,yyn Punishplent.
Since the page of crime has been reopened,
il seems as though every day were destined to
add some horrible deed thereto. The Wilmer,
Foster and Nagel cases are scarce placed before
the eyes of the public ere we are called upon
to record the occurrence OF anotner deeu OF
brutality, of crime and blood. This time the
scene is laid in the neghborhood of Eighteenth
and South streets.
1t appears that on Wednesday night Hugh
Mckinney, aged twenty-seven years, who re-
sided with his mother at No. 1895 Christian street,
whilst walking around with friend, stepped
into the drinkery of one Joe Brady, s. e. corner
OF Eighteenth and South streets. Assembled
therein were q crowd of bar-room loafers, who,
ripe at any moment for q quarrel, soon found
pretext for creating one with the two visitors.
A squabble ensued in the bar-room and was
kept up until all hands reached the street, when
it was renewed with increased violence. sud
denly the row ceased and all the participants
save one disappeared as though by magic.
A few minutes afterwards an old lady found
living upon the pavement, bleeding, moaning,
and horribly bruised and broken, the young
man Mckinney. She at once rushed into the
drinkery, notified the man Brady, and called on
him for assistance for the young man, telling
him that he was dead. Brady then pro-
cured the help of one or two Others and the
diving man was conveyed to the residence of his
brother No. 1915 Banbridge street, where he
fingered until last night, when death ended his
sufferings. The perpetrators OF this deed are
yet unknown and at large, but 1t is to be hoped
that Mayor fOA Will bpdTO hOl
time until he has them placed before the bar of
Justice. Coroner Taylor will hold an inquest on
the case this afternoon.
A STUNNER.-A stout specimen of humanity,
one Charles Larson, residing at No. DO ). Dela-
ware avenue, was arrested this morning and
brought before Alderman Betler to answer
charges growing out of domestic difficulties,
engendered by long and continuous spree. For
some past he has been amusing himself at inter-
walls by beating his wife, by offering to cut her
head off and bring it to her on dish, and by
stating to her that he intended to act the part OF
another ProtSt. His physical formation and his
unwillngness to comply with the requirements
of those who arrested him were such that the
services of three policemen and two constables
were necessary to persuade him to call at the
alderman's office. Not being able to procure
bail, he was sent below in default OF $2ooO bail.
CLOCK MEND1NG.-Yesterday an individual
stepped into the barber shop of one Kline, at
Twenty-second and Spruce streets, and desired
to know if there was any clock to mend. Mr..
Knine answered none there, but that he had
two at his residence that needed repairs. He
then engaged the stranger to call at his resi-
dence on Monday giving him the address. The
stranger left, and proceeding straight to the
place named told Mrs. Kline that he had been
sent there by her husband to fix the clocks.
She innocently showed him up into her bed
room, and there left him. Selling the opportu-
nifty, he ransacked the room, and securing $40
from one of the bureau drawers, descended,
bade the woman good day, and departed.
An IMPOsToR.-The public are cautioned to
keep look out for female impostor who is
now making the rounds of the city. She is
about 25 years Of age, thin, light complexion,
wears velvet sack, white felt hat with ma
room trimmings and feather, and maroon
colored dress with three founces. Yesterday
she called on Mrs. Laycock and represented
that she collecting means to enable poor
woman named Mrs. Lutz, residing at Seventh
and Cherry Streets to bury her child. Mrs. Lay
cock gave her one dollar, all the change she had
at the moment, and shortly afterwards sent
Girl with five dollars additional to the house
named. OF course the girl coald find no such
house and no such person as Mrs. Lutz.
DISHONEST DoMEsTIC.-Some ten days ago q
Mrs. Mcdonald residing at No. 1911 North
Eleventh street, engaged as Il servant q colored
girl named Emma Roberts, aged about 20 years.
All went well until last Friday, when Emma dis
appeared, and with her several fine dresses and
O lot of underclothing. Last night Detective
Levy captured Emma at Twelfth and South
streets, and on her found pawn tickets for the
stolen articles which have since been recovered.
Emma will have hearing to-day before Alder
man Kerr.
PUGILIsTIC.-Some nights ago Sergeant
Duffe, of the Seventeenth District force, was
attacked at Eleventh and South streets by gang
OF roughs headed bya William Evans, and rather
severely handled. The Sergeant stood his
ground, however, and succeeded in arresting
Evans who was committed to prison by Alder
man Dallas to answer at Court.
