Young Taylor, the murdered man, was a member
of the Bethel church, and had walked down to the
wharf at the foot of Conway street to see the
steamer Lancaster return with the school on board.
After they had landed he started for his boarding
house, at George A. Summers, No. "a Henrietta
street, and as he stepped the pavement at the
corner of Light and Henrietta streets, Thomas Ea-
ton, who was out of the buggy stopped him. and
demanded that Tavor should treat. This Taylor
refused to do, whereupon Eaton struck him. knock
ing him to the pavement. George Burke, who in
the buggy, sprung out, drew pistol, caught Tay
lor by the hair, and placing the muzzle almost to
| his head, fired. The ball entered the
back part of the head, and passed through
| into the brain. and Taylor fell to the ground
unconscious. Eaton and Burke jumped in their
buggy and started out Light street, but when
near Montgomery street it upset, when they
ran. Eaton was arrested about one hour af-
! ter the occurrence, and Captain Woods with a
number of men are engaged in searching for Burke,
| Burke and Eaton are both members of the "Tiger
| Club Taylor was from Accomac county, Va,
| where his parents reside. He was 26 years of age,
and shoemaker by trade. After he was shot, he
was carried to his boarding house, where he died in

THE FORGERY CAsE.-In yesterdays Exchange we
noticed the arrest of young man named George
Wilson on the charge of attempting to negotiate a
| forged check upon the Bank of Westminster drawn
in favor of 6. Cassafd Sons, and purporting TO
| be signed by Eekerd d Stoufer, at the bank of
! Samuel Harris Sons. From the moment of being
arrested until his committal to JAIL Wilson appeared
perfectly unconcerned. He doubt had ''lashiona-
BILE ball in readiness, after he committed
two presented themselves at the office of JUS
| tice Mckinley and rendered ball. but Wilson was
! committed on bench warrant issued at the in
stance of Deputy States Attorney Pinkney. A
| young man who was arrested some time since for
| attempting to negotiate check, being the forged
endorsement of George d Thomas Cassard, has been
| released on bail by Judge Stump, John Hinsley
being accepted as his security for the sum of $780,
striking similarity exists in the chrography
of several of the forged checks, which have
lately been presented at the banking houses
of Messrs. Josiah Lee < Co., McKim & Co.,
the Marine Bank and the Merchants Bank, which
tavors the suppositiOn that there is gang OF
forgers in this city, and of the party writes the
checks, whilst the others present them. All the
parties which have been arrested are Young men.
Wilson sapparently about twenty years of and
is said to have been conspicuous among those who

October last
THE INJUNCTIoN.--Y esterday the counsel engaged
to represent the interests of the property holders
on Baltimore street, prepared bill of Injunction to
| prevent the laying of double track of the Citv
| Railway, between Cav and Howard streets, and
| submitted the same to the consideration of Judge
| krebs, of the City Circuit Court. 1t is presumed
| it will be filed in the Clerks office this morning.
| We understood that after the bill had been pre-
pared consultation of the counsel on both sides
took place, and, to avoid ltigation,t agreed BY
the owners of the grant that the injunction should
| lay, and that they would run the track along said
| portion of the street in such a manner that the
views of the property holders would be met. 1t is
proposed to lay double tracks in the same manner
as those now being built at Baltimore street bridge
and dyerge at Gay street, either into Lombard II
! Fayette streets, and then again into Baltimore
| street at Howard or Liberty streets Such ar
agreement has, we believe, been signed by the own
ers of the grant whether the other party had sign
