LIFE IN NEW YORK.
A Weeks Exploits with the Pistol
and the Knife.
From the New York Times.
The worthy citizens who consider
they perform heroic act III shooting or
stabbing . fellow-creature unawares,
must be proud of their record this week.
We have taken the trouble to make q
calendar oftheir achievements, aud If a
glance at it does not suggest the nscessi-
ty of an addition to the police force, and
q severe administration Of justice, all
the arguments in the world would be
thrown away.
We begin with Sunday morning. 1t
fell out that party Of men were fight
ing near Fourth street, in Broadway. A
young man named Guest stepped aside
to look on the fray. But the beligerents
wanted . private fight, aud, therefore,
one of them went up aud stabbed the
uhwelcoms Guest with pocket knife.
This was his share Of the entertainment
and he departed, ~ the reporters power
fully describe 1t. "veltering In his
gore" .......... ..... ......s..
On the same evening, . man named
Gilchrfst went intO ~ eating house and
began scoIding the landlady. He 10 un-
der the impression that the woman re-
torted by shooting him In the leg. On
the other hand, the husband will have
it that 1t WAS he who shot Gilchrist. 1t
10 all ono te GiIehrist, for he went away
with the bullet In his leg, and will not
patroHizs that eating house again for
some time. ,.s 4.3 ~s II a..e. 3D..
r A. Officer Gallagher was patrelhng
his beat in Hudson City, on this event.
Sunday, man sprang out from = door
way, and dealt him heavy blow in the
face. He followed this up by an at
tempt to choke the officer. We read in
the report, "This Is the third assault
which has been made upon Officer GAL
lagher, who appears to he an efficient
Officer" In these days II scarcely au-
swers for any Office tor get tho reputa-
ton Of being attentive t0 his business. -
Perhaps the matter could he compro-
missed by pepsioning of this trouhle-
some Gallagher. aab tte>4 sHe#sa f..
At about the same time the following
little incident occurred in Jersey City :
Three negroes were wrangling and fit
ing, when q white man, who lived near
took the liberty Of telling them that
their conduct was not strictly conform
able with the tradition Of the Sabbath.
Upon this hint ono Of the negroes stab
bed him in the small Of the back. The
knife entered the mans liver, and the
wound was thought by the surgeon to
be mortal. Two or three "clubbing''
engagements also took place that even
ing, but these we shall pass over as too
trivial for notice.
This was good proportion for one
day. We now come to Monday, scene,
i, 7avonia avenue, New Jersey. Two
!. zen enter drinking saloon kept by a
aan named Gnty. The latter liked
IS Customers so little THEY'VE only fol-
Nv the report-lne siezed ''huge club
nd beiabored them sofely." This
,rned out to be . fight worthy of a
omeric strain. But the reporter sum.
1oned up his powers and did very fair
stice to it. Customer No. was ear-
ID out in fatnting condition. What
tppened to Customer No. 2 was this
Lis rose was pounded almost to ajelly
a stroke oftie club, his head was
| slightly fractured, and two deep gashes
were inflicted on the top of the skull,
causing fatal injuries to the unfortunate
man." &
In the evening man was fatally

Ninth avenue. A negress in Baxte.
street stabbed another woman in the
forehead. Patrick Conners was set up

In the Sixth Ward man named Nc

4 tenement house In FrGnk fort street re-
tvsnsd home drunk. He stopped before
the door OF . fellow tenant named Mo
