Towards 10 o'clock last evening a desperate
ARRAY occurred at the bagnio of Maggie. Morse,
on Hill street, which created considerable ex-
element in that establishment, and in the
neighborhood. The principal actors in the
transaction were Maud Murdoch one of the in
mates, a prepossessing girl of about 49, and
Rose, or Rosenblatt, the runner for Chicago
wholesale house,. Rose. who arrived in the CITY
but recently. visited the house last evening.
He engaged in conversation with Maud, which
soon developed in badinage. The conversation
OF the Chicago gentleman soon became SO
vulgar, and SO personal, that the girl none too
punctlllous as to language, it we may Judge
by her vocation, considered herself insulted,
and attacked her visitor savagely with her fists
and nails. She was taken off by the other in
mates of the establishments. and left the room.
apparently satisfied. 1t seems, however, that she
went to her room and procured dagger, with
a blade about three inches long, with which
she returned to the sitting room, and with the
saVageness OF tiger sprang upon Rose. Be-
| fore she could be dragged off She had inflicted
SIX stabs IN her adversary's right shoulder and
one IN his left wrist, from which the blood
flowed freely, saturating his clothing and
! plentifully besprinkling the furniture Of the

| advised to quit the house, which he did pre-
| cipitately.
| After having his wounds dressed at a con-
venient drug store, Rose repaired to the police
| station to enter complaint. Finding no one
| in authority present, he departed without
lodging the information. But Capt. Clark
coming up few moments subsequently ascer-
tanned the nature of the case, and at once pro-
ceeded to Maggie Morse's place to make an
| investigation. Ascertaining the facts he told
Maud he would have to arrest her. ARREST
and be ID was the response, and taking a
case knife from her bosom she flung it
on the floor. Very unwillingly, and
resisting the officer at every step,
she was conveyed to the police station. In
generated in cell she became even more
violent, and besought the officers for knife
or pistol with which to take her life. At a
later hour, when she was visited by reporter
of the GLOBE, she somewhat calmer but
avowed that she would not live till morning.
| She had never before been subject to such in
suits as Rose had offered her, and if such was
to be her portion she preferred to leave the
world.

chants, as there are no accommodations for the
care of the wounded at the station
The affair was thoroughly disgraceful from
beginning to end, and if the stories told are
true, it is hard to decide whether or not Rose
deserved the treatment he received,
