There was a scuffie in the streets of

"A horrible murder was committed in
Baltimore, on Monday night; notorious
character named Samuel Mcdonald stabbed
Berry AMOS at the Sherwood House, caus-
ing his death in a short time after the
occurrence. Samuel W. Mcdonald is the
son Of the late William Mcdonald, who
was one of the wealthy citizens of Balti-
more. The son inherited the wealth of
his father, amounting to a quarter million
of dollars or more, and received good
education, but he chose rather the life of a
rough. His victim was gambler, noted
character among that class belonging to
the city. The murder was apparently
without cause, and probably the result of
feud between the parties. Mcdonald
was arrested and confined in Jail. The
Grand Jury have found true bill against
the accused, and if he is hanged it will be
good radiance of two worthless lives to
the community.
