liam Sailing, a young white man, residing
at 1911 Winter street.
Four young men had been out carousng,
and about midnight stopped in front of 8 Ia
Lombard street, which is a tenement house,
and began quarreling. Ida Lawson, one of
the inmates, demonstrated, and the men
began abusing her. Anderson came to her
defense. The men crowded around him, and
one of them struck him on the head with q
blunt instrument, telling him to the ground.
Two of the men after making jesting illusions
to the man being dead. covered Anderson
with ashes from a barrel standing on the
curb. All four then ran up Lombard street.
Officer Bell and Sub-Oficer Bennett, OF
the Nineteenth District, were going to the
station house to report, and, hearing the
cry, followed and arrested Sailing and
Charles Buck, of 16 South Seventeenth
street. The other two went in another
direction and escaped. Mrs. Lawson and
two neighbOrs carried Anderson into the
house, when he was found to be dead. Mrs.
Lawson went at once to the station house
and there identified Sailing as the man who
had struck the fatal blow. The other two
men will be arrested to-day. Anderson's
skull was fractured.
There was hearing of Buck and Sailing
at the Nineteenth District station house
this morning. Magistrate List committed

men are still at large. One Of them is
brother OF Buck and the other IS Samuel

HIS WIFE CHOKED TO DEATH.
Stephen Zienthouski. a Pole, who has
been living for the past eighteen months in
two-story brick house at the northwest
corner of Tilton and Emory Streets, was
arrested yesterday by Officer John Whit
son, of the Eleventh District Upon the
charge OF numbering his wife, Francesca
Zienthouski, yesterday morning, by chok-
ing her to death.
Mrs. Zienthouski WAS found dead upon
her bed yesterday afternoon with her
checks, chin, forehead and throat black
and yellow, and her tongue protruding
from her mouth. As Zenthouski has been
in the habit OF beating and quarreling cons
stantly with his wife. and as Mrs. Kachelski,
who lives in the same house, saw him
choking her against the wall last Saturday,
it is supposed by the police that the
woman met her death at the hands OF her
husband. Although the house bore all the
evidences Of poverty, Zienthouski had $500
in his pocket when arrested. He was very
much excited. He was locked up i'll the
Eleventh District Station House, but
protests his innocence of the crime.
The Coroner will investigate the case.

the neck cut from ear to ear and Il deep
cash in the thigh, was found yesterday by

cred basket. on an open lot, at Twenty
first and Dauphin streets. When Special
Officers Fulton and Runion examined the
body they found it frozen stiff.
An old colored man stopped late last
night at the station house on Broad street
and Lehigh avenue, and said he saw
young woman stop at the lot, look across
it and then hurry away.
