Two Italian Hatters Quarrel and Are Killed
Murder and Suicide.

The Eighth ward has been again the scene OF
another tragedy. Not far from the spot where the
policeman Doyle shot the girl LAWYER two Italians
quarreed yesterday. One shot the other and then
shot himself and both died instantly. The circum-
stances OF the tragedy are as follows AT quar-
ter past seven O'Clock yesterday morning these
Italians met opposite No. l39 Prince street. They
had short, angry alteration in the Italian Ian
guaee, heard by lady who lived opposite. ana was
partaklng breakfast. Shortly afterwards she heard
TWO shots fred. She ran out and saw the two men
lying In the street. one on the area way and the
other on the sidewalk. One OF these men was
named Anthony Barll and the other Peter Tarchini.
Barl came TO this country about two years ago, at
the instance OF Mr.. Dunlap, the halter, who de-
sired TO engage hip for the manufacture OF what
are known as opera hats Barll appears to have
been an adept In this particular manufacture and
both employer ana employed were well satisfied
with each other. This arrangement was.
however, at length disturbed by the cupid
1ty or enterprise OF some fellow countryman OF
Barli's, and proposals were made to him to leave
the employment Of Mr.. Dunlap and 20 into Ous-
ness himself This proposition after some little
time mad elapsed was accepted by Barli and he
entered Into partnership with two Italians named
Tarchini and Sicardi. These men opened a store at
NO. 575 Broadway and the firm was known as Bdrli.
Tarchini q Sicardi, opera hat manufacturers.
There is conhlct of testimony to the rea-
CiOnsnlp existing between these men, some
auegng tnat 1t was peaceful and pleasant,
others Others stating the contrary; put the ties,
profitable. Whatever may be true as to the
motives 1t is certain that Bari, who the head
dissolve his connexion with the firm some two
months ago About q week ago Tarchlni met
street, where the latter boarded, and there was
then very excited and very angry talk, and 1t Is
known that it was about business, and the way in
Barli lett the firm he has been doing
business in Broome street, near Broadway, and
there is reason to suppose that his meeting with
Tarchinl yesterday morning was not accidental,
put medated, and probably With predetermna-
resided on the west side Of town, namely, No. Isl
West Houston street. near Varlck and was going
to his place OF business when he met Barli, Bari
VINO accOsted him. There are several Witnesses to
the shooting and all say that previous to the firing
angry words passed from one to the other. Bar,
from bis pocket and shot Tarchini In the
breast, the ball passing into the body.
whereupon Barn placed The muzzle Of the revolver
near his right temple and fred. He ell dead be-
SIDE SIDE his lieless victim and crowd speedily gath

was sitting at the desk, and he Immediately des-
female as prisoner to see where the shooting
was message was speedily afterwards sent to
the station house that the stretcaers
bodies were taken there to await the action
OF Coroner WOltman, who was Immediately
notified at the COrOners' office OF the dreadful cir
cuulstance On the arrival OF the Coroner the
! bodies we're searched and on Tarchini was found
500 10, sixteen gold English s0vereigns and gold
watch and chain. Bar had SO 81, a snuff box and
some other small articles Of little value. For
! purposes of medical examination the bodies were
sent to the Morgue, but the friends Of both of the
| deceased will undoubtedly claim their remains Tor

was thirty-slX years old. He leaves widow and two
small children. Bar was fifty years OF age. He was
unmarried and had boarded at the Hotel de Roma,
IN Houston street. The inquest will be held to-day
at the CorOne-s' office. The fellOw-wOrKmen of
! Bar1, who called at the station house could not
believe that 1t was Barlt who had committed the
murder. They said he was too inOifensive; be
could not speak word OF English, and they als0
say that this was difficulty sometimes and caused
HIM annoyance, put That he always bore 1t good
naturedly They were therefore at loss to &C
count Tor the outbreak OF so dreadful q spasm Of
passion as that which they were compelled to hear
! about from the police, His late partner, Mr.. Sic
ardi. gives different version to this. He says
| that Barli was man Of violent temper and
that he was de termined to have his own way, and
and that Bari conceived great dislike to Tarchinl
in consequence, and that Tarchini had told him
that Bari had frequently threatened him. Tarchinl,
however, took no notice Of these threats and re-
garded them as idle words, and thought that time
| would heal all differences. Barli had evidently
given up all idea OF ting with his late partner,
Tor he had applied to Mr.. Dunlap to take him back
again into his employment, and Mr.. Dunlap had
promised to do so IN the fall.
