two men engaged in tussle on the porch Of the
house in question. The parties were william
Buckley, produce dealer, and George W..
Black, a clerk in the pension office. The
former had Black by the throat and seemed to be
choking him. Tho arrival Of OHiccrs Grant aud
Muttiugy caused cessation Of hOstilties and The
two men were taken to tho sixth precinct station,
followed by curious crowd IN which the fair sex
was strongly represented. At the station Buckley
charged Black with committing an assault upon
him aud with trcspassing on his promises. lie
was very much excited and denounced Black in
unmoasurcd terms as n sCouudrel, stating that he
had destroyed his domestic happlnes by
alternating the affections OF his wife. Lieutenant
Greer locked Black up until yesterday morning,
when he was released on $40 collateral for his APP

great deal of excitement IN the neighbOfhOOd,
and the gossips had a topic of unusual interest,
which they diloted upon aud rolled under their
tongues as Il choice mOrsel. As soon rs released
