Shooting ARRAY.

New York, {. The following are the de-
tails of the shooting ARRAY which took place
in Hoboken this morniug:
John II. Berthoff, the man who attempted
to kill Eberhard, was the latter's nephew and
was generally spoken of as worthless vaga-
bond. John Eberhard, his intended victim,
has been employed as ferry master by the Ho
boken ferry company for the last fifteen
years and bears an excellent reputation.
Since his marriage with Eberhard's niece, Ber-
thof has refused to work, and the former
was'therefore compelled to pay the entire
household expenses of the family, including
rent. in order to save them from want. Ber-
thof's course naturally excited Eberhard,
who has several times upbraded him for his
conduct and recently threatened it is said to
eject him from the premises unless he fur
ni;hed the means to support his family. Der
thof lived in william street near Eleventh
and Eberhard, who is unmarried, also occu-
pied a room in the same house. About 9 80
this morning, while Eberhard was sitting on
the edge of his bed, talking to a little girl,
Berthrof suddenly opened the door of the
parlor and walked into the room. He stepped
quickly toward Eberhard and drawing a revol
yer exclaimed, Now I've gst you,' and fred
The ball struck Eberhard in the forehead and
hh fell TO the floor. Berthoff then leaned
over him ed again pointed the pistol at his
head, when Ebeghard sprang to his feet and
grappled with him. After short struggle,
in which BerthoT vainly endeavored to dis
charge the weapon, Eberhard succeeded in
getting it into his possession. Berthoff fled,
but soon after was arrested. In consequence
of the excitement and loss of blood. Eber-
hard tainted and again fell to the floor. The
ball struck the upper part of the frontal bone
and was taken out about three inches from
the place where it entered. The doctors say
unless severe inflammation sets in, Eberhard
will probably recover. Eberhard was well
known in Hoboken and when his attempted
assassination was reported, great exaspera-
ton was manifested against Berthoff, and
threats of lynching were heard on all sides.

City Marshal Fowles informs US that there
have been thirty-six arrests in Iiallowel the
past year, against ninety for the year preyi-

for the temperance reform movement in this

fear that unless the temperance reformers
maintain their organization ard activity, the
coming year may not prove SO favorable as
the past in our police department. II there

the law by furnishing Intoxicating liquors for
