A Desperate Assault.
A Clear Case Of Self-Defcnse.

Last evening about 8 O'Clock, in the bakery
Of Mrs. Cosgrove, No. $50 St Mary street,
there occurred one Of those difficulties which
nowadays are often chronicled in the annals
Of the police, and which too frequently are the
offsprings Of hasty passions coupled with an
overdose of spirituous drink.
1T APPEARS
from the details gathered by a reporter of the
BULLETIN, that Louis Armand and Patrick
Leahy are two young men employed on the
premises, and up to the time OF their difficulty
had been intimate and dear friends.
Yesterday evening Leahy had imbibed an
overdose OF whisky and while sitting on
bucket in the bake-house, was requested by
Armand to rise, as he required the same for
use. The effect of the liquor upon Leahy had
been such as to put him in fighting mood,
and this, together with the advice of friend
who was standing near, was sufficient to make
him resent supposed insult with blow.
At this juncture the friend laid hands upon
bludgeon, while Leahy prepared to continue
the encounter.
Fearing for his life, Armand seized
RoLLING-PTN,
and proceeded to defend himself by intiicting
upon Leahy two blows over the head
and the other across the face. In an insensi-
bic condition, the neghbors, who, alarmed
by the noise, had rushed in, picked him up
and carried him into bedroom. DR.. P. J.
POLICEMAN made an examination and found
that Leahy had received a deep cut about
two inches and half long in the fore part Of
the head, together with wound across the
face which had blackened and swollen the
eyes and apparently broken the nose.
This morning he was conveyed to the
Charity Hospital, and at late hour, when
our reporter visited him, was doing as well as
could be expected.
Louis Armand, about o'clock yesterday,
was arrested by Corporal Brennan and locked
up in the Sixth Precinct Station.

A QUIET HORSE

In Connemara they say ''Theres luck in
odd numbers, and judging from the expert
ence of a certain well known builder here
there is considerable truth in the old saying.
He never INDUCED in any of the little vices so
frequent in most men, but prompted by some
premonition our builder shattered his old
resolutions, and following in the wake of
many thousands before him purchased a
ticket in the Louisiana Lottery. Monday his
three numbers came out and returned him
one thousand dollars
This builder is a generous, open-handed
fellow, and he vowed he would at once treat
his wife to a carriage horse, one Of those quiet
domesticated, family sort Of equines that
stand before the door without small boy
holding him, one that lady could drive.
Accordingly he visited several stables and,
on tie assurance Of the keeper, agreed to buy
certain bay, having fine points and neat
action. and said to be remarkably quiet.
One young builder, accompanied by a
well known sewing machine agent, who had
the reputation of being up in horse sense,
stepped into handsome barouche for a trial
drive, and Canal street was astonished at the
style Of the turnout The quiet horse, how
ever, as soon as he snuffed the fresh air blow
ing over the broad commons, started, and in
few minutes the two gentlemen were found
sitting in the road asking ''what steamboat
had blown up'?'
The stable keepers boys swept up the splin-
ters of the carriage into bucket, and started
for over the lake to find the horse. The lucky
individual says that he forever more will fight
shy of quiet horses, and his wife has some
doubts about getting her present. The sew

A DOUBTFUL REPORT.

CINCINNATI, July 2l.-Yesterday morning
when the Gazette compositors who took the
vacant places Of the union compositors went
home, it was deemed necessary that they
should be escorted by policemen.
During the day threats had been made by
the union men against the new compositors,
and in one instance. a letter was sent to a sis
ter Of one Of the printers, saying if her brother
did not leave the composing room, there would
be blood shed.
Last night, after the regular midnight
lunch, a number of compositors were seized
with severe vomiting and purging accompa-
MED y burning sensation in the throat and
stomach. Several of them were compelled to
go home. 1t is supposed the coffee was
poisoned. Some Of the coffee was preserved
and chemical analysis will be made of it
TODAY.

A PICKPOCKET CONES TO GRIEF.

James Marshall, alias Murphy, alias Tai
tons, notorious pickpocket and Jail bird, was
yesterday arrested and locked up in the Third
Precinct Station. Although only sixteen
years Of age he is 4 youth old in sin, and
ever since child has been spotted by the
police as bad character.
1t seems that yesterday afternoon he
selected as his victim Mrs. Christina Davis
who keeps vegetable stand in the French
Market. Apparently bent on an honest pur-
pose, he appro ched the stand, and drawing
forth some money as blind, lie requested
ten cents worth of green's.
The same was furnished him. and Mrs.
Davis reached above to get his change, he
quietly slipped his hand into the right pocket
Of her dress, drawing therefrom $40 in cur
rency and "A check for $3.50. He then left
1t was not long before the theft was dis
covered, and raising war-cry the lady hotly
pursued in the direction the thief had taken.
Having caught sight of him as he was
Fastening through the market the attention of
policeman was called, and the two persistent
ly chased Murphy.
At last he was caught. and on being ex-
amined at the Police Station, the money and
check was found upon his person. We think
that this youthful sinner is safe for a term in
the Penitentiary.

ton.
l desire to advise you that this was done
without consultation with me, and that it is
wholly unnecessary. The peace Of the city
is undsturbed. l believe the election will be
quiet one, and the presence of troops will
be esteemed only as a menace to one class of
our population and in the interest of the po-
itical schemes of another. I am assured of
the aid of all good citizens in preserving the
peace, and am confident can maintain it
without military interference. t4,, ts,fs;s.s.o

PARIS, July 21.-The Government on Thurs

THE COMING ROWING REGATTA.

The increase Of popular interest in rowing
so marked in the North, has invaded our at
mosphere, and our young men are now as ia
miliar with sliding seat and SOULS as their
rivals in New York. There is, however, one
drawback to the material advancement Of the
sport here, and that is the dissension existing
between the different clubs.
Some time SINCE it seems, one of the clubs
was ruled out Of the Rowing Association, and
debarred from contesting for championship
thereafter This naturally excited an un-
friendly feeling on both sides, which has had
the effect of still further widening the breach.
In September, or earlier, contest for State
honors will be had, and, under the rules, the
st. Johns Club cannot enter. This, We
think, should be remedied.
If the race is for the puspose Of testing the
merits of the men it should be open to all,
saving professionals, whether they belong to
the association or not. Athletic sports are
now too little cultivated in Louisiana and tech
nicalities and little feuds ought not to stand
in the way of their advancement. Let the
gentlemen of the association throw open their
door to all corners and the sport of which they
are the enthusiastic opponents will be as
popular as can be desired.
