ANOTHER MURDER.-At late hour


Saturday night desperate and fatal
ARRAY occurred at the saloon of John
Jarvis, in Independence, which re-
suited in the death of John Newman
and the serious iDjuring of Ed Fields.
From the many reports of the case
that have reached Us, 1t appears that
there had been a dance at Jarvis s,
and William Simpson, learning that
Fields had insu ted his wife by the
use of ungallant aud ungeptlemanly
language, sought Fields and demand
ed an explanation. Not receiving a
satisfactory answer, he struck Fields
with beer-glass, knocking him down
Others also, it is said, pitched upon
Fields and beat him so seriously that
he is confined to his bed, aud some
doubts are entertained Of his recovery.
A few moments after and during the
excitement, some one fred a pistol
and the ball took effect In the face Of
John Newman, an inofensive man,
who happened to be standing near
Simpson, entering an inch below the
left eye and ranging upward to the
top of the right ear. causing instant
death In the excitement it was DIFF
fcult to tell who did the shooting.
1t is said, however, to be between Cal.
Hunt and a man named Jackson,
whose surname we did not learn,
both ofwhom disappeared immediate
~ after the shooting took place.
Simpson was arrested at his home
yesterday morning, and lodged in the
lock up. Hunt and jackson are still
at large, or were late last evening,
though the officers were 10 search of
them.
The Coroner held an inquest on the
body of Newman yesterday morning,
and the verdict will be found Ia our
advertising columns. It is a sad case,
and is another evidence Of the direlul
effects of the too common habit Of
carrying pistols. Newman and Simp-
son have each wife and one child.
Hunt has a wife and two children,
and lives, We believe, in the lower
bayou.
1t is said that Hunt entered the
room, and seeing Fields, who was
particular friend, lying on the floor
bleeding and apparently lifeless, took
Field revolver from his pocket, and
seeing Newman standing near the
Frustrated body, supposed he had
knocked him down Hunt then
walked out of the house, went around
to the opposite door and shot Newman.
These are the reports told US by diff
ferent parties, but, of course, We are
unable to say how correct they are.
The matter will, we presume, be
thoroughly investigated.

FIRE LAST NIGET-A few min
utes after II o'clock last night, an
alarm of fire was sounded through
out the city, and. in a few minutes,
the dark clouds that overhuBg the
city were lit up with lurid glare,
Painting Hell on the cloud
It proved to be two-story frame
building, on the south west corner OF
Seventh and Cherry Streets. owned
by Mat. Hartlein, and occupied as a
grocery store and dwelling by Frank
Rahermann The fire spread rapidly.
and the engines being slow in getting
to work. all efforts to save the build
ing were fruitless. The flames soon
spread 70 an adjoining one-story
frame building, occupied. and owned,
we believe, by Henry Sunderman. an
industrious carpenter, and that too,
was totally destroyed
An adjoining two story frame was
in imminent danger, but was saved
though somewhat scorched. The
roofs on two houses on the opposite
side of Cherry Street, were on fire,
but were speedily extinguished by
the owners or occupants. There was
a vast crowd of people out to see the
fire, among whom were hundreds Of
ladies', some of whom, We were told,
had come all the way from Lamasco.
We understand there was an issu-
rance of 81, 800 on Hartlein's house,
in the Home, of New York, repre-
scented in this city by Archer & Co.,
which will, probably. about cover the
loss.
There was plate Of the Phoenix,
Of which Nexsen & Bxby are
agents, on Sunderman's house,
but for what amount, OF hetber
the policy Is alive or not We did not
ascertain, nor could we learn, in the
midst Of the excitement, confusion,
and crowd, anything as to the origin
of the fire. We understand that the
furniture of Mr.. Sunderman was prin-
cipally saved, and some articles were
saved from the other building.

NapOleOn'S Speech.

LONDON, Aug. l2.-The recent speech Of
the Emperor Napoleon at Troyes forms a
theme of much comment, and is variously re-
garded by the press of England. While some
Of tho journals characterize the speech as GER
tain pledge of peace, others assert that it is
really cover for war preparations.
