Attamntad Murder.

| Another attempt at murder, without
any provocation, was made Friday even
ing in Bordentown. Andrew McCran,
aged about 80 years, murderously assault
ed Hebrew named Shapes Sanuesaher,
in Miles alley. with horse pistol loaded
with No. 6 shot. Sanuelsaher was seri-
ously injured about the body and side,
the whole load being shot into him. From
daughter of Sanuelsaher it was learned
that he was out at his hydrant, after COM
ing home from work, washing his face
and hands, when McCran, who lives next
door, came out of his back door with the
horse pistol in his hands and immediate
ly began to blaze away at him.
Drs. Gilbert, MacFarland and Ships
we're summoned Immediately and were
soon on the scene. They took care of the
injured man and declared bis wounds se-
rious. McCrsn was arrested and locked
up in the city Jail to await the action of
the local authorities. Later in the even
Ing a statement was made by the injured
man, charging McCran with the murder
GUS assault. McCran. when seen, had
nothing to say. He appeared to be suf-
fering from the effects of a protracted de-
bauch.
There was another assault on Saturday
night in brawl in the house of Fannie
Cole, colored. Charles Thomas, of Ches-
tertown, Md, was dangerously stabbed
four times in the back, and he is not ex-
pected to recover. Thomas boarded at the
house which stands at the corner of Bur
lington and Borden streets. In his ante
norton statement, taken by Mayor Gil
bert, he says that he returned to the
house between 10 and ii o'clock at night
and found in the parlor, besides Mrs.
Cole, Kitty Ashby, Charles Davis and
Henry Johnson, all colored. Thomas
did not fancy the presence of the other
two men, and said so. That started the
row. Suddenly Davis seized Thomas, the
latter says, and the light was at the same
instant extinguished.
Thomas struggled in the grasp of his
foe. but as he felt the cold steel of sharp
knife plunged repeatedly into his back,
he became weak and faint. The women
ran out into the street, screaming ''mur-
der !" and Davis and johnson fed. Thorn
as started to the Office of DIR. ]. S. Gil
bert, but fell in front of Trinity M. E.
Church and was then taken back to his
house. His wounds are all serious and
must have been inflicted with knife,
the blade of which was SIX inches long.
Mayor Gilbert. Marshal Jobes, Officer
Mullen and others, went in pursuit of
the negroes. and finally located them in
house at Kinkora, where they are en-
ployed as laborers in Murrell Dobbins'
brick yards. The officers were compelled
to break in the doors, and as they rushed
in, the negroes leaped from second
story window and escaped. johnson is
