KNIFE TO ITs HILT.-About two o'clock
last evening a difficulty, concerning some
triie, grew mp between Jules Born and
William Moore, during which Moore was
fatally stabbed, as is supposed, by Born.
The latter made his escape easily, for it
seems no efforts were put forth to secure
him. Moore was attended by DR.. Harrison,
who considered it proper to send him to a
hospital. The doctor thinks the wounded
man can not survive. The affair occurred
in coffeehouse on Wells street.
