Bloody Street ARRAY in New York.
New YORK, May 14th-About $50 to-
night an alteration occurred between
Lany O'Brien, well-known broker and
politician, and George L. Trueman, sport
ing character belonging to Chicago The
former was probably fatally stabbed, and
the latter was shot twice. The affray was
the outcome of quarrel. Tonight O 'Brien
met Trueman on the corner of Broadway
and Twenty-seventh street, and accused
him of attempted blackmail. The remark
enraged Trueman, who gave utterance to
some strong language. His remarks so
exasperated O'Brien that he lifted his cane
and struck the other man heavy blow on
the head, when without warning Trueman
drew murderous-looking bowie knife and
plunged it into his opponents abdomen,
inficting q cash eight inches long. A
policeman Immediately arrested Trueman,
and while in the custody of the Off
Ger a pistol shot was heard, and bull
let from O'Brien's revolver lodged in
the prisoners back. He broke away from
the officer, and second bullet from the
same source lodged in Trueman's left
shoulder. Both men were taken to the
Twenty-ninth Precinct police station, and
were thence removed to the New York
Hospital. The excitement in the locality

The Columbia and Harvard Race.
NEW YORK, May l4th.-The coming class
races between the four eight-oared crews
of Columbia and Harvard, which will be
rowed Saturday, creates considerable inter
est The Columbians have not yet chosen
their University crew TO compete with Har
ward, and it is believed that the twenty am
bilious Columbians who are seeking place
therein will be kept in impotence until
after the class races are rowed, when the
selection will be made Messrs Richards
(No. ~ Donnelly (No. 81 and Lockwood
(stroke), of the Freshman crew of last year,
will probably have places on the University
crew Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Crowles,
stroke of the University crew of SO, and
Mr. Peet, stroke Of the same crew, hereto
fore with Mr.. Lockwood, are candidates
for the position of stroke this year The
last named gentlemen will belong to the
crew in any event, but neither of the two
other gentlemen will have places unless
selected as stroke. Mr. Hart, of the last
Freshman crew, will also probably be
among the number chosen for the eight.
Mr. Ward, who rowed as a substitute in
the last Freshman crew, is trying for a
position on the University crew.

Outlawry in Virginia Mining Districts.
PocAHoNTAs (Na.), May 14th-Lawless-
ness has suddenly developed in the mining
| district of TaZewell county, and outrages OF
| the most fragrant character are almost daily
occurring in the isolated mountain country
of the Cumberland region. The methods
of the outlaws lead to the inference that
| they are fugitive Molly Maguires who were
driven from Pennsylvania. The Southwest
| Virginia Improvement Company, which is
| extensively engaged in coal and iron pro-
duction, has apparently aroused the hatred
| of the lawless characters, and valuable
property belonging to them is being de-
stroyed. The mysterious assassination OF
mine bosses Brown and Martin has caused
no little excitement, and open threats OF
| lynChing have been made by the incensed
| citizens. Investigation has developed the
| fact that a regularly organized band of ma
| rauders has its headquarters in the deep
| forests Of Wythe county, near Roanoke,
and considerable outlawry has been com
mitted by the night-riders. Within short
time these nomadic desperadoes have made
| overtures to disconnected miners and iron
| workers to join in grand and general
movement against the coal and iron opera
tors, and largely-attended secret meetings
have been held

LITITz pa May 14th.-An inquest was

ing, after throwing five of her children in
| a pond 1t was developed that Mrs Plantz
had intended to drown her seven children.
but only five of them consented to go with
her. The eldest boy, 10 years of age, slls-
pected that something was wrong, and fol-
lowed his mother. He is a good swimmer,
and succeeded in getting out of the water,
| one after another, four of the children and
his mother. The latter and her baby were
still alive, and while the little hero was at
tempting to resuscitate his sister the mother
again plunged into the water with her baby
and both were drowned.
