TUE ABBE LISZT AND THE CII1CK
ERING PIANOS.
Two or three months since a friend of ours
returned from Rome. IMns well acquainted
With the Abb6 Liszt, he told him of the rumorn
current in America relative to hia proposed
visit to that country. The Abbe replied that
he feared he should never visit America. He
had heard ot the terrors of the sea voyage,
and dreaded to attempt it. Besides, he would
not visit it as a publio performer, as he had
given np all ambition in that direction. At
one time he thought he would go, and give
grand vocal and instrumental concerts of a
sacred character, the proceeds of which should
go to the Church, but that Idea he ha3 since
Abandoned.
"I wished to visit America for two things,"
Said the Abltf Liszt; "the one was to see
Niagara and the prairies, and the other to try
the Chickering Pianos, of which I have heard
eo much."
The AIM was delighted when he heard that
Chickering & Sons would send pianos to the
French Imposition, and said, "1 will go to
Paris if only to play upon the Chickering
Pianos." American Art Journal,

book aud found a discrepancy ot over 4700 gallons of

Mr. Stevenson's books were presented and

third story, lu thecliamberoccupled by a young
lady named Maria llolcrort, aged about fifteen
years, of unusunlly fine personal appearance
and of known respectability, and attempted, it
Is thought, to commit au outrage upon her
person.
Miss Ilolcroft resisted the endeavors of the
young limn, und culled nlotiil for assistance.
Jler struggles were such ns to cause 1'olner to
desist for a time, when he repeated his attempt
to commit an outrnge, and sue exceeded her
previous ellorts to call for aid.
FindinR himself lolled and fearing discovery,
he drew a very small razor from his vest-Docket
and with 11 inflicted two fieightful guslies
across Miss Holcroft'a throat and a third cut
upon the righljaw. Miss Ilolcroft loll to the
lloor in a swoon.
1'olner then attempted, in his desneratlon. to
escape by getting upon a chair aud drawing
himself up Into a loft, where he remained hid
behind the chimney until the outcry had
brought to the scene Ofllcers Weston of the
Second and Hchaell'er of the First District, who
proceeded first to care for the wounded alrl. by
removing her to tho first floor, where every at

ninny sorrowing friends.
The ofllcers then entered the loft, and finding
Foiner there, dod to drag htm out by main

Nkw Yokk, May IS. The recently released
prisoner of State, the ex-Rebel President, Jeff.
Davis, arrived at the New York Hotel in this
city, about half past one o'clock this morning,
from Kichmond, In the steamer Niagara. Dur
ing yesterday evening numbers of persons as
sembled In the neighborhood of pier No. 21
North Klver, in expectation of witnessing the
lunding of tho great exponent of the Rebellion
on loyal Northern soil. As the night advanoed,
end no tidings of the steamer came, the crowd
gradually thinned ; and when me steamer
reached her dock, at nearly one o clock, scarcely
anybody was present.
Three carriages were In waiting, Into which
Mr. Davis and suite, consisting of his brother,
General Joseph Davis, of Mlssiasippl- Mrs. Jeff.
Davis aud her sister, Miss Howell: Dr. Uraveu
and Governor Frauk Pearson, of Newark, and
others, were hurried, and the party drove to
the hotel named at a rapid rate.
During the passage from Kichmond to New
York, Mr. Davis ate at the regular table and
mixed freely with the passengers, entering
cheerfully into conveisation with very one
who addressed him. When the steamer reuohed
Fortress Monroe Mrs. Davis left the boat and
took passage for Norfolk, where she was Joined
by her sister, and then returned to the Niagara
at the Fortress, Mr. Davis remaining on hoard
in the intertill.
There was no demonstration of any kind at
Fortress Monroe on Mr. Davis' arrival. The
trip to New York was a very pleasant one, and
not marked by any incident worth reoordlng.
Tlie New York Hotel is besieged this morn
ing by Mr. Davis' peisoual friends, aud others
either for an interview, but at the present
writing (12 o'clock) the stern statesman has
closely kept his room, and declined to gee any
body. Representations of the New York press
are out In force, wailing to see the distinguished
stranger.
Ihe following prominent New Yorkers have
snt their cards to Mr. Davis: Gideon J.
Tucker, W. W. Cochran, Judge Russell, Francis
Marcoe, James A. McMaslers, James J. Van
Allen. C. Powell, O. K. Bherburn, William
Howard, and Mr. Variau, Chairman of the
New York States Rights Committee; General
Robert Anderson, of Fort Butnter fame, is
about the New York Hotel, and It is supposed
he Is awaiting an Interview with Mr. Davis.
1 have just had an interview with General
Davis, brother ot the great original, and he
Hales that nothing Is arranged definitely re
garding Mr. Davis' movements. It is under
stood, however, that he will leave tlie New
York Hotel this afternoon, and take quarters
with his conn. el, Charles O'Conor, on Fifth
avenue, during the remainder of his stay in
the city,
M r. Davis is evidently determined to make his
future Journey through the North us private as
possible. His ultimate destination is Montreal,
Canada.

