss. This gave rise to a pretty
general quarrel between the mutual
friends Of both parties. The propric-
tor then ordered them to desist or he
would call the watch, and as they con
tinued he put several out. When he
returned, Boland, John Tracy, James
Toohee and the deceased we're in a
middle room fighting. A voice was
heard, "I'm stabbed" and Handley saw
Howard fail. Handley then went for
a doctor and the persons in the room
fled. John Tracy, James Boland and
John Toohee are now under arrest for
the crime.
