 Michael Calebrese was arrested last night after a stabbing affray in house on Canal street, charged with assault with attempt to kill. He was so cut up this morning he was unable to appear in court to answer to that complaint. Mrs Michael Ursini was the victim of Calabreses knife. This morning she was in a dangerous com dition. Mrs Ursipi keeps q boarding house at 6S Canal street. Her husband and their several children live with them. Calabrese, who is only 24 years of age, also boarded with them
 A lew days ago the Ursinis had quarrel. It is evident at present that Calabrese was in some way connected with it. His name is said to have. been mentioned several times by Mrs Urslni during the quarrel At all events Calabrese felt the house was no longer the proper place for him to stay and he decided to move. When collecting his effects last night his landlady entered his room and tried
  sistent. His back was turned toward her and he was bent forward in the act of bundling his belongings when she struck him twice in the face with her hands. He then proceeded in the man. her customary with his race, so far as It appears to have been the custom iii this city, He drew the inevitable knife and drove it twice into the wo- mans body, in the side and over the left hip. Ursini appeared upon the scene and tried to take the knife from Calabrese. Calabrese effected safe flight from the house to the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs James Rinaldi. who lives on the same street. There he was found later. In the struggle with Ursini it is supposed he received the cuts which incapacitated him from appearing in the city court.
 Mrs Ursini was found to be so bad~ ly cut that her removal to the hospital was deemed prudent.
