George Washington Gibbons, hand

Old. Of 100 West Forty-first street, was
stabbed twice in the back and once In

known an ''Dusky" Maggie Davis, while

also prisoner on q charge of disorderly

mouse. and will be arraigned in Jeffer-
son Market Police Court tomorrow
morning.
The only cause assigned for the stab.
hing is jealousy. Gibbons has been pay

the neglect of Maggie.
Gibbons was watching a quarrel be.
tween two boys over the distribution OF
tirecrackers which occurred in front Of q
South Fifth avenue tenement.
While leaning on an iron railing lis

her hand. She drove the blade twice in

At the same instant a colored boy
ran up. and the woman passed the
bloody weapon to him. The boy then
disappeared.
1t Is supposed thai. he was confederate
OF the woman. and was there to assist
her In killing the colored walter.
A big crowd quickly assembled. and
among the number was Policeman
Logan. Of the Macdougal street station.
He saw Maggie Davis leading the tot.
tering Gibbons down the street. She
was asking Gibbons If she had cut him
He was too much injured to reply. They
were then both taken to the station
house.
There Davis claimed she was Gibbons's
wife. He denied 1t. however. but said hi
had known her a long while, and tina
she was jealous OF him.
The woman said she lived at 1884,
BleeCker street. and to the last denied
that she had cut Gibbons.
The latter was attended by an am.
bulance surgeon at the station house
and then sent to the hospital.
The police are looking for the boy wht

Wild Rumor Regarding the Brook
Iyn Bridge Trainmen.

1t was reported last night that the
trainmen on the Brooklyn Bridge had
been ordered out on strike and that
the order would go into effect at mid
night. Some OF the cars on the bridge
were built by the Pullman Company.
and the strike was to be sympathetic

There are 100 bridge trainmen, but only
forty OF them belong to the knights OF
Labor. The others for the most part
are members of The Junior order of
American Mechanics. which The Knights
OF l.nhur are said to regard as beng
artngonistic to their order
The bridge men are paid s2.76 per day
and provided with uniforms, and as
nearly three hundred applications have
been filed by men anxious to take their
places, the probability OF any strike is
very remote.
