Deceased 'WM forty years of age, and

resided in King's Court, off Etna street.
Point street has been the scene of
another disturbance. Last evening John
Logan appeared before Alderman Mc-
Masters and* made information against
John and Thomas McDermott for felo
nious assault and battery. Logan says
he was quietly sitting in his house on
Point street, when the ISlcDermotts came
in and commenced a violent assault upon
him. He alleges they knocked him down,
kicked -him, hit him on the head and
in the mouth with a slung shot,
and were about striking him a third
Limo with that article when he jerked it
out of Thomas' -hand, who had hold of it.
The parties have bOen on bad terms for
some time and have had several little
skirmishes previous to the one in quest
tiorr. , Warrants were issued for the ar
rest of the alleged assailants. The affair
created 'considerable excitement in the
neighborhood for a time and collected a
large crowd . around the house, but no
one participated in the row beyond the
persons named.
Dennis McGraw made information be
fore Alderman 'McMasters,,yesterday, .
against David McKnight for fraud, Me

patent roof on a house owned by Mc-
Knight, for which he was to receive ten
dollars. The bill, however, was not paid
promptly, and suit was brough i for its
i i,
settlement. Judgment was ob ined by
McGraw, but McKnight took t e "stay'
for three months. In the meantime, it
is stated, be sold the house and pocketed
the money with the intention of defraud
ing his creditor, hence the suit. A war
rant was issued.
George D. Maelien made informations
before'' Alderman Strain, yesterday,
against Charles Krenan for disorderly
conduct and surety of the peace. The
prosecutor states that the accused 'en
tered his house on Virgin alley, on Mon
