BIDDEFoRD, Dec. 26-Christmas afternoon
an ARRAY took place in this city in building al
the corner Of South and Bradbury streets, in
which Patrick Hobbins stabbed his wife and
man named Joseph Singer. Hobbins and Sin
eyr occupied tenements in the same house.
During the afternoon, Hobb.us, who had been
drinking freely entered SIncyr's room and made
disturbance. Sincyr put him out and pushed
him into an adjoining room. A struggle then
took place in which Hobbins' wife joined. Hob
bins drew knife and made pass at Sincyr,
but at that moment his wife stepped between
the men and received the blow on her right
arm, making deep cash two inches long.
Hobbins made second thrust at Sincyr, strik
ing him on the right temple and severing the
temporal artery. Sincyr fell upon the floor,
and as he did so Hobbing struck him a third
time, making ghastly wound in the thigh,

rived and Hobbns was arrested.
Hobbns was arraigned in the Municipal
Court this morning and ordered to recognize IN
$1,000 bail. In default of bail he was comm t.
ted to Jail. His wife is doing we'll, and will
probably recover. Sincyr is very dangerously
