The comparative quiot which han oxiated in driminal mattors during tho pnst two woeks was brokon yestorday by an attempted murdor and a sorfous stabbing aftray. The lattor possosses nothing new or stariling, but the former belng an affair whoreln n jonlous lover sought to enatch from tho arms of his rival the woman thoy Doth loved, taking hor life, prosonts ' phoze of human charactor which s Lardly capablo of intelligont solu- tion, sinco lovers gonorally dosiro to caro vory tenderly for tho ob!untu of thoir lovos, Buttho anomlsy has alintorvals trange Elmd of nlover shooting his long-cherlshed one, -bocauso (and oftontimes in her wisdom) she bo- camo faithless to Lim nud proferred another, ond aftor commiiting the glorious deed, run- Ding off to 1ido, and Ohlcags yostorday producod just Buch an auamoly. Tho partios to tho aftair ro Annio Kconsn ' young and vory protty girl, of 17 summiors, "'Hn“narllmn' named James Brady apd Jobn Buckley, The scone of 1 tho fatbior of tho i), on Wi was tho honeo of tho father of tho pir}, on Win- T e Ofast Wont of tho Translt Hoto, at tho Btock Yards, About sovon months lLiave passod away since Brady, who isa carpentor hP Yroleuslun, but who,’it is #ald, docs not handlo tho tools of hiy trado very much, first mot Aunle Keonan. _With Tim it was love at first sight, and, unlike hoarts that arc onsily improssed, his affection ¥ru\v a8 tholr knowlodge of gach other was oxtondod. Misa'Aunie TOSBESSED MANY GHARME, and charmed twico their numbor whonover sho sppoarad fn company. Tt s always disagrooablo to bo in love with a popular girl. ' No young fol- low over folt the situation other than voxatious. Bo it hos boeen with James Brady. Old shoos oud onse wore not cnmronent parts of his nataro whon Miss Annjo smiled for omo ono olse. At such times s monstor, whose raiment is com- monly supposed to bo groen in color, would put snger in his heart, dovilish purposos in his mind, and FIRE IN TS EVES: and sg Annio did rocolve attentlon from others and would not limit tho circlo of hor associa- tion, 8o that sho would bo over walking around Jamea Brady, this young man has boon, durin, the past sevon months, a most unhappy an wroiched being, It isenid that ho lag throat- encd to commit guicido, which would certainly havo been a much bravor aud more manly dood than that which lo attompted to accomplish last night. + IF IT 18 TRUB that lovo prompts such deeds ns James Brady committed last Lll?hl«, then tho idon that love ia the most solflsh of pagsions is suatained, and tho loss of Iovo wo have tho bottor, wo shall bo. BRADY HAS EXDURED . wory muoh, it is anid, as Annie has boon o great: coquotto, But thoy have madesome progress, Jamos hing porsisted ond Annie_resisted, but tho former won for somo time. Indood, she pnr- tially consonted to bo his wifo, but James spoiled all that by domanding that she rocoive no attontion from anybody olso It was on this scoro that the shooting was dono, Tho strong- o8t rival has beon o young man named Buckloy. It wos known to Brady that Buckloy went out yoslerday aftornoon with Aunje. This =0 oxasporated him that ho resolved it should not bo ropeated. Accordingly, yostordey ovening, about 9 o'clock, ho wont £o tho house of hia onco prospoctive fathor-inaw, and, without knook- ing, burat into thoparlor. - On & sofa sat tho two that had raised tho devilish purposs In his mind. Glancing furtively around, ho neked Misa Annig if she was out walking in tho afternoon x WITH THAT MAN, ointing to Buckley. Annio enid sho was, (ly then asked hor which of thom she thought most of. Tho girl promptly answorod that Buckley was her favorito. W hnmu;i'on Brad; g\,lickly d@rew a rovolver from his Lroast an ol two shiots at lior, both of which took effact 1n the vicinity of tha hoart. Tho girl fell in tho orms of her acknowledged lover, cold and inson- siblo. Brady did not say & word, but rushod out of the houso. He, however, did not at ONCE GO AWAY, but lingered around s fow minutos, Whon asked what he waa going to do, he replied that he did right, and would surrender himself to-dny. Abnn onxly hour $hio murlug thu gUl Wus VOTy low and not oxpected to livo. 8ho is only about 17 yoars old, and is spoken of ns a respectable and amiable girl, Itis belioved that Brady has left tho city. Hois a hoavy-sot mam, with swarthy comploxion and blaok whiskera on his chin, and ig gruff in his manner and spooch. —_— THOSE SPIKED QUADRANGULARS. ¥low n Frightful Tragedy May Ko Prevented, ‘Whether it will happen within s weok, or o month, or oven n your, no ouo can toll, but thoro is no doubt that some day or other oither Judge DBootl's or Judgo Porter's Courts, or both, will bo tho scone of ssangulnary, oviscoratory tragedy, followed by a Coroner's inquest. In the floor of cmoh room is a largo ekylight round which is raisod an iron guard, about throo feot high, from the top ruil of which bustle, at regular iwo-inch intervals, sharp-pointed spikes, the tout ensom- blo of the thing reminding one of tho more Lor- Tible pictures in Fox's Book of Martyrs, and sug- gesting the torrors of the Grand Inquisition.

Ono day last wintor a juror slippod in clogo proximity to tho skylight, and, o savo himeclf from falling through and hurt- inyg the clorks bolovw, he, with laudable gelf-abne-~ gstlon, clutched spasmodically at tho spikos, two of which wont through his hand, whilo s third 80 up his thumb, sovering the sinow, and por- manontly disabling it, Later on, an intoxicated oitizon “foll prono upon tho wspikos; but it was wintor-time, and hyu threo avorcoats, two pa-jackets, and o multiplicity of vests and undoralotbing saved him from impolo- mont, and tho struggling masa was hoisted from danger by the minuto-clork and tho bailiff, 8till Inter and still sadder, a Times roportor Lad his pocket rippod opon by an evil-intontionad spike, and thoe floor was instantly strown with choice oxtracts from tho juceliae eolumna of third-class Tooky Mountain “woeklics, with which ho was sbout to gob up impromptu flashes of wit and morrimont, with tho moro pruriont details of no- torious divorce cages, and o commulation ticket issuod by @ southerly Fourth avenuo cating- houso. Lodlos’ mentles have boon ruined by the hundred, while evory day one or more of the spikes ure found fo ‘bo adorned with wav~ iug “strips of vari-colorod cloth, ripped from the flying talls of huwrrying ln\v{um‘ over- conts.
