RIOT AND BL0ODSHED.

Upon the Wedding Feast-All the
Result of a GOSH"

New York. Jan. IA rejected sutton
caused riot and bloodshed at the we'd
ding of the girl whom he had loved in
vain. The bridegroom and three guests
were stabbed before the police moved
upon the wedding feast. which had be
come a riot, and overpowered the en-
ragged and disappointed man.
The injured all of whom were cut in
the right arm, are:
Charles BarniSky. IS years old.
Michael Roman, the bridegroom.
Henry Roman, brother of the bride
groom.
Mary Zuppee.
The man with the knife was John Or
mis-. He is a tall powerfully built Hun
garian. He had woed Agnes Hafri and
at one time he thought that the girl
returned his love. Then Mr.. Roman
met Agnes. Soon Roman and Agnes
were bethothed and Ornis concealed
his chagrin and was first to congratu-
late the couple.
The wedding took place this evening
at the home of the bride, No. l1S Sheriff
street. The ceremony was over. The
feast was at its height. Everybody
was merry, and the spirit of the wine
lOoSened the tongues of the guests.
Then some one. who had forgotten all
prudence, turned to OTnlS and IN a JOk-
ing way ended him for his ill-luck in
not winning so fair a girl. a second
later that guest wished that his idle
words had never left his lips.
Ornis. who had been trying to conceal
his feelings. became on fire with anger.
He roared fierce hungarian curse and
drew clasp knife. He rushed first at
the groom. Roman dooged him and re-
treated into far corner.
a scene of the widest confusion fol-
lowed. The furniture was overturned,
women fed shrieking about the fiat.
Some of the men tried to overpOwer Ornis.
He cut right and left with the knife.
j he bride screamed and wept and begged
him for her sake to desst. Ornis made
his way to the bridegroom. Roman threw
up his right arm as a guard and received
a painful wound
Ornis then stabbed the bridegroom 8

certain period of years at fixed sum,
received d visit from d clerk of the
Aston estate. This young man brought
the lease along and said that 4 mistake
had been made in the rent
You have been paying US S95 q
month"; he said, whereas the rent
should be 1888. You have paid US
three months rent. Here is a check
for the difference due you
Then the young man explained that
all rents of AstOr residential property
are graded on . > per cent net basis.
A mistake had been made by the clerk
who had figured out the rent of This
particular house. but as soon as il was
discovered il was rectified.
Since William Waldorf Aston took up
his residence abroad he has established
Offices in London for the management
of his New York estate. He still main
tains the offices Of his father in West
Twenty sixth street near the corner
of Broadway. where tEa rent collectors
transact their business. All of the
executive work has been done in Lon
don. however for two years or more.
New York society people have al
ways looked upon William Waldorf
AstOr as a snOb. and that is one OF
tne principal reasons which induces
him TO say New York is no place for
a gentleman TO live in Personally he
IS a man VINO TepelS ali IllenQsnlDS-
He is dOmineering. eccentric, and TO
those who stand in his way, no matter
how just their position may be, abusive
and revengeful. He aspired to the die
tatOrship OF New York society on his
fathers death. but society laughed at
his claims.
He is a big man, six feet two inches
in height, with great breadth Of
shoulder. His mustache is a sandy
brown and his hair is the same color
His face would be handsome except
for the unpleasant. disconnected express
sion it habitually wears.
In the minds of society people here
there is little doubt that New York
has seen the last of him is d regular
resident. a great deal that is bCsh
has been printed about his marriage
to royalty, but it is believed that he
IS making serious efforts to secure
peerage. and his naturalization as an
Englishman would of necessity be the
first step in that direction
This accomplished. there would be no
obstacle to a realization of his hopes.
The great N1r. Pitt. when he was prime
minister Of Great Britain, once said
that every man VINO possessed an in
come of 100000 d year from English
land was entitled to claim a peerage
from the crown. On this basis Mr.
AstOr could claim a couple of score of
peerages by selling out here and in
vesting abroad.

Of the executive committee of the Re-
publican national committee, accom-
panied by his vii, both . whom were
on cordial terms of friendship with
General and Mrs. Grant, as we'll as
with Mr.. and Mrs Blaine, made an
evening call upon the former at their
home. Their reception was pleasant,
but not demOnstratiVe, and when the
four were seated in the drawing room
conversation seemed to lag. The ladies
sat side by side on a sofa; the men in
arm chairs side by side in the center
of the room. Occasionally a few words
would come from the sofa. and then a
few murmurS were heard from, the
place occupied by the men; but there
was more talk on the sofa than in the
arm chairs. After the lapse Of half an
hour or more, the visitors arose to
go and were not pressed to remain
longer. Reaching the street, the COM
mitteeman said to his wife:
What in the world is the matter
with General and Mrs. Grant? He
would not allow himself to get into
- versation with me. and you seemed
TO be having about as hard a time of
it on the sofa

of stairs at the Fifth Avenue hotel to

twice through the park within few

William Walter Phelps, and once with
John A. Stewart, but did not seem to
think it worth while to return the
call"

cause of the GOODNESS of the reception
accorded. He was not responsible for
the oversight on the part of Mr.. Blaine.

LAST MEETING OF GRANT and BLAINE.
IZI.0.ox1&0S13030.1.0
PRESIDENT GRANT HOBBIES ON CLUTCHES THE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE-STIRRING SCENE AT THE
INTERVIEW THE TWO EoNoRED LEADERS.

The name of General Grant as a can
didate for the presidency was not pre-
scented before the Republican national
convention of 1884. though every ref
erence on that occasion to the old
soldier was received with prolonged
applause. At that period he was under
going deep af1iction. Among the shad-
ows surrounding him as the result of
the failure of the Wall street firm of
Grant 6, Ward, with which his sons
were identified, appeared the constant
light of confidence on the part of the
people in the integrity of the late pres
ident as well as of the members of his
family.
The real contestants for the first
place on the ticket were Mr.. Blaine and
President Arthur. though one element
in the party led by the late Governor
William Curtis, brought forward the
name of Senator George +. Edwards,
of Vermont.
Many representatives of the Grant
element were among the Arthur fac
ton, but when the convention ad-
journed after selecting Senator John
A. Logan as Mr.. Blaine's running mate
the adherentS of all contestants ap-
peared satisfied.
In addition to his financial prostra-
ton General Grant almost Simultane-
Ously received d physical disability by
falling on the sidewalk while lighting
from cab. An obstinate injury to his
leg caused him much pain, but as soon
as he could do so he piuckily took up
a pair of crutches; and his familiar
figure was often seen in the pleasant
summer weather hObbling along upper
Fifth avenue, or in Central park near
his home.
In the fall of 1884, when the cam
paign was at its height. Mr.. Blaine
visited New York in connection with
his memorable political tour. He
stopped at the Fifth avenue Hotel, and
during his stay his rooms on the third
floor wer daily thrOnged with visitors.
one bright morning just before his de-
parture, there was an extraordinarily
large crowd present consisting of some
of the best known politicians of the
eastern and middle states. Among
these was the Hon. Stephen 3. Elkins,
now United States senator from West
Virginia and then. at at present, a
member of the Republican national
committee.
It was known that many of the for
mer adherents of General Grant, as
well as the followers of MIR. COnklinS
were not friendly to Mr.. Blaine per
sonally or cordial i'll support of his
candidacy. Even the real quality of
General Grants individual predictions
as between President Arthur and Mr..
Blaine was a question of doubt, as well
