THE WEST HoBOKEN STABBING CAsE.-The two
men who were stabbed on sunday evening were still
alive last evening" though in Madden's case it Is
little short OF miracle. With all the care that
can be bestowed on him q portion OF the
intestines protrudes constantly. Inflammation had
commenced to set in last evening, and this Will
decide the poor fellows fate efIectually. He con-
versed freely, and what s very strange, felt no pain
at any time. He craved frequently for something to
tea and this was furnished him regularly. AS usual
with men whose nervous organism has been vi0-
ienuy deraaged his thirst Is almost intolerabie'
and although in the prime of manhood
he evidently made up his mind that the
Henry Canavan, who lies in bed adjoining that OF
Madden, seemed to be recuperating though the
wound penetrated the breast to the depth OF five
lnches. Tne f0rennger OF man when inserted would
not reach the full depth OF the cavity. Is possible
that he may survive. He is stout young fellow Of
strong constitution to hold out under such wound
He admits that they were all more or less
under the influence Of liquor but is most reluctant
ascribes the enmity OF Roche to feeling OF jealousy
because the men did not board with Roche In pre-
ference to other parties. Canayan was stupeted
after being wounded that he did not speak word
till about midnight. The third man, Kavanagh, who
was stabbed IN the hip slightly but was so excited
under the influence OF liquor that he did not feel
the injury received medical attendance yesterday
He had most fortunate escape. Roche the alleged
pcrpelratOT, was consigned TO the county jail 10
ponder over the consequences OF the terrible crime
laid to his charge and respond to the call of justice
in few days. Callous, reckless and almost defiant
without any show OF .remorse as he was
on Sunday night, he had cooled down con-
sderably yesterday and was in far more thought
ful mood. He began to realize his position and
manfesteG some embarrassment when Informed
that two hEii6n lives for which he must stand to ac
count were changing on the bounty OF an hourr
In such a position even desperate men have been
known to give way, but Roche struggled apparently
against every symptom OF weakness which he felt
perhaps might be construed into something akin TO
cOwardice. 1t Is almost always so when the human
heart becomes impervious to emotion and the sens
tive element has "sighed farewel' that remorse
and despair enter in and dwell there.
