MULDOON MURDERED.
Newspaper Man Killed by Brooklyn
Alderman.

National Associated Press to the Star
BROOKLYN, Nov. 8-A murder took place
in this city at noon to-day, during a quar-
REL in which w. H. Muldoon, of the New
York Star, was shot and instantly killed
by Alderman James Dunn. Both parties
belong in this city.
1t appears that Muldoon has been for
sometime past writing unfavorable articles
in the New York Star about McLaughlin's
hotel at Brighton Beach and also about the
Brooklyn ring
About four months ago a number of New
York Fourth Ward roughs were engaged to
waylay him, and he was stabbed and nearly
killed. Since then Muldoon has continued
to write articles against the Brooklyn ring.
This morning Muldoon and Alderman
Dunn, a supporter of the Brooklyn Ring,
met in a saloon. An alteration ensued,
and Dunn pulled out revolver and fatally
shot Muldoon.
Dunn was formerly noted pugilist and
had fought Elliott, Davis, Dwyer and
Olders Muldoon was we'll known, having
had the position of city editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle, also that of Police Property
Clerk.

business in Cincinnati had its birth In
the region of Pearl and Broadway, and al
though in its rapid growth it was forced to
spread westward, it is remarkable fact,
supported by statistics, that the solid busi-
ness center of the city has not removed five
squares away from the spot where it was
planted by the pioneers In their selection
it is apparent that they were influenced by
natural advantages, such as excellent drain
age, gravel foundations, dry cellars and
close communication with the river In
the establishment of railroad depots this
locality still possessed the advantage of be-
ing about equi-distant between them, and
it is quite possible that these important
the wholesale trade within the limits
bounded by Broadway and Race street and
Fifth street and the river.
Main street, which presents solid line
of business houses, from the base of tho
| hills to the river landing, is sometimes re-
| ferred to as waning in her glory, but the
statistics thoroughly repute this, as figures
fully establish the fact that this street
actually transacts more business in an I'M
ostentatous way, than any other threo
streets in the city. Within the past year
business and building within a few squares
of Main street, East and Wes', have re-
celFeu remarkable impetus, uue 10 greaS
extent, no doubt to the erection of the new
Custonl-house and Post-otfice, which will
have continual tendency in the future to
hold the solid, wholesale business jus! about
where it is.
Some of our enterprising and wealthy
citizens apparently have taken this view,
and are making Improvements Of considers
| BILE Importance.
Messrs Stribley 4 Co., of West Pearl
street, are erecting large boot and shoe es-
tablshment on Fourth east of Main.
| Mr.. Este will soon begin the construct
ion of galvanized iron colonnadc at Fourth
and Sycamore.
Mr.. Larz Anderson will erect an exten-
sive business block at Third and Main.
The Tobacco Exchange is to be esab-
lished at Fourth and Sycamore and
Spence Brothers are making large addi-
tions to their tobacco works on Third
Messrs. Glenn e. Sons are also making ex-
pensive improvements on Sycamore below
Fourth, and Mr.. John c. Short proposes to
expend at least $4,000 for repairs and ad-
diIions on the st. James Hotel, so that
property owners in that section have good
reason to be encouraged, and rejoice over
the brilliant prospects of the East End

MURDERED BY HIS PALS.
Andy Golfer, a Notorious Character,
Loses His Life in a Drunken Row.

About 4 o'clock this morning party of
rowdies who had been spending the night
in drinking and carousing, were put out OF
the saloon of Lou. Robinson, corner of
Longworth and Plum streets, where they
had become noisy and engaged in a general
row on the sidewalk, which resulted in the
death of one of their number, Andy Golfer.
Who struck the fatal blow is not yet
known, but from the disconnected stories uf
the parties arrested it is certain that Golfer,
for some reason unknown, was set upon by
the other parties, and after being severely
beaten about the head was left lying upoa
the sidewalk.
A few minutes later Golfer arose and
walked around the corner to Sixth street
when his strength giving out he lay down
in a hallway, and was found in this place
by Marketmaster Gould in an insensblp
condition.
He was then taken to the room of his
mistress, Lou. Johnson. above Hen.

last month. 1t was soon apparent, how
ever, that he was badly hurt, and he was
accordingly sent to the Hospital, where he
died at 10:30 o'clock. His worst wound
was fracture of the back part of his skull,
but he had bad cut and several severe
bruises on his head besides.
Golfer had the reputation of being one OF
the worst characters in the city. Twice he
had been in the Penitentiary, once for as
saulting his mistress and once for grand
larceny. He has also served several terms
at the Work-house. and at the present time
was out on bail on the charge of person
ating an officer. His history, as recorded
at the Hospital, gives his age at thirty-two
years. his occupation thief, a single man,
having resided in the city for life.
AS soon as his death was reported .he on.
GERS proceeded to the scene of the murde,
and IN a lew minutes had arrested Han
