Murder in Philad sIphia.
Phia., 80. A startling tragedy occurred
at the corner of Second and Race Sts, this
afternoon. German named August Pahuke
aged 81 years. was shot and instantly killed
by George Snyder, SO years of age. Snyder
and Pahuke about ten weeks ago set up in
partnership as sewing machine reparers and
general machinists. About two weeks ago,
as Snyder alleges, he bought out Pahuke, and
conducted the business on his own account
from that time. Everything went on smooth
ly until Pahuke one day returned and declared
that he had not been treated fairly. This af-
ternoon, after he had been told not
to enter the place again, he went to the shop,
forced his way through the door, and COM
menced to quarrel with Snyder. The latter
endeavored to put him out, and fight ensued
During the struggle Snyder reached for
seven barreled revolver, which lay under the
counter, and backing off from Pahuke fred
ven shots at him in rapid succession. Pa
huke staggered to the, floor and almost instant
ly expired. An officer arrested Snyder and
took him to the 4th Dist. station house. Up
on going there he stated the facts of the oc-
currence, and claimed the shooting is self
defence. The Lieut.. of the dist. took possess
sion of the place and summoned the coroner
1t was found that of the seven shots five en-
tered Pahukes body, two in the right breast,
one near the heart and the other two in the
limbs. Snyder is married man and has four
children. Pahuke was single. Snyder is
spoken of generally as peaceful man, and
the neighbors say no trouble has before taken
place between them.

The Crescent Street Sidewalk.

On the east side of Crescent street, in this
city, are fourteen heads of families, who four
times day, at least, are obliged to pass over
its sidewalk. On the west side are four heads
of families, who pass out to Grove street on
that portion Of the street connecting with
Grove street, near the residence of Mayor
North. Last Sunday ten ladies went to
church from this street, and had to wallow on
the sand which had been piled upon the side
walk, or walk in the dust of that portion of
the road allotted to carriages. In dry wealth.
er this sand sidewalk is decided nuisance,
in vet weather it is a mud hole, and at all
times pedestrians are obliged to seek the road
for decent footing. The residents OF this
street would like to have some of the old
tagging stones formerly used for a sidewalk
on Arsenal street, east side of the river, and
which we're taken up (although making a
good sidewalk) when concrete was put down
on that street-on this street. These stones
are now lying useless by the roadside on Ar
senal street, and are probably the property of
the city. They would also like to know what
power on the east side takes up good tagging
stones and put down concrete-when on this

palluWell Zocal Mems.

We have before urged the ecce3sity of a
new sidewalk on Union street, and the assur.
ance has been given that the present season
would witness the much needed Improvement.
In the vicinity of Niles Stable especially, the
present walk is so much below the level Of
the street that after every shower the water
stands several inches deep, for an indefinite
period, and in the winter and spring whenever
the snow begins to melt, the street is almost
impossible for pedestrians, unless incased in
rubber boots to the hips. The walk should
be of concrete, and raised to a true grade be-
tween Water and Second streets; and we
doubt not our Street Commissioner will make
thorough work in that vicinity whenever he
finds time to attend to the matter. With a
good sidewalk on that street, and a gas light
on the corner of Union and Second streets,
the arrangements may be considered perfect,
and the numerous travellers over that section
will be suitably grateful.
