An Atrocious Murder Corrimltted at Irondale. The Assassin Did Not Like the Looks of His Vietim, And Attacked Him as He tas Rlamdering In His Ded. A two-story frame Louse, koown as tho Iozle Avenuc House, located at the corner of Iloxle avenuo and One Hundred and Etghth street, in the eettfement about the Joseph . Brown Iron and 8tcel MIlls, and therefore appropriate- Iy named Irondale, was the sccoo yesterday morning of one of the bloodiest tragedies that has ever happened in this part of the countey. ‘Tho story of the affalr may bo briefly told. The honse fa occupled as a boarding-liouse by Mrs. Falvey, There is s front and a rear stalr- way leading to the secona story, sud tho land- Iuga of each are connected by & serfes of three rooms, such a8 in most houses would form a ballway. Tha middie apartment of this space contalns & stove and two beds, and was occu- pled by MARTIN HUSTRS, the victim of yesterday’s tragedy, and Frank Donoliue, the assassln. The former 18 about 45 years of age, of dwarfish staturc and size,—lu fact 'a dried-up, shriveled, and diseased specimen of homanity, with his hands, arms, and kuees bent out of shape with rheumatisa, and his face distorted with palsy or otlitr disease of stmilar character. Douchue, ou the contrary, is quite an athletlc fellow. Perhaps the beat general {dea of the tragedy may bo gleancd from the followlug testimony taken yesterday by Corouer Mann, that func- tlonary baving gono to lrondala at noon yesterday for the purpose of holding the Inquest. After viewing the blood-bespat- tered mpartments In tbe house, the corpse, which, not having beem moved nor cleaned, pre- gented n horrifying appearance, the jury took up quarters in o neighboring saluon for the pur- pose of hearing tho witnesses, ‘The first ono called was MRS, PALYEY, proprictress of the Huxia Avenne Honse, who testifled that deceased had been buarding there sinco Monday eveoing. last saw him alive at 4:30 ln the morning. De retired to his room obout 9 o'clock tbe previons night. Frank Donohue slept in the same roow, and retired sbout an hour later, No unusual noises were heard until about 4:30 jo the morulug, when witness heard & very pltiful cry from up-stairs, whereupon ehe ran from the dining-room, and, striking a light, weut up- stairs, Deceasca was in his room, screaming, and covered with blood, and Frank was in the sameroom, No weapoos were seeu at this time. Witness thon went down-staits, aud was followed by deceascd, who took o chair in the Kkitchen, and, while seated thcre, Donobuc came up to him from behind aud struck him geveral timus In the back with 8 knife, Deceased ran into the hiatlway at the foot of the back stairs, and there fell desd. Donohue crossed the body of the dead mon, went up-stalrs, put on his coat, came down the front way, and weut out. Deceased was s poaceable man. Donohue bad bosrded &t the houto for five or six wecks, and nothing wroni wad ever noticed in him excopt that be was at timiea slightly unsteady. They were both nober at nlght, and when they retired were apparently upon good terms. Hustes did wot spenk after coming down-stalrs cxcept to exclutw, My Dboart is torn out!” ‘Ile had a curious way of twitching ono slde of Lts face, sud Frank one day thought ha was making faces at him, but was assured that the twitchings wero caused by palsy, aud the inatter was dropped. Nu other worda between them were ever beard. Dono- hute, in answer to n request 1o sit down, guzea at the dying man, and, rubbing the blood whict covered his own bands, safd, * Eversthing scema queer here to-pigat.” Ile acted strangely, snd sppeared to bs out of his miud. TIMOTHY PALVEY, husband of the previous witness, testifled that his little girl called him, and ho ran up-statrs atter John Coannar, who told him to go back as ynick as bo could. Baw Ilustes crawl down- stairs, and otber transactions fu the diniog- rootn as related by his wife.

JOHN COXNOR, a boarder {n the house, testified that hio heard tho alarm ralsed by Mrs, Falvey upon hearing tho cries sbove, nud that ho ran up the back stairs, but, hearing some one spproach, went Dack down, and, upun looking back, saw Hustes crawling down stalrs, and Donobue followlng Im, Witness sald to Mr, Falvey, *Bee what he has done,” aud Douvohue replled, *I told you I would murder somebody.” "Witness then wunt out into the street to call nssistance, and when ho returnicd Hustes waoa Iyfug at the foot ol the back stalra.
