Case Of Stabbing

CASE OF STABBING. -A serious case o stabbing occurred at five o’clock yesterday (Sunday) morning, in the saloon of J. M. Simmons, on Second South Street. As far as we could learn, the following are the particulars of the affair: While John Wright, George Hague and Richard Burke were engaged playing cards in the saloon at eleven o’clock on Saturday night, Archi- bald Livingston approached the party and desired to join them, when Burke made some offensive remarks, at which Livings- ton felt insulted. The four persons above mentioned, however, joined in play, and remained together several hours. At 3 o’clock Hague left, and at 5, Livingston asked Burke why he had insulted him. Burke then threw off his coat and the two commenced fighting. Burke met his an- tagonist with a knife and stabbed him in the breast, in the head and behind the ear, at which part the knife broke. Livingston threw the other down and got on top of him, and, whilst down, Burke reached round and cut Livingston’s clothing across the back. Burke then cried, “enough.” The police were called in and arrested Burke. Livingston was taken to his resi- dence, where Drs. Anderson and Ormsby attended to his wounds. The preliminary examination in this case came off this after- noon. ARRESTED.-Alderman Clinton, Captain Burt, and several of the police officers en- gaged in the execution of the warrant issu- ed by the first named gentleman for the de- struction of the liquor and the articles used in the unlicensed sale thereof by Mr. Engel- brecht,-of Second South street.-were this morning arrested by United States Marshal Patrick, on a warrant issued by the United States Court of this district. The prelimin- ary hearing took place at Faust’s Hall this afternoon, before Judge Strickland, when Messrs. Clinton, Burt and Hyde were admitted to bail, in $10,000 each, and the rest of the officers in $2,000 each. POSTPONED-As the race course will not be ready by the 2d of September, the an- nual races will not come off on that date, but will take place September 10th.