EXCITING A FFA IR IN NEW YORK.
Avery exciting and exceedingly dangerous
shooting affray occurred In front of Drtl
monico's, No. 'ii Broad street, about half-past 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
It appears that for some lime past there has
been aUIUlculty regarding money matters ex
isting between William H. 11. Full and a
man named Harry Newton, who are said
to be known as "curb stone operators" in
gold. At a casual meeting, between
these parties yesterday morning It is al
leged that Newton, who is a large and very
powerful man, threatened to inflict personal
violence upon Fall, and fearing that the threat
would be carried into execution, tue latter, as
he frankly confesses, purchased two Derringer
pistols, loaded them with powder and ball, and
placed them in his pocket lor self-protection in
case he should be assaulted by Newton. At the
time above named these parlies met again on
the walk In front of Delmonlco's, and became
involved in a Quarrel, which soou collected a
crowd of several hundred persons. . During the
wrangle both JSewton and Fall drew pistols;
aud commenced firing, whereupon the crowd
scattered In every direction. Unly two barrelsof
their pistols were discharged, but neither
of the principals In the shooting wero Injured.
A bullet from one of their weapons, however,

J. Grace, superintendent of the Western Uuiou
Telegraph Company, No. 22 Broad street, pass
ing inwaras anil uownwarus xnn longtng unaer

entrance.
Tho discharge of firearms brought Ulllcera
Kea.ofthe First precinct, and Duunislou, of
the Third precinct, the latter of whom Is de
tailed for duty at the Gold Room, and they stio
Cfciled lu arresting Fall, but Newlon ran
thiough Delmonlco's and made hlsesoape.
Mr. Grace was assisted to the New Btreot
Police Btallon, where Police Burgeon Andrews
extracted the bullet from his breast, Tne
wound, although a severe one, is not consid
ered necessarily dangerous. Subsequently
Ofllcers Ilea aud Denulstou made search for
Newlon, but he was not to Do found ut his
ofllce, No. 117 Brondway, nor elsewhere.
l.uler lu the utteruoon Fall and a man named
George 11. Bed hike, suid to have been Indi
rectly mixed up in the quarrel, were taken
before Justice Howling, at, the Tombs, where
Mr. Grace 11I.-0 appeared und made a statement
to the etTecl tliul he hud been shot cither by the
prisoner or Newton, but which of them he was
unable 10 say. Fall confessed to the magistrate
that the pistols lound in his pockets were his
propcrt; thai he bought and loaded them in
the morning, lor the purpose of protecting li I ni
sei! ngulnst un assault which he feared Newton
won In make upon him.
The prisoner expressed great sorrow that an
innocent man's life should have been Jeop
ardized, aud said he was willing to reuder
any satisfaction to Mr. Grace that he might
demand.
Fall pleaded plteously against being inoaroe
rated in the I'ouibs, and wished to be released
on bail, but the magistrate, in a few appropriate
remarks on the utter recklessness and disregard
of human lite displayed by him (.Fall) and New
ton In discharging their tlreurms in sucli a
crowded thoroughfare, declined to take ball at
present, and committed him to the Tombs for
examination. There being nooomplalnt against
Mr. Bedlake, he was discharged fioin custody.
The magistrate directed the ofllcers to teuew
their efforts to arrest Newton, and doubtless he
will soon be taken. Mr. Grace, the Injured gen
tleman, resides lu Scotch Plains, N. J.N. Y.

