 ed In the Lookup.

New York, June 1s.-The attempt of an Italian brigand to rob a woman of a pair of diamond earrings nearly
 cost two lives early to-day. The would
 be robbers victim was terribly cut
 about the face and head by a keen
 edged knife with which the thief at-
 tempted to cut the jewels from the
 woman's ears and scarcely five min-
 utes later the robber himself and a
 policeman who had arrested him were
 fighting for his life against a crowd
 of hundreds of Hebrews who sought
 to avenge the assault. The robber
 was kicked, stoned and repeatedly
 knocked down before the policeman
 landed him in cell.
 The victim of the assault was Mrs
 Rebecca Kupfer, 24 years old, and the assailant Joseph Carpaccia, 23 years old. She was returning through Hous- ton street to her home when Carpac- cia sprang upon her. He sought to snatch the jewels from the woman's ears and failing, whipped out knife, and slashed into the flesh which firm ly held the golden loop. The woman fought until she fell to the sidewalk exhausted from exertion and loss of blood. The top lobe of her ear had been nearly cut off. the temporal and other arteries had been severed and she was in great danger of bleeding tA nx, nxx.I haI been attracted by Mrs Kupfer's screams and with them came q police man. He quickly subdued Carpaccia and was starting for the station house when the crowd realized the extent of Mrs Kupfer's injuries and sprang upon the prisoner. Hundreds of He brews poured from the tenement house Tn the vicinity and swarmed around the policeman and his prisoner At first they merely begegd the police man to give the man up to them that they might mete out to him the pun ishment which they thought he de- served. The policeman called for as- sistance and two more patrolmen joined him. At Delaney and Suffolk streets. man struck Carpaccia in the ear and he went down. A little fur ther on. a Hebrew clad in evening clothes and top hat, burst through the crowd close to the prisoner and held np hundred dollar bill before the policemen's eyes.
 ''I'll give you this" he cried "if you'll let us have him"
 At Delancey and Ehridge streets. carpacela was again knocked down by blows from behind. This time he was so stunned that he could not rise. and was carried the rest of the way fo the station. Both his eyes were and his face and head were covered with bruises.
 Mrs Kupfer will recover.

ONE SAILOR DEAD Row Started Over Trouble Between Ship Owners and the Union
 Sailors.
SEVERAL VOLLEYS WERE FIRED

San Francisco, June 1S.-As a re- suit of the lockout and the trouble ex- isting between the shipowners and union sailors in this port. one union sailor was shot and killed and three were wounded last night. The dead: { Andrew Kellner.
 The injured:
 John Peterson.
 Andrew Hansen.
 HOlgar Borgesen.
 The shooting occurred when launch occupied by about 15 union sailors was fired on from the schooner National City as 1t lay near the Un- ion Iron works. According to the men who were in the launch. several vol leys were fired at them without warn- ing when they were within few feet of the schooner.
 It is said that it was the intention of the union sailors to make an at- tempt to have the non-union crew of the National City desert the vessel which was scheduled to sail today. As part of the plan to carry over lures to the non-union men. launch was engaged and filled with volun- teers from the sailors union. The trip was made with the utmost se- crecy, but 1t is evident that the men on the National City were expecting a visit.
 After the launch came up to the Ma. tional City, a rife was thrust over the side of the schooner and shot rang. out. followed by the cry ''now give 1t to them boys" Several volleys werc then fired on the launch in rapid suc- cession and the terrified union men sought the shelter of the small cabin of the launch. As soon as orders could be given to the engineer of the launch he turned about and sped his boat away from the scene as rapidly as possible. A run of nearly two miles was taken to the harbor hospital where the men who had been shot were quickly lift ed from the boat by their friends. At the hospital 1t was found that An drew Kellner had been almost im- mediately killed. Two bullets had en- tered his chest and one of them had evidently penetrated his heart. His were taken to the morgue. All the wounded men will recover and | will be removed tomorrow to the ma rine hospital. No arrests have been made as the schooner at once moved | out into the bay.
