Two Men Hack Each Other with Knives in New York City. New Yoru, Aug. 17.—There was s deadly en- counter with knives on the sidewalk in front of Belle Angel’s house, 105 West $24 street, at 3 o’clock this morning, in which Edward Brown stabbed James Mulligan in the neck. Mr. Mul- ligan used his knife also and nearly severed Mr. 's right hand from his arm. Mr. Mulli- juries are expected to result in his Brown tendo cause of it. i into Mme, Angel's house unannounce: Brown wanted her, but the madame refused | C8° toserve him. She walked away from him. Brown's eyes flashed and he tiptoed after her. When just behind her he drew back his fist and then let it fly forward, — her in the back. He hen reached around to his hip pocket and SS knife, seeing which the git ked: ‘Why, madam, run; he e ig) about poun rut she ran, She dashed out of the par- lor and floundered down stairs to the basement. Then she dashed into the area Rite, where she stood panting and puffing. ‘ust then a muscular-looking man, with a lon, blonde mustache and a ai! it, passed by an asked: ‘What's the matter?” “Oh, I want a detective,” she gasped. “There isa wild man in there, He is Jack the Ripper a “Well, I'm the detective on the block for to- night and I will go in and protect you,” said the stranger. then followed the madam into the house and up to the parlor, where Brown was still shouting for beer. ‘‘What do you mean? Do you war on women, you cur? Come out of here,” said the newcomer, “Are you a detective?”’ said Brown, ‘Well, show me your shield.” “I don’t feel like doing so now, but you'll come with me.” As he said this the alleged detective grappled with Brown and they struggled to the front- hall door, which the madam promptly opened, and both men scrambled down the steps to the street. Several blows tween the men and then Brown drew his long keen knife. Muiligan produced one almost as quickly. For a moment both blades flashed in the gas light as they were held aloft. Brown’s knife descended first and struck Mulligan’s neck on the left side, Mulli jan's arm fell then, and Brown, rais- ing his right arm, to guard his heart, caught the full force of the knife cut in his right wrist. Several other lunges were made by the desperate men, but they succeeded only iu cutting each other's clothes to ribbons, Brown turned and walked rapidly to 6th ave- nue. Mulligan walked up the steps of the house with the blood pouring from the wound in his neck. The madam opened the door for him and he said very coolly: “Get me a cab and, see, mum is the word. Let no one know I was out here. I would not take $10,000 and have it known I was in 32d street tonight,” The girls promised and the cab was pro- cured, e wounded man was driven to the New York hospital, where he gave his name as James Mulligan lived at 39 9th avenue. hb age as thirty years and = his occupation as “gentleman.” Meantime Brown had walked to 6th avenue, and when he met a policeman he held up his hand and asked: Vhere can I get this dressed?” “Great Scot, man, you are bleeding to death! An ambulance was summoned and soon Brown lay on a cot near Mulligan in the hos- pital. The police arrested Belle Angel and her girls and had them down to Jefferson Market" court as wit- nesses this morning, but a certificate came from the hospital ‘ing that neither of the men could appearin court today, Both men are well dressed and Brown had a large sum of money on his person.

This morning Messrs, Rudolph Hering, Sam’l M. Gray and F. P. Stearns, the engineers recently appointed by the President to examine into and prepare @ plan of sewerage disposal for the District of Columbia, called upon Maj. Raymond. They were taken to the White House by Maj. Raymond and introduced to the President who gave gave them some general instructions regarding their duties and impressed apon them the ne- cessity of doing their work thoroughly. Upon their return from the White House they wero presented to the District Commissioners, AT Wo! A room was set aside for them in the District buildings and they were soon at work with Capt. Lusk studying the present plan of sewer- age disposal. The subject was discussed at length. In the afternoon the gentlemen, ac- om cemne by Superintendent of Sewers Mo- Comb mad ve a the city and took alook at the sewers, ‘ey will return to their homes in a few days, Mr. Hering, one of the e: ing to a Sran reporter said that the question of sewerage disposal was a vexed one, but that he had no doubt it would be mastered. He said that the plans would be ready to present Congress at their first session. 4 QUESTION OF APPROPRIATIONS, Capt. Lusk in a letter to the Commissioners today calls attention to the fact that there is a large unexpended balance remaining from the appropriation for the preparation of plans for sewage disposal The Commissioners did not include an item for this purpose in their estimates for the cur- rent year for the reason that the original appro- rixtion was understood to be a specific on pt. Lusk says that the appropriation became available so late last year that it was impossible to make the necessary measure- ments before this spring, and the heavy and continual raintalle of the present season have rendered it useless to attempt a large and essential class of observation, Capt. Lusk says further that if the Treasury department persists in the decision that the appropriation was a strictly annual one, no part of which is available after the lst of July of this year, that decision will have the effect of defeating the intent of Congress, which evidently meant that the appropriation should be expended for the purpose for which it was made. Capt. Lusk suggests that the first con- troller be called apon for an opinion, and the Commissioners have so ordered. THE CHEROKEE COMMISSION. It Can Do Nothing More Until After the Meeting of the Indian Council. Gen. Fairchild, the chairman of the Chero- kee commission, appointed to negotiate for the purchase of the Cherokee strip in the Indian territory, has just returned from the territory, Today he called upon Mr. Chandler, the acting secretary of the interior, and told him that the commission had accomplished all that was pos- sible until after the meeting of the Indian council in November, At that time the propo- sition of the government to purchase their land for $1.25 per acre will be considered. The council is the representative body of the tribes and its action is final, Mr. Wilson, an- other member of the commission, is in the southern portion of the territory negotiating with the Indian tribes there, and ex-Gov. Hartranft, the third member, was obliged to go home some time ago on account of sickness, Gen, Fairchild suid that the work of thecom- mission was practically completed until after the Indian council met, and there would be no meeting of the commission until the action of the council is announced. will remain in this city in order to complete a report of the work of the commission up to the present time and will then go to his home in Wisconsin, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ineers, in speak- NO PAY DURING SICKNESS OR ON RAINY Days.
