Crime seems to be quite Is much of an
sn;dsmie % es the cholera or the yellow fever,
md n returns lust MS regularly to almost
every community, and in as many different
shepes as disease. After season Of com.
narefiye Quiet, our cityswas startled short
time since by a homicide, and before the
commotion has ceased and the surface of So
ciety has become calm again, another and |
another was committed, until the details Of |
a new tragedy are now expected in every
edition Of ne tiurnal press.
An immense excitement was created in |
the vicinity Of Fifth and McAllister-streets, |
last evening. between Eve and six o'clock, |
| by the Killing Of man named Jacob Wag-,
ner. The news spread allovcr the city with |
wonderful rapidity, and our journalistic |
| duty induced US TO visit the scene Of the
| tragedy. i5 ~ ii
Upon arriving we found large crowd of
| persons, Of all ages and sexes, standing in
| ofoups.' some relating, while others were
\ listening to, stories as contradictory aud
varied as itsis possible to conceive. The
| deceased lay in o room, to. which he had
/ been carried Immediately after having re-
/ ceived the wounds that caused his death, his
face pallid from the loss Of blood, his eyes
| closed and his limbs rigid, while half dozen
| wounds In different parts OF his body, with
red and eloquent lips, seemed to plead for
that mercy he now would never be able to
| appreciate, and which, even If found, would
be yalueless. ls i.d.i'i..tA 90 q tii -f
Coroner Carey had summoned q jury, and
was in the act of holding an inquest, but
after the examination Of two or three wit
nesses, the Investigation was continued until
this morning at eight o'clock. From this
testimony, and what we were able to gather
from the friends ofthe parties all Of whom
seemed half insane we learned the follow
ing facts:
Jacob Wager, the deceased, is foreman at
the omnibus stables of Boyle & Springer on
McAllister. near Fifth. John McIlvain, the
: alleged homicide. until few weeks ago, was
In his employ: but having some trouble was
d;scbarged This caused some harsh feelings
between tbe parties. and q verbal dificulty
occurred a few days since; but they had no
hostile encounter until Yesterday, when thew
accidentally met at the grocery of F. J.
