A Young man ctWhldes another, ana gets shot anu

Union was throw into the greatest excitement last
evening, BY fenpunter between two worthy and well
knoHn young gcItlemen which resulted III the killing
of one bY the otter
Thomas H. Uhhorn and Eugene H. Levy were the
parties both about q years of age the former clerk
and the latter the cashier the house of Messrs Haw
kins & Norwood No. 4S Carondeet street, near the
corner Of Union Thomas H. Uhhorn, the deceased
was nephew Of the Hunt family; Eugene II. Levy Is
the sonof the noeand exchange broker, Mr. j. L. Levy
Both the younggentlemen being well known and
so respecaby connected
than the usual excitement appertaining to such
meetings
The best information we could gather was this: The
young men were along time friends working together
as they did, in he same house. A few days since
Uhlhorn found himself accused of embezzing the
amount Of bill Which he had been sent to collect but
which bill he and lis friends asserted was never collect
ed. Day before yesterday he had an interview with
Levy about this aud denounced him asa lying jew
son of b-hn levy says he accepted the insult not
resentng it then ard there because the partners IN the
house absent and because if he had made fight he
might have sacrificed his employers interest," by being
arrested and taken from irresponsible position as per
pro Levy further says that he intended calling upon
Uhlhorn for satisfaction yesterday morning, but was
dissuaded from it by the advice OF his father and other
friends
Yesterday morning Uhlhorn was dismissed from his
position clerk in the houaby of the proprieors;
as his frendss4y, for his abse of Levy and as Levy
SAYS, for dishonesty.
Uhlhornthen determined ohaye satisfaction ofLevy.
He got of his friends topromise to meet bim in the
afternoon, and go with hin to Hawkins 4 Norwood's
Office to call Levy out and have settlement with him.
The two friends promised one was punctual to the
appointment and went with Jhlhorn to the Office; the
other friend arriving at herndezvous ten minutes too
late mssedit ALL The fried who punctualto the
appointment and who wentwith Uhhorn to the office,
was young man named Salnr.
1t was about 81 o'clock when they visited the office.
As Levy says, young man unknown to him came to
him in the countingro0m whilst he bas busy at his
books and informed him tat Mr.. Uhlhorn was outside
awaiting an interview with him. He declined going
OUT but his visitor insistedupon it, and taking him by
the arm informing him thd if he refused the interview
he would be denounced as coward. Upon this he
went out.
Though not in the iatt of carrying weapons, as he
saws, he had armed himself with revolver and bad it
in his pantaloons pocket believing that Uhlhorn would
probably insult him agdn, and maybe attack him upon
sight.
Ashe stepped out onthe banquette, Uhlhon drew a
white eowhide and wcntt him. Levy says he received
two violent cuts tie head; the has swelling on
his to show for e of the cuts he tried to catch
the cowhide and take t away from Uhlhorn, but not
succeeding in this he dew his revOIycrand fired twice
The first shot missed tie bsecond shot he thought took
eHect UnlDOfn feI, an he then went back into the
Office, where in few minutes, he visited by officer
Hays who invited him go to the lookup an invita-
tion which he accepted willingly.
We have no turtherbartculars of the reneounter
except from Mr. Donoan, gentleman who upon hear
ing Leyy shots acpss the street and found Uhihorn
lying the banquee alf raised his face covered with
blood and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in his hand which he
was apparently trying to fire at somebody Fearing
that he would shoot wd and hurt somebody, be took
the pistol out ef his hd and left it at the office of the
chief of police, with th above statement
Coon after talling, Ulhorn picked up and carried
into the back Office Of Perkins & Co. Hawkins Nor
woods office being up tars in the same buding) and
laid out on cotton sanplng table, where he breathed
his last in about quater of an hour
Coroner Beach, being notified, soon arrived and en-
panellcd jury. The postmortem examination was
held by Dr. Chastant, assisted by Dr. Hunt, uncle of
the deceased. The faa bullet had entered the right
check aboat anuch telov the outer corner of the eye
and, was shown by the probing, passed under the
eye and upward obiqely through the brain to the skull
at point above and pack of the left ear The bullet
did not come out nor wasi found, the probing show
ing satisfactorily that the Teroraton Of the brain was
the cause of death The fist knucke of the ring finger
of the right hand and the second knuckle of the little
