LOCAL MATTERS.

Pine street, between John Gilmore and Thomas
Collins, resulting in the death OF the latter. 1t
appears that Collins challenged Gilmore's vote
just before the polls were closed, but withdrew
the challenge. They afterwards met at Jeffries'
saloon, on Broad street, where they had a quar-
rel, and Collins struck Gilmore on the arm with
knife, but they were separated and neither
hurt. An hour or two afterwards Collins got
into quarrel with man named Fitzpatrick
on Pine street, while Gilmore was standing
near. 1t appears that Collins struck Fitzpatrick,
when Gilmore stepped between them, and draw
ing bowie-knife stabbed Collins in the left
side, just below the ribs, inficting horrible
cash. The wounded man said: "Im killed and
Gilmore done it," and expired in few seconds.
His knife was picked up near where he fell,
which it is supposed he had drawn to stab Gill
more. Gilmore and Fitzpatrick were immedi-
ately taken into custody, and committed to jail.
They will be examined tomorrow morning.
Coroner Henry held an inquest on the body of
Collins this forenoon, and the testimony we
are informed was somewhat conflicting, but the
main facts are as related above.
