THE BLOODY KNIFE.-This old time
weapon has been busy of late,' and seems
to be in favor again. John Ward was dis
pleased with words or deeds Of Samuel
Nicholas, when the two happened to meet
at the corner Of Valence and TchOupitQulas
streets Sunday evening To make all dis
putes clear, Ward plunged his knife into
Nicholas abdomen, after which Ward was
arrested and the wounded man sent to his
home.
Early yesterday morning Louis Burns
and SoipiO Stevens, failed to agree in con
vention, on Clara, near Julia street, and the
result was that Burns ran against knife,
and the knife got the best Of it. One was
arrested and the other sent to the Charity
Hospital.
Sunday evening William Brown and Vic
tor Nevairis were three miles below the
barracks. where the fresh air failed to cool
their fighting blood. Brown was greatly
worsted, being cut in his arms and shoulder
After Dr. Cooper attended him he was sent
to the Charity Hospital and Victor locked
up.
The knife flashed in several other locali-
ties, letting human blood flow almost as
free as water, and so it will go until there is
punishment for carrying concealed weapons.
One tnominal) day in prison is a sentence
little needed.

The alarm of fire at halfpast eleven
O'Clock last night was caused by a
barber shop on North Poydras street
being on fire. In half a minute after the
alarm about ten thousand fremen and
hundred engines, more or less, were on the
spot, fully prepared to squirt an unknown
quantity of water. 1t required only a few
barrels of water to moisten the blaze.
Willis. johnson, proprietor of the barber
shop is a slight loser. The building, near
Pile market, is owned by Mrs H. c. Stewart
and is poor frame.

NEEDS LNvEsTIG ATION.-Sunday night the
police cleaned information that Edward
Brooks had shot his wife, at or near Ken
nerville. Proceeding to make an investiga-
ton, Officer PigOt ascertained that the
woman was badly wounded with buckshot,
and the would-be wife-murderer had es-
capped. The officer learned where Brooks
was concealed, and at once proceeded. to
Judge Bell ia order to make an affidavit,
from information received, and obtain a
warrant The officer makes the following
statement to Superintendent Badger:
The affidavit for the warrant for Brooks
arrest was peremptOrily refused by the JUS
tice, and l was ordered out of his court.
Therefore Brooks is still at large, and as
the citizens of the place are much exas-
perated it will be impossible to answer for
his safety while at large, the affidavit be-
ing still refused by the justice. l would
also report that this is not the first time
the officers have been prevented in the
discharge of their duty by the Justice and
therefore your immediate action is re-
quested."
If this prove correct there should be a
sudden official decapitation and prosecu-
ton.

MECHANICS LIENS: The Philadel-
pha Led1er states that the law on this
subject has recently undergone material
modification. For more than thirty years
past every new building erected IN the
State was subjected to lien of all per
sons who furnished either labor or mate
rial on their own account Excluding
journeymen, apprentices and persons who
worked for others,) and the liens were
without priority among themselves, no
matter when the work was done or the
supplies furnished, and were subordinate
to such claims only as mortgages or judg
mebts which were upon the land before
the ground was broken for building pur-
poses. The Ledger also thinks there is
no doubt that the existence of this law
has largely contributed to the very great
increase of building in that city and the
same may be said also of every other city
and town In the State. This is so be
cause the law afforded tangible addi-
toual security to those who might not
otherwise have been willing to trust to
contractors of limited means aud still
more limited credit But there was an
attendant evil which it has been attempt
ed to eradicate. An owner might, after
paying his contractor in full, be required
to pay bills which the contractor had
neglected to pay, and in several instances
such was the case, making the building
cost far more than expected or agreed
The recent law seems to afford security
against this danger, by providing that
where the contract for the building shall
be in writing, executed and acknowledg
ed before justice or notary, in like man
ner as a deed, and recorded within fifteen
days after its execution, the building shall
be liable to the claim of its building con-
tractor only, others having redress against
him, and without any lien upon the build
ing. This does not apply to buildings
erected otherwise than by written contract
The law was signed on the Sd of April
1872, and will go into effect at the e1Pira
tion of sixty days from that time.
