The monotonous quiet that has prevailed
in police as well as other circles has been
broken since the Democratic convention, and
the very spiri: of misrule seems to have
broken loose. In the recorders court yes
terday morning there were eleven civil, and
two state cases. The cases were all for minor
otfenses, with the exception of the charge
against NJ. Antoine, for keeping disorderly
house, who was hued $50 and costs,-Sun-
day about IL o'clock u stabbing ARRAY oc-
Cured on Broadway, near the intersection of
Nineteenth street, III which colored man,
William Faulkner, was dangerously cut in
the left side, in two places, by Menard
Childs. Faulkner was conveyed to the hos
pital, where his wounds were examined by DR..
Wilcox, the assistant surgeon, who pro-
nounced them serious and possibly fatal.
The most dangerous wound is in the left side
of the chest, between the eighth aud ninth
ribs is about an inch in length and five
inches deep, extending to the lower lobe of
the lung. About six inches above this is an
other wound, but it is slight Childs was
arrested soon after the stabbing by VIM. p.
Owens, deputy sheriff, and viii have pre-
liminary examination before Esquire john
son, next Saturday, if Faulkners condition is
such as to enable him to appear.
Chids gives this account of the cutting:
al heard row down NJ the corner and went
down that way 10 Gee what it was about.
Bill Faulkner was quarrelng with woman
about his washing. Pretty soon he came
toward me with plank, and wanted &c
know if | had anything to do with it; |
answered no. when he raised the plank in a
threatening manner, and said you yellow
- you'd better not have;' | said I'm not
what you called me- then he came at me
again and tried to hit me with the plank. The
woman caught and tried to hold him, and
by that time / had got my knife
out and when he came at me, l
showed him off and cut him." Faulkner
declares, however, that he made no assault
on Childs, and does not know why he should
have stabbed him. He, however, dsdained to
go into..a lengthy statement. The hypothe-
sis, however is, that q woman is ut the bot
tom OF it. Being colored, it ispresumed that
both became enamored Of the same dusky
beauty, and 10 whites determined TO settle
the matter in the best satisfactory manner
-George Holden and Daniel Williams,
two other gentlemen Of color, had aquarrel
Saturday night for the SANE cause. Hol'
den is a low treacherous scoundrel,
who, few weeks ago, was
arraigned before the recorder, for abusing
and maltreating his wife-and fined. Holden
then swore he would never live with woman
that had him arrested, and has since been
stopping at his half brothers, an officer on
the police force. Saturday night, however,
he visited his wife's residence, for the pur'
pose of getting a..pair of shoes, but ostensibly
to get up a row. He claimed that she used
her persuasive cuts to get him to return and
live wit her, but he positively declined TO
do so. Williams, who had taken up his
abode there, objected to this sr.
rangement, when words ensued
between Holden and him, who told the
young man to keep quit or he would put
head on him The wordy warfare Waxed
warm, when both started for the police sta
ton, where each preferred charges against
the other and were notified to appear Mon-
day morning. After leaving the station
Holden waylaid Williams and threw him
down upon the pavement and choked him.
Williams begged Holden to let him up, and
he would 90, get his clothes and never set his
foot in his house again. Williams went TO
the gate leading to the house and called to
Mrs. Holden to bring him his clothes,
and while waiting for her to do so, Holden
slipped up behind and struck him a
powerful blow from behind with paling
that cut cash in his head over the right
ear, and telling him sensesss TO the ground
Holden Immediately after this repaired to
the police station and wanted an officer sent
TO arrest Williams fer committing an aggra-
waited assault upon him. Being told to come
in the morning and prefer the charge, he
left. Holden had scarcely got clear OF the
confines of the station before Williams ap.
peared, presenting n CHASTITY sight, and
charged Holden vita Committing MI unpro'
voked assault upon him. An Office
was Immediately dispatched to bring
bis assailant in, which was done, and
Holden was held in custody until sun
day morning. During Sunday he and Will
liams met, became friends, and yesterday
morning they appeared and refused to prose
cute, each contributing sou toward Ihe
city's exchequer. Levi Watkins, color
ed youth, who appropriated the watch Of
