who were neighbors, did not get along
very amicably together. Dennegan had an abusive

Probable Fatal Array Between Brothers.
An affray which will probably prove fatal occurred
yesterday afternoon between two brothers named
Patrick and John Mclaughlin, at their
residence in Baltic street, between Hoyt
and Smith. Patrick, on his return to his home
yesterday found his brother as alleged, beating his
IN terrible manner, and was dragging her about
the room by the hair Patrick took heavy stick
and struck his brother on the head knocking him
eenseless. The injured man was removed to the
Long Island College Hospital and Patrick was
locked up In the Third precinct station house to
