QUARTETf OF DAMSELS Were the Only Gri«t brought to The Mill. At 11 o’clock this forenoon Recorder M. B‘ Eubanks noti fied Deputy Juice that court was ready to do business. Then an officer rolled back the stone, and from the yawning cavernous arch,that leads to the Catecombs of Rome, there came trooping a quartett of dark skin ned Amazonians. The first number on the pro gramme was a description of a “scrap” between Cora Phelps and Georgia Cochran. In this act several outsiders who hap pened to be onlooaers in displayed considerable histronic talent as narrators. Cora said that “dat long, slim nigger gal made fun er mi heel caws a feller gub me er stick er candy. Den me en her bandied wurda tell she up en low: ‘Say, you litl sawed off shee-koon—ef yer doan go long, now, w’y I’ll castergate yer quicker’n perdir dition could scorch er plume,' ” or words to that effect. “Wid, dat,” continued Cora, “I retched up en grabd her en de collar, an’ den we had it.” The police say there was blood, wool, hair and the ground tore up, when they arrived, also a navy blue sulphurious odor in the ozone, and from what they could hear, this last mentioned phenominon was caused by “langwage.” Recorder Eubanks fined them $5 or 10 days each on the street gang. A smile played over Co ra’s bulldog chin, while Geor gia wore a sullen look, worried withal. Nellie Dodd, a young damsel of uncertain years and charac ter, was next called. Nellie en tered a plea of guilty to a eharge of drunk. The police say they found her in the Northern sec tion of the city, and that she was as drunk as a “biled owl.” Nellie said she had started to a Darktown dance, but had look ed too often on the corn when it beeded. Recorder Eubahki reminded her that on an average of once a month for over a year she had been before him for drunken ness. “Now,” said he, “I am going to give you a chance to sober up, and if you don’t do it and keep out of this court, you had bett»r leave town when you get out of the street gang.” He sentenced her to pay a fine of sls or serve 30 days. And Nelly rapidly exchanged a sickly smile for a full force of dry grins. The other Amazon was Mary Brown. Mary is a young woman of about 20, with a 5-cents-a pound ginger-snap color. When she entered from the Catecombs, she wore a jaunty look and was chewing gum toibeat the band. After herjnterview with the Recorder, she departed those coasts, wearing aj pained ex pression, and was chewing the rag to beat old Blanco. lhe cause of the change was what the Recorder said to Ma ree. From what a dude coon swore, Mary is a lulu. Last night she had an audience on one of the streets of the Fifth wird. with a Mias Lovie Samuels, and what Maree did to Lovie was a plen- r s™ Vwlll a I OK? » COMFORT IN YOUR HOME, as well as absolute cleanliness, no dust, no dirt, vou get with steam heat.

Childs, 223, Broad St. SCAIP no MORE tickets. Murray Escapes Severe Punish ment The sentencing yesterday at May’s Landing, N, J , of Steph en Murray, of Atlantic City, for scalping railroad tickets, is an other instance of the inexora bleness of Jersey justice, and the futility of hoping to tamper with railroad tickets with impunity. On the evening of August sth Murray was arrested in Atlantic City for scalping Pennsylvania and other railroad tickets. He He plead “not guilty” but was committed to jail in default of SBOO bail. He was brought into court yesterday under four distinct indictments, and unexpectedly pleaded guilty under all. He was sentenced under one indict ment to imprisonment for 60 days from the date of his incar ceration, and to pay a fine of $20.00 and costs. He also prom ised to leave the state and nevei to engage in ticket scalping again. The other three indict ments are held over his Jiead as a further insurance of good conduct. The prosecution of this case was founded on information furnished by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. This compa ny has been instrumental in bringing other violators of the ticket scalping law to justice, owing to the deceptions practic ed on their patrons, and the an noyances and inconveniences which they are consequently put to. The practice of scalping rail road tickets is a nefarious one, and it is to be hoped that the Pennsylvania railroad will con tinue its good work until the in sidious and palpable evil is en tirely eradicated.—Philadelphia Record, Sept. 24. ty. Dr. McCall dressed Lovie’s wounds, and several of the offi cers testified that Lovie’s ear was split open, a steak had been carved off' her chin, a trocha had been opened along her neck, and that a Vesuvius shell had struck her shoulder blade and made a gap in it. Mary was. sentenced to ten days in the Catecombs, without work. This was done, his Honor stated, to punish M ai id while all parties at interest awaited de velopments in the Samuels household. And that’s why M iry had a lamb—like look, as she returned to the Catecombs. This ended the “Fall of Nine veh” for the day. Mr. Ike May is smiling all over bis face, for the rush is certainly on at the big Kuttner store. ■K.. . J • . .. A LOCfli HAPPENINGS.
