A WOMAN WITH A KNIFE
 
A Negress Who Objected to Her Husband Living With a White Woman.
 
Niagara Falls, Sept. 8 - For some time Frank RICHARDSON, a very light-colored negro, rather handsome in appearance, has been living with Mary GREEN in Wagner's saloon and boarding-house on Main street, near Elmwood avenue. The woman is white and both are young. At the same time RICHARDSON's wife, a fine-looking, intelligent negress, has been living in Syracuse and was happy in the thought of her husband's working hard here, as the thought, for her support. RICHARDSON was a waiter in a hotel.
     The innocent wife got wind of something wrong and suddenly appeared in this city, where, after a few inquiries, she learned the truth. Wednesday night, accompanied by a niece named Pearl RICHARDSON, she went to Wagner's place and direct to her husband's room. The door was locked, but she broke it down and entered as her husband and the GREEN woman were starting toward a window to jump out. Mrs. RICHARDSON drew a knife and made a rush for the white woman. Her husband stepped between them and was slashed across the hands for his interference.
     In the meantime Mary GREEN got a revolver and threatened to shoot Mrs. RICHARDSON, who quitted her husband and rushed with her open knife toward the woman with the gun. Mary GREEN didn't even stop to pull the trigger, but simply dropped the gun and vaulted through the window and fled like the wind up the street, nearly disrobed. RICHARDSON followed and his wife came after him.
     The shouts and screams of the three brought out a crowd and cries of "Murder!" and "Help!" were raised. When the police arrived RICHARDSON, his wife and Pearl, RICHARDSON had disappeared, while Mary GREEN was shrieking hysterically and unable to move. She was locked up and yesterday morning the other three persons and a white woman named Lily MORGAN were arrested. To-day they will be brought before the Police Court.

While Drunk He Attempted to Drown and Also to Hang Himself.
 
John DOUGHERTY, who came to this city from Olean about ten years ago, and who, previous to coming here, had the misfortune to lose all his fingers and one thumb in an accident, was before Judge ERNST in the Police Court this morning on a charge of drunkenness.

He was pulled out by some persons who were near at the time, and turned over to Detective LAUER and Officer MULLANE, who were summoned.
     DOUGHERTY seemed to be determined to end his existence, for after being locked in a cell at the police station he tried twice to hang himself with his trousers and suspenders, but was each time cut down by the officers.
