THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.
TWO JEALOUS COLORED DAMSELS IN
MURDEROUs FIGHT

The stronghold OF Crime, 81 Thompson
street, In Fcstasies-An Unusually spicy
Attempt at Murder-Furn' shing Food Tor
Gossip 10 the hardened Inmates.
One of those brutal fights for which the
Eighth Ward Is famous. filed the noghborhood OF
y Thompson street yesterday morning with On
slsrming uproar. Tho house, 81 and 50 THOMPSON,
Is den Of the abandoned II Ia Of three houses
built in triangular shape, and removed about 100
feet from the limo OF the street Tie entrance to
this stronghold Of crime Is through q nolsome
alloy way. Eeaeh Of tie houses is three stories
high, and is densely peopei By tho very lowest
white and black scum in the city. The place In
Thieh piurier was attempted yesterday Is the arst
floor OF No. 81. In one large room haifJozen be.
ngs eat live, and slcep. No carpet Is on the floor.
and no curtain 10 the windows. fow rlckety
stools, and an old table in the centre Of the room
straw bedtlck In corner and In the other corners
q few bundles OF straw without any covering.
In this room live Mrs. Jameson, an old colored wo
man. and her daughter Ssran Jane, about 20 years OF
age. Tie room must have seemed to the Jameson
family little too large for them, inasmuch as they
took in two or three bosrders, one Of these being
Miss Jennie Patterson, a coored maiden Of 90.
Yesterday morning while the old woman vas out,
Sarah Jane and Jennie had o war OF words.
Tho origin OF their quarrel was q dsshing
colored youth whom they both loved. Sarah
Jane, imagining that she had prior right to
the young man, yesterday tried to persuade Jennie
TO give mp her clims but the latter souty refused.
Sarah then lost her temper and seized heavy bale
stick, which she began throwing around until she
hit Jennie on the head, sending her sprawling
the floor. Not satisfied with this aud apparently
determined to put hei rival out Of the way at once
and forevermore, she seized large tumbler and hit
Jennie on the noae, cutting that feature BADLY. A
heavy satcesr was the next most convenient mis-.
size, and sarah at once broke II on Jennies head.
Al this stage OF tie proceedings Oficer Muldoon
entered the premises and found Jennie on the floor,
bleeding profusely. Tho Ofcer arrested Sarah, and
as soon a. Jennie had bound up her wounds they
took walk 10 the Prince street Police station, and
thence TO jefferson Market where Justice Cox COM
mltted Sarah In default OF 81 GOO bail
On the way TO the police station Jennie said that
some man had helped to beat her. but she did not
know his name. After making her charge at Court
Jennie complained OF internal pains. ehe there
fore removed TO Bellevue Hospital.
