FATAL JEALOUSY.
Desperate Conflict Between Two Ne.
RrOes-One Fatally SIRbbed-Tfm
Hopes Enthusiastic Tramp
OF Three MiIes.

Sunday, about twelve O'Clock, two ne
! grOes, Charles Cook and Clarke
M'Glewen had difficulty in which the
| former received wounds that will doubt
| less prove fatal. So far as we have been
| able to learn, it seems that some time ago
| Cook and M'Glewen fell in love with a
| fascinating Dinah, who, without pausing
to think what wrong she might inflicJ
upon her two lovers, engaged herself to
| both of them. They visited her upon
alternate evenings, but one day they
MET BY CHANCE.
Since then they have cherished for
each other a personal enmity, which
| last Sunday eliminated in 8 serious diff
ficulty. Charles Cook visited M'Glew-
EMS house, which is on Poplar street,
three miles from the city, and asked him
several "leading questions" respecting
the negress at whose shrine they were
wOrshippiDg. The effect of this Jealous
questioning and cross-eXamination as to
the sincerity and honesty of M'GIewen's
professions aroused the anger of the lat
ter, who determined to wreak vengeance
upon bis foe, For this purpose he seized
garden-hoe, with which he
ASSAULTED COOK.
The latter in the meantime had drawn
forth big knife, and with this trusty
instrument as his friend, was eager to
engage in the rencontre. With one
blow of the hoe M'Glewen
FELLED COOK TO THE GROUND,
but unfortunately for the assaiIant the
handle was broken by coming in con-
tact with his enemy's head. Cook
quickly regained his feet, and with the
drawn knife rushed upon M'Glewen,
who endeavOred to defend himself with
the broken handle Of the hoe. In this
effort he did not succeed, for Cook
warded off the blow and buried the
blade OF the knife in his left shoulder,
and then cut him in the arm. The
third blow buried the knife in MGlew-
ems neck, almost severing the wind
pipe, and the wounded man, now driven
to desperation, endeavored to clutch the
fatal blade, already besmeared with his
blood. In this he succeeded, and Cook
accidentally thrust the knife through
the wrist of his LETT hand, with
which he was holding M'Giewen. At
the sight Of the blood leaping from his
own wrist, Cook ceased further attempt
to ED the life Of his victim, who
HAD FALLEN EXHAUSTED
upOH VIC SIOuuus 1uI6S negro ul6l,
who had witnessed the fight, carried
M'Glewen into the house anjE sent for
physician to dress his wounds. By this
time Cook had lost large quantity of
blood, and, being too weak to walk, laid
down on the ground. The three negro
men then took charge of Cook, and
brought him to the ADMINISTERED sta
tiOn-hOuse, whence he was yesterday
sent to the city hospital.
TIM HOPES HOT WALK.
Turnkey Tim Hope, whose efficient
services the public so well appreciate,
upon learning of the desperate fight, de-
termined to arrest M'GIewen. With
this commemorate motive as an inspira-
ton for peripatetic exercise, Tim Hope
started for M'Glewen's residence, three
miles distant. Upon reaching there,
after hot and painful walk, he found
M'Glewen too badly wounded to admIt
Of removal. OF course this was a great
disappointment to Tim Hope, whose Of
fetal zeal had induced him to hope flr
anything else. However, Tim Hope re-
turned without his prisoner, and has
since then been as silent as dry-land
terrapin, for if he did go there he does not
tell anyone.
