tQjr-AbOut four weeks ago young ger tie
man. who gave his name As Nye, appeared at
the boarding house of Mr.. Park, on street
between "a and Sd streets, with young lady
who he represented as his wife, and asked to
see the rooms. The keeper of the house
showed the pair several rooms, and finally
they chose the back parlor, into which the
young man had piano placed for the lady.
and soon they were living quite comfortably
The young man, as also the lady, informed the
other occupants Of the house that they had re-
Gently been married, and that he being a mail
agent, couldn't be home during the day. He
appeared 10 be very regular in his habits, and
was at home every evening, and q short
time they were looked upon by their fellow
bOaTGeTs as quite an acquisition. Christmas
times came, and the couple mixed with the
others IN the amusements gotten up in the
house, and seemed to enjoy the fun amazing
"; but on New Years eve there came a change
The occupants of the house had mostly re-
tired about 10 o'clock, not feeling inclined s1to
watch The New Year in''-but were destined
10 have precious little sleep. About IL O'Clock
the juggling OF the door bell awoke some OF the
OcCupsn MIS-. and the servant found at the door
q stout mIddle-aged lady, accompanied
by an able bodied young man. They
informed the servant that the lady was
the mother and the gentleman the brother OF
MRS Nye, who they wished 10 see, and asked
which was the room OF the couple The SER
want de- grated the room in question, and
started up stsirs, but bad not gone many steps
before screams OF "mHrder" from the room
awOke the house. The proprietor, Mr.. Park
sprung ont of bed and hastily attempted to
change his night-shIrt tor thicker apparel, but
the frequency of the cries and the din from the
room induced him 10 disregard all laws sf eti-
quette, and down stairs he went TO the room in
question. followed by some of the boarders
Here they found that Mr.. and Mrs. Nye had
been hauled from bed, the former by the big
brother and the latter by the mother of the
lady. The young man was walking into Mr.
N. with a stout stick, which he used mostly
on bis victim s head. and he finding discretion
the better part of vaior, made a break for the
window, carrying the greater portion of N
window-sash with him, and took refuge IN the
stable. While this was going on the mother
had her daughter over her knee and was APP
plying raw hide to raw hide, giving her, in
the language of a-witnesS. " Hail Columbia
The spectators thinking that there should be
moderation in all things, interposed and
stopped this castlgatiOD, and heard the expla-
II tons of the parties, from which il appeared
that the daughter had been recently marrsd to
gentleman in New York, and had run away
from him and came mere, taxing up with Mr.
Nye, who bad been a former lover.
The mother and son were induced 10 leave
the hoGss, and the daughter retired to bed
suffering smartly from the effects of the cow
hiding, and Mr.. Nye came out of his hiding
place IN the stable after the coast was clear
The trouble was not all over vet, no viewer,
and In about an hour there was another ring OF
the door bell The servant was admonished TO
be careful who she let in, and opened the door
aJar, when the former visitors pushed forcibIy
past her, and Immediately went TO the room OF
Dir. and Mrs. Nye, when the brother dragged
the former from the bed and gave him another
tremendous whacking, continuing TO apply
prietOr or the house and boarders, who went
10 the rescue. At this visit the mother did
net use the hide, but while the son was attack.
ing Nye, gave the daughter a terrible tongue
flashing. As before, the boarders requested
tAem TO leave the Eouse, which invitation they
finally complied with. On turning their at
ton 10 the injured man, they found that he was
badly cut, and took him TO a neighboring drug
store, where his wounds were dressed.
The following morning, the young couple
doubtless thinking that their quarters were
getting too hot for them, quietly left the house,
and the following day their baggage was sent
for by the porter of a hotel; the piano being
left as security for the board bill.
