A fatal stabbing ARRAY occurred IN
Bridgeport last evening, about 7;40
o'clock. The victim was an Austrian
named George MoltescI, who was killed
by his brother-ln-law, Mike MoIstesci.
The AFFAIR took place in the Cleveland,
Lorain & Wheeling yards, west OF Nor
gan street, and was the outcome Of a
quarrel between the two men, both OF
whom were laborers in the employ of
the railroad. The murderer made good
his escape.
The murdered man was a cook for the
construction gang, which Is composed
Of Austrians, who were working near
bridgeport yesterday. It appears that
Mike MoltescI owed months board
while connected with the construction
gang some time ago, for the men are
lodged in cars and carried from place
to place, the dead Moitesci doing the
cooking for the gang. Recently Mike
has been employed on the Bellaire dlvi-
sion and he made his home in Bridge
port. Last night after his supper he
visited the floating gangs" cars, which
we're sldetracked, and he and George
had some words. Then they grappled
and in an instant Mike whipped his
knife around and stabbed the cook in
the thigh, following this slash by a
straight drive of his knife into his
stomach, Just below the chest.
The wounded man reeled and fell to
the ground, and his assailant fed west
ward, crossing the creek and was soon
lost In the willows. After an effort the
Frustrated man rose to his feet, bleed
ing terribly, but his strength was gone
and he fell to the ground again never to
rise. In less than ten minutes after he
was stabbed he died. The deed was
committed so quick that the other Aus
TRANS hadn't time to interfere, and
they were too late in pursuing the dee
ing murderer to overtake him. A
hastily lmprovlsed pillow was put UNI
der the dying mans head and he
breathed his last on the clndered ground
where he fell.
There were several eye witnesses of
the tragedy, including the Cleveland,
LoraIn & wheeling yard master and
Mr.. William Alexander, the latter see
ing It from his porch, while the yard
master was much closer. They didn't
know a knife was used until they saw
the cooks clothes streaming blood. AS
few Of the gang Of Austrians could
speak any English, and that same be-
ing mighty indefinite, reporter for
the Intelllgencer had his troubles. Only
an Interpreter could get the straight Of
the affair. It was said that Mike MoIs-
tescl provoked the assault and called
his brother-in-law insulting names. He
is smaller in size than his victim, and
the dead man tried to defend himself
by pounding Mike on the head.
The body was placed on street car
and removed to Halls undertaking es-
tabllshment, where Coroner Beetham
viii hold the inquest to-day. The dead
man was forty-two years old and had
four children in Austria. His brother
is in the construction gang, which con-
sIsts Of about twenty laborers. The
Bridgeport police were handicapped in
their search for Mike, because of his
good start, and the difficulty in under
standing the excited remarks Of the
foreigners.

Jack Quinn, the Jockey who was In
jured at the butchers picnic, will re-
cover from his injuries. It was ascer-
talned yesterday that he suffered no
broken ribs, as was first announced, nor
any internal injuries of fatal conse-
quence. He is hurt severely, but his
admirers will be pleased to know his
recovery is assured. Those who saw
the accident express their surprise at
his escaping instant death, and his es-
cape was little short Of miraculous.

To Clothing Buyers.

There is a great beating of tom-toms
nowadays, large spread-eagle advertise
ments to weekly worry the patience of news-
paper readers, fences, trees, &c, used to tell
where big money is to be saved in buying
clothing, gents furnishing, shoes, &c. 1t
takes money to carry on this kind of war
fare, and kind reader ask yourself this sim
pie question, Who pays for the music? In
every instance the consumer most undoubt-
eddy. Our expenses in this line are not near
so much as competitors. and the money
thus saved is given the buyer in reduction
of prices on all goods purchased at our store.
We still maintain that we are leaders in low
prices, and so long as we enjoy the large in
crease in trade accorded US so far this sea
son, more than convinces that the public at
large comedies that our claim is just. Our
stock is exceedingly bright and snowy. of
tasty designs and finish and in endless vari-
ETY.. Don't forget our claim, ''money saw
ers." We established our business here some
five years ago on these very two words, and
we stand firmer on this foundation to-day
than ever. If there are still any doubling
ones, we cordially invite them to call at our
clothing emporium in the Hagley building
corner Main and Charles streets, fully con-
WINGED that we can sell clothing, gents fur
nishing, shoes, hats, &C., at least % percent
cheaper than any other house IN Jefferson
county. BALTIMORE BARGAIN House.

pate very large spring trade, and will

counteract the many spurious limitations
of legitimate tailoring that have been
foisted upon the public. AS to my new

necessary for me to dwell on them. All
can say is that used the very best
ability and matured experience in select
ing a complete assortment of styles and

and liberal treatment, and last, but not
