items:
DESPERATE FIGHT-A desperate light &C.
CURED about two O'Clock yesterday evening at
the northwest corner Of Pitt and Cameron
streets between two Irishmen, one living on
the Seminary Hill and the other in the P0or's
House lane, who had quarrelled about the war
now waging in Europe. The Poor's House man
ives knocked down, severely beaten in tn face,
aud an attempt was made to gouge out his
ewes, but regaining his feet by the assistance of
a lahnrer, who pulled his antagonist away from
him, he drew his knife and made for his oppo-
rent but was prevented from reaching him by
the same man who had released him. Both
parties then picked up brick bats, which they
hurled at each other, but without effect. The
Seminary man then seized the wooden part of
a plumbob and struck the POOr's House man
several severe blows on the head, but in return
was stabbed in the groin, the wound being
inches long and an inch and half deep: then
saying "he's stabbed me-" he picked up a rake
which was lying near, and beat his sdyersaIy
over the head with 1t, knocking him down and
b hiding the teeth Of the rake against his skull,
until byssanders separated them. The Poor's
House man started at once for surgical assis-
lance, and the other one went into a store near
by and also sent for doctor. The stab of the
Seminary man was found to be only q flesh
wound, but the injuries Of the other are re-
ported to be serious.
