probably would do even if did not allow it,
haze been disbeliever in total depravity, and
inclined to doubt the existence of literal hell,

which may result fatally to ono at least.
II appears that for some time past . Russian
named Leo Balsky, who formerly kept an assigna-

named Dan Biddle, have been living with two sisters
named Annie Raymond aud Emma Knickerbocker,
on the second noor OF No. % Bleecker street. few
minutes before seven O'Clock last night they quar-
relied the versions Of which dispute difer materially

been eye witnesses to the afrray.
The story related by Biddle's woman" ID, that
Basky came to the house early In the evening under
the influence OF liquor and commenced abusing

OF his stomach.
had long since existed between the parties on ac-
count Of a supposed intimacy between BalHky y
woman and Biddie, and the former, desiring to
avenge himself proposed game OF CARDS, during
which they Quarreiied.
Another version is that Balsky returned to the
house short time after six O'Clock FINDING Bid
die locked up in room with his mistress COM
menced kicking and pounding on the door. which
enraged Bdde to such an extent that he opened the
door and fired after which ne ran into The street.

The wounded man was placed in o carriage and
removed to the Fifteenth precinct station house, IN
Mercer street, where he was attended by Police Sur
geon Frazer VINO pronounced the wound not imme-
uiateiy dangerous although Of such nature that
II would take from Two TO three days to determine.
The ball entered the stomach midway between the
navel ana The sternum, passing downward.
A lew minutes before eleven O'Clock last night
Biddle surrendered himself to Inspector Dilks at
headquarters, stating that white seated In
his room IN the early part OF the evening
he heard footsteps sealthily approaching along the
hallway, and, surmislng 1t was Basky from the
threats he had made, requested his mistress to open
the door and see who 1t was. As she opened the
door Balsky rushed in and struck nlm In the face,
at which he ran into the hallway, pursued by
Balsky and when but short distance from the
stairway, fired upon him.
Judging from Che appearance OF the prisoner while
at headquarters last night his version OF the array
was correct as far AZ concerns the assault his right

ANIMAL STRUCTURE.
Lecture by Professor EbeII.


The second Of free course Of scientific lectures
under the auspices Of the trustees Of Cooper Union
was delivered last night in the large hall. Professor
A. j. Ebell announced as his subject animal Struc-
turen and stated that he should refer more partcu-
larry to his subject In Its connection with fishes and
reptiles. The functions OF animals might be divided
into animal ana vegetative, which again branched
out into sensation, nntritive and generative. The
first portion OF structure referred to by the lecturer
was the bones. The strength OF bone, made,
as 1t is. OF animal ana mineral matter was
twenty-five times more than that OF freestone.
rhe rudlmental formation OF the bony structure
was similar in all the branches OF the animal
kingdom, and all belonged to two systems The
musc es were the ropes which gave motion to the
bones. The sensational system was next discussed.
The nervous system came under this head, and 1t
again mad branching out from 1t, which were
the five senses. After having thus intro
duced his subject to his hearers Professor
Ebell proceeded to deal with the structure
OF the fishes. Commencing with the head
the lecturer gave minute description OF the forma-
ton Of the fishes illustrating his remarks by some
very well executed drawings upon the blackboard
The reptile kingdom was discussed In the same
manner with similar illustrations.
The hall was comfortably filed and the lecture
was received with considerable satisfaction.
