A Foolish Wrangle Between Two Prin- ters Ends in a Frightful Tragedy. A fatal affray occurred last night at the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue, between two printers named Wm. McMahon and George Hough. McMahon was terribly cut with a knife by Hough, one gash extending almost from ear to ear, and the other extending from the right ear across the chest. Hough and MeMahon, with two com- Panions, James B. Nelson and J. W. Campbell, met early in the evening at Tip Hoy’s restaurant, on 11th street, south of the avenue, and while in there Hough and McMahon engaged in a wrestling bout, in which McMahon wezsted Hough. Themen after leaving the restaurant, it appears, took drinks in other places, and Hough showed much bad feeling on account of the result of the wrestling bout. At the southeast cor, of 7th st. and Louisiana avenue Hough and McMahon got inio a wrangle, and Houch, according to the statements of Neison, made a pass with his hand towards McMahon's head, and then ran down Loutsiana avenue towards 6th street. Nelson saw McMahon stagger, and went up to him to ask what was the matter’ with him. McMahon said, “I am done for thts time, Jim.” “McMahon reeled and Nelson caught him and supported him to tne eity post office, where the wounded man fell to the ground. Nelson ap- plied for assistance at the city post office, and then Fan to police headquarters where he reported the facts. “Meanwhile Dr. Toner suinmoned, and ald What could be done to make McMahon comfort- able until the arrival of the police ambulance, Which conveyed the wounded man to Providence hospital HOUGH ARRESTED. It appears that Hough, after cutting McMahon, went to Miller's restaurant, corner of 6th street and Pennsylvania avenue, where he washed his hands, He then came out, and was standing on the corner when he was arrested by Officers Bast, Schulze and Montgomery, and taken to the seventh precinct station. He was sullen and uncommunicative, and, apparentiy, much un- der the intluence ‘of liquor. He dented ail knowl edge of the occurrence. Soon after being placed in a cell he fell asleep. A two-bladed pocket-knife, having one blade about three inches long and very sharp, was taken from him by the police. It was With this weapon, it 18 supposed, that the fatal wounds were infifeted. A woman, who gave her name as Pearl Hough, was also put under arrest and held as a witness, because she said that she liad been talking with McMahon. She was in Sup- plee’s restaurant, near the post office when the af- fray occurred. It appears, however, from the state- ments of the others, tnat she had no connection ‘With the case, NELSON’S STATEMENT. Nelson was detained by the police as a witness. He made a statement at police headquarters in the presence of his counsel, Mr, John A. Clarke, as fol- lows: “We met—that fs, the man now Iying in front of the city post office with his throat cut, his name ts MeMahon, and T—at Tip Hoy’s rests west side’ of 11th street, below the # Was between three and four o'clock tls evening. The man who did the cutting (Hough) met us at Tip Hoy’s, and remarked to MeMahon, ‘I can down you,’ and McMahon retorted, *You can’t down me.’ Whereupon they wrestled, and McMalion threw the assailant down upon thé floor. We all left Tip Hoy’s, ‘Shad’ Campbell, Bil MeMahon, the man who did the cutting, ald myself. ‘This was about 9:15 o'clock to-night.” We walked down Pennsylva- nia avenue and turned into Loutsiana avenue near the post office, and the man who did the cutting said to McMahon, ‘I will do you now,’ and simulta: Je a Swipe with bis hand toward Me- ons head, and Immediately ran down Loulstana avenue toward 6th street, the Southwest corner.” DEATH OF M’MATION. MeMahon becarae consctous after being taken to the hospital, and when asked If he had cut him- seif shook his head, He sank again Ina stupor, suffering from exhaustion, caused by loss of blood, and died about 4:50 o'clock’ tts mornii range ments Were made this morning for holding an in- quest at two o'clock this afternoon. THE “SWIPER” AND HIS VICTIM. McMahon, the victim of the tragedy, came origt- nally rom Buffalo, where his mother resides. About two weeks ago he came to this city from Seranton, and has been employed occasionatiy In th ornae i ate that he'was qulet and inoffensive, though addicted to ing room of the Pust.

A Star reporter saw him in his cell this morning at the station house. He was lying on his fron bunk as if asteep, but jumped up when the reporter called hts ne “T do not care to m: any staterent,” he to the reporter, “My attorney, Mr. Carrlng’ has advised me not to say anything.” “It is stated that you said you knew nothing about the cutting?” said the reporter. “I know nothing about It, All I know ts that I left him standing at the corner, and that I did not do the cutting.” “We had awrestie in Tip Hoy’s, and he threw me.

Pearl Hough, the woman who was detained by the police in connection with the case, stated to a Stan reporter that she knew none of the parties and nothing about the affair. She supposed at first that it was another McMahon that was killed and she made a remark that she had been talking With McMahon and that led to her arrest. THE WITNESS, NELSON. Nelson, who was taken as a witness last night, was keptat the police station untti the inquest this afternoon. He declined to talk to-day, saying he had been advised uot to. He sald he had unfortu- nately been mixed up tn the affair by force of cir- cumstances, The statement which he made at police headquarters last night, he said, was about correct. “He appeared to be considerably affected by his situation and by the sudden and enforced abstinence from stimulants after his dissipati MEMBERS OF THE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION were at the station this morning, arranging to take charge of the remains. Some friends of Hough’s were there and declared it as not at all settled who did the cutting. The party were all intoxicated and no One Was sure that Hough was guilty of the cutting. J. W. Campbell, who was one of the printers with Hough and McMahon,wassummoned as a witness to-day. He said toa Sra reporter that he knew nothing of the cutting, as he left the party before McMahon was cut. ABAD MAN ONLY WHEN DRINKING.

He was especiajly Kked on account of his pleasant: disposition, Héleft the office yesterday at five o'clock, eae sober, having first got a ten dol- lar bill changed.

Two Gypsy camps were recently establlshed at Darley Park, near Baltimore. The light of one camp was Louisa Harrison, who 1s tall, graceful and decidedly pretty. The pride and strength of the other camp was Isaiah Lovell, a handsome lad of 23, The first day that Isatah saw Loulsa he fell in love with her, and Louisa returned the compil- ment. They would meet under the trees and take Jong walks in the surrounding country. Naturally, these little meetings, filled with a copious inter- change of love words and caresses, led to the birth of a deeper passion, and they’ declared their mutual and eternal love. After this declaration their actions grew more bord, and they made love to each other in open daylight. The father of the girl seriously objected and endeavored to break up the courtship, aad his measures were so severe that the young couple decided to elope. ‘They car- Tied their plan into execution and Louisa fled with Isaiah Tuesday night, taking the cars at Camden station, Baltimore, for this city. Warrants were sworn out for their arrest by the angry father, and the officer traced the pair to this city, but was here informed they had gone north. - Itis stated by the Baltimore American, which tells the story of the elopement, that Loutsa’s grandfather conducts a horse market in Washington. ‘The two families at Darley Park take the affair In exactly different Ughts. ‘The Lovells are apparently light-hearted and happy, while the home of the Harrisons is ren- dered sad Gn account of Loutsa’s action in this tale Ol gypsy love.
