The otner death reported yesterday wasthat of Frederick Schhnpff. aged 5 years,at his father's residence, 2315 Grove street.

Every indication do« points to a dimi-nution in the violence of the epidemic,which is undoubtedly due to the promt)!

and efficient measures of the city author-ities.

Only four cases were reported to the !Health Department yesterday.

A number of patients have been taken toFabela Hospital, where the best

'

assistance was at once rendered them.Reports detrimental to the hospital havebeen freely published, though withoutInundation. All the cases of typhoid

withone horse and occupied by two menattempted to pas* them coming downBroadway, hugging the sidewalk nearFlint's pharmacy. \u25a0\u25a0

The lioseicart horse was under fullswing, and took a leap as though attempt-ing to jump over the buggy and its occu-pants. He landed square on to» of it,with bueey, horse, men and all underneathin an inextricable mass. Stranee to say,nobody was hurt, although' the driver ofthe bugey. James Mallin, had a slight cut

inhis hand, and both men were consider-ably shaken up. The buggy was smashedinto splinters, and was picked ud piece-

. meal and carried away. The bigcarthorsefell and was supposed for awhile to bedead, but is all right. Mnllin thought theright of way ought to go with other Fourthof July privileges.

BERKELEY,

The Fourth was very quietly celebratedin the Academic Cily of Berkeley yester-day. The gayly decorated electric-carsfrom Oakland brought heav? loads eachtri i» of small parties, fathers and mothers,

!young meu and maidens with amateurphotographers in abundance. These forthe most part scattered over the universitydomain of 2,' jO acres or climbed higheramong the hills and there lunched fromthe well-filled hamper brought along andpassed a quiet day.

The business streets were almost dejsorted, and every one who could took aday of (jtiietrest from the maddening rush

lof daily life. Many went to the noisy] city across the bay and many more to theicelebration nt Lorin in tiie afternoon. Allsouth Berkeley was there— the lasses inbewitching costumes of flowers and chal-hes, and the lads in abundance wishing tobe bewitched. A straightaway •_"2u-yardcourse had been prepared along Alcutrazavenue, near Lowell street. A row oflarge, graceful eucalyptus lined oneBide of tbe course aud of piues the

;other.Much enthusiasm was manifested in the I

;games and men who had almost forgottenj their boyhood days entered them as heart-ily as the young budding athlete, andwomen who bad never run a race in their |

ilife felt some.what of the thrillwhich be-;lon^s to the successful athlete. Mrs. Mc-| Swain succeeded In breaking the string

DEATH HOVERING.

The Victims of the NightBrawl.

THOS. W. MORRIS ARRESTED.

He Is 'Accused of the Stabbing ofDavid McCarthy and Otto

Pope.

£)ne man dying of Ills wound, anotherlingering between life and death, the as-sailant identified and incarcerated withinthe "City Prison tanks," are the sequel tothe stabbing affray of Monday night.

David McCarthy and Otto Pope, tin-roofers by occupation, aro the dying vic-tims of a drunken spree.

Otto Pope, who is not so seriouslywounded as McCarthy, was interviewedyesterday by a Call reporter and said:"At6 o'clock on Monday evening Mc-Carthy and myself met on Mission streetand we proceeded to a store near the Cre-morne Theater on Market street, wherewe purchased about eighty cents' worth offirecrackers. We then went back to Mis-sion street and to a saloon on Fourth andMission streets,' kept by a man namedKaiser, where we hod a fewdrinks with Patrick _, Deinpsey. Iwent out on the sidewalk and setoff some of the fireworks which we hadbought, and 1 threw some of them lighted

