Murder.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 5-- Yesterday, during a Sunday brawl in a saloon in Blakely, a mining settlement near Scranton, two miners, a Welshman named Joseph Morgan and an Irishman named Patrick Slaven were engaged in a fight, when another Welshman, John Edwards, came to the assistance of his countryman, and, during the melee, fired a revolver at Slaven, killing him instantly. Morgan and Edwards were arrested and brought to the Wilkesbarre Jail to-day.
