BOWIE KNEE AND PISTOL.
Serious Alteration in the Streets OF
New York.

Serious Alteration in the Streets OF
New York.
In an alteration in New York city between
"Larry" O'Brien, a well known broker and
politician, and George Trueman, sporting
character, the former was probably fatally
stabbed and the latter was shot twice. The
atray was the outcome of O quarrel between
the parties, and O'Brien met Trueman and nc.
cusod him of attempted backmail The re-
mark enrage6 Grueman, who gave ute rance
to some strong language. His remarks so ex.
asperated O'Bren that he lifted his cane and
struck the other man heavy blow on the
head. Without warning, Trueman drew II
murderous looking bowie knife and plunged it
into his opponents abdomen, inflicting a cash
eight inches in length. A policeman imme.
diately arrested Tucman, and while in the
custody of the officer pistol shot was heard,
and a bullet from O'Brien's revolver lodged in
the prisoners back He broke away from the
officer, and a second bullet from the same
source lodged in Trueman 5 left shoulder Both
men were taken to the 29th precinct police
station, and from thence removed to the New
York hospital. The cause OF the quarrel is
said to he an attempt on the part OF Trueman
to blackmail Wall street friend of O'Brien,
supposed to be Mr.. Kelly of Kelly & Bliss,
bookmakers. O'Brien is well known in New
York. He is a brother of ex-Congressman
James O'Brien, at one time q political leader
in New York.

which tho latter died. Stanton st ties that

The Cost of Living.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, an American
writer of note, has been estimating what
it would cost each individual for neces-
sary food of sufficient variety per day
and year; and also the value of the total
amount of food upon which the people
of the United States could subsist for
that time. He makes it four billion,
three hundred and forty millions of dol
lars annually for the whole people; and
for each individual, eighty-six dollars
and eighty-one cents per year; and only
twenty three cents and eight mills per
day for each person. He gives the fol.

Erightful Explosion of Nitro-GIycerinf
and Dynamite.
The town of Somerset, Pa, was shaker
from centre to circumference by a frghtiul ex.
plosion of nitro,glycerine and dynamite at
the Somerset chemical works, located one
mile east of the town on the farm of John
Lime. The explosion occurred in the nitro
glycerine agitatin2 house, where one of the
rropriotors, w. L. Beash of New York CITY,
was at work. He was blown into atoms.
The largest piece of bone, flesh or clothing
that could be found was not larger than a
silver dollar. Tho nitro glycerine building
with eight Others were strewn to the winds
portions of them being found miles away.
The works were situated in an opening in
n dense wood, the large trees of which were
uprooted and blown down for rods around by
the force of the explosion. From u to Is
men are employed at the works, but owing to
its being Ascension day, none of them were at
work. Where the building in which the ex-
plosion occurred stood there is a hole large
enough to bury the building in. There were
800 pounds of nitro-glycerine and 5000 pounds
OF dynamite in the different buildings. The
loss is very heavy. An explosion occurred

country, the competitors including buf.
faloes, elephants, goat, ram, emu and

horses. The elephants were as
placid as if moving in a marriage pro-
cession, and went over the course at a
quick walk. The ram and goat, ridden
by little boys, ran well, and the buffaloes
went at good gallop, but the emu
would not stir, neither would the elk,
until the end of the race, when 1t took
fright and darted down the course at
great speed. Finally, ram was tho
winner, horse coming second and a
buffalo third.

The railing accusations of Capt.
Hugh Lewis against the democratic
party seem to afford great comfort
and consolation to partisan republi-
cans in their dying hours. Nearly all
of our local republican exchanges
have copied Capt. Lewis's letter en-
tire and some of them have double
loaded editorial comments upon it.
The author who only few weeks
ago, had he been referred to at all
by the republican press would
have been denounced as poor de-
luded democrat, is now made to
stand forth as a republican saint
worthy Of canonization.
