DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO KILL a MAN IN
BROADWAY.
Late on Sunday night, James ONeil, a Fourth
Ward politician, whom the Fifth Waid police char
scterize as a notorious desperado, stepped up to Mr.
George Middletons Union Street Sweeping Ma
chine corner Of Broadway and Franklin street, and
drawing pistol, threatened to shoot William Hon
the driver if be did not instantly descend from bis
,est and leave. Hof declined to do so, whereupon
ONei, as is alleged, snapped revolver at him but
fortunately the cap failed to explode, and no damage
was done. At that momen. officers Ogden aud
Bixby, Of the Fifth Precinct, arrived en- the spot
and arrested O'Neil, who was held for examination
before Justice Bowling. Subsequently application
was made to Deputy Superintendent Carpenter, and
he detailed several men to protect those In charge
Of the machine from further violence. The motive
for O'Neils desperate conduct did not appear, FUR
tLer than he expressed r decided opposition 70 all
street sweeping machines.
THE ROBBERY oP MEssRs. BROOKS BROTHERS,
THEIR LOSS HEAyY-STOLEN GOODS RE-
COVERED.
Patrick Coleman, an Irish laborsr living a. No. 30
OAK street. was arrested by Sergeant lockwood, OF
the Fourth Precinct, charged with having In IN
possession dy.made coats, children's clothing
mems drawers &C., valued at about s75; this prop
erty was found concealed between the beds in Cole
mans apartments, and an agent of the Messr'
Brooks Brothers subsequently identified the goods
I Ill frov m AZ
sucking Of their store in Cherry street last Tuesday
ght. Tho accused, who could not satisfactorily
account fer bis possession Of the property as taken
before Justice Bowling and committed to the Tombs
for trial without bail An important feature in this
care is the fact that Coleman was heard to say pre-
vioas TO the riot that the store OF Brooks Brothers
was 10 be forced open and sacked. and ihat he
should be one Of tbs frst to do It, Should this
Irove to be true, 1t shows conciusIvey
that he knew there to be not, the chief object
Of which was 10 rob and plumber. We learn from
tie very best authority that the l1ss of Aessrs
Brooks Brothers, in ready-made clothing, cloths
&c, at the sacking OF their store was between $780,
90 and 100000. Tie Fourth Ward Police have
s.nce recovered about 900 worth Of goods stolen
from the above named firm, and have fair prospect
occuTants Of teuemen, houses on noticing the ap
proaeh Of the police, have tossed large quantities oil
stolen goods from upper windows 70 the sidewalk, so
that, if search should follow, the property would
no, be found in their possession. Much Of the prop
erty doubtless has been sold 10 receivers for tribe,
and in ell probability, large quantities have been
sent 20 receivers and suc,obees of other ciiies for
DISPOSAL
