York Tribune, was shot, and, it is
thought, fatally wounded this even

between whom has existed for con-
siderable time past an estrangement,
caused by an alleged intimacy of the
former with the latter's wife. Nc
Farland, who seems to have had the
entree of the Tribune office, was
standing behind the counter in the
business department, in conversation
with one of the employees. About 6
o'clock this evening, Mr.. Richardson
entered the Tribune Office. and going
up to the counter, entered into con-

In the habit of working for him. A
few minutes after Richardson's en-
trance, Mcfarland walked over to-
wards him, and, without saying a
word, fred q pistol, the ball from
which wounded Richardson IN the
abdomen. The wounded man, with
out saying a word, walked up to the
Tribune editorial rooms, whence he
was conveyed to the Astor House to
have the wound attended to. He is not
expected to recover.
Mcfarland was arrested. There
seems to have been a recent incentive to
this deliberate deed. The difficulty
between Mcfarland and Richardson
occurred over year ago. Richardson

charge of improper intimacy with
Netherlands wife. but published a
card, stating his intention to marry
her after divorce had been procured.

lamater, the contractor of the vessels,
has applied TO the State Department

Representatives of the Spanish Gov
ernment on a certain day. His appli-
cation is now on file in Secretary
Fish's Office. The offer of the contract
or to have the steamers placed at his
disposal, has, it is said, led the Span

cation for their release, and the mat.
ter is now under consideration. 1t il

boats will throw 400 men out of en-
ployment at Delamater' works.
