Fugitive Slaves Arrested in Cincinnati.
ONE OF THE U.S. MARSHALLS STABBBED BY A SLAVE, ETC.
CINCINNATI, Saturday, June 13th.
This forenoon, as four of the U.S. Deputy Marshals were arresting a fugitive slave and his wife, the slave stabbed one of them, Mr. J. C. ELLIOTT, with a long sword knife, upon which another of the marshals shot the slave in the abdomen four times. The negroes were taken into custody. The marshals wound is dangerous, and the negro’s is considered to be mortal. The affray occurred in a room in Vine street, near the Post-Office, where negroes were secreted.
