PEsTLEs AND MoRTARs HAVING WIRES
rLE.-W. C. Harrison keeps drug store on
the corner of Magazine and ITALIA streets;
opposite his place w. l.. Jurgielewiez is
located in the same line Of business. A
protracted war, not as sweet as that OF the
Roses, has been raging between the pro
prietors, and when faithful historian shall
have written huge tome on the leading
events in the contest, our local literature
will be nearly complete. There have been
some startling situations, a little romance,
litigation and, at last, shedding of human
gore. Yesterday the warfare eliminated in
the use of powder and lead, and one OF the
braves got wounded. Angry passions hav-
ing reached the boiling over point the two
met in what may be termed street duel.
Jurgielewiez was wersted, as he caught one
of Harrson's bullets IN his shoulder, max
ing q small wound, one that closed the
affair for the time. Harrison did take a
Dill. but w. C. Bodechtel, passing by the
battle field at an unfortunate moment, was
wounded in his back by stray shot. No
arrest was made, but both belligerents will
be taken in to-day.

MURDER ON PETERS STREET. - Be-
tween twelve and one o'clock yesterday
afternoon the boarding house of Mr.. Fraw-
ley, No. t42 Peters street, was the scene of
an ARRAY resulting in the murder of quiet,
peaceable man, named Pat Limerick. All
the parties were at the time sitting at the
dinner table with Mr.. Frawley. There
were some words between a man named
Russell aud Bill Dennison, who has been
considered desperate man and is said to
have the blood of more than one man on
bis hands. Dennison took offense at some
thing Russell said and went around to the
side of the table where he was and called
him either rat or fraud. Russell rose and
threw Dennison on the floor. Mr.. Frawley
then got between them and pushed Russell
out OF the door. By the time he had
got him out the deceased and Dennison were
ecufiing. Some say there were hard words
and blows from Limerick, but the evidence
is not certain. AS Mr.. Frawley let go OF
Russell aud turned to separate the other
two Dennison stabbed Limerick to the
heart with knife, and was attempting to
repeat the blow before he could be stopped.
M Frawley and his son caught his arm
and got the knife away, his hand being cut
in the effort. The police were sent tor, but
none found, neither was doctor. A
cab was then procured, but before
Limerick could be removed he died.
Dennison remained shout short time
but escaped before the police arrived. He
is described as man of forty four or forty
five years of age, about five feet seven or
eight inches tall, sandy complexion NOUS
tache and hair. the latter closely cut. He
wore gray flannel shirt, CATERS and a
reddish colored coat. He has habit of
nearly closing his eyes when cOnyersing,
and looking in any ones face. He usually

thirty-four yearsIold, of quiet, peaceable
disposition and had been in the company of
his murderer during the morning. He was
buried in Washington Cemetery.
Officer Richard Murphy of the harbor
precinct knowing Dennlson put on citizen
clothes and went in search Of him. He
found traces of him in several boarding
houses and at last got sight of him at the
alley gate of Thomas Malloy. On
Murphys telling Malloy what kind
of man DennisOn was, he drove
him out. Officer Murphy, reinforced
by Officer McEntee, followed Dennison,
halted him at the corner of st. Joseph and
Foucher streets, and arrested him and
locked him up at the first precinct. His
statement is that after Russell threw him
down, all beat h u, and Limerick kicked
him in the side when he was down. He
called, he says, for help, that he might not
be murdered, and none coming, was com
PEELED to use his knife.
