A man named Noah Lougee, who kept a broker's office in Third street, above Ches nut, was murdered this morning at about a quar'er past six o'clock. by a mea who cuterred hisoffice,it is supposed, for the purposo of rubbing him. 31r. Lougee re ceived tine or two stalbs in the side from a dirk. one of which entered his heart and produced death almost instantly. From the appearance of the wound, it would seem that the murdered man was stabbed across the counter, although he afterwards got to the door, and attracted attention by .m indescrihable noise, with his hands tightly pressed against his breast. The a"assin, though he resorted to 'he stale rustoim of bein; himself the londest alarm ist, crying "Stop thiell' and "-Murder!" was itniediately ptrsued by a number of citizens who heard the cries, and was final Iv captured. after a vigorous chase, in the tnurth story of warehouse in Frontstreet, near Walnut, where he had endeavored to secrete himelf. On being arrested, the only reply he made to questions asked of him, was "be called.lme a liar!" hut it is reported that he subsequently confessed to officer Rus sel that lie purposely excited a quarrel with M1r. Lougee, with the intention of robbing ,ad murdering him. The dirk with which he kilied his victim was founid in a heap of sanid and mortar, at the corner of Third amnd Chiesint streets, where he hart thrown it ill his flight.
