ALBANY, April 90 SpeciaD.-Out of the rassage
of Judge Grcenc's bridge bill grew a most dis
graceful affair in which Assemblyman =" Dam
Finn, struck New-York correspondent a cow
ardly blow from behind. After the adjournment
w. +. Elliott correspondent Of " The New-York
Times in company with number of members
walked out Of the Assembly Chamber laughing
and chatting the bill and making Jokes on
the money that every one supposes is in it for
those who stepped outside to see the members Of
the " third house." When Mr.. Elliott turned
partly around and said in joking way, Mr..
Finn, what was there for the boys?' the Assem-
blyman struck the young man in the face, break
ing the bridge Of his nose. The big slugger I'll
lowed this up with several blows on the face aud
neck Of Elliott The latter is not strong, and
the first blow staggered him and he could not
defend himself Finn used the most indecent
language, and was taken out of the Capitol by two
orderlies His action is severely criticised by his
friends, and all regret the occurrence.
Later in the afternoon Mr. Elliott and George
w. Spinney, another Times correspondent, went
to Finn's room in the Delavan House. Finn was
standing across the room from the door, and Mr..
Spinney stepped up and spoke to him in low
tone. Instantly the two men grappled. Finn
tried to gouge out Mr.. Spihney's eyes. He did
manage to tear his adversarys check with his
thumb-nail. Mr.. Elliott could not hold himself
and he turned on the First Warder with q heavy
walking stick of Hungarian vine, and he belabored
the slugger until the cane broke. Finn begged
for mercy, and the two young men finally let
up on him. He will probably be extremely care
full in future how he uses his fists.
