snOOTlNGs AFFRAY.
L. q, HSke and w. NJ. MaPSSovg take Rep u
Each Other with Pistols.

Yesterday Sunday was performed one act Of
a drama that came near ending in tragedy. }.
s. Hoke and w. NJ. Marbourg, well known bust
ness men in this city. aud relatives by the ties Of
blOosi (cOusns), had q personal reencounter ut
the Otis HOuse yesterday. But for bad shdOfing,
one or both Of the parties wOuld have been kill
ed. The causes Of this difficulty are briefly
these:
On the 18th of June last, Mr. Hoke filed his
petition in the district court Of this county
against Mr. Marbourg for damages for SiOOOO,
for the seduction of his wife, and for enticing
Hoke's wife away, and for concealing from him
his wifi. aud child Prior to filing this petition,
aud since, Of course, HOke and Marbourg nave
been very bitter towards each other Hoke was
informed a few days since that Marbourg said,
..if Hoke wanted to fight him he was always
ready, and that he thought HOke would show
more sense in fighting ont their difficulty, than
in going to law about it." Since then Hoke has
carried n pistol. On Sunday. Hoke invited q
party Of friends consisting Of ladies' and GENTLE
men, to take dinner with him at the Otis House.
While at dinner Marbourg came into the dining
rom, and seeing HOke rise from his seat as If to
meet him. drew his pistol and fired first at HOke.
Thcreupon Hoke drew his pistol and fired several
times at Marbonrg one shot taking effect in the
arm Of MarbOurg, producing flesh wound.
MarbOurg fired twice, and then ran away follow
ell by Hoke. but both parties were separated on
the stairs and the shooting ended without other
wounds. HOke was taken to his house and was
seriously ill., and seemed t0 be labOring under
great excitement. Recently Hoke had received
strong evidence from the east, where Mr.. Mar
bourg and Mrs Hoke were together last year,
showing conclusively criminal intercourse be-
tween his wife and Mr.. Marbourg and since then
Mr.. Hoke has acted as in frenzed condition, and
f.arfnlly excited at the sight Of Marbourg. Mr
Mari,ourg had two pistols with him at the time

Col. FOrney complains, in a well written arti-
Gle in the Philadelphia Press. that public men, AZ

journalists tn whnm they, in many instances,
owe their positi"n. Nobosly is more comPetent
to speak on this subject than Col Forney him

any other man. Much of his work has been that
of politician instead Of that Of JOURNALIST, but
in either capacity he has always been able to
serve his friends well, and he has always served
them faithfully. His reward has been very
small If he had let politics alone and devoted
himself exclusively to journalism he might have

er fortune than Benefits. But he was always
