The Knife Brought into Requisiti0n-.AT-
rest Of the Accused

Last night about o'clock difficulty
took place at the Poland Street Car
Station between two men, employees
Of the place, George Reiser and John
Roth, which terminated in the former
being stabbed and instantly killed by
knife in the hands OF the latter, who
was arrested and locked up In the Fifth
Precinct Station.
Our reporter visited the scene Of the
were present at the time Ct the
killing refused to say anything until
brought before the Coroner. From what
could be learned Of the affair, it appears
that these men had been under the in
fiuence Of liquor since morning. and had
been WrangIing together all day. At 3
O'Clock last night they were called upon
to hitch mule to one of the cars, when
some harsh and opprobious epishets
were used by John Roth toward George
Reiser, which reused his anger. and,
seizing shovel, dealt the former sew
eral blows over the head Roth, rccov-
erfng from the shock, advanced on his
opponent, and, seiZing a sheath knife,
which he carried in his girth, plunged
it into his antagonists left breast, i1
the region OF the heart, and George
Reiser reeled and fell a lifeIess corpse
at his muir Ierer's feet.
Our reporter interviewed the accused
at the Fifth Precinct, after DIR. Schu-
maeher had dressed his wounds, which
were severe though not dangerous, but
he refused to make a statement.
The deceased was native OF Alsace.
about forty years Of age, and had been
~
the Poland street station. He was
always considered to be quiet man,
whereas the accused was quite the other
way and was always looked upon as q
dangerous man, especially when under
the influence Of liquor.
The Coroner was notified and will
hold an autopsy to-day.

4 LIVELY SKIRMIsH.
Dissensions in the Camp Of the Faithful
Lgcien Adams and His San Dangerously
Wounded.

The campaign season is fast approach
ing; the Republicans are raIIying their
clans and the spring fights are
opening. Last evening quite a
lively skirrnish took place at
the Mechanics Institute and several
prominent members Of the Southern
Republican Club were d0Zed with some
physic in the shape Of cold lead, and
from all appearances some Of them will
be prevented from voting at the next
election. From what can be learned OF
this affair, it appears that several mem
to resign from the organization, and
this seemed pretty we'll understood
by the majority Of the club, and lively
time was expected and each man carried
a gun beneath his coat tail. ''The Re-
publicans are not cowards," of course
not, but they like TO be prepared in case
OF an emergency.
The meeting was finally called to order
and Lucien Adams, Sr,, took the chair.
The minutes Of the previous meeting
were read and about to be ap-
proved, when young Mr.. Creaeh
made certain objections tc them. This
brought Souer to the front, who inform
ed young Creagh that he had no right
to express his opinion concerning the
minutes, as be was about to be expelled
from the club. This reused the ire in
Patrick Creagh's breast, and he
opened war on Souer; words went
high, and the usual amount Of
swearing followed, when Mr. r. Creagh
was ordered to leave the room, which
he did, followed by his son and son-in-
law, John King. When arriving at the
door, Lucien Adams, Jr, struck Mr.
Creagh blow on the head with pair of
brass knuckles. Weapons were drawn
and promiscuous firing began
During the shooting John King was
shot twice, once in the right knee joint,
and once in the left hip. Lucien Adams,
Jr-, received a bullet in the pit Of the
stomach. Lucien Adams, Sr, was shot
in the right breast, two inches from the
nipple. At this juncture the gas was
turned out, and the Republicans scat
tered to the four winds.
Lucien Adams. Jr., was taken to the
Charity Hospital, where his wounds
were examined and pronounced very
dangerous, and at a late hour last night
his condition was not improved
His father, Lucien Adams, Sr, was
taken to his residence in a cab, where
he was attended by Dr.. Smythe, who
refused to give an opinion.
John King was conveyed to the Cen
trail Station, where he was examined
by the same physician, who pronounced
his wounds slight.
Colonel Loan placed all the wounded
men under arrest and put guard over
them.
1t was impossible to ascertain who
did the shooting, but Dame Rumor had
it that Mr. Patrick Creagh shot both Of

1t is not necessary to add that, the
premises considered, the Southern Re-
publican Club adjourned sine die rather
precipitately.

TEe Challenge of the Grand yury-Nine
Jurors Disqualified.

The proceedings in the United States
Circuit Court were witnessed by q very
large and interested audience, com
prising many Of the parties indicted for
whisky frauds. At the opening Of the
court the Grand Jury was ealled-twen-
ty-two jurymen answering to their
names. Mr.. Benedict, of the firm Of
Hornor & Benedict, on behalf Of Messrs.
S. W. Hammond, ". J. Behan, John

Whirter, the parties mentioned in the
plea Of the District Attorney, stated that
his clients were ready to challenge the
array Of the Grand Jury, and also the
individual jurors, under section $50, Re
vised Statutes. In order to simplify and
shorten matters, District Attorney Beck
with moved that section 821, Revised
Statutes, containing the oath relative
to the taking up of arms, or Of Joining
and abetting an insurrection against
the United States, be read to the jury
for their information, and that each
juror be asked individually whether he
could take the oath or not. The cath

VI. Blanc, A. w. Roundtree, Sam G..
Kreeger, Spencer Field, Jr., John Fl.
Keller and w. Hart declared themselves
as unable to take the oath. They were
at once discharged by Judge Woods,
and the oath administered TO the thIr-
teen remaining jurors.
Mr.. Beckwith then made motion
that the Marshal be directed to sum
mon a sufficient number of jurymen TO
complete the number required by law,
and meanW while wanted counsel for the
prosecution to challenge the array Of
jurors as it stood.
Mr.. Semmes, on behalf Of the de-
fense, objected on the ground that the
Grand Jury must be complete before
the challenge to the array Is made.
Mr.. Benedict, of counsel for the de-
fense, made motion to file an amended
plea to the indictments, the District
Attorney objecting.
Judge Woods ordered that the motion
be filed and fixed for hearing this morn
