to Murder In Boston.
An atrocious murder, deadly stabbing
afray, aud the death of young woman
by suicide, Us the record in Chicago up to
midnight. A Greek, giving the name Of
Nicholas Jones, who was . waiter at q res.
taurant on South Halstead street, was
fatally shot about o'clock Thursday
morning by ono of . party Of four un-
known men, who had refused to pay for
their breakfast they had ordered. The
men had finished their meal, which had
been served in tho side room, when the
waiter observed one of them take his hat
and slip out on the street. He was about
to go in pursuit of him when one of the
remaining three exclaimed with an oath
that they would see that the bill was set
tied. Presently the three started up to
leave the restaurant, when Jones took
hold of the man who had promised the
bill and demanded a settlement. Walsh,
the proprietor coming to his assistance,
two Of the roughs passed through the
screen doors out on the sidewalk, and one of
them drew revolver, leveled it at Jones
and fired. The ball passed through the
walters breast, making bad wound. He
fell in the arms of Mr.. Walsh. and died
from internal hemOrrhage in Is minutes.
The men ran and disappeared as soon as
the shot was fired. An hour later four
men were arrested, and on one of them,
Eugene Daugherty, a notorious thief and
thug, the murder is unqucstiOnably fixed.
He has been out Of the pcnitentiary but =
few days, having been there for two years
for robbery.
Late last night William johnson was
stabbed twice in tho right breast with a
chisel in tho hands of James Clarkin. The
upper lobe of the right lung was severed,
and the wound is undoubtedly mortal.
Clarkin, u carpenter by trade, has been a
frequent and not always welcome visitor
at JOhnsOn's house. On Sunday he made
himself obnoxious by his familiarity. Last
evening some words passed between
Clarkin and johnson, the latter, who was
with friend threatening his life. Clarkin
went to a saloon and obtained the chisel.
johnson followed him q second time and
Clarkin plunged the cl,isel into his breast.
Minnie Blakesly, 81 years of age, living
with her mother, took 20 grains of NOR

eral doctors were called, but after labor
ing with her several hours, pronounced
the case hopeless and she died soon after.
Mrs. Blakes]y and her daughter were eau
vassers for the sale of light stationery. SO
Letting chiefly about the board Of trade,
where they were we'll known. Some time
ago Miss Blakesly met a young man, a
clerk, and fell in love with him, but the
affection was not returned. and for some
months she has been melancholy and des
pondent. In all sho took 81 grains ol
morphine in three doses. Tho following
note written by the Gead girl to her moth
er the day before her death is probably
tho best expression that could be given Of
the condition of her mind during her last
hours

or anyone. Don't spend any money te

me as gentleman should.
