Shooting Affair Near s,eubenvilIe

We copy the following particulars
from the Pittsburg Chronicle in relation
to the shooting affray near Steuben-
vile:
At about five o'clock on Wednesday
evening q shooting affair occurred about
five miles beyond Steubenyille, which
may result fatally. 1t seems that Will
liam Brew, foreman of Division No. ID,
on the P. C. & C. R. r., discharged a
workman named Michael Vaughn some
time ago on account of his ugly temper.
Since then Vaughn has shown strong
hatred towards his former "boss," and
at the time mentioned, while Brew's
men were repairing the track near
Gould's station, and while the five
o'clock train was approaching, Vaughn,
armed with double barrelled shot gun,
which he had loaded with slugs, crept
ND behind Brew and shot him in the
left side, the whole charge of slugs TAX
ing effect and producing wound which
it is thought may prove fatal. The
noise of the train prevented the report
of the gun being heard, and Vaughn
had escaped before the fact of the shoot
ing became known. Only few nights
ago Mr.. Brew's house was burned, We
are informed, and his family barely es-
capped with their lives. 1t is supposed
that Vaughn set fire to the building.

lnhumuu Treatment.

On Saturday night last, between IL
and II o'clock, Linn Hicks returned to
his home on Market street, few doors
north of the wire bridge, in state of
intoxication and commenced abusing
aud beating his wife i'll horrible man
ner. Her screams attracted the atten-
ton of officer Harrison to the spot, who
lust arrived in time to rescue her from
the hands of the brute, who at that time
had drawn her out into the street and
was kicking her in the side and about the
head in an unmerciful manner. She
was so badly bruised that she had to be
assisted back to the house and put to
bed. While this scene was being enact
ed it seems that Hicks wife's brother,
known by the name of skinny" Miller,
was present. and witnessed the whole
affair without offering word of remon-
utrance to this treatment. He must be
a wretch lost to all sense of honor and
decency, and thinks no more of rela-
tionship than a dog. Hicks is mid
dle-aged man and has been married for
sometime, and seems to be one Of that
class of characters who take delight
in abusing those whom they should most
respect and shield from danger. Officer
Harrison took him to the lookup for
the consideration of the Police Court
