the sTABeINs OF COMMISSIONER CORR
Improved Condition Of the Victim Complaint
Against the Assemblyman by the Commits
sioner's Cousin-What tho Quarrel Was
About-An Examination To-Day.

As IT has become pretty evident that Mr.. Corr,
Commissioner OF Charities OF Kings county viii sur
vive the injuries he received at the hands Of AS,
semblyman Roche, the excitement over the anair
is on the wane. The Commissioner was stabbed
about eleven O'Clock on Monday night on the Drew
while ON the way from Albany to New York, and
nearly all the time since he received his injury
his physicians have been compelled to adj
minister morphine to allay the pain. YesI
terday the pain did not seem so intense a. IL
had been, and he was able to take some nourish-
ment. Last evening his attending physician said
that he would in all probability recover, and this
was most pleasant Information to the intimate
friends OF both parties Mr. Corr has certainly had
o narrow escape from deatn, and his dangerous
condition has caused the utmost anxiety, not only
to his family and relatives, but to his friends and
politicians Tanbark to the depth of nearly
foot has been spread upon the pavement
on the block where he resides In High
street, and no one but his attendant and the ply
sicians are admitted to his room.
When the Assemblyman had surrendered himself,
and no one appeared to make complaint against
him, he fel. that he had made what reparati0n he
could, and his friends supposed no further action
would be taken except IN the event OF the Com
missioner's death. No little surprise was, there
fore, created yesterday morning. when Mr.. Thomas
Mullen, cousin Of the Commissioner, who keeps
judge Walsh "a and aae the

The real cause OF the trouble which led to the
ARRAY between the Assembyman and Commits
siOner in relation to this Mullen. Mullen IL IL
alleged. owns some property on Flatbush avenue
and has 1t In his wife's name. He went to the
Assessors ONCE to get reduction in his assess<
ment, but was unable to do so. He then
claimed that he should have the military
being in Ills wlfe's name rendered it impossible,
and at this he became highly indignant. The Coma
missioner also used his influence with Assessor
Breen, but 1t was all to no purpose, and since that
time there has been an Ill feeling towards the AS.
SCISSOR. In o discussion on the Albany boat Corr
told Roche that Assessor Breen was q sucker"
Some sharp words followed, when Corr, who is In
the habit OF using his sts struck Roche In the face
and the latter having his knife in his hand, 'abbed"
1t into him. .
Yesterday afternoon Roche was informed that d
complaint had been made against him, and he pro-
himself up. A number Of his friends appeared and
offered to give bonds for his appearance but there
were some doubts about the jurisdiction Of the
Court, inasmuch as the assault was not committed
In Brooklyn. After some argument the hearing was
postponed until ten O'CLOCK this morning.
