To night O'Brien met Truman on the corner of Broadway and Twenty-seventh streets and accused him of attempted blackmail. The remark enraged Truman , who crave utterance to some strong language.

Both men wore token to the Twenty-ninth street police station and thence removed to the Now York hospital. Excitement in the locality was interne. Tha causa of the quarrel ia said to be an at tempt on the part of Trueman to blackmail a Wall street friend of O'Brien. The friend is supposed to bo Mr. Kelly , of the firm of Kelly & Bliss , book-makers. The charge of felonious assault was made against both men at the station house. The knlfo used boa a blade a foot long and an inch and a quarter wide. O'Brien declined to taka an antithetic while his wound waa being seived np , and both men Indulged in recriminations while their wounds were being dressed In the name ward in the hospital.