into the aaloon. 1 then walked down halfa block and went into Yon der Mebdeu'ssaloon, where Ihad another drink. Soonafter McCarthy came running in as it hewere chased by somebody, and after hegot inside a bottle was thrown heavilyagainst the door. Iwent out and saw acrowd standing on the sidewalk. Ididnot wait, but walked down toward Thirdstreet. At the corner of Third and Mar-ket streets Iemptied my pockets of thefirecrackers and threw away my purseaccidentally at the same time. 1stoppedto look for it,but not finding it walkeddown Third street toward Market. Feel-ing dizzy,Iwent into a 'basement' saioonon the corner of Geary and Kearny streetsand called for a seltzer, when some one atthe bar called my attention to blood whichwas slowly dripping down my trousers. 1immediately walked out to the old City*Hall on Kf-arny street, believing that theReceiving Hospital was there, and walkedback to Market street, where Igot a carwhich brought me here, and Iwas sur-prised to find McCarthy also here badlywounded. Ido not know who struck me,as 1did not realize that Iwas hurt at thetime."

Pope lives at 409 Minna street and waswounded in the abdomen.

David McCarthy, who is not expected tolive, was wounded most frightfullyIn theabdomen, having one of the most impor-tant intestinal arteries completely severed.Dr. Lewison Deane had to push the intes-tines back, which wore protruding fromthe wound when the injured man arrivedat the hospital, where he was visited byhis father, his brother and his sister. Mrs.McDonald, who remained by his side ad-ministering to his needs.

Thomas \V. Morris, about 22 years ofage, was arrested early yesterday morn-ing at his homp, on Minna street, wherehe lives with bis widowed mother and abrother, lie was identified by McCarthy ashis assailant, and tie neither denied noraffirmed the charge of assault to murderwhich was placed against him on thebooks of the City Prison, as his attorneywould not allow him to speak.

His mother was seen at her home lastnight and said:

"Last evening (Monday) my son camehome to his supper at 7 o'clock and imme-diately afterward went out. He returnedabout 11o'clock and retired to bed. About4 o'clock this morning my sod Jack awokeand told me that the bell was ringing. 1went to the door and asked what waswanted, when some one said 'Open thedoor.' Iopened it and in came three orfour policemen. Officer Allen asked forTom and they went into the. room wherehe was in bed and ordered him to dressand go with them. Iasked what was thecharge, but they refused to tell."

Mrs. Morris seems to be a respectablewoman. Her husband was a shoemnker.He died four years ago at Antioch. on theSacramento River, wheie the accused wasborn twenty-two years ago. The prisoner

was recently convicted of larceny and sentto the House of Correction, from which hewas liberated a short time ago.It appears that Morris went to a saloon

kept by a man named Muhl. on the cornerof Everett and Fourth streets, where hetook a large cheese knife out of a boxwhich was on the lunch-countpr. Hereturned soon after with the knife, and,laying it on the counter, remarked. "Ihave done those two fellows up." meaningMcCarthy and Pope. He then went awayand Muul soon after lifted the knife andwiped it in a towel which he had in hishand. He Immediately noticed the blood,and sent foran officer, to whom he relatedthe story which led to the arrest of Morris.

Thomas W. Morris, who is charged withhaving fatally stabbed both David Mc-Carthy and Otto Pope, was positivelyidentified by his victims last night.

McCarthy and Pope are lying on a cotin a critical condition from their woundsand the surgeons think they have nochance of ultimate recovery. On learningof their condition the police concluded totake their ante-mortem statements of theterrible affray.

Morris was consequently taken from hiscyliin the old City Hall and escorted tothe Receiving Hospital by Detective Sil-vey and Officer Hauck 'ast night. He washandcuffed, but beyond expressing hisdisgust at being ironed and complainingthat the cuffs chafed his wrists and he de-sired them loosened, he refused to talk.

He did not appear to realize the seriousnature of his crime and preserved a sullensilence whenever questioned about thestabbing.

Morris was first taken to the bedside ofMcCarthy, who lay groaning with pain onhis cot.

McCarthy, after scrutinizing him care-fully, positively Identified him as the manwho had stabbed him, and expressed his

| willingness to make a dying statement ofthe trouble.

When he spoke the words that willprob-ably fasten his murder noon Morris, thelatter regarded him with an air of stoicalindifference and smiled grimly.