MURDER IN NEW YORK.
A DRUNKEN HUSBAND SHOOTS ANA CUOKE3 HfH
WfKE 1IBH DEATU HIS AUKEBT ON TUB CUARQK
OF MURDER, ETC.
On Tuesday evening, at half-past nineo'clook,
the Inhabitants of the tenement house No. 2j(J
Tenth avenue were startled by the report of a
revolver. The Inmates of the building at one
suspected that the room occupied by James
McL'uffray and his wife Annie was the scene of
the difficulty, aud on repairing there found
the door locked aud everything quiet.
One of the female occupants proceeded
to Twenty-seventh street, where a friend
of McCaffrey, named John Hmlth, resides,
and returned In his company. The door was
loiced in, when McCaffruy was found in bed
beside a child, aged about five mouths, and the
wife lying on the floor of the bedroom in an
apparently Insensible condition. McCuflray
was sleeping souudly, aud on examining the
bed a large navy revolver, empty, was found
beside him, which was taken possession of by
Bmith. Word was at onoe sent to the Sixteenth,
precinct headquarters, and Odicer Perkins re
paired to the scene of the tragedy aud arrested
McCaffray, who denied all knowledge of the
shootlrg. The ofticer represented that he was
then quite drunff. On directing his attention
lo the woman, Officer Perkins lound her lying
upon the floor moaning plteonslv. Hue des
cribed the particulars ot the difficulty, and
stated that McCaffray had choked her aud fired
at her, but she was not uware tnat tue ball hod
entered her person.
Ou observing blood the officer examined the
woman, and found that the bull had entered the
left shoulder and taken a downward direction.
Dr. .Smith was called lu and probed the wound,
but failed 10 discover the lodgment of the ball.
The woman was at once removed to the Je wisU
(Mount Blnal) hospital, when the doctor again
probed the v nod; but failed to reach the ball.
At this tlnio i,u bout 11 o clock) Mrs. McCaffray
was suffering much pain, but It was believed
she was not mortally wounded. McCuffray was
lodged In the Station House, and was yesterday
brought before Justloe Dodge, at the Jefferson,
Market Police Court.
James Perkins, of the Sixteenth Precinct po
lice, appeared before Justice Dodge yesterday
morning and made a complaint against James
McCuflray, on the suggestion of his wife, charg
ing him with having committed a violent
assault upon her. The words of the complaint ara
"that the said James Is the husband of Annie,
and that they reside at No. 250 Tenth avenue;
that most of the duy(the 14th lnstaut) James
remained in the house, at home, quarrelling
with his wife, and several times threatened lu
shoot her with a huge navy revolver; that at
about ID o'clock at night tne acoused became
very violent, and drew the repolver, whloti
was loaded with powder and bill, sad
levelled it at Annie, aud tired and dis
charged the same ut her, the ball thereof
taking effect In said Annie's left shoulder,
taking a downward course; thesald James then
choked the suld Aunie until she fell lu a sense
less condition on the floor; tbut he then looked
the door; that while she so lav there, bleeding
firofusely, the neighbors heard the affray, and
n about an hour suoceedod In openlug the
door of the room, and Ofllcers Smith and
Bulhard were called, aud deponent also; that
denouent arrested suld James, and the aaid
Bulhard took said Annie lo the Jews' Hospital
in Twenty-eighth steeet, where she now lies
in a dying condition, the surgeon In atten
dance having probed the wouud, but had not
been able to flud the ball."
Coroner Wildey was then notified to hold an
ante-mortem examination; but before the
Coroner arrived the woman died.
An inquest will be held this morning at half
past eight o'clock at the hospital.
The statements regardlug the murder seem
to be very coullicting. One of the female occu
pants of the house says she heard the report of
three pistol shots. The facts as near as they
can be ascertained at this writing, are as given
above. The murderer, McCuffray, is represented
by those who knew him well as an Industrious
aud devoted husband and lather wheu not
under the influence of liquor; but when drunk
as very quarrelsome aim passionate. lie has
been in the employ of Fluuegau A Wallaos,
brewers, ot this city, aud was twenty-four years
