The Latest Murder in New York.
ONE DAYS GRACE

ONE DAYS GRACE.
Two printers, named Clarence Lock
wood and Marshal MaGruder, had
quarrel at their boarding house, about
young lady to whom both we're trying
to pay their attentions. They and other
boarders we're in the sitting room, when
Lockwood spoke to Miss Brown. the
young lady in question, thereupon Ma
Gruder jumped up and said elf you have
anything to say to Miss Brown or any
one else, say it when [ am not present, |
don't want to be annoyed by your re-
marks" Hot words followed and both
men clinched and began to struggle,
when fellow boarder named Smith
sprang between them saying, Gentle
men this is Sunday, please don't raise
row here" thereupon MaGruder said,
You're right" and then turned to
Lockwood and said "I'll not fight you
on the Sabbath, but tomorrow I'll shoot
you like cog. Prepare yourself, for
I'll shoot you like dog" He then left
the room. On Monday night he came
home and standing in the dining room
door, glanced rapidly around the room
till he saw Lockwood's vacant chair
and said " | miss some familiar faces at
the table," and turning to the girl who
had been the cause of the trouble, asked
"Where is Lockwood? ?" Miss Brown
replied 81 don't know, 1 guess he has
gone out of town." MaGruder then ran
rapidly up stairs to Lockwood's room.
Another boarder named Madison, fear
ing mischief, followed just in time to see
what happened.
Lockwood was seated in an easy chair
near the fire. MaGruder advanced to
the centre of the room, and, drawing a
pistol, pointed it at Lockwood. Lock.
wood rose from his chair, and as he did
80, MaGruder fired. The first shot mis-
sed its mark, and Lockwood advanced
step toward MaGruder, who deliber
ately taking aim, fred again. The bal
entered Lockwood's abdomen, a little tc
the right of the umbilicus, and, stager
ing forward, the wounded man fell to tht
floor. MaGruder did not move, but
looked down on Lockwood with an ex
preston of satisfaction on his face. The
noise of the shots alarmed the boarder:
in the dining-room, and, running up the
flight of stairs, they crowded into the
room. MaGruder turned on them, and
brandishing his revolver, said, "I'll sh Dol
any one of you who dares to interfere
with me-" All were afraid, and Ma
Gruder calmly walking through the
crowd passed down stairs into the din
ing-room, and coolly sat down to hi:
supper, informing the waitress, with q
smile, that he supposed his coffee wa,
nearly cold.
A policeman was called, who in def
erance to the GOODNESS and convenience O
thecriminal, allowed him to finish his sup
per while Lockwood was writing in ag
ony on the floor above. At length 3
stretcher was procured, and Lockwood
taken to the Madison-street Station
+ MaGruder was brought in and confron
d ted with Lockwood, who said, "Oh Mac
o why did you do this" MaGruder, look
ing down at Lockwood, said, Didn't
n tell you l would shoot you like do.
E Didn't tell you | would shoot you Xix
a a dog. LOckwoOd's wound was pr,
v nounced mortal, and MaGruder Wa

CHICAGO, April 4.-The proprietors Of
the West Side Briggs House have com
menced suit against the proprietors Of
the New Briggs House, just completed
and opened on the site Of the same hotel
before the fire, to restrain the latter
from using the name in connection with
their hotel. Plaintiffs claim that before
the FIRE they bought the furniture and
good will of the house, and when the
building was burned transferred the
name to the purchaser of the house
which they now occupy on West side.
Over $500 was subscribed yesterday

NAL to the minor officers Of the Atlantic

have doubled bis lookout aud slowed the
vessel instead Of running twelve knots
an hour 10 such dangerous place.
The HerAlds special from Halifax says;
CAPTAIN Williams Is still silent ON all
important points as 70 hls woalhoring
the scene At Meaehre's Island. Ycsler-
day he was very sad, Tho bodies that
have been recovered were laid in rows
along the slopipg ledge. There were
mothers and little ohlldren, aud s,rong
men with protruding cyeh and frolhy
mouths. Many dead bodies we're pill
LACED. One emigrAnt had thirty sew
ereigns sewed in the lining Of his vest,
These were stolen, but the thief was ar
rested. A large trench ia being dug IN
which the bodies Of those unclaimed will
be buried.
Additional particulars Of the wreck Of
Of the Atlantic, derived from officers
and passengers Of the ship, are chiefly
valuable as throwing some light on the
cause Of the disaster. II now appears
that the vessel was making twelve knots
an hour when she struck, though the
Captain did not know il certainly. One
of the quartermasieFs gave the officer in
charge warning Of almost certain dan
ger; after . o'clock am. he was sure
they we're in port, but was discouraged
from this aud other attempts to caution
mis- superiors. The ship struck soon
after he gave his warnings.
The Tribune special from Halifax
says: John Higuey, aged twelve years,
was the only survivor of several hundred
women aud children aboard the Attain
tic. When he arrived at Halifax he was
dressed in garments loaned to him by
some Of the few who had clothes to
spare. Alderman Neal happened to
meet the lad, and took him to a store
and fitted him out from top to toe with
an excellent suit. The scene about the
steamer was fearful. The lifeless body
Of the purser could be seen hanging over
the side Of the steamer, his head jammed
in between the rails, the sea causing the
trunk aud legs to keep in continual
motion.
Hundreds Of other bodies could be
seen in similar positions. Among the
heart rending scenes two were particu-
larly sad: One, gentleman, Albert
Sumner, Of San Francisco, committed
suicide by jumping into the water, first
taking off his coat. Others near him
endeavored to dissuade him, but they
we're too much benumbed to prevent
him. He said there was no prospect of
rescue, and it was useless to remain and
suffer, and jumped overheard. The
other, lady, a saloon passenger, was
heard to say to her husband, Leave me;
save YOURSELF you can't save both," but
he refused, and they went down to-
gether, clasped in each others arms.
1t was the occasion of much remark
that, with very few exceptions, married
men all persisted, for when they found
it impossible to save their wives and
little ones they preferred to die with
them to deserving them. Many in
stances are known where men could
have escaped alone, but refused to do
60. At one time during the weary watch
before dawn the fore-boom broke loose
from its fastenings, and swinging around,
instantly crushed to death about twenty
passengers.
