Shooting in. a House of 111 Fame—A Mam Attempts to Kill His Sister.— Last night about eleven o’clock a young man named Charles : Patterson went to a house of ill-fame, No. 323 South Juniper street, and shot a yeung woman who was living there under the name of Laura Golden. Laura is the sister of Patterson. She is about 20 years of age, and is quite pre possessing in appearance. Her mother is dead, but her father has been married again, and resides with his wife at No. 1502 Jeffer son avenue. Owing to disagreement with her step-mother Laura left home, and has been leading a life of shame for. upwards of a year past. Patterson is attached to the Navy, and is home on leave of absence. On Christmas he-discovered where his sister was living and went to the house. He hadan interview with her. He urged her to quit her present life and go home, offering to* pay her board for,her. She replied that her step-mother would probably turn her out of the house if she went there—that she liked the life Bhe was now leading and had nodesire to quit it. Theman used various arguments, but all in vain; He left and' seems then to have formed the idea of killing his; sister. He borrowed a horse pistol to be used for that purpose'.' 'He appears to halve been very mueh attached to her for it was some time before he could muster sufficient-courage to attempt the bloody deed, and even then he was obliged to drink two glasses of brandy to nerve himself for the occasion. Last.night Patterson again went to the boose in Juniper street and had another in terview withnis sister. She still refused to leave, when he drew out his pistol and fired at her. The weapon was loaded with cluck shot, which took effect in the hand, head and breast. The wounds are serious, but are not considered dangerous. Officer Blee; of the Fifth District, was dose by and heard the firing. He ran to the house and some person cried “murder!” from the second-story window. He ihen broke in the door and took Patterson into custody. The prisoner made no resistance and was taken to the. Station House. A physician was called in, and the wounds of the yonng woman were dressed. She was tnen,removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital under the direction of Liaut. Connelly. . This morning Patterson had become per fectly,calm. He expressed groat-satisfaction at not baving killed bis sister, and said that he was glad that she had time to think over her folly and repent. He will have a hear ing this afternoon before Alderman Beitler, at the Central Station. Prize Fight.—Early yesterday morn ing there was a prize fight near the boundary line between this city and Delaware county. Tbe alleged principals in the affair were 4wo men named Smith and McCaulley. They have been training for some time. "Yesterday morning, about £ o’clock, Smith and McCaulley, their seconds and. friends, and numerous spectators left the eity. The party passed over Gray’s ferry bridge.thence through MaidenlanetotheS chuylkill’where all embarked in batteaux. The boats were rowed down the. Schuylkill to Darby creek and up the latter stream some distance. A landing was then effected and a ring was formed. Smith and McCaulley, took their positions and several rounds were fought. Smith was pretty badly punished but Mc- Caulley , only received two bruises. The latter was declared the victor. All hands then returned to the city. - * - A* Owner Wanted.—A push cart, sap poged to. have been stolen; is awaiting ah ; owner at the Eleventh VYard Police Station.

It is the first of the char acter which has taken plaoe in Philadel phia for some time, and it ought to be the last. ... The circumstances are as follows, as we learnthemin the first flush of the discovery of the robbery: ■ Abbot 12i|[o’clock to-day two persons, dressed in a gentlemanly manner, entered the office of Mr. C. P. Bayard, stockbroker, No. 209 Chestnut street. The office at the timewas in charge of Mr. J, Bayard, a venerable gentleman, father, we believe, of Mr. C. P. Bayard, No one else was in the . place. The fire-proof door was open, and the safe: within it was adEoopeib ; On the entrance of the two strangers, they asked for Mr. C, P. Bayard, and made quite a number of inquiries as to what kind of stocks he dealt in. Mr. Bayard senior, answered theirj questions corteonsly, and apparently to their satisfaction. While thus engaged, standing up talking to strangers Nos. 1 and 2, stranger No. 3 made” his [appearance and inquired of Mr. Bayard, where he [could get a bill of ex change. Mr. Bayard informed stranger No. 3 that he could get one at Browns & Bowen’s, next door above. Stranger No. 3 then disap peared, and shortly afterwards strangers Nos. 1 and 2 also left the premises in the quietest and most gentlemany manner.
