BLOODY DESIRES.
They Are Satisfied and Widow
and Five Children Left as the Re-
sult.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The desire of
Martin O'Brien, a brawny beef hauler,
employed in this city and living in
Brooklyn to be revenged on William
Oliver, was satisfied yesterday after
noon. Oliver is dead, O'Brien fugi-
tive. A widow and five children are
left destitute by divers death.
O'Brien is known as the most power
full of the strong men who inhabit
Greenpoint. He is more than six feet
tall, weighs 225 pounds, and has a
reputation for fighting. His victim
was industrious, quiet and of small
physique. The men were friends al
though not intimate. O'Brien had a
quarrel two months ago with an aged
neighbor, Michael gives, and Oliver
interfered when the beef hauler at
tempted to strike the old man. For
this O'Brien swore revenge. The men
did not meet again until yesterday.
Oliver was employed in the Continental
Iron works. He went to the shop,
yesterday, to do some work for his
brother and was returning to dinner
when, as he was crossing q street near
his home O'Brien rushed upon him.
1t is believed he was lying in wait for
Oliver
Without a word, O'Brien dealt Oliver
a terrific blow with his fist. Oliver fell
and without even a look at the pros
trate man O'Brien leisurely walked up
Oak street and boarded a car. That
was the last seen of him.
An ambulance was sent for, but the
surgeon who responded to the call pro-
nounced Oliver dead.

other notable cases referred to are the

members of his church defamatory
postal cards through the mails; the
arrest of e. NJ. Blore, formerly ex-
press messenger on the line of the

The cases of Daniel Dwyer ct al. VS..
the Salt Lake City Copper Manufac-
turing company, Otto Stalmann, ap-
pellant; and Ricy H. Jones, appellant,
VS.. the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, B. H. Jones, interpleader, re-
spondent, and R. Davis Jones, inter
pleader, appellant, were argued in the
state supreme court yesterday and
taken under advisement.
The first named cause was brought
in the Third district court by Dwyer &
Cosgrove against the copper company,
claiming a sum of money as due them
for material supplied, and they sought
to establish a mechanics lien therefor
upon the real property of that COM
pany.
They made a number of parties de-
PENDANTS in the suit, among whom
were the appellant, Otto Stalmann,
and the appellee, Abraham Hanauer,
trustee. The appellant Stalmann filed
his answer and also filed a cross COM
plant, claiming Of the copper COM
pany $3,775 as due him for wages as an
employee of that company, and sought
to establish and enforce his mechanic
lien for same as against the plaintiff
and all the other defendants.
The default of the copper company
was duly entered for want of answer
to the cross complaint. The defendant
Hanauer, trustee, filed an answer, de-
nying all the material allegations of
the cross complaint, and set UP a
trust deed to him from the copper
company, and which he claimed was
the first lien on the property on which
the mechanics liens were claimed.
He also pleaded that about May l.,
1894, a contract in writing had been
made between Stalmann and the cop
per company by which Stalmann
waived all claims against the copper
company for wages accrued to him
prior to the date of said alleged con-
tract.
Judgment was rendered in the lower
court in favor of Stalmann for $964.65,
and that he had first lien on the
plant for that amount, but was not
entitled to lien for the sum of $1,000
balance claimed by him. From this
judgment Stalmann appealed.
The arguments were made by Judge
Ellis and Loofbourow for the appellant
and by Attorney Frank Pierce for the
respondent.

In R. H. Jones VS.. the New York Life
Insurance company, the plaintiff sued
to recover s., 800 upon an insurance pol
icy issued on the life of Lewis H.
Jones. The company answered that B.
H. Jones and R. D. Jones each claimed
the insurance money; that it was ig-
norant of the respective rights of the
claimants, and asked to be permitted
to pay the money into court and be
discharged. The court below granted
the prayer of the insurance company,
who paid the money into court, in
GLIDING interest and costs, and was
discharged. Appeal was taken to the
supreme court by R. II. Jones, who
wanted absolute judgment in mis-
favor. The judgment of the lower
court was affirmed and afterwards the
present rehearing was granted
Attorney John NJ. Zsne made the
argument for the appellant and Attor-
ney Frank Pierce for the respondent.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-Man has
conquered the sweeping flood of waters
at the Golden Gate. Charles Caville
yesterday afternoon swan from shore
to shore, accompanied by a fleet of sail
boats and many screaming steamers
and tugs When his feet touched the
sand at Fort Point and he stood UP and
bowed to the multitude, the occupants
of almost nunberless row boats added
their cheers to the toot of the whistles.
Caville is said to be the first and only
man who ever accomplished the feat
of swimming from shore to shore where
the bay and ocean meet. Caville was
one hour and fifteen minutes in swim
ming across the gateway of waters.
The distance straight across is only
about one and quarter miles, but be-
fore his feet touched bottom on the op-
posite shore Caville had swan seven
miles.
The tide-a very strong ebb stream
did it. He went into the water at $3.50
and at 4:45 he walked ashore on the
other side. Throngs of spectators dot
ting the heights applauded the finish.
