BLOODY NIGHT.
Police Kept Busy With Knife and
 Razor Case.

Last night was a bloody one in police circles, and human gore was freely split, knives and razors playing prominent parts in the series of tragedies that were enacted.
 Early in the evening a row occurred in Fritz Carle's saloon in South Twen- tieth street, and Carle was cut by two men whose names could not be learned. One of the men. so it is stated, slashed the saloon man in the face and almost severed the end of his nose. They ran up stairs into a room closely followed by Carle, who fired several shots into the room without effect.
 About 12 o'clock Henry Williams, a prodigal husband, went to the home of his wife, corner of Twentieth street and alley A, and finding James Grant, a boarder. asleep in the house, proceeded to carve him with razor, infiicting a severe wound on the right arm. The po- lice were notified and Williams was placed under arrest and locked up. Grant was taken to police headquarters where his wounds were dressed by the city phy- rsician Both are negroes.
