wen us uiu aucmi circlet of new York.
I he alluir grew out of a vouuir man nt
h'inniiiir to clipo with n marriud woman.
when ho was pursued by (lie Inwl.ariil,
wno, in mo neat or passi m, rrpeatedly
tabbed the young man with a bowio knife,
until he was supposed to Ui mortally
wounded. The allhir occurred between
threw and four o'clock on Sunday morning,
tha !2ih till., without any outcry having
been made, and there bus sure been an
attempt to .suppress tho facts from tho gos
siping world. e give tho facts below t
Mr A; is a hcnvy merchant in
Now 1 orlr, and his residence for some
time past been in Williamsburg, in tho
aristocratic portion of tho city known as
South Side. His wife is a beautiful and
Rixoiuplushed woman, heloiijriiiir to a
wealthy and highly respectablo family in
New York, and was looked upon by her
husband as evwy thing thut could bo do
tired in a partner for Jifo.
Tho third person, Air. U , a young
man doing business iu New York, is also
of high standing. ,
Some three months - since tho wife and
Mr. 11 formed an acquaintance in a Broad
way saloon. Tho two frequently met at
the samo place, and finally became ar
tlently attached, and feehng that they
would bo unhappy if separated, tho lady
decided to abandon her husband nnd chil
dren and elope with her lover. ' Early on
the morning of tho 4th was fixed upon to
consummate their designs and carry their
plans into execution.
The husband had received soms intima
tion of die step his wife was about to take,
and though he could not credit tho rumor,
decided to be fully convinced of its truth or
falsity. ...
n the morning in- question, Mr.. A.
left the house, and meeting a carriage, she
immediately sprung into it, when the dri
ver proceeded toward the South Tenth
treot ferry.
,Tho husband was now convinced of the
intentions of his wife, awl overtaking' the
carriage, wrenched open the door, and im
mediately commenced an onslaught upon
the young man with a bovvie knife, and
did not desist until he had inflicted a dan
gerous "vound in tho neck, several upon
the arm, and one which will pruWr th
arm useles, and also a severe gush across
the stomach. During tho ineleo the young
man discharged his pistol, the ball grazing
his adversary's forehead and causing a
5IIJlll wounu.
1 1 he ' carriage was turnpd hurl t ibi
house, the vouuir man removed ton room.
and the family physician was called in to
uress tne wounds.
At this stage of the all'air the two con
tleinen recognized each other as intimate
business friends in New York.
As the lady remained incog., Mr. A
doclured tlmt he was not aware tf th r.
lations existing between Mr. 11. and the
lady, or he would not for the world have
taken this step. ,
Mr. A. was very sorrv for his rashness
rind regretted that he had not allowed his
wife to leave without molestation.
- The physician was of opininion that the
wound would prove futal. A consultation

and two other skillful surcreons were sent
for. The consultation took place that eve
ning, and it was decided that there was a
chance for hi recovery.
The wife was discarded and proceeded
nt once to her friends in New York. Du
ring the day the father and brother of the
lady visited A., and after having heard hit
version "of the affair, did not blame him
for the course he had taken. .
The wife consigned the custody of the
three children to her liieband, after which
he generously gav her the eldest boy.
