Outline AFFAIR AT THg NAVY YARD MAE.
kEr-Danseress Assault rita Butchers KATE
About quarter before SIX O'Clock this morning,
dificulfy took place in the Eastern Market,
near the Navy Yard, between two butchers,
Joseph Carroll and John O'Neil, jr., during
who is employed by Mr.. David Rawlings,
butcher, was At his stand In the market, when
a customer named John Kraft approached the
bench and called for porter house steak; Neil
came mp and. remarked that the piece was IN
sound, and ne lie passed, and 1t Is alleged that
Carroll struok O'Neil, when they clinehed,
and O'Neil having o knife in his hand. cut
Carroll IN the back, making an ugly won nd,
which bled profusely. O'Neil was arrested by
Omcer Langley and taken TO the eighth precinct
station, where he awaits hearing: Carroll
east, between Il and ID streets, and Drs. Nc.
Kim and Miller were called in and dressed the
wound; but they have NO apprehensions that
il will prove fatal, although by reason of the
loss Of blood Carroll is very weak 1t was ut
nrst thought that the wound was fatal, and
during the forenoon ii was generally reported
man Of family, and both he and O'Neil have
many friends in the eastern section of the city.
At one O'Clock to-day the accused, O'Neil.
mad hearing at the station house, before JUS
tice Lynch-Mr. J. E. Norris appearing for
him. Mr.. O'Neil, after the act was committed,
gave himself up to officers Langley and Las
key. Drs. MckIm and Miller testified that the
deceased had a wound in the left side of the
back near the shoulder GLADE, which was not
considered fatal. The physicians at the first
visit found Carroll in a critical condition.
Thinking he was dying, he was asked 10 make
statement, and he Co said that they had some
words, and he struck O'Neil, when they scuf-
fed, and O'Neil cut him.
John Freeland testified that they had some
words about a steak. when Carroll struck
O'Neil and they clinched, when Carroll put
his hands to his abdomen saying he was cut
Jas. Nalley corroborated this testimony VIM
Langley testified that Carroll caught O'Neit
with one hand by the shoulder and struck him
with the other.
Mr.. Norris conte nded that the case was clearly
one of self-defence, and even If the wound re.
suited in death Immediately, the Justice would
be warranted in dismissng the acc used, and he
would move his discharge.
Justice Lynch said that he could have used
some other instrument in defence, and he felt
committed to hold him TO bail for court He
would not take the responsibility OF dismissing
the case, and therefore held O'Neal to bail for
court in $1,000.

marked that in this book there seemed TO be

IL comes forth from the ordeal stamped with
vanity of vanities." solomon sought happi-
ness IN every thing that could minister pleasure
10 the senses; he carried his experiments through
the entire field and his decision is that the bliss
for which we sigh, the destiny for which we
were designed, Is not to be found in this worlds
enjoyment and possessions. Religion is the
great good because IL places our happiness in the
