going to wOrk. The passage OF blows
in these works is IN unusual thing.
The killing Of a man, for such was the
result of the atlair, thus briefly drScrib-
ed, was we'll calculated to create the
widest excitement III the establish
ment.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
The man who did the shooting was
Morris Carbcrry, q Waterman at the
rolling mill. His victim was Samuel
Adams, a cOlOred man and workman
by contract about the place. Carbrrry
came on duty at i O'Clock. He is il day
watchman, aud he came at the usual
tim" to relieve the watchnAu who had
been on duty all night. Adams came
to his work about 6.l1 O'Clock. He
walked up to the door III the north west
end Of the building At this place he
was met by Thomas NcCatfrrty, under
whom he is employed. McCatlrrty
told him to come IN and 90 to work,
giving him some Instructions about his
work. Adams hcStatrd before coming
in. "If come through this door,, said
he, ''tlat man will stop me" Adams
meant that Carbcrry would stop him.
Carbrrry is stationed al this door and
his orders are to let no one come in but
those who have to 20 through ON buSi-
ness.
"No, he won't stop you,' said Nc
Clatterty, 80 i'll here and get to work
at the cutter and let me see how you do

thority in that part of the building, star
ted to go into the mill. He had Just
put his foot oven. the threshold, when
Carhrrry jumped up and came forward
angrily crying for him to 20 back.
"lou Shant come in here, Iou'v We got
to 90 around the other way" 81 am
going III here, he told me IL" was the
tirm answer of Adams, indicating Me
Clatterty, who stood near by, and he
again started to come i'll.
At this Carberry made Il step nearer
with an oath. "No, by -- you
are not coming through here" and Us
he uttered the words he put his hand in
his hip pocket and drawing it ont
FLOURISHED A PISTOL
in front of him. Up to this time no
one had any fears Of serious trouble, be-
cause these scenes We're being constant
ly enacted between Carberry and the
workmen. Some had Il vague apprc
hension that there would be trouble,
but no one thought the affair would
have the terrible ending that came
about in very short time.
Adams stepped back into the open
air, stopped and picked up ~ piece OF
iron. As he did so he told Carberry
that he had often stopped him from
going through the door, and he had
pointed the pistol at him on two or
three occasions. "Now" he concluded,
''you had better put that up for | am
going in" And he at once started
through the disputed doorway. But he
only made two steps and then Carberry
took quick aim and
FIRED THEPGSroL.
As he fred he cried out, "you will go
back, ,-yUu." As the sharp crack
sounded above the rumhling Of the
heavy mill machinery, just being put
into motion, Adams cIutched wildly
at his left breast. staggered back Il step
and then tottcred toward the murderer
making passage at him ds he did SO
with the piece OF iron he held III his
hand.
Carberry struck at his victim and
turned 10 McCaiterty saying, "Here
take this pistol" "No l won't" was
the reply. Then Carberry tossed the
weapon aside and grappled with the
H., In oh la m
hard blows in the face in quick success
sion, and as the wounded man sank
back with half gasp, half groan he
struck him again. He fell and never
spoke again.
The alteration between the two men
had consumed about five minutes
and it was then five or ten minutes OF
seven o'clock when the shot was fired.
A large number of the workmen saw
the whole affair, and there was gen
eral howl of Indignation against Car
berry. The man saw that he was in
great danger, and realizing the enor-
nifty of what he had done, slipped out
of the mill and started across the lot at
a half run.
THE MURDERER'S FLIGHT.
Carberry with u scared look on his
face passed the office OF the Company
and went out into the street looking
back in frightened way to see If he
was pursued. He walked rapidly up
the street to the saloon Of Charles Cam
non at Heald and Apple streets, went
through the bar room without IL word,
and passed up stairs. He appears to
have realized that he was in danger of
an angry mob, and his desire was more
to escape violence at the hands OF
Adams fellow workmen, than to elude
the officers of the law.
The murderer once up stairs, hoisted
the window looking out toward the
Delaware, and passed out upon the shed
roof. From here he passed along to the
shed of Mr.. Edwards, whose house is
adjoining, and finally came to stop on
the roof of William Elliotts house,
three doors above. Here he crouched
down: but if his intention was to elude
observation, this was fruitless, for a
number had followed him to Cannon's
saloon with their eyes. Mr.. Cannon
had seen him enter, and Others had seer
him emerge upon the roof.
A DESPERATE CROWD.
While the fearful wretch was thus
hiding himself in false, but fancied Sc
orr;+y an angry crowd was formed