McCarthy made the foil., wirierstatement:"My name is David McCarthy. Iam a

native of California and 34 years of age."Now that lam about to die from the

injuryIreceived last evening, July 3, atthe northeast corner nf Fourth and Mis-sion streets, Imake the followingstate-ment and declaration :

"Iwas going into tMo saloon known asKaffir's this morning.

"Thomas Morris wa9 there and ran theknife right tuto my •-toniacli, an* thenMorris ran outside the saloon.

D. J. McCarthy."McCarthy signed withdifficultythe docu-

raeni, which was witnessed by Detective

L. M.Silvey and Officers Peter Hauck andThomas Norton.

Morris was next taken to the bedside ofOtto Pone.

Pope stated that although he did not seeMorris' face at the time the cutting wasdone he was positive he wa< his assailantfrom his general appearance.

At a late hour both the wounded menwere resting easily. They are, however,growing gradually weaker from the effectsof their terrible wounds, and the surgeon 6entertain no hope of their recovery.

ANOTHER MAN STABBED.

Thomas Flynn Gashes Edward Car-ter's Abdomen.

Edward Carter, a young niillhand, wholives In Oakland, was stabbed in the abdo-

meii^it the corner of Clay and Kearnystreets early yesterday morning. He was

jostled while passing by three youngmen, one of whom asked him ifhe wanted'o fight. Carter replied that he was will-ing and ready to do battle.

His unknown assailant thereupon drewa kuife and stabbed Hip young working-man as stated. Having done this he coollywiped the blood off his weapon andwalked away with his companions. Thewounded man and a friend who was withhim went to the Receiving Hospital. whereCarter's injuries were pronounced serious.

Two hours later Officer George Mc-Mahon arrasted three men whose appear-ivnee tallied with the description niven himof Carter's assailants. They were lodged

in tin' tanks of thn City Prison, and one ofthem, named Thomas Flynu, was l:*stnight identifieda9Carter's assailant. Thenames of his companions aro Edward Stan-ton and Jam<»* Smyth.

A FOOLHARDY MAN.

He Celebrates the National Holidayby Shooting a Girl.

George Stanton, a white-haired old man.and one of the pioneers, who has lived forsome years in the What Cheer House, cor-ner of Sacramento and Leidesdorff streets,

celebrated the national holiday in apeculiarway. He sat at the open window of hisroom, which faces llalleck street, and firedbullets from a big navy revolver at thewall of Newhall'fl Sons &Co.'s building.

227 Sansome street, the side wall of whichis on Ilalleck street. There are over adozen bullet marks on the wall,and threeor four on ooxes lying on the sidewalk.

Inthe afternoon whileStanton was thusdisplaying his wild enthusiasm, six orseven young girls were amusing themselveson Halleck street, never dreaming that thenoise they heard came from a navy revol-ver. Among the children were two littlegirls, daughters of one of the proprietorsof the American Exchange and Eunice C.Anderson, a pretty 10-year-old child, whoseparents reside a- 2254 Adeline street, Oak-land- She was on a visit to her aunt, wholives at the American Exchange.

Suddenly the people in the office of thehotel were startled by hearing a loudshriek from Halleck Rtreet, and on run-ning out saw the little Anderson girllyingon the sidewalk with blood flowingfrom a wound in her right leg, near theknee. A bullet from Stauton's navy re-volver had danced from the wall of thebuilding and struck the little girl on thelog. severing an artery.

>he was carried into the hotel to heraunt's room and Drs. Bunker and Pelhamsummoned. They extracted the bulletand dressed the wound.

Dr. BunKer does not think the wounddangerous, although it is serious. Thelittle sufferer was resting quietly when herfather, who was almost distracted and whohad been gent for, reached her bedside inthe hotel.

Stanton was arrested and taken to theCity Prison, where he will remain till theresult of his foolhardiness is ascertained.Ho acknowledged that he fired some shotsfrom the revolver, but declared that he in-tended shooting high, so that no one couldbo injured. He did not appear to be underthe influence, of drink. Many years ago,Stanton, who is known as

" Cockev,"threw a colored man named Richards downa flight of stairs in- a house on Brenhamplace and broke his neck. For this he didtime inSan Quentin.
