BREAKING HIS HEAD ON CURBsToNE.

:, James Meyers, colored man who has been in
for the last nine months left his situation SATURDAY.
to return to his home in Florida. Wishing to make
some purchases before sailing, he went to Fulton-st
c0osted by James Fay sailor, living in Emer-
ald-st. Fay, who was intoxicated and was stran-
ger to Meyers. applied vile epithets to him. Wish
ing 10 avoid trouble Meyers and his friend went INTO
a shoe store near . by and Meyers purchased
Fay standing by the door, and he at once sprang
at Meyers SEEING him By the coat collar Meyers
struck him, telling him to the sidewalk. In falling
Fay struck the back Of his head on the curbstone,
fracturlng his skull. Meyers was arrested shortly
after and Fay was removed to his house.
Late Saturday evening DR.. Trask, who was called
to attend the injured man, informed Coroner Darun
OF Long Island City, that Fay's injuries would prove
fatal, and the Coroner went to Fays house to take
his ante-mortem statement, but found him so low
that lie could not give an Ineligible account of the
aifray. Yesterday Coroner Darun committed Mcy-
ers 70 the Queens County Jail. Fay was alive last
evening but his physicians give hopes of his re-
cOVery.
